The virpin Islands.

The people of the Virgin islands.
having enjoyed the experience Of see
ing their territory sold "over their
heads" by Denmark to the United
2tates Of America, are reported to be
settling down without ado to their as
rociations with the new landlord. They
have. II would seem. reasonable expec-
tations of increasing prosperity, owing
to the constant visits of American
warships to the harbor Of st. Thomas
and to the presence Of American regi-
ments in their midst, both Of which
circumstances serve to stimulate trade
and to make the Islands appear busy
and "mOuvemente." Meanwhile.
small appropriation from the United
States covers the discrepancy between
the expenditure and revenue Of the
islands, which are governed locally, as
under Denmark. by the Colonial
Council" It remains for the United
States congress to decide what shall
be the permanent form Of government.
And the Virgin islands are doubtless
living Ia hopes.

Persian Envoy at Mount Vernon.

Shortly after Sir Julian Paunce-
totes coming to Washington a COM
plimentary trip to Mount Vernon was
arranged for him on the Mayfower,
which was the presidents yacht.
Among the invited guests was the Per
sian minister. 1t was quite q social
and impressive event. The spectacle
of the minister of Great Britain pay
ing respect to the tomb and memory
Of Washington did not pass without
comment upon its historical signifi-
canoe. During the visit the Persian
envoy was observed to be standing In
profound reverie in front Of the iron
gate of the tomb. He remained In 81
lence for some minutes, and then,
doubtless full Of obvious contrasts that
might occur to an oriental mind from
the land Of shahs and Of ivory pal
aces and gorgeous tombs, he turned to
a friend and said: "How great a man
and how little a cemetery !"-Lieuten-
ant Colonel E. W. Halford in Leslie's

German crippIes Employed.

According to the American Journal
for Cripples, published in this city,
Germany issued a peremptory order In
January requiring the employment OF
her disabled soldiers. All public and
private industries. Offices and admins
trations are directed to employ at least
one disabled soldier for every 100 per
sons on the working staff, making nc
distinction Of sex, II Is stated.
In agricultural work the proportion
must be one disabled soldier to every
30 employees. and in all cases the
disabled cannot be discharged except
with the consent Of the workmen'a
committee and after receiving IA days
notice. Private employers who disre.
gard the order are liable to fine OF
not more than 10000 marks.

BUILT UP POLISH INDUSTRIES
Russia's Expulsion Of Jews From Mos
COW Had Results Unforeseen by
MuscoNte Statesmen.

An odd bit of commercial history
comes to light with the granting Of
citizenship to Jews In Poland, and
shows how Russia, In expelling the
race from Moscow, provided Poland
with a human factor Of great impor-
lance In developing her own industrial
resources, the Christian Science Mon
itor recalls. Politically Poland lay
helpless in the grip of her powerful
neighbor, resisting as best she might
that neighbours determination to de-
stroy the last vestige Of Polish ma
tional existence. Industrially, on the
other hand, her coal and iron ore dis
tricts had developed Polish centers Of
manufacture superior to those of Rus
STA, but dependent for succOr on the
sale of their products In Russian mar
kets. Jews came from Moscow who
were familiar with Russian trade con-
ditions, had already established per
sonal trade relations with Russian cit
les, and were admirably fitted to de-
velop a commercial program between
the two countries. These men became
the natural Intermediates between
Poles and Russians In business, and
their expulsion from Russia Is doubt
less one reason for the prosperity OF
Polish industries at LODI, Warsaw and
Petrokov.

PESTILENCE CAUSED BY WAR
Generally Understood That the InfIu.
enza Epidemic Was a Direct
Result Of Great Conflict.

Sufficient time mas not yet elapsed
to determine the indirect effects of the
recent eruption of Mount Kloet in Java
which wiped out over a score Of vii
lagos and killed thousands Of the ma
lives, but recollections of Krakatoa's
volcanic outburst In 1888 which within
six weeks sprinkled its fine lava dust
over the whole world, has given an in
teresting suggestion to certain MEM
bers Of the medical profession. During
the closing year Of the war an infiu-
enza epidemic ragged In many parts Of
the world. The manner Of its out
break In different countries indicated
that the germs Of the disease had been
conveyed by the currents in the air.
The theory, therefore. has been
preached that the poison gases with
which many sectors Of the fighting
area were drenched were carried by
the wind in every direction, causing
the Influenza outbreak in Spain, Ger
many, England. France. South Amer
lea, Australia, Africa, Asia, as well as
in the United States and some Of the
Central American countries. That the
influenza is a corollary Of the war Is
undoubted. Any similar gigantic con-
flict. is argued, would be attended with
a similar widespread pestiience-an-
other reason why every effort should
be made to avert wars in the future

One particularly hot day a pretty

SHEEP HERDER WELL HOUSED
Compact, Comfortable Dwellings Pro-
vded for Those Who Tend the
Herds on Western Plains

Just at present the sheep herder's
lot is a fairly happy one, Frank r.
Arnold writes in Popular Mechanics
magazine. He gets 500 a month be-
sides his expenses, and one never can
see his sheep wagon without wanting to
leave civilization for few months and
take to the range. II is the most
compact dwelling house on wheels that
has ever been devised. For utilizing
all possible space II can give lessons
even to dining car or a sailboat. II
is dining car and sleeping car In one,
and historically forms a permanent
link between western pioneers days,
when every one travelled In a prairie
schooner, and automobile days when
the sheep wagon is used only to follow
the herd during the winter and spring,
until II disappears up on the high sum-
mer range, where only a saddle horse
can penetrate.
The wagon, which for months Is
thus the home Of two sheep herders,
has long, narrow body, to give free
dom to the wheels, but above the
wheels 1t flares out enough to give
broad room with benches along both
sides. 1t has three coverings Of can
vas for greater warmth in winter, and
q stove screwed to the floor near the
front door. The back part of the can
vas covered space serves as bedroom.
containing nothing but bed, to which
air is supplied by sliding glass win
dows to the rear end of the wagon.
Attached to the bed is folding table,
and under 1t are small drawers and
large bin to contain the herder's sup
ply Of -four and grain.

GERMAN RED ARMY
MUST GIVE UP ITS
ARMS BY APRIL 10
Commander In Ruhr District Handl'
capped by Lack Of Military
Supplies

Dusseldorf Soldiers of the work
mems army in the Ruhr district must
make a delivery Of their arms to To-
cal authorities before April 10 under
the agreement reached between the
government and the central commit
tee of the workmen's general confer
ence held recently at Essen. They
will not be considered rebels if fight
ing ceases Immediately.
The commander of the Communist
troops before Vessel gave a pledge to
the conference for the strict observ-
ance of the agreement. He declared
he had really good army, but could
not continue fighting because he lack
ed ammunition and asserted all loot
ing had been suppressed and that all
looters had been shot.
81 will shoot with my own pistol, "
he said, "any Communist soldier who
disobeys the order to withdraw and
disarm."
Assurance was given the delegates,
however, that there would be no trou'
BILE. There is some apprehension felt
as to a few extremist groups particu-
larly as they have learned OF a report
that government troops have entered
at several points and that two work
mems delegates were arrested while
going to Essen for the conference.

DEFICIT OF $214000,00o;
RESERVE BANKS WARNED
Amount Necessary For April And

Washington. Governors Of federal

ury department that the government
will be a heavy borrower in April and
May despite the March reduction of

Gates of indebtedness which will be
necessary to meet the national needs
was not disclosed, but another issue
of such obligations is expected in the
near future.
1t is explained that while import
ant progress" has been made in low
ering the gross debt. ii is a mistake
to assume that reduction equal
to that in March can be had next
month. Fluctuations will occur in the
amount of the outstanding debt and
these will follow the payment of in
come and profits tax installments, of
fieials assert.
For the first nine months of the
fiscal year, ending June 30, the treas
ury shows q deficit of $214,000, 900.
But during that period, the peak of
the war debt was reached and com
parison of the public debt by months
since August 81 last, reveals a sub
stantia reduction both in the perma-
nent and floating obligations, Secre-
tary Houston says.

cash bonus, funds for which would
be raised by a sale or luxuries taxes.
has been approved by the ways and
means committee by a vote OF 10 to
G. Details OF the bill to be recon-
mended will be worked out by sub
committees to be appointed later.
Members OF the committee hope to
obtain final action by the house be-
fore the contemplated recess for the
national political conventions, but they
express doubt whether action by the
senate could be had at this session.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, after a confer
ence with other senate Republicans
as to future legislation in the senate,
said he thought this would include a
bill to give money bonus to former
service men, with provisions for spe-
cial tax to raise the necessary funds.
The program approved by the house
committee declares against any bond
issue. 1t is understood to have been
submitted by Representative Long
worth, Republican, Of Ohio, and was
discussed at great length in executive
session.
While the exact form of legislation
was not decided upon, committee dis
cussion was said to have indicated APP
proval of a plan of extending voca-
tional education as an alternative to
the cash bonus.
These two plans are a part OF the
American Legion's program. It's 9th
err selected plan of government aid to
soldiers and sailors for building homes
or obtaining ownership of farms were
said by some members of the COM
mittee to involve too many difficult
ties to be worked out by legislation be-
fore the recess.
