ELECTION POWER OF VIRGIN ISLANDS
LIKELY TO REMAIN SAME, is OPINION

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-Ther
Is apparently little chance Of the in
habitants Of the Virgin Islands, for
merly the Danish West Indies, be
ing granted further electoral power
than they possess at the present
time. This undoubtedly will be the
recommendation to congress of the
visiting committee, consisting OF
Senators Gay Of Louisiana, Kenyon
of Iowa and Edge of New Jersey,
and Representative Garrett of Tenn
essee, Campbell of Kansas and Tow
ner of Iowa, which has just returned
from an inspection trip.
1t is not considered likely that the
Virgin Islands will ever be much
more than an important naval STRAIT
egic base, which is the reason why
the United States bought them from
Denmark.
The trip of the congressional com
mittee was made at the request Of
some residents of the Islands, and
also because the navy department
officials desired it, There had been
some agitation in favor of the United
States giving the Virgin Islanders
what they called civil government"
but, according to Representative FL
mis- j. Garrett, they already possess
this. They are now in possession
of all the franchise privileges grant |
ed by Denmark which includes two
elected legislative councils, one for
the island of st. Criox and the other |
for the island of st. John and ST. !
Thomas. These are still in exist |
ance, an American admiral succeed
ing the Danish governor as the inn
mediate ruling power These cuon-
ellis attend to revenue raising, the !
judiciary and etc, their acts being
subject to the approval of the gov
ernor, of course.
AS Mr. Garrett expressed it, 'the
substantial thought of the residents
was for a perpetuation of the con-
troll of the navy department. The
islands contain some $4,000 people
Of whom 1000 are white and the
remainder negroes. Some agitators
among the latter are credited with
the petition to the United States to
,hange the form of government, and
hey obtain support from their own

parent of the Virgin Islands-Uncle
Sam-would tap his treasury for all
necessary funds if the projected
hange was made, eliminating such
uperfluous expenditures as taxes on
he part of the inhabitants. Natur-
lily this was popular
AS a matter of fact, the Danish {
government for many years appro-

'forty-five' pistol No. 9323S6, ant
while no one expects to find it the
search" is the key to a story OF
| how an American lieutenant of the
tank corps incurred the rage of an
Australian general in order to par
ticipate in one of the big actions of
the war
In one of the 9th division ac-
tions against the Hindenburg line,
the 301st American heavy tank bat
TALON was cooperating with the Aus
tralian corps. A lieutenant in charge
of one of the tanks found he was
short of gas, with hours of fighting
before him. In forage of the coun-
try he came across the limousine
Of the Australian commanding gen
eral, occupied only by the chauffeur.
Naturally the chauffeur of a general
would not listen to the pleadings of
a second lieutenant.
The Australians had the reputation
of being souvenir-hunters second only
to the Americans. The lieutenant
offered his Army Colt to the chauf-
feur for the use of the generals car.
The bribe was accepted. The car re-
turned to the lieutenant's tank with
its luxurious interior piled with tins
of petrol. The irate general was
there, and shouted, young man. I'll
have you eourt-martialled for this"
The lieutenant nonchalantly said
that since he had enough gas to take
him into the rest of the fight. he
more than likely would never come
back for trial He did come back,
however, but the general had forgot
his grievance.

Big Development In

(Iigh authority Of the French navy
(This is the third of series o
discussions by prominent scientlfit
naval and military experts on TN
subject of the next war Command
ant X, a high authority of the Frencl
navy, whose name naval usage doe
not permit to be used, suggests tina
submarines may one day become il

The fourth talk will appear to
morrow
"What would be a new war, IRON
the naval point of view, depends on
the enemy an dthe kind of war that
would have to be fought For the
time being, the French navy and all
the world navies are waiting, and
that is about all.
but large development of the
submarine warfare may be expected.
Submarines might become real war
ships. During the last war except at
the end. and in exceptional cases,
submarines employed dodginess ex-
clusively. They used to hide mad
flee as soon as they were discovered
They never accepted fight, even pa
troll boats for cargo boats.
IN the future, nothing prevents
the building of submarines which
will be armed sufficiently and
equipped to fight naval units such as
torpedo-boats
1T is likely that the deepest trans
formation of future war would be
the most intense use of submarines
and water planes We will witness
one day or the other new evolu-
tion of sea aviation.
"The field open to submarines and
water planes is indefinite. Their
importance will increase One might
see during the future war lively
fights between submarines, or
against ships or airplanes.
Nothing opposes either to the de-
velopment of using boats directed I
from away with electric cables, like
the Germans employed on the Bel

Regarding the artillery, formi-

SEES NO PROSPECT
!. Of CHEAPER LIVING
British Cotton Magnate Says
Cooperation in Labor
World Only Panacea.

LONDON, December 21.-Sir Charles
NIAGARA. former president of the In
ternational Cotton Federation and OF
the English FedeGation of Master Cot
ton Spinners' Associations. is OF the
opinion that-the world is faced with
disaster unless means be devised
| throughout the world to bring about
more whole-hearted cooperation be-
| tween employers and workers. with a
view to reducing governme ntal and
national extravaganza and bringing
down the cost of production by united
| effort
At present Sir Charles sees no pros.
pect OF a real reduction in the cost OF
living. and he thinks that the United
/! Kingdom is today in as critical po-
sition as at the outbreak of the war,
| largely due, he says, to the curtail-
ment of credit by banks, at the bid
ding of the government.
| People are encouraged to believe
that a slump in prices is due 1mme-
diately." said Sir Charles to the cor
| respondent. but an artificially Gre
ated slump would be nothing less than
a disaster. Low prices are an il1u-
sion so long as the world lacks goods
| and the cost of production remains on
| the present scale.
| Government Real Proateers.
! Making the so-called war profiteer
disgorge may be popular cry but it
must not be overlooked that the gov
eminent who has adopted the excess
profits duty are the real profiteers.
and in q slump may be called upon to
refund much of what they have col
| lected.
Then. again. wages arc very high,
working hours considerably shorter.
\ running expenses heavier than ever
before. and the cost of machinery 400
per cent above pre-war prices"
| The excess profits duty, Sir Charles
pointed out, has as consequence
largely failed in it's purpose. He con-
! tinued:
| IF there is no change of policy in
| regard to the cotton industry we shall
| have again what happened in 1916
the growers turning to crops that will
pay, with a consequent great advance
| in the price of cotton. which in that
year fell to. 4 pence per pound and in
! course OF time rose as high as As
! pence, increasing the price of the cot :
ton crop Of the world by f1,000,00O,-
| 0OO''
| World Cooperation Urged.
| Sir Charles regretted the failure of
| the governments to enlist the services
of the experts of the International
Cotton Federation and the Interna-
| tional Institute of Agriculture.
All nations are interdependent," he
said. and the worlds most urgent
| work. the provision of food and cloth
ing, cannot proceed except by interna
tlonal cooperation. and it were well
| II the United States would take the
initiative with this object in view.
The present crisis cannot be solved by
| the oratory Of professional politicians
at Geneva, but by a gradual reduction
| in national expenditure and by cheap
! ening the cost of production. If the
! league of nations had commenced by
| making use of the machinery Of the
orga nizations referred to whose very
existence proves the practicability Of
| the nations working in friendly co.
operation, much precious time would
have been saved. The situation is one
of extreme urgency"

through deep snow drifts, long be-
fore daybreak. Upon their arrival at
the frontier the American officers in
charge of the children were met by
committee of the nRrents assembled
beneath a white flag marking the
Russian border line. : The children
crossed in single file.
The Russian commissar was hand
ed the list of the children, and was
asked If he wished to check them
