Birth Records for District Indicate
Customary Activity.

Nobody need fear that we will ever
resort to polygamy in America, as
Germany is reported to be considering.
That is, not If the birth rate record
ed in Washington yesterday keeps up.
If yesterdays record is repeated very
frequently, there viii be husbands to
go round and a good many left over
to I'LL up the bachelor halls.
Twenty-three white boys were born
in Washington yesterday, while the
feminine addition to the white popu-,
lation of the city only numbered
twelve.
So rest easys you who are passing
resolutions condemning polygamy.
Even though many of the boys do
have to go to war. at this rate the
race will keep a-going, even though
we never have another Brigham

GERMAN-OWNED
PROPERTY MAY
BEPUTON SALE
Piers and Corporation Hold
ings Waste to Be
Spared.

Two smashing blows were de-
livered yesterday by the govern
ment at, the huge trade organiza-
tion built up by Germany in the
United States.
Through A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian, the adminetra-
tion prevailed on the Senate APP
propriations Committee to report
out amendments to the 81, 900, ,000.-
900 urgent deficiency bills author
iZing the government
/. Take over all the piers of Ger
man-owned steamship lines at Ho-
boken. N. ].
2. To sell to friendly private in
terests the vast German trade cor
porations in this country, affiliated.
like the big German steamship
lines, with the German government
PaImer's Statement.
In a statement issued last night
in explanation of the amendment.
Mr.. Palmer said:
THE amendments to the urgent de-
ficiency bill reported by the Senate
Committee on Appropriations are de-
signed to give to the President the
power to purchase or otherwise ac-
quire the title and possession OF the
docks, wharves and piers of the Ham
burg-American line and the North
German Lloyd line at Hoboken, n. j.,
and also to so amend the trading with
the enemy act as to give the power
to the alien property custodian to sell
enemy property in hts hands.
This power under the law is re-
stricted now to cases where it is
necessary to sell in order to prevent
waste and protect the properly. The
proposed amendments will largely ex-
tend this power and make 1t possible
for the alient property custodian TO
convert into cash enemy interests in
this country.
THE Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd docks are owned by
New Jersey corporations in which the
stock is entirely enemy-owned and
has been turned over to the alien
property custodian Who is placing his
representatives on the board of di-
rectors of those companies.
Ordinary Inyestments Stand.
There is no thought or purpose
of changing the character Of the ord
mary investment in America of the
enemy subject residing in enemy ter
ritory. Such investments will be con-
tinued as at present except when
nece ssary to prevent waste or pro-
tect the property, when sales may
take place.
"If the amendments reported by the
Senate Appropriations Committee
shall become law, the power of sale
will only be exercised by the alien
property custodian in cases similar to
that of the steamship lines where the
enemy ownership of great industrial
and commercial concerns in the Unit
ed States indicates a close aff1liation
with the financial and political powers
in the enemy country.

REDMOND'S
DEATH COMES
DURING CRISIS
Momentous Irish Conven-
ton Faces Crucial
Sessions.

London, March THE death of
John Redmond at the moment when
the convention which is to settle the
future Of Ireland is having its most
mOmentous sessions, is considered in
political circles to be almost a disas-
ter.
During the weeks which the Irish
convention has been busy trying to
find a solution to the Irish problem,
to which he gave his life, Mr.. Red
Ilond exercised a great moderating
influence, and if, as dispatches from
Dublin say. there is again pros
pect of agreement, he must be given
a great measure of credit for this
state of affairs. In fact, since he took
over the leadership of the Irish Ma
tionalists, on the retirement Of Par
nell. Mr.. Redmond has been among
those Irishmen who fought for a
settlement of the Home Rule question
by Parliamentary means, and when
the act granting seif-government
finally became a law in 1914, 1t was
a great triumph for him and received
recognition throughout the world, as
was shown by the thousands Of con-
gratuIatory kilograms he received.
The war prevented the act from
being put into force and while this
was a great disappointment to Mr..
Redmond. he, nevertheless, stood by
the English government, or, as he
would have preferred to say, the
English democracy" in which he had
great confidence and which he al
ways said would see that Ireland re-
ceiyed Justice. His speech in the
house Of commons supporting the
governments decision to enter the
war because of the invasion of
Belgium by Germany, greatly en-
HANGED his reputation iHS England
where he had always been popular
and respected, and gained many con-
verts for the cause which he cham
pioned.
