 HAVE STARTED
All the Schools on Douglas Island Are in Session With Good
 Attendance

The Douglas Public school started on last Tuesday morning with eight teachers on hand and am initial on- roIJment of 131 pupils which is very few less than was enrolled last year. It Is thought that tho en- rollmcnt will be larger when an the pupils return to town from Che dif- fercnt places that they have boon working Che past summer.
 One less instructor is being used this year than last, the work being divided among the various teachers both in Che grades and in the High school.

 Miss Irene Robinson first grade. 1G scholars.
 Miss Beatrice Mcleod. second grade. 23 scholars

GREAT SALVAGE
 UNDERTAKING
U. S. Will Build Plant to Relint Great Guns in Use in France
 at Great Cost

The War Department authorizes thc following from thc Ordnance De- pertinent;
 The Chief of Ordnance has approv- ed plans for thc manufacture or Che machiuo-tool equipment which Che United States government will i'm stall iu Franco for the refining of tho heavy railroad guns In use by thc American forces
 The project for this refining plant Is one of the largest undertaken by thc Ordnance Department and calls for Che expenditure of between $25,- O0O. .OOO and S3O.OOO,OOO. In size it win be comparable Co the Krupp Works at Essen, Germany. The ma chine tools alone will cost between $12.OOO.OOO and $15.OOO,OOO, and win consist of gun-boriug lathcs, cn- zine lathcs, riniug machines and grinders.
 A large number of these gun-bor- ing lathcs are designed for lO2- inch swing. To make these lathes there is under construction at one of thc machine tool factories In this country a giant plauor, the base or which is SO long Che curvature Of the earth has Co be taken into consider atiou iu building it. lt Is 900 feet long nearly tho length Of the Washington Monument or the battle ship North Dakota. This plauer alone is to cost $45O,OOO. and the lathcs it win holp make will approN- mate. In the aggregate, $G,5OO.OOO. Prior Co Che war thc longest plancr ever built was not more than SO feet so long stretch of ground will this grcatcr ono cover, that in order that its two ends might bc in perfect alignment, a correction had Co be made iu Che design Co take care of Che carth's curvature.
 In addition Go the machine tool equipment required. the refining plant u France win include oxten- siyc shrlukagc pits. giant 2iO-ton travelling cranes, an electric gener- auug plant of several thousand kilo- wat capacity. a large battery of boil CTS Co generate horsepower required in operating tho factory and suit able buildings to house Che entire cs- tablishment.
 Engineering work by tho Ordnance Department in the development Of th entire project was completed in less than 3O days after its inception In that period Che plans have been reviewed and approved by the Chief Of Ordnance. Che project has been passed by Che Clearance Committee or the War Industries Board ucgo- tations huvc been concluded with machine tool builders. and procure mont orders have actually been is- sued for a production Of the gum boring Iathcs ot various types re- quircd
 The refining of big guns is one Of the biggest salvage operations in Che var Several times the value or these big guns is saved by this pro- cess Owing to the tremendous heat generated by the charge when tho big guns are fired, their accuracy can not bo assured after a few hun dred shots unless they arc refined, notwithstanding the fact that an other parts except the lining arc practically os good as new Whom a gun is brought into tho shop to be refined tho old lining is ! first bored out. The jacket is then heated. @ new lining inserted and th gun then dipped into shrinkagc ! pit. which shrinks the jacket tightly around the new lining This process may be repeated several times with every gun.

New-York tribune., 1918-03-14

OF dividends would get them no longer,
though they might make handsome
killing when the municipality acquired
thelr particular corporation. Some
cynlcs have suggested lately that-on
such basis--it might not be difficult to
ind a good many advocates for munich
pal ownership south of Fulton Street.
And when the corporations were all un-
der city control, and no further use ex-
listed for the profits, it might still prove
impossible to reduce rates to the public
because of the great number of deserv-
ing Democrats-distrct leaders and
others-who would be necessary at fat
salaries to administer the complicated
affairs of these concerns. On such a
basis numerous advocates of municipal
ownership might be expected to spring
up in East Fourteenth Street overnight.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-14
DR.. Muck

Major Henry l.. Higginson deserves
every consideration from the people not
merely of New York, but of the whole
country. His steadfast support of the
Boston Symphony has given us one of
the three or four premier orchestras of
the world.
For this we stand deeply in his debt
We wish there were more rich men like
him.
Nor could there be any doubt or qucs-
ton that Maj jor Higginson is as loyal
supporter Of the government as any
one in the United States. But in his
natural desire to maintain intact an
organization which has cost him so much
and so many years to develop we think
he a little forgets.
We are at war. Some time, some dav,
when our dead come home, this fact will
become to our people an overshadowing
reality To Major Higginson as we'll.
We are at war, and at war with the
German nation and the German people.
DR.. Muck is German born, German bred
oHu VI Intensely NeIlldn SyHlpdUIloS.
And it is no secret that his contempt
for Americans, and especially the peo-
pie of New York, is something engag-
ing and profound.
Had DR.. Muck little more sensitive
ness, a little less willingness to accept
American dollars he would not be here.
He has no purpose here to remain, no
desire to become one of the thousands of
loyal German-Americans.
His home is in Germany; thither he
will soon return and there, until the
German people have absolved themselves
before the world, we beg leave to think
he should remain.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-14
Via Odessa

German troops have occupied Odes-
sa," is the eXulting news from Berlin.
Odessa is in what was Russia. 1t was
peace which the Russians were forced to
sign without discussions but neither was
Petrograd, and evidently the Germans
intend to occupy reTograd at their
leisure. The population is deserting it.
Probably the German justification will
be that many Russians were dissatisfied
with the German peace terms and spoke
harshly Of them.
And now the King of Barbarians
(Scourge of God) is in new role
A little while ago he was Attila, lead
ing the Huns across the Balkan PENN
sula. Nothing was new except the time.
Now he is Genghis Khan, the Tartar,
whose deeds of savagery are the dismay
thing so stark and helpless that the world
cannot look at it without horror, and of
Rumania a dark tenement; and Odessa
is his gateway to the tabled East. Genghis
Khan was greater than Attila, for where
as Attila's empire extended only from
the North Sea to the boundaries of China,
that Of the other included even China
and extended as far as the barbaric
imagination would stretch, to a place
where houses were rooted with pure gold
and people quaffed precious, tingling
wine from goblets hewn from solid dia-
monds.
So the Kaiser thinks of the East and OF
India. He is morally mad and otherwise
fantastic So are the German people,
for they believe him. Cutting the Cor
ridor to Constantinople," via Attila's high
way, was pictured to them as the begin
ming of march overland to an Eastern
empire, and they were dazzled. Open
ing a "direct free route to Persia and
Afghanstan" is intended to dazzle them
again. Afghanistan is over against
India, and India is the jewel without
price IN Great Britain's Giadem. If the
Huns could seize India, Englands en-
pire would totter. 1t is easy enough to
draw such an achievement on the map
Practically, it is thing almost impos-
sible to imagine. But we can imagine
the Germans dreaming it. German
dreams are naive and grotesque
The danger, as we think, is not that
the Germans will ever threaten India
seriously, but that they will set Asia
afre. That is what Japan fears.
Asia is.a human mine field and tho
German is diabolcal.
