zecticut senate is the first Legislative body in
the country to refuse endorsement of the
amendment. Looks as if the state of wooden

upper house.

The Accommodating NeighbOr.


Miss Lillian Johnson suffered severe shock
but injury last evening when her clothing
caught fire. The young lady, it seems. was
going to bed and in going over to set down
lighted candle on table her night gown be-
came ignited and the next minute it was a
mass of flames. She rushed from the house
and into the street, where James Riley, a
neighDor, who was passiAg, jerked of his coat
and wrapped it about her. The coat smothered
the fire and served her as a garment in which
to return to the house.
A lesson in the value of money and an ex-
ample OF how far your pennies will go is given
by the Salvation Army in New York, which has
made a collection of pennies for the citys poor,
pennies, if laid side by side would make a line
nearly two miles long. That's making your
pennies go pretty far, isn't it?
Because of ill-treatment and hardshps they

Finally there is a joker which would

to private hands.
bill for the leasing of these same
resources was passed by the house on
May %, 1918. This measure III. r. 3232)
is much fairer to the public interests
than the indefensibIe companion bill
passed by the senate.
On Dec IA, 1917, the senate passed
a bill IS. 1887 providing for the grant
ing OF franchises for waterpower on
navigable streams. 1t is substantially
the notorious and disreputable Shields
bill of the previous congress, which was
defeated by public condemnation. The
house did not approve it, but passed in
stead an entirely new bill, drawn by the
administration and covering waterpower
not only on navigable streams, but also
upon public lands and national forests,
and international waterways.
When this administration bifi was
first introduced l endorsed 1t heartily.
The house committee on water power
later wrote in a new clause, the most
vital in the bill, which was very prop
erly opposed by the president. Never
theless, OH Sept. 5, 1918, the measure
passed the house with this clause in
cluded.
The two sets Of bills are now in con-
ference. The senate measures both on
minerals and on waterpowers are worse
than the notorious Ballinger bills-more
hostile to the public interest and more
helpful to corporate monopolies. The
house bills are entirely different and
vastly better. AS you know, bill re-
ported from conference cannot be sub
stantially amended in the house or SEN
ate, but must be accepted or rejected as
it stands. The danger is that the bills
reported by the conference, both on min
erals and on waterpower, may be like
the senate bills, and unlike those of the
house, and that in the confusion of the
closing hours they may pass. The men
who, without regard to party, strive to
defeat the passage of the senate meas
ures, or any measures like them, will
deserve well Of their country.
The vast natural resources which are
still held by the people can be made to
supply q sound and solid basis for re
construction. Properly conserved and
administered, they might almost wipe out
our gigantic national debt. There is no
good reason why they should go to make
more millionaires instead of helping our
people to pay for the war.
Since the foregoing was written there h;
zen a conference agreement which Senat,
ittrlan, chairman of the senate managers

THE WAR CORRESPONDENCE,

Soldier boy in far OF France,
The France that wakes again,
And opens from their Garkened trance,
Her eyes, long closed in pain,
When will your ship in happy dance
Come skipping over the main,
Come dancing, rocking over the main,
Joytully bringing you home again?
Soldier boy, your words are here,
Your brave, bold words OF faith,
In God in life, in right, in cheer,
Your unseen singing wrath,
Your spirit-self, my boy, is here;
When will some ship, without seattle,
Come safely rocking over the main,
JoyfulIy bringing you home again.
Soldier boy, do you know that day
That you come home again
Those words from France, I'll lay away
With sorry little pain?
For our friendship short, must end the day
That you come over the main,
Safely, happily ending again
When your ship comes dancing over the
main.

atmosphere at the city hall? When you walk
in over there now three or four members of

commissioner tries to Quito the others in find

MAY BE ABANDONED
 NOW USELESS

GRETNA, England, Jan. 12 Gore spondence of the Associated Press) With the ending of hostilities the British government has on it's hands unused $5O,000,00O military chemical plant, the most important in the em pire, employing during the war 22,0OO persons. Apparently the government is undecided whether to try to util ize it or to abandon it. Economists say it is too inaccessible for private commercial use and that it's plants and machinery should be scrapped and the government should pocket the loss.
 The workers are rapidly being de. mobilized, and the population ot Gretna has shrunk to 5000. Recruit. ed as they were, from almost every branch of industry, many of them un- skilled and inexperienced, the absorp- tlon of these workers into the new economic order is giving no little con- cern to the government and to them selves, for economically Great Brit ain has not yet recovered her bal ance.
 The unemployed wOrkers-and Gretna is only one government &C., t1vity of many similarly. affected are taking the unemployed wage" provided by the government. and are making the most of it. As this wage is much less than they received while making shot and shell, being about $7.5O a week, there are fears that they will soon miss their high wages and in time may become the cause of industrial unrest. Some time must elapse while military plants are being transformed into factories that will produce the things needful in ordi- nary life
 The factory has a wonderful hous- ing system, with comfortable homes. churches and recreation halls for the workers, and in ordinary circum- stances it ought to be useful for many years to come. But the highly ex- plosive nature of the product neces- sitated the planting the industry out side the ordinary walks of commerce and manufacture. This makes it req sonably certain in the minds of econ omists that Gretna will have to be abandoned @4;

DRAFTED MEN OF HAWAII
 RETURN ORGANIZATIONS

HONOLULU, Jan. (by maiD.- - Hawaii is awaiting the demobiliza- ton of thousands of men who were iAducted into service here and re- paced the garrison of regulars. who were withdrawn to the mainland. There is no labor problem of conse. quence to be solved, as a large ma ]ority of the men are plantation ,a- borers, and their former employers the sugar planters, are more than anxious to have them back, having struggled with critical labor short age for many months.
 Many of the demobilized soldiers 1t is expected, will take advantage of the homesteading program now being carried out by the territorial govern. ment and will obtain sugar farms for themselves. Thousands of acres of sugar cane land, which for years past have been leased to plantations. are now being subdivided for homestead ing as the leases expire. The home steaders pay the appraised value of the lands to the territory, being given five years in which to establish them. selves.

 In the meantime the gold seekers were appealing for relief, and many lawless acts were being perpetrated on account of scarcity of food. After a voluminous correspondence between the secretary of war and the secre- tary of. the interior as to which de- partment should provide subsistence for MT. Jackson the affair was satis- factorily terminated. A large num- Der of the deer died from eating all falfa hay, the supply of reindeer moss having long since become exhausted A number of others died during ship ment to Alaska. The reindeer were shipped north on the steamship Semi nole, and'were taken overland to Cir. cle by Dr. Jackson.
 Upon the conclusion of the relief the deer were turned over to the na. tives, and immense herds have been raised from them. They are now in charge of the bureau of education.
