Profiteering In Siberia.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press) has reached its apex as "a fine art" throughout cent raf and western Siberia where no speculator is satisfied with less than 100 per cent profit and often gouEes a $ much as 1000 per cent out of his hapless customers, according to stories coming in here.
 These traders. many of them snug giers, who. taking advantage of the shortage of everything except the pro- ducts of the country, the unstable value of the ruble and the difficulties through with few pairs of shoes, particularly ladies' shoes, 9 few bolts of silk or dress goods. a few cases of timed fruits, or in fact, any foreign made product whatsoever, reap rich harvests.
 Before a regular express service was inaugurated the many special trains coming up from Vladivostok and Har- bin were the targets of the specula- tors. By connivance with the porters and unknown to the other occupants, nearly every special brought in it's complement of merchandise slowed away under berths and in obscure cor ners to be handed over upon arrival at some designated point.
 The Red Cross has it's difficulties sidestepping the designs>of this gentry from time to time, On one occasion, it is related a Red Cross representa- =

They had passed the customs free of charge, be- ing consigned to the Red Cross, and it was the owners eXceptation that the extra 900 would be delivered to him. They were all bundled off to Dairen.
 The speculators' day will have gone. however. it is said, soon the tra ff1c is read justed under the Inter allied Committee mana cement and legitimate commerce is resumed. Many of the abuses have already been cor rected through closer government in spection at the frontiers but in spite

But Mark was adamant. was so upset that I totally forgot what had como for and slunk out feeling like a crirn- inal as I passed the girl, who hadn't a job and didn't know 1t. didn't quite dare to go anywhere else till I had given my jinx time to wear off, so concluded to have luncheon. ordered cold meat and potato salad and when the waiter set down firmly before me some stea ming sausage and boiled cabbage, I expostulated mildly He insisted hotly that it was sausage and cabbage I wanted because that was what I got-and in about two seconos the captain swooped down upon him and told him to get his pay and quit I almost clung to the captains arm in my horror.

 Somehow, after that I didn't, want any lunch. The thing was getting on my nerves. I was afraid to buy any thing. speak to any one, do anything. A whole world populated with dis charged victims of my innocent presence was too much to bear, so went home early. I found my wife turning around in front of the mirror in a new gown and when she asked me how 1 liked it l was obliged truth fully to say it was an outrage as garnent-whereupon the dressmaker in the next room, of whose presence was unaware, packed up her scissors and thimble and left on the spot.

PLAYGROUND WORK.

The people Of this city have good reason to be interested in the display of work accomplished by the chit drsn Of the city at the playgrounds the past summer. IL is plainly evi- dent that the children are interested in their work and that they are re ceiving instructions that will be of benefit to them through life
 No one can overlook the fact that the Fairgrounds association is rem dering an invalua bIe service in main taininE the grounds and providing for efficient supervision. This meets 2 need that had not previously been taken care of until this work was un- dertsken- It keeps the children off the streets during the greater part of the day away from the liability of acci- dents away from different kinds of mischief they might otherwise en- gage in for lack of other means of en- tertainment and under the influence of those who arc interested in their welfare, and where their minds will be properly occupied.
 And not the least important in connection herewith is the instruction in useful occupa tions. The work that has been done during the season shows not only the interest that the children are taking therein and the careful and painstaking attention gwen 10 II by the teachers, but it can not fail to be appreciated what this IS all going to mean in the future This is particularly true of the sew ing and there is no reason for doubt but what many of these children who have received the instructions in need levork will look back many times in the future with thanksgiving for inc inspiration and help that tbey re- Ceived at the playgrounds
 The playground efforts have shown their worth many times over and they should increase as the years pass along.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Germanys New Navy.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press)--An account of Germany's new navy" is given in Mfttschiffs, a Ger man naval periodical, a recent issue of which has reached American head ; quarters. descrihes the Iron torpedo boat and Half ffotillas both of which have been organized since the armis- tice.
 1he iron 1otilla" consists of twelve torpedo boats, which have been en- gagged in maintaining order on the western coast .eof Germany, says the paper. Some of the vessels have been used do several occasions for poiicing 2 the port of Hamburg, such as guard ing Allied food shipments to the Czecho- Slovaks and similar work. during periods of disorder. The flotil- Ia has it's headquarters at Wilhelms- haven. A landing corps of about 36o men is distributed among the twelve boats. each of which has a platoon of thirty commanded by a naval 1ieuten- ant. The clothing and arms of mem bers of this landing corps are the same as in the infantry.
 The Hac flotilla is supposed to be doing similar duty on the Baltic coast near the Russian boundary. with head quarters in Koenigsberg. The f7otilla has been handicapped recently by de- lay in obtaining equipment needed to put the vessels in commission. The boats are armed with machine guns

PRO-G ERM AN!SM.

After the experience this country has had with pro-Germanism it may be surprising that it is yet to be found. and still it ought to be realized that it is not going to be put down without giving it constant and thor ough attention. How this problem still exists is to be realized from the fact that the teachers of one county in In- diana have been told by a supervisor of instruction that an effort to con- tinue German the language of comnunica ton was still being made in that state. What the situation is there is plainly disclosed by the statement to the effect that '. NJ. C. A. worker was obliged to take an interpreter with him because the Eng fish language was spoken by so flew.
 The reason for this is that it has been tolerated in the past. Where the English language should have been made the language of communication German was allowed to take it's place. Consequently all that is known of American ideals and customs is spread by the German language.
 Indiana and other communities sim ilarly handicapped have been asleep too long. But regardless of the req sons for the situation in the past it should not be overlooked in the case of Indiana that it is now against the law. Realizing the predicament the Indiana legIsl4ture passed q law for bidding the use of the German lan- guage in any public, private or pa rochiaI school under penalty of 2 fine ranging from s25 to s100 and the pos sibility of a six months jail sentence It is also against the law to teach German in commissioned high schools
 The law is useless unless it is en- forced and the indications are that are those who do not intend to re- spcct it unless made to. Seeing the r eCessity of passing. such laws In diana should recognize its duty in up- holding them as long they exist, even though it seems rather harsh to forbid those in high school to study German if they desire the same as any ct,er foreign language.

ADVISING cARRANzA.

Carranza has never been one who was inclined to take advice. He has insisted in a stubborn manner that he was able to look out for himself and country and has always. been in elined to turn a cold shoulder on eff forts undertaken for his own good, even to placing Instructions in the way of their Accomplishment.
 It will therefore be interesting to note what reception the advice given him by General Alvarado receives. Certainly if Carranza is ever inclined to listen to the counsel of another it would seem that he could not dis regard that of members of his cabinet, among whom Alvarado is numbered: He recognizes the trouble at. the present time. He declares that there are 100 men being killed every day in the fighting between the federal and rebel forces and shows that de- plorable conditions continue to prevail in Mexico City where he alleges 5000 children die each year because of inn proper food and clothing.
 The Mexican constitution he sets forth contains radical provisions that are unavoidable and must be changed. It is "a despotic. corrupting and ul tra personal regime without responsi bility or legal restraint" under which the country IS llNlnS- CerldlniS there is need for a change when he says that justice is sold to the highest bid der.
 For the overcoming of the situa- ton General Alvarado calls for the Pa cification Of the country. organi zation of the army. settlement of in ternaI and foreign debts, settlement of claims for dama ees caused by the the adjustment of the pc troleum problem. organization of na- tional railways and settlement of the banking question" It is a bit sur prisins under the circumstances that should consider Carranza the man to accomplish these things in view of his known inclinations and the conditions he is responsible for.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

This constant increase in the kill ingS effected by the. automobile raises one arresting question: When are we going to call a halt? No one will care to argue that ali of the accidents and deaths being caused by the mod ernized successor to the horseless buggy are absolutely preventa ble: doubtless there is q price for progress so called. which we must pay On the other hand it would be rash debater who would contend that the causes of a vast majority of these shocking ac- cidents are not prcventable. New Haven Journal-Courier.
 In the dispatch sent out from Hart ford with the (State Conlptroller's re- port, reference was made to the fact that it cost the state s19955894 to run it's legislature. That statement is not half the story, When Massachusetts 10 the north spends $500, 900 for a fool constitutional convention in one year and more than that for it's legislature; well may Connecticut be on good terms with itself as it realizes that only $206,- 900 will be spent in two years for law making. Massachusetts will have an other big bill for next year. New York spent s2,000,0 0G0 in single year. - Middletown Press.
 The war saw not only an imitation of money, but m imitation of unskilled and common labor.
 The munition factories and ship yards bid for workers at almost any price. Incompetent youngsters, slack CTS seeking to avoid the draft, as well as skilled workers entered such fac tories and yards and received for their labor unheard of wages.
 Today in many instances it is these same incompetents who are shouting most loudly for big payng jobs. They cannot realize that the war placed a value on their labor which peace times could never afford.
 Youngsters receiving 50 cents per hour for the comnonest knd of man ual labor during the war are discon- tented now because their labor is

 '.So I approached Mir. Freeze blight ly, produced the letter and opened the conversation. Mir. Freeze was a thin individual with whiskers and a dys- peptio disposition and when he read the letter he went twenty feet up in to the air. All was explained, he told me vehementIy. No wonder young MT. Snow and the equally young Mir. Frost were doing absolutely no bus mess for him they hadn't earned their salt for a month and all be- cause they were pushing their own en- terprise on the side and neglecting their employer-very well, the end of the week for thenl-they were dis charged, No apologies. sir-he was extremely obliged for the inforrna tion.
