While Danish is the official Ian

If Denmark decides to part with the
islands there will remain to her only
two COLONEL possessions-Greenland
and Iceland, which have on aggregate
area more than five times as large as
the mother country, but with only one
twenty-seventh the population. The
1873 square miles of Denmark's West
Indian territory sustain nearly three
times as many people as the 46,74O
square miles of Greenland.
Naval officers regard the Danish
West Indies as most valuable for any
European Government wishing to
quarrel with the United States and
have urged it was essential to the
highest degree to keep them from fall
ing into unfriendly hands. They have
pointed out that they are very near

Denmark's huge expenses since the
beginning of the war are said to be
responsible for her willingness to sell
the islands.

This editorial has to do with wide
spread evil. 1t says further:
"A striking instance came to notice
recently in a suburban town. For
some weeks sporadic cases of diph-
iberia had been appearing. Every
care was taken to find out the source
Of the trouble-but all to no avail,
There were carriers at large. and no
one knew who was responsible. So It
was decided to make a systematic ex-
animation Of the throats of the school
children, and to send cultures Of all
suspicious-looking cases to the labor
atory. II was found that twenty-five
per cent of these cultures gave a po-
sitiye reaction. so, of course. these
children were promptly banished. and
quarantine ordered by the board Of
health. The nature of the work and
the necessity for these precautions
were explained TO the parents in ev-
cry instance; nevertheless, some Of
these same parents were very angry
and tried various devices TO break the
quarantine. One Of the mothers
threatened law suit unless her child
was promptly taken back to school

several hours after this child had been
sent home before the mother could be
brought to terms. Meanwhile, to spite
the authorities who had perpetrated
this outrage upon her family by bar

him over to one of her neighbors to
play with the children. Two of these
children promptly contracted diph-
iberia, and the younger one, scarcely
more than a baby, developed a mafig-

Early Treaty Failed

The acquisition of the islands by the
United States has been the subject OF
diplomatic negotiation since the Civil
War. Secretary Seward began nego-
tiations for their acquisition in 1865,
because the naval operations OF the
war had shown the necessity of base
in the West Indies. A treaty was made
and ratified by Denmark, but the
United States Senate failed to act on
1t in proper time and it lapseu. Presi-
dent Wilson, in his volume on Con-
gressional Government, written about
1888, referred to the incident as the
treaty marring overpower of the
Senate"
Inefficient efforts we're made TO re-
open the negotiations during President
Grants administration, and in 1902,
soon after President Roosevelt came
into office, Secretary Hay took up the
subject and Denmark offered the
islands for 100000 The United
States Senate this time ratified the
treaty, but the Danish Senate defeated
IT, 1t was said at the time in diplo-
matte circles that German opposition
influential in the Danish Parliament
was responsible for the defeat of the
plan. Later judgment, however, at
tributed the opposition is still said
to exist, and 1t is said If the proposed
treaty is ratified by both Governments
the transfer will be submitted to the
people of the islands. In the first ne
gotiations in 1865 they approved a
change.

Thomas and St. John, in the order of

st. Thomas, which lies only forty
miles east OF Porto Rico and is less

the chief distributing center OF West

rectly attributable to the fact that the
mother country. Denmark, maintained
its neutrality during the numerous
European wars of the Eighteenth cen

 Newtown, April 26-The denuded body of Alfred Osborne of Cold Spring was discovered in the woods near Neversink pond by woodchop- pers Tuesday afternoon. Relatives of Osborne who live in the vicinity gathered and. corroborated the recog- milton of Osborne by his clothing, and articles upon his remains.
 Osborne had hanged himself by his suspenders, and during the months which had elapsed the elements and decay wrought changes. Barely the bones and the clothing remained
 He was about 65 years of age, a well known farmer and generally liked. He disappeared from hofne in August 1915, and though search was made far and wide for him and the aid of the authorities in nearby towns invoked, no trace of him could be found He had been acting queer Iy for a week or more before his dis appearance and his family and friends feared he was drowned Every stream and pond in the vicinity of his home was dragged and patrolled for months but unsuccessfullY. The search had never been given up by his family and friends but their in quiries and efforts were based upon the assumption that he was drowned, or had wandered away under the sway of some brain troub bIe.
 Medical Examiner w. H. K1ernan was notified at once. He viewed the remains and examined the sur roundings minute1y. He pronounced

William Bergold of 759 East Main street, victim of an explosion in the priming room of the Union Metallic Cartridge O., about two months ago has recovered, and he will be discharg- ed from the Bridgeport hospital in a. week.
 Bergold was carrying two rubber re- ceptacIes containing illuminate. He was transferring it from the illuminate magazine to the loading room. The heels of Bergold's shoes had become calked with snow. As he entered the priming room he turned to close the door and his feet slid from under him. The illuminate receptacle slip ped from his grasp and exploded.
 Bergold slid along the floor into close proximity of the exploding fuIminate He suffered 1acerations of the scalp and part of his left arm was blown off. His sight was unimpaired by the explosion. It was at first feared that he would not recover.
 When Bergold is discharged from the hospital he will enter the employ of the Cartridge Co.,, as sort of an overseer. His duty will be to see that the doors of rooms in the department in which he formerly worked are clos ed on chilly days. On warm days he will see that proper ventilation is given the room. For this he will re- cefve SIS per week. He is now re- ceiVing compensation

TREASON CHARGES
 MAY BE PLACED
 AGAINST PLOTTER

London, April 26-Sirs Roger Case ment, leader of the separatist faction in Ireland, who was captured while attempting to land arms from Ger many on the Irish coast, was convey ed across Ireland Saturday by a strong, armed escort who knew the prisoner only by the initials. He ar rived in London without incident and immediately was lodged in the Metro politan prison.
 The fact that Sir Roger Easement has been brought to England to stand trial and is retained in military cus- tody leads to the assumption that he will be tried on the charge of high treason. This charge has been pre- ferred less than half dozen times in England in the last hundred years. The last instance was during the Boer war, resulting in the conviction of Arthur Lynch on 1903. MT. Lynch who is now a member of the House of Commons, was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted and a year later a pardon was granted.
 The Express suggests the possibility that Sir Roger, if convicted of high treason, may be beheaded as under the existing law 8 person found guilty of this offense may, by Crown war rant be given the penalty Of behead- ing instead of hanging.

WOULD SEND FACTORY WORKERS TO TRAINING
 CAMP AT PLATTSBURG

James G. Ludlun, president of the Manufacturers association, will rec ommend to that body that each mem Der of the association send one or more representatives to the summer military training camp at P1attsburg, or other camps, every year, and that the expenses of these men be paid by the factory sending them. He also recommended that men who are will ing to go be allowed time off by the factories employing them in addition to their regular vacations and that they receive their pay as usual Only men who have attended colleges or have training that fits them for posi- tions of high executive ability are al- lowed to attend these camps. The purpose is to teach civilians who in time of war might be called on to serve as officers the duties they would be required to perform.
 About 100 were present at the din- ner and the speeches were on the subject of military preparedness. Ar thuf M. Marsh, president of the club, was toastmaster. Other speakers were Attorney Frederick R. sCoudert of New York; Henry E. Perkins, act ing president of Trinity college, Hart ford, and Dr. William Arnold Shank lin. president of Wesleyan univers- ity.

thinks of the man who dismissed him may be of comparatively small inn portance but the fact that his fellow employees generally take the same View of the situation as the dismissed en- pIoye results in a bad influence upon discipline.
 Marcus M. Marks, president of the borough of Manhattan of the city of New York, realized the truth of these observations regarding the arbitrary exercise of the power of dismissal He accordingly has established a joint trial board consisting of two officials selected by himself and of two em- p1oyes of the same rank as the a.ccus- ed selected by lot.
 A Square Deal in DismissaIs
 President Marks has referred to the trial board more than fifty cases in which he possessed the arbitrary pow CT of removal In every case the judgment of the trial board has been unanimous, the two fellow employees in as the representatives of the president.
 The effect of this joint trial board upon the discipline of the department has been most sa1utary. Instead of distorted descriptions of the star chamber proceedings which preceded the arbitrary dismissal of a guilty en- ploye, the employees who have served on the joint trial board have returned to their fellow employees with the doc trinesof the square deal. No innocent emp1oye can lose his position whiIeo his fellow employees sit upon the trial board to protect his interests, but his fellow employees cannot undertake to protect him if he has really been gull ty of serious misconduct. In each case thus far the emp1oye has been found guilty.
 The abolition of the fning system in the fire department and the estab- lishment of the joint trial board in the office of the borough president have greatly improved discipline in these two branches of the New York city administration. Should this not teach a, lesson to other cities and to private employers who have the interests of their employees seriously at heart?
