FAST STEEL SHIPS ARE NEEDED

 But the addes phase of the situation is that not only Flu rope begging for ships but in desperate need of them for army supplies It would be moral murder to send troops Europe without supplies The steel ship not an exper men and with right oopeaton steel ships be built The fundamental theory of transportation to deliver supplies with least loss The solution of the submarine of course destroy the evil itself but the next best thing is to build ships that have chance of evadng submarines wooden ship would be easy prey for submarines Big fast steel ships must be buit destroyers must be built By all order wooden shp but keep them the coast wise South American and Pacific service and relieve steel steamers now But whatever is to be done don delay.

THEIR DUAL ALLEGIANCE

It reported that the prince of Germany recently addressed letter to the burgomaster of Berlin compenng certain recruited in that city in the following char actersc language: With such soldiers fetch the Devil from hell To which remark celebrated writer has added the suggestion that the world at large has long been the impression that there no need of fetching that phosphorescent worthy from his orrd abod that he generally supposed to have been actively associated with the kaiser and the prince in the direction of their brutal warfare against civilization One might add to this that the German method of fighting too much for his satanic majesty stomach perhaps and that he preferred after while to retire to his civilized abode He must be there now else his Tutonic ally would not speak of fehchng him back to earth
 On the other hand the kaiser would have believe that te for the advancement of German kutur being waged by close corporation consisting of Me und Got Are the Hohenzoes seeking to hoodwink the world with this peten son is possible that they have effected working agree mentwth both the Creator and the devil that will enable them play both ends against the mdde9 Perhaps their scheme of worship embraces the American aborgne crude idea of the existence of two kinds of good and the evil ones for their program to be to divide their egnce to be able to stand the good of both This suppostion is not as far fetched as it might

THE RIGHT IDEA

The state of West Virginia recently enacted law requir ing every male resident between the sixteen and sixty to perform kind of useful labor for at least thirtysx each week until the termination of the There exemptions whatever that of physical ncapacy and offender of the act is cassed an abebodied male ie loaer oiterer liable to the penalty of compulsory labor and stiff fine besides.
 This the drastic piece legislation yet to attenton but like the idea and believe it could be adopted with profit every state Labor throughout the country and the demand for is steadily in creasing In face of this alarming condition crying shame that iders should be allowed go their easy way with out molestation. They should all be put to work.
 Alaska has direct legislation covering this particular subject but believe that her laws relating could be resorted to with sautary effect all of the munites It might be stretch the law point two certain instances but that would be ustabe in view of the emergency The des could be apprehended and then sentenced useful labor Or better still why i'm press the street oaers and other questionable gentlemen of leisure into active service in the and thereby spare willing worker for service in the civilian ranks7

CONFESSION IN THE

Frederick Farrell Claims He Was
Present and Helped Put

MONTREAL, Feb. 12.--Frederick ].
Farrell, who surrendered 10 the police
here today because he said he was
"conscence stricken" was quoted to-
night as having made statement to
Detective Inspector O'Connor that he
was present on December %, in the
apartment in Philadelphia in which
Maize Colbert, an advertising art

ing, 10 O'Connor, asserted that Bernard
W. Lewis, of Pittsburgh, was respon-
sible for the girls death, adding that
attempts OH his part u intervene IN
Il quarrel between Lewis and Miss Col
bert had been repulsed by both. Lewis
committed suicide in Atlantic City
when about TO be arrested in connec-
lion with the case.
Farrell, who is % years old, is said
to have admitted that he helped Lewis
lift the body OF Miss Colbert into 4
bed in the Apartment after she had
been slain. He left the house with
Lewis, O'Connor said he confessed,
but that he and Lewis separated on
the street and he saw no more Of
Lewis.
The police here were at first disin-
c!ined TO place much credence in Far

possibly he might BE- trying to have
himself extradited in order to avoid
military service. Farrell told them,
however, that while he was born in
England. he had lived for some time"
in the United States and was natur-
allied American citizen. Detective
Inspector O'Connor declared that he
