 leaguer, at first base. He was placed
 there after he had finished several
 years in the outfieldss Collins is hit ting well up near the 300, but he has been in the big show over 10 years and many close followers of the game believe he is due to be shunt- ed before very long. Heilman is playing the initial corner for the Tigers and he, too, is a veteran o1 many a battle.

THOUGHTFUL GERMANY.

It is pleasant to read of a sudden change of heart on the part of one formerly considered an awful enemy. It is fine to have ones confidence in man brought back by some act of obe- dience to the right on the part of one from whom we would never expect such a thing.
 Ii is really very nice to learn that Germany is restoring things she took. Think of the terrible sacrifice it must bring to those poor Huns to give up possessions of their enemies. Think how tears must have flowed from the faithful when they saw treasures they had taken being sent back to the en- emy against which they had waged war considered holy because 1t was
 for Germany.
 Real pity for them anguishes the heart when the news dispatches are read telling of the submissive man. ner in which they have really begun to obey some of the demands of the Treaty Of Versailles.
 We should halt in our denunciatior of our recent enemy and remember the warning that we judge not too hastily
 We should remember that we, too are liable 10 mistakes - harshnes. even, and we should see in this lates action of Germany the great spirit oi conversion that has come to hel people.

the ideal leader of thought in the affairs of the League.
 The anniversary of the birth of a man who becomes President of the United states is a great day. All are glad to know that President Wilson was strong enough to enjoy his birthday dinner with his family. That family, in company with his host of friends, has reason to be proud of their relationship or their friendship with him. IT for no other reason his courageous. sometimes stubborn. clinging to an ideal in a world where ideals are rarely the inspiration for great things immediately. gives them ground for pride.
 But 1t is believed sincerely that greater day for celebration will come when the idea of the League will be written into a formal docu- ment which shall bind closer the na- tions of the world and in which there will be the spirit of Woodrow Wilson.

 The speakers declared differentia. tion should be made between seamen and longshorcmen in the application of accident insurance, advocating fed eral administration for the formef group in order to insure uniformity, and state jurisdiction over the latter.

HARDING;s CABINET.

II IL is impossible. of course, to make any predictions as to Senator Hard lng's choice of Cabinet members. One has no way of knowing the inside facts: no way of ascertaiing to what men posts have been or will be off, fered. or who have refused.
 It is possible to say, however. that much Is expected of President-elect Harding in his choice. It is believed. moreover. that more men of achieve ment are at his disposal than has been the case in recent years.
 It is quite plain that if Herbert Hoover is forgotten by MT. Harding the people will be greatly disappoint- ed, and with reason. Often it has been said that the majority of the people of this country wanted Hoover for President. He was not a man whose mind would run in the same chan mel with that of the politicians" He was not considered by them., Unless there are personal reasons, unknown to the public. why MT. Hoover cannot enter the cabinet. MT. Harding's ad- ministration would begin with a very black eye indeed were. he to be left out. And 1t is known that MT. Hoover Is always willing to serve when his; conscience tells him he should. &
 Charels F.. Hughes is another pos stbility. It would seem to the un- preJudiced citizen that he would make an ideal Secretary of State. Possibly he has refused or will refuse the offer if it is rendered him. But if available MT. Harding could make no better choice.
 The matter of President elect Hard ing's cabinet is here cited to indicate the possibilities that lie before him. The people are usually disappointed in the Cabinet of a new President. At this time, however, 1t would seem that strong men are so eager to bring the country to it's normal prosperity: to assure our land of its proper place among the nations of the world; to see that no disastrous mistakes are made. that President-elect Harding has no excuse for making a failure, or cre- ating disappointment at the very be- ginning of his administration.

BIG FIRE IN WILMINGTON
S2 .5OO, ,OOO Blaze Rages in Wilmington
 Leather Company Plant

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 29.-The huge plant of the Wilmington Leather Company was mass of smokin g ruins, twisted steel and battered con- crete last night after the most de- structive fire in the history of Will mington, which caused damage es- timated at more than s2,500.000.
 At no time after the fire was dis covered, shortly before 6 o'clock, were the combined fire companies of the city able to get it under control and at 10 o'clock the flames were dying down, after having destroyed eleven buildings and a valuable stock of raw partly finished and manufactured leather. All that remained of the great plant was a small warehouse and 8 workshop set apart from the main building.
 The company was organized in 1905 with James F. O'Neil of this city as president

coasting on streets where mobiles pass. is allowed.
 A grown person who is able to re- member those long-ago coasting days knows tar peter than did his parents what narrow escapes there were and kept on. Only good fortune pre- vented more of the accidents, many of which were recorded: many of which brought intense grief to many a home.
 Last night the ice and the compact ness of the snow in streets where automobiles were passing, made the coasting splendid. Hundreds of chil- dren took advantage of the chance to try their new sleds. It was only the excessive care of motorists that pre- vented accidents-and there may have been many of which we are not i'm formed.
 Of course the motorist has rights as well as children. He is constantly annoyed. The more he loves the little ones, the greater is his fear amounting to keen anxiety. But we are writing now of tho danger to tho, children and we want to make it as forceful as possible. E .N ,i
 There are streets that are rarely used by cars, and better still there are open fields and yards where coasting is splendid, too. These should be turned over to the children-and may they have many days and evenings of the sort of coasting that was found last night.
 But for the sake of those little ones we all love let them be kept from coasting on the streets.

New York.-Dec 29.-A bootblack who attempted to charge fifteen cents for a shine here today appeared later in the tombs court with black eye. Giovanni Bliosi, who wields flannel rag and a stiff brush in Greenwich street shop testified against Harry Wolfe, a salesman.
 He hit me like this" muttered Giovanni, making a sweeping gesture.
 He charged me fifteen cents for a shine. That disconcerted me-" testi- fled Wolfe.
