British To Prevent
 Waste of Materials

London, April 18.-To enable the British empire to resist any pressure that might be applied by any power or group of powers, in peace or war by control of raw materials and com- modities essential to it's well-being, the Royal Commission on the Nation al Resource. Trade and Legislation, proposes that an investigation be un- dertaken to discover new sources of supply, and substitutes for raw ma terials controlled by other countries and to prevent waste of minerals. The report is signed by Lord D'Abernor, Sir H. Rider Haggard, Sir w. Lorim- CT, Sir G. B. Foster, of Canada; J. R.. Sinclair, of New Zealand; Sir J. w. S.. Lagerman of South Africa; and Sir Edgar K. Bowring of Newfoundland.
 Concerning soldier-settlers, the Commission reported we did not see during our visit to Canada, nor so far as we can gather, is there in the other self-governing dominions, any strong immediate desire on the part of ~ex-soldNrs to turn to the land. On the contrary, we found that some of those who had previously worked on the land showed no inclination to re- turn to it.''
 Women are urged to emigrate in larger numbers than men, and a scheme is outlined for the inter- change of school teachers between the United Kingdom and the domin- ions.
 Cheap, speedy and efficient trans port between all parts of the empire is advocated as a vital necessity for the scientific development of imperial trade. Transport of this nature can- not be obtained except by the use of vessels of great length and draught. Such vessels cannot be employed un- less there exists harbors of a Size and particularly of depth adequate to re- ceive them and suggestions for secur- ing uniform depth at the chief ports Of the various routes are made.
 On the question of ocean freights which have risen since the war and which may not return to pre-war lev el for long time the report says" We are satisfied that the operations of the steamship companies should not remain longer without some measure of government control''
 State acquisition is recommended of cable across the Atlantic with the necessary land lines between Mo- va Scotia and Montreal, there to con- meet with existing services adminis- tered by the Pacific Control Board. A reduction m cable rates is urged especially on press traffic.
 The report says it is possible to ar- range new imperial mail services by 1922 when the latest and existing mail contracts expire. Thigh speed is advocated and 20-knot service from the United Kingdom to Eastern Cana da is suggested.

to supervise with a sword the course of instruction. And this nlinion o1 the Hohenzollerns bore the name of von Bethmann-Hollweg!
 In his autobiography, Schurz tells stirring story of the revolt Of Ser lin to the tune of the "Marseilla1se. When the people marched to the pal ace, King Frederick William " ap- peared on the balcony and assured them of his submission. But he had no moreS than given this assurance when out of the ranks of the soldiery standing beneath his balcony, two shots were fired upon the unarmed people.
 At this murderous tfeachery, the people cried: we are betrayed!' ITO arms! To arms!" Instantly the cob bled streets were torns up to form barricades and anything the indig- nant populace coul Id lay hands on was seized as weapon or defense.
 The King appealed in vain to his "dear Berliners'' to remove the barri- cades, when he found that they could successfully hold them against his soldiers. But his soft words were now in vain. The distrustful people stood their ground through the night and W their terms, entirely withdrawing the troops from the rebellious city,~guar- anteeing the freedom of the press and promising a democratic constitu- tion.
 With a childlike reliance upon the word of a Prince, the Prussian Na- tion rejoiced in it's promised deliver ance, and the season of Hgladness took the name of "Volkerfruhling," or the Peoples Springtime.' Alas, it prov ed that the Prussians were indulging in April hopes.
 Slipping away from revolutionary Berlin to the security of Potsdam, the King straightway broke faith with the people. His soldiers were sent to disperse the constitutional assembly and he issued a delusive constitution of his own framing.
 Today, when nearly three score of years and ten have passed, another Hohenzollern Prince, finding not merely his palace beset by democracy but his whole Empire besieged by a democratic world, is renewing the pledge already twice broken by his perfidious family.
 Bitter experience teaches that @ peoples springtime'' cannot be made by the fair promises of a prince. It will be a late and frosty season at best if Germany consents to wait til after the war and till her liberties are handed down from the throne.
 No people ever yet got rid of an autocracy without getting rid of the autocrat <><
 / Even if the German nation should again trust to the word of a Hohen- zollern, the outer nations will not ac- cept it. The 'peopls who are assualt- ing the last stronghold of irresponsi- ble power cannot afford to stake the future peace of the world on any promissory note which the Kaiser may give until the German people place themselves in a position to in- dorse it and to guarantee its fulfill ment.-James Morgan, Boston Globe

SIGHTS U-B0AT
 DISGUISED AS SAILING SHIP

New York, April 1s-A German sSIb- marine, disguised as a sailing sh carrying three masts. was sighted by the British steamer Southerndown on April when about 300 miles west o1 Lisbon, and for two hours the British freighter was chased, escaping cap ture or destruction through her supe- rior speed. according to officers of the Southerndown on arrival of the vessel today. For some reason unknown the submarine did not fire.
 Yesterday, when near the American coast, the officers added. the United States cruiser Birmingham came up, and on signal the Southerndown was stopped. An officer and an armed guard came on board from the war ship and established the identity of the Sortherndown before she was al- lowed to proceed.

COLD TOWARD DON JAIME

Madrid. Spain, April 1S.-Dor Jaime, of Bourbon, who has been re- peatedly classed among the Spanish partisans of the German cause, is said now by, his former secretary, Don Francisco Melgar, to entertain quite opposite sentiments. Senor MelgaI declared recently that coldness pre- vailed between Emperor William and Don Jaime, despite the statements to the contrary by the so-called Carlist papers that are Germanophile. In a letter to Senor. Melgar, Don Jaime says: "You know that the kind of friendship shown me in Berlin on the occasion of my last trip there con- sisted in having me arrested and in behaving with incredible rudeness to- ward me-"

COMMERCIALIzIN
 U. s. FLAG OBJECT OF PROTESTS HERE
Playing "star spangled Banner" Will be Curtail-
 ed in Amusement Places

The Stratfield took the initiative to. day in the statewide campaign now being waged against the commercial. izing of the American flag and the featuring of "The Star SpangIed Ban. ner'' on amusement programs. Manager Frank M. Cantwell has is. sued orders that the flag floating above the hotel shall be hauled up a, sunrise and taken down at sunset ir conformity with the United States army practice. He will also follow the custom which has always prevail ed in the hotel under his manage ment of permitting '"TheS tar Spangled Banner to be prevailed by the or. chestra only once during the evening This will be at the beginning of the concert rendered at the dinner hour or at the beginning of banquets held in the hotel.
 Similar action will be taken in all public dining rooms in this city as long as music is permitted to form a feature of the program. An effort is now on foot to have the anthem played with that dignity which should UO dNGOI0Su LOi It. DuT1uS US notes all walters and employees are to stand at attention and service will be dis continued temporarily.
 In Bridgeport there is also a ten dency to deprecate the widespread use of the American flag to attract atten- tion to windows in which purely com merciaI displays are made.
 In the army and navy the playing of ssThe Star Spangled Banner" is per- mitted but once a. day, atZ"retreat' in the army, and at "colors'' in the navy. But one stanza is played. During it's rendition all stand attention. At the last note comes the salute to the flag. At no army post or on no warship would the general employment of the anthem be tolerated. It's playing as a part of a medley or as a marching air is most rigidly prohibited.
 However, since the war situation has become acute there has been a general and continual blaring of ."The Star Spang1ed Banner in places of public entertainment. In many cities there has been disposition to forbid or at least resent, it's general employ ment.
