WHAT TO DO WITH EX.
CONVICTS is BECOMING
A PROBLEM IN GERMANY

BERLIN, March 9.-What to do
with the ex-conVicts who, when SEN
fenced, lost their rights to citizenship
and therefore may not belong to the
army and fight for the fatherland Is i
problem that is occupying public at
tention to an increasing degree.
1t is estimated that there are in the
empire at least 100000 able-bodied
men of military age. now at liberty af-
ter having served prison sentences,
whose work for the government in the
aggregate would be Of tremendous
value if way could be found to utilize
them.
Yet they cannot be sent to the front
in regiments composed of men who
have never been guilty of criminal
acts, because the soldiers would not
tolerate their presence. Nor is 1t feas-
ible to form special companies, as
has occasionally been suggested, for
particularly hazardous duty. Such
duty is regarded by the average sold
Ter as a special honor which he would
be loath to surrender to men branded
by Imprisonment Nor is 1t felt that 1t
would be safe to entrust important
posts to men in whom implicit con-
fidence cannot be placed.
The latest and apparently most well
come suggestion Is that the ex-con-
victs and even conVicts now serving
terms. should be formed into special
working bodies, and put at some kind
of labor for the military authorities,
whether at the front or at home.

FORMER GOVERNOR
WILL VISIT HERE

Governor Chase S. Orsborn. of Mich
igan, who owns a large shooting pro-
serve near Poulan, in Worth county,
this state, accompanied by Mrs. o.
borne, will arrive in Americas to-
morrow morning on visit to Captain
and Mrs. John A. Cobb and Mrs. N. B.
Stewart.
Governor and Mrs. Stewart have
travelled extensively in many parts of
the world, and as trustees Of the
University of Michigan, at his own ex-
pense, he has collected many valued
relics, books. ETC., for that institution,
and his letters to the Sault Ste Marie
News, of Michigan, contain much val
liable historical data In regard to Afri-
ca, the Island Of Madagascar, and
other almost unknown portions of the
world.
While travelling in Africa, Governor
and Mrs. Osborne met Consul General
N. B. Stewart and family at Durham.
Africa, and that acquaintance has
ripened into warm friendship. and
they will be here to meet Mrs. Stewart.
A meeting of people of your own
country in far and distant parts OF
the world brings people close together
and friendships thus formed make as
strong ties as those of blood relation.
Feelings and emotions thus brought
about bring out love of your country
not fully appreciated by those of us
who have never been so situated. We
are all Americans.
