The arrival of the Ostfriesland and
Nassau marks the first delivery of
German naval vessels since the Scapa
Flow incident. The British admiralty
expects the delivery of the remainder
of the German war vessels will pro-
coed speedily, as it is believed Ger
many intends to carry out the treaty
without quibbling and at as early a
date as possible.
There remain six battleships, sew
eral light cruisers, and forty torpedo
boat destroyers and a number of sub
marines to be delivered.

The battle between landlords and
tenants in the United States assumes
almost equal interest with strikes,
politics, national and International
problems. In New York recently en-
acted anti-rent-profiteeri legislation,
received its first tests with results
wholly favorable to tenants. In every
case tried evictions were defeated and
tenants were granted stay-Overs of
from one to three months when they
proved their inability to find new
homes. In Chicago and many other
cities tenants are organizing leagues
to resist what they consider unduly
increased rents. Many court battles
are impending and in some cases arbi-
tration has been invoked successfully,
resulting In some compromises and
some material reductions. Real estate
boards have acted effectively in some
instances In settling controversies and
the problem is receiving wide atten-
ton from municipal authorities and
financiers. Loan corporations with
large capital have been formed in
number of cities to promote building
and help end the housing shortage. In
spite of all remedial measures and all
the oil being poured upon the troubled
waters, landlords and tenants are look
ing toward May / and other moving
days, with misgiving.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When whiting be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

consequent lessening of production,
contributing to further Increase in
prices and the cost of living. But
since responsible uniOnism has been
under direct attack and public senti-
ment has been aroused, the two forces
see clearing of the atmosphere and
ultimate good as result of the fray.
Germany seems surprised and en-
deavOrs to muster show of indigna-
ton that the French should have
taken seriously the terms of the peace
treaty. With the movement of the
German reichswehr In unauthorized
force into the Ruhr basin (part of the
neutral zone of so kilometers on the
right bank Of the Rhine) the French
promptly occupied the German cities
of Frankfort, DarmStadt, H0mburg,
Hanau and Dieburg and surrounding
territory. French Officialdom points
out that Germany had already slipped
out of ten complianceS with the
treaty, the most important being fail
ure to disarm. nonpayment of indem-
mites, no prosecution of her war GRIM
inals and failure to deliver coal to
France; also that If permitted to get
away with such a vital violation as
invasion of the neutral zone, she would
soon discard all pretenses of living up
to the pact. 1t is further pointed out
that Noske far from reducing Ger
many's army to the point demanded
in the treaty, had really been building
up great and potent military force
from the remnants of the old army.
The French, and they are not alone in
the assertion, claim that Germany
still has 1880 cannon, and could now
mobilize more than 100000 trained
men armed with rifles, machine guns
and minenwerfer. The assertions are
a tribute to German organizing eff
cheney and charge that camouf1aged as
auxiliary troops, safety guards, police
men. civic Guards, regulars, volunteers,
home guards, etc., the country really
has no less than 100000 men who
can be called upon and 100000 who
could be rendered Immediately effec
tive. Every man in the country was
recently soldier and now each one
under Noske's genius. has become a
policeman or something similar, be-
longing to military organization and
with complete military equipment in
his home. The French occupation has
been criticized as lacking allied sup
on important matters before that. AT
any rate, the occupation appears to
be complete so far as 1t has gone and
promises to end with compromise
with allied supervision of German OPP
erations In the Ruhr districts or full
German compliance with French
terms.

Denmark having staged its demon
stration. is outwardIy quiet. The net
result Of the disturbance seems to be
distinct gain for the liberal ele-
ments, with the king considerably out
of favor and an increased leaning of
the people toward a republic. Both
reactionism and radicalism received
setbacks; the former through the will
of the people to have the constitution
amended and strengthened, and the
latter IN the failure Of agitation to Sc
cure its entire adjustment. AS re-
suit OF the troubles the king was
forced to dismiss the unpopular cab

tion of new ministry headed by M.

Construction of ship canal from

the st. Lawrence river, will be widely
agitated during the coming year and
undoubtedly will be live issue in
congress. Investigation of the project
was authorized by congress over a
year ago. Canada took similar action
with the result that an international
joint commission was formed which Is
now making surveys with view to
reporting both to the congress of the
United States and the parliament of
Canada, as to cost and feasibility.
The organization chiefly interested IN
pushing the canal is known as the

American forces have left Siberia
while Czecho-Slovaks and others are
getting out as rapidly as possible, with
the exception of the Japanese. Japan
will not leave Siberia for the present,
having on the contrary, occupied the
city of Vladiyostok and ended the
Red regime there. Prior to that had
occurred several brushes between the
Russians and Japanese, notably an
engagement March 1920, at Niko-
laevsk, in which the latter lost 700
men. Japan is said to fear the extern
sion Of bolshevik theories to Korea,
Japan itself, Manchuria and other
spheres of Japanese influence. Czecho-
Sloyak officers recently arrived in this
country do not hesitate to assert the
belief that German intrigue figures in
the far Eastern situation and that ulti-
mately Germany, Russia and Japan
will reach a workable understanding
If not an actual alliance.

Saving the Rock Island Club.

There is no question of the need that the
Rock Island club as a purely social organ
ization, fills in the life of the city. Every
town of $4,000 people requires some such CEN
ter, open to people in all lines of business
something to bridge the social gaps that arise
from sectarian fraternal etc, well as from
occupationas associations. 1t helps to promote
mutual understanding and to draw people to-
Eether in the common interests of the COM
munity.
e There is nothing fundamentally wrong with
the Rock Island club 1t has survived too
many years to be considered experiment
and its survival has proved its fitness. Just
now, like nearly all other organized institu-
tons, it is up against period of reconstruc-
ton. with higher costs of operation and in
adequate means of meeting them. 1t can't
make 50-cent dollar 60 as far as 100-cent
dollar used to. Even SO its financial condition
il not so serious. Its current obligations will be
paid by July l and its other ones will not be
due for a number of years. The property it
occupies is worth at least twice what was
paid for it. so it is amply secured.
All that is necessary is an enlarged rev.

to live. If the people of Rock Island do not
provide it they will be shortsighted indeed

Sitting ON Sims.

The dont-care-a-hang spirit, SO noticeable
in private life lately, seems to have spread to
the executive branch of the federal government.
At least President Wilson didn't seem to pay
much attention to where the chips fell when
he slashed into the naval controversy.
In publishing the address he delivered to
officers OF the navy in the summer OF 1917 the
president literally followed the advice he then
gave about leaving the word prudent" out
of the vocabulary. That address knocks Ad-
miral Sims cold and relieves Secretary Daniels
absolutely OF any blame that might otherwise
have been attached to him as result OF re-
fections made by SIMS but it also definitely in
vites opening of an international controversy
which Sims himself cid not have weight enough
to start.
There need be no fear on this side OF the
Atlantic that the American navy will suffer in
an exchange of compliments with England, for
Sims undoubtedly has told the worst he knew
or imagined about it, and he seems to have had
access to all the derogatory information there
was. There has been enough international un-
pleasantness, however. What is needed now
is little salve to heal the old sores, rather
than irritants to make new ones.

Not Due to Wands.

Everyone who tells a story picks out some
part of what really happened to dwell upon,
and negleCts the rest as unimportant.
That is entirely reasonable; it would be alb
surd for an engineer to tell exactly what birds
were singing and what blossoms were breaking
out when something happened in his engine.
One must tell the essential facts. But what
facts are essential? That is the rub. And the
work. has often been mised for centuries be-
cause some one picked out the wrong one.
An old bible story tells how Jacob agreed
with his fatherin-law to take the ringstreak-
ed the speckled and the spotted Of the herd for
his wages as shepherd and gathered and then
peeled bark Off poplar wands to make white
rings and set these wands before the stronger
cattle when they bred, to produce streaked
or mottled offspring. Every child who reads
the story gains the idea that wha. breeding
creatures see can mark their young.

One Way Traffic.

Cincinnati is trying to meet its traffic prob
lem by setting aside certain streets for one
way traffic. A special traffic committee, after
a study of conditions, has recommended that
nine streets be so designated. This will do
away with two miles of street car tracks, since
the rule would apply also to street cars. Dou-
BILE tracks on one-way streets will be torn up
and replaced with single ones giving that much
more room. The plan has met with deter

streets involved, but it is considered necessary
to do something to relieve congestion. The ex-
