DENIES GIRLS
 ARE IN PERIL

New York. Jan. 31-The statement by Mrs Edward shearson, a worker for the Fatherless Children of France Society, that the suicide of the wealthy Cromwell twin sisters, when they leaped into. the Garonne river from the steamship Lorraine, is a warning to mothers to bring back from France their young daughters has stirred up a storm of comment from all quarters of the country, es- pecially from the various war relief organizations. Mrs. Shearson de- clared that Europe is no place at this time for young and gently reared girls" and that war relief organiza- tons Go not need the services of the younger women any longer.
 A. W. Staub, assistant general man. ager of the American Red Cross, would not express an opinion as to whether Mrs. Shearson was right, de- claring only that she was entitled to her opinion, but that she was not au- thorized to speak ofsscially for the Red Cross. He said:
 'rWe have many young women abroad who will remain there a long time AS matter of fact girl cannot go abroad for the Red Cross unless she is over twenty-five. Mrs. Shearson is not speaking for the Red Cross"
 While many opinions were expressed on Mrs. Shearson's statement, most of the war workers interviewed agreed with her. Some of those who did not think that the suicide of Gladys and Dorothea Cromwell should be used as the basis of a plea for the return of the young girl war workers from France were Commander Evangeline Booth, of the Salvation Army; Dr. A. Tucker, of the Y. W. C. A. Social Nor ality Bureau, and Miss Evehne w Brainerd, of the Women's Diviison ot the War Personal Board of the Y w. c. A.
 Among those who either expressed hearty agreement with Mrs. Shear sons view, or who declared their or ganizaztions only sent abroad women of more than 25 years of age, werea Mrs. John R. Mott, wife of Dr. Mott, who is chairman of the Overseas Com
 nittee of the Y. W. c. IA, and Mrs. William Adams Brown, president of the National Woman's Land Army and chairman of finance of the Y. W. c. A

STATE AID TO
 CONN. COMP ANY
To Amount of $2,OO0,0 ,000- Cost of Investigating
 City $3,OO0.

Hartford. Jan. 31.-State aid to the amount of s2,OOO.O0O to the Connecti- cut Co. was proposed in a till offered "by request" and unsponsored in the general appropriation body today. The public utilities commission would first give hearings to determine the need and to decide the payments of the sums as required.
 The amendment to the Bridgeport Taxpayers league bill for Inquiry into affairs of that city, and offered in the Senate, would limit the expense of in vestigation of $3,O0O to be paid by the city. Senator Bartlett said that it was thought advisable to have a commit tee determine if such an inquiry was warranted, and upon his suggestion to raise a committee to make the inquiry the amendment proposal went to the cities and boroughs committee for 8 report
 A Suffrage resolution by Senator Dillon would give women the statu- tory rights to vote for presidential and vice presidential electors in 1920.
 Senator Hemenway proposed in a bill to have the state own and main tain an executive mansion, without cost and including servants for the governors use. A committee on gov ernor's house would be raised to re- port on a site and recommendation for a residence at the next session. A tax bill would eliminate the four and one-haf per cent tax on gross earn ings of street railway companies and another would increase taxes on te1e- phone companies.
 The Shore Line Electric Railway Company petitioned for a charter amendment to permit it to lease or sell to the Eastern Connecticut Pow CT Company it's rights to make, sell and distribute electricity.
 There were petitions to revise the laws of taxation of water, gas, electri- city and power companies, the New Britain Gas Light Company being one of the petitioners.
 A resolution would have the state give formal expression of gratitude to its men who have served in the war.
 A state farm for dependent persons was proposed by MT. Meech, of Mid dletown.
 MT. Fitzhenry of Waterbury, offer ed an excise bill fixing one and one half per cent of alcohol in beverages as the definition of intoxicating and spirituous liquors, placing the burden of proof on the persons having such liquor on their person and giving the right of search of a person for liquor. MT. Sherwood, of Westport proposed to raise club licenses to $750 each, with the regulations of a saloon to govern them.

The American attitude, it is de- clared, is very positive, and In case she Powers insisted upon dividing the colonies among them might be such elhat 1t would probably affect the f'Nhole future of the Peace Confer ence. President Wilson, it is un- derstood, still holds to his original opinion that 1t would be scarcely
 worth while for the United States to Es,oarticipate in the nego tations unless a League of Nations, with the accom-. t.panying principles, were provided for an making peace
 The general public probably will ,.lot see 8 full report of Wednesdays s s4,ession of the Supreme Council. which will probably have historic sig faaif1cance, until after the treaty of peace is signed, if at all.

Principal features of MT. WarfeIds S program follow:
 Guarantee by act of congress of a minimum rate of return on property investment, made effective through proper rates, ''in order that the se- curites of the railroads may be sta bilized and their credit established on 8 basis necessary to secure the money to provide to the shippers and the travelling public adequate facili- ties and service"
 Establishment of a fund, admins tered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, o6 excess earnings above the fixed rate of return, one-third of this to go to the railroad company, one-third to employees as profit sharing, and one-third to a reserve account.
 Creation of a Federal corporation operating without profit to the rail- roads with the nine Interstate Com merce Commissioners and eight rail road men as trustees, to finance pur- chase of equipment from the railroad duInlH1SlTdllOn, lO dSSlSL III IAzAd41C1us | the roads during the period of re turn to private operation and to con | tinue as a permanent means for mob | ilizing and purchasing equipment t 1 be leased to railroads, to put int 1 effect joint use of terminals, unifCa, | ton of facilities, re-routing of freigh i by pooling or otherwise and to con tinue other reforms found advisable during government management
 Federal regulation of rates by the | Interstate Commerce Commission as already established co ordinating with six regional commissions to bt created, the Interstate Commerce l Commission to be the final court O ] appeals on rate matters.
Republican farmer., 1919-01-31

Continuation of existing rate in- comes, composed of railroad men and shippers, to pass on rates proposed by either railroads or shippers, before these are submitted to the regional commissions.
 State commissions to continue to regulate intra-state rates. but in proper relationship with Interstate rates determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Wage disputes to be conciliated if possible by the regional commissions, or, failing in this by appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission, findings not to be compulsory un- less mutually agreed before hand" and future issues of securities to be supervised by regional commissions and the Interstate Commerce Com mission.
 | MT. Warfied presented opinions from number of lawyers, including Elihu Root, questioning the constitu- tionalily of a law requiring railroad companies to incorporate under Fed eral charters and forbidding state cor porations to do interstate business. He declared that railroad security holders in the past had not been prop erly protected owing to development of @ hostile state of mind, resulting in too little consideration by legisla- tive bodies or the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 We urge,' said Mir. WarfieId, ''tflat legislation be enacted early in the 21 months allowed by the Federal con- trol act to prepare for their return, since each month of continued so- called unification and diversion of traffic takes the railroads further. away from normal methods for meet ing the business requirements of re- construction. They are fast losing their individuality"

SITUATION IN

 VERY SERIOUS
Spreading to Industrial Els tablishments - Signs of
 Coming Disorders.
MUST ESTABLISH
 UNION AUTHORITY
Several Injured in Glasgow When Police Charged
 Mob of Strikers.

London, Jan. 31.---There was still no prospect early today of any bet terment in the labor situation in the United Kingdom. If anything, the situation, both at Glasgow and Bel fast, has become more serious, par ticularly in the latter city. The strike movement is spreading to the indus trial establishments and there are un- doubted signs of coming disorders which may entail the proclamation of martial law.
 The seriousness of the situation is not being ignored by the government. It was the subject for discussion at a special meeting of the cabinet, held yesterday, while the board of trade also is active in an effort to bring about settlements.
 The government feels that any gov ernmental interference now would be unwise and perhaps dangerous. The strike movements are local and against the advice of the respective trade unions. Moreover, there is inf nite variety in the various demands advanced in the different localities, while many of the alleged grievances are of a triffing character, such as concerning intervals Of few minutes for lunch. It appears to be generally | believed that the absence of strike | pay for the men will soon bring about the collapse of the movement. | The problem for the governmen ministers is how to re-establish the authority of the trade unions and as l sist in the expansion of machinery O. corciliation so as to enable each trade to settle it's own disputes. It is fur 1 ther considered that the strikes ar, largely promoted by 9 few agitator, with political motives. Hence. tn, government is determined to limit it action to the prevention of intimida ton and the maintenance of order. l Most of the employers assert tha they will refuse to negotiate until th men resume work.
 Thus far the railways have not beer affected. The board of trade has de cided to grant an eight-hour day t, the railway men from February 1, bu here again there is dfssatisfactio, among the railway employees concern ing the question of meal times beinl included in the eight-hour period. Furthermore, a meeting yesterda
 of representatives of 75,000 railwa
 clerks and station masters, held il
 London, developed talk of a strik
 because the board of trade refuse
 to recognize these mems union. The
 will hold another meeting Sunday t l decide upon their. course of ac | ton.

DECIDE ON ARMY
 OF 5OO,O0O MEN

{ Washington, Jan 31.---An army of H)OOO0 men was unanim ously decided Dn today by the House Military Com Mdttee as the basis for determining
 kle appropriation for army pay for sN1e year beginning next July. Com Aht1ee members said the number was k knpected to be the average force dur klg the year.
 \ dIhe decision marked the beginning EF the committees work of framing ethe annual military appropriation bill. Mfenbers said it has no bearing on Irermanent future military policy and hhat while pay was figured for & half million men, it did not follow that ap- npropriationg for various branches of lRervice would be such as to provide
 for an army actually organized as a hermanent force of that size.

4. Lack of interest among the Plant

Of time, say Is or 20 years. this indiffer-
ence usually changes, and | venture to
predict that the same will be true OF ST..
CrOiX. The indifference seems to be due
to Farmers getting into a rut in their
work and blindly following the routine
methods of Agriculture handed to chem
by their Fathers. They resent the idea
that a mere Man of Science with little
practical knowledge of farming, should
presume to teach them anything concern
ing the business which hey have b.cA
practising all their lives. 10 keep Plant
ers out OF this rut requires the stimuId,-

generation Of Farmers who have had this
Scientific education realise fully the hene-
fits OF Experiment Station work and in
the States, they apply to their Experi
ment Stations in all thei difficulties. 1t
has taken many years however to accom-
plish this result. TO get the same result
in ST. CroiX, an Agricultural School
where Science is taught ought TO
be established, so that the younger
generation may grow up with minds
broadened and wit sharpened.
5, With regard TO S. c. 1874 Cane.
Planters do appear for the most part 10
see already the advantages of planting
this cane, but they cannot yet get the
cuttings, as there is not sufficient in the
Island to supply them. Many Planters
and some SQuatters, now have small
areas OF This cane on their Esta es and
will doubtless continue TO propagate it.
The work Of raising new varieties of
cane is slow an9 arduous, and for one
success there are hundreds Of failures.
nevertheless the hundreds must all be
propagaIed, reaped, weighed, analysed.
and selected for years, before the final
judgement can be pronounced on them.

l The Annual Reports issued in past
years were always read and discussed
at meetings Of the Agricultural Society
OF St. Croix, a Society which should
never have been discontinued. The dis
continuance Of the Society occurred
about three years ago when Iabour agi-
tation seemed to make Planters oblivi-
Gus to all other interests.
The meetings at which the Reports
were read were always duly advertised
in the local papers and all interested
we're cordially invited to attend whether
members of the Agricultural Society or
not. The Reports were printed in Co.
pe%nhagen and copies were distributed
about a year after being read. The
copies we're sent to all Members of the
Legislative Council, to all Planters that
we thought even remotely likely to read
them and to all applying for them.
