For his part, Mr.. Ford will continue
as the active head Of . great and nec-

this time has much more than normal
uses. His place there could not be
easily filed. He is mater builder.
In the Senate, on the other hand, he

just north Of Soissons the Germans
have the advantage Of . large wooded
area behind them. The forest of st.
Gobain, which in the southern part is
known as the forest Of Coucy, affords
shelter for some Of the most powerful
Of German artillery pieces. 1t is be-
ieved that the long range guns that
sheHed Paris were located there. The
French line is now approaching this
position, which would probably be most
difficult TO carry by direct attack. The
advance east of Nesle, which one re-
port indicates had approached Ham. is
calculated to render the German hold
ing of these forest positions most dan
gerous. Foch is doubtless seeking to
flank this stronghold, while continuing
frontal pressure against it.
The fact that there is no let-up in
the allied offensive is most encourag-
ing. as it denotes the possession by
Foch OF abundant mobile reserves. In
this connection it is significant that
American troops have made their ap-
pcarance in the fighting north of 'Sois-
sons. Their injection into the action
was a total surprise to the Germans.
They were taken up to the lines under
cover of night and thrown into the
fight at critical time. This signifies
that Foch is using his reserves for the
relief of fighting units that have be-
come fatigued. 1t is not sign of fail
ing man power. for the allied losses
throughout the combats west of Sois-
sons have been remarkably small.

The Michigan Result.

It was not to be expected that the
republicans Of Michigan would permit
the President to name their candidate
for senator. They have about hun
dred thousand the best Of the poll,
and some highly competent men. The
man they have nominated is worthy Of
the Office he seeks. He knows politics,
and something of national life. In the
Senate-and he is likely to reach goal
he should take high rank, and measure
up to the senatorial traditions of the
state. Mr.. Newberry possesses ability
and high character.
The Presidents power was shown on
the other-his own-side of the fence.
At his instance the democrats accepted
Henry Ford as their candidate. They
did not inquire into Mr.. Ford's poll
tics. They ignored his record N q
pacidst. They probably gave small
heed to his position as q captain Of
industry. What Influenced them was
the fact that the President desired
Mr.. Ford's nomination. As they rea-
soned, If Mr.. Ford was good enough
for the President he was good enough
for them.
Neither Mr.. Newberry nor Mr.. Ford
made a primary campaign. Both sub
mitted their claims without argument.
The result Of the primary, therefore,
represents no excitement among the
electorate, but quiet, thoughtful can

QUINCY.

The Quincy High School closed Fri
day afternoon for the Christmas holi-
days. The different grades had Christ
mas programs, a few of them had
Christmas trees and the Home Econ
omics Department under the manage
ment of Mrs. Sylvia Kinney Lambert
has a splendid exhibit of the work ac-
complished during the fall term. All
CO the dresses, knitting bags and fancy
articles were beautifully made. The
room was attractive with holly and
the visitors were highly pleased with
the work accomplished.
The Woman's Club met Thursday
afternoon and had as it's guest DR..
Grace Whitford of Ozona, Florida
who is chairman of the Child's Bureau
of the State Health Department.
DR.. Whitford made a splendid adj
dress to interested listeners, and at
the close of her remarks was pre-
scented with q magnificent bouquet of
flowers in the club colors. While in
Quincy, DIR. Whitford was shown
many attentions and was invited to
address the pupils of the Quincy High
School. She left Friday for River
Junction to speak to the Woman's
Club at that place and to visit the
Insane Asylum at Chattahoochee.
Syrup making is progressing rapid
ly in the county and the yield is
abundant and of very fine quality.
Continued rains and scarcity of labor
have caused this important crop to
be later than usual in the making.

WILL PUNISH HUNS
|INTElhED DURIN 6
WAR;; NUMBER 5000
NJ. e. A. Specially

Washington, Dec. l8.-The u. s.
government will not permit the 5000
enemy aliens now detained in intern
ment camps to be dumped back scot
free into civilian life after the peace
treaty is signed.
The most dangerous will be deport-
ed; others will be prosecuted for Of
lenses against the government, and
some, considered comparatively harm
less, may be given freedom.
This much information has been
gained through an assault on the walls
Of silence which surrounds the de-
partment Of justice.
An official Of the department has
said:
Will Get Justice.
1.-THE department & justice is de-
voting its utmost energies to the
question Of what to do with interned
Germans after the peace treaty is
signed No definite program has been
formulated"
The fact was emphasized, however,
that the governments power to hold
enemy aliens in internment camps au-
tomatically expires when the peace
treaty is ratified by the senate. The
statute under which the department
acts empowers its to intern enemy
subjects only for the duration OF the
war.
Therefore new legislative or execu-
tive action will be necessary or the
department will be forced to turn
loose the interned Germans after the
war officially ends. This action may
come in one of three ways:
1. By q decision of the peace con-
ference relative to the disposition Of
interned enemy subjects, which, when
incorporated in the peace treaty and
ratified by the senate, becomes part
of the law Of the land to signatory
powers.
2. By the passage by congress of a
law designating what shall be done
with "The Hun Within
8. By proclamation of the presi-
dent.
1t is considered most likely that the
first course will be adopted, and that
the peace congress will make laws fol
all the belligerent governments d.
recting what shall be done with in
| termed persons.

Will Kaiser Try
Suicide Again?

New York, Dec, Potts quite like
ly the kaiser did. reported, try sui

again.
Such is the scientific view.
Psychologists and alienists say an
epidemic of suicide IL Germany is not
unlikely.
pie of other nations to self-destruc-
ton.
The suicide rates for Prussia and
Saxony are the highest in the world.
The average rate of self-murders in
Berlin for the past five years is 55.6.
compared with 16.9 for New York and
Ito for London. Germany has the
most appalling child suicide rate in
the world.
Professor Enrfco Morsellf, distin-
guished Italian authority, in his work
on Suicide expressed this conclu-
sion:
1.-THE highest suicide rates are given
by countries of German race, anfs
the two stocks, German and Scandi-
navian, divide this supremacy. The
center of the purest German stocks is
Saxony, the old and powerful land of
the Teutons. and it presents very
high average. Equally great is the
proportion in Lower Austria and
Salisbury, which are almost pure
German; in the Saxon circles and in
those Of Liegnitz, Potsdam, Merse-
burg and Madgeburg Of Prussia; In
the German cantons of Switzerland
and other places in which the German
element prevails. The suicidal
tendency is much smaller in the An
glo-Saxon stock"
NJ. L. Jacobson of the u. S. Bureau
Of Statistics agrees that the 1errnans
rank first in suicide: the Scandinav-
ians second; the English and the
Latins tided for third and the Slavs
last.
George KEENAN,. the American au-
! thority, says: 'tThe extremely high
suicide rate of the German peoples
long ago attracted the attention of
European sociologists. Suicide IN
Germany is almost as common among
children as among grown people. Be
tween 1888 and 1908 there were 1925
suicides among the pupils of the pub
lie schools in Prussia alone. and most
of them were of boys and girls under
Is years of age. An investigation
made by the ministry of public in
struction showed that this prevalence
of suicide among children was due
to an inherent suicidal tendency in
the race"
The German school boy kills himself
when his lessons go wrong, when he
can't keep up with his class, when he
is punished-in other words, when he
doesn't win. In an analysis of sui
cides of 10 German school children.
Prof Gutenberg OF Berlin found that
nearly 400 were due either to fear OF
punishment or of humiliation, or in
ability to keep up with the schooi
work.

SENATE MAKES SLOW PROGRESS IN FIXING
 UP ITS AMENDMENTS
IaepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Slow progress was made by the senate today in disposing of amendments to the ad- ministration bill for war finance cor poration, but tonight leaders believed passage tomorrow was assured.
 With virtually all senators agreed re- garding necessity for the legislation, to afford government financial. assistance to war industries and control private security issues, an unexpected number of amendments proposed including several foreign banking committee members has delayed final action.
 An amendment adopted today pro- hibited directors of the corporation from participating in passing upon any matter of interest to themselves or any concern with which they are connected
 Virtually all important questions still in dispute went over for consideration. They include the authorization for the corporation to issue $4,000,000,000 in bonds, the clause creating a capital issues" committee to license security issues of S100,000 or more and the pro- visions for direct loans to railroads and public utilities, and advances to sav- ings banks. Amendments pending to the latter class propose extensions of the laws benefits to insurance con- panies and building and loan associa- | tions.
 Senator Owne, chairman of the | banking committee, late today offered substitute for the security licensing section, proposing that the capital is- sues" committee shall consist of five experts whose decisions shall be re- viewed by the federal reserve board upon appeal within thirty days. Mem bers of the banking committee held an informal conference and discussed fur ther amendments.
 During today's debate Senator Shoot of Utah, finance committee member. earnestly warned the senate that gov ernment financial aid to American in- dustry is imperative, because, he said the government virtually has oom- mandeered the money market for its war loans. Prolongation of the war he predicted, would result in script currency and imitation.
