ISLAND OF HELGOLAND
TO BE CUT TO WATER
EDGE; HUN SHIPS SUNK

London, Feb. 22.-The proposal
TO sink the German warships now
in the Scapa Flow, it is generally
stated in the English papers, is VIZ
tually sure to be accepted by the
peace conference. 1t is also pro,
posed, it is said, to raze the island
OF Helgoland to the water level. Ac-
cording to the Mail, both proposals,
which originated in the British ad-
miralty. will be discussed in Paris
in the next few days.
The destruction OF the ships IS
advocated on the ground that their
giving to the victors would cause
heart-burnings. The vessels, now
numbering FIVE battle cruisers, eleY-
en- battleships, eight cruisers and
6tty destroyers, probably will be es-
corted by allied fleets to a deep
part of the Atlantic westward OF
the Scapa Flow and there sunk.
The question of dealing with the
surrendered submarines is whether
they will be sunk or preserved.
After destroying the Notifications
at Kiel, assuming the British con-
tention for this action is accepted,
the canal, the Mail says, could be
handed over to a private company
on the same lines as the Suez canal

Up TO the People

Senator l.. II. Morton OF Dun
can declared that it was not a
question so much OF the merit OF
the measure a., drawn as i was a
matter OF putting it up to the peo-
pie to declare whether they want
such a law You men will surely
not let the impression go out that
the people OF this state haven't
sense enough to determine how
they shall be governed said Nor
ton. There is a dethroncd kaiser
in Holland who believed that;
there was a car of Russia who be-
leyed that his people didn't have
sense enough to govern them
selves, You viii be putting your
selves in mighty sorry light il
YOU advertise to the people of this
state that YOU haven't confidence
enough in their intelligence to let
them decide whether they want
this kind of a law"
