Gradually each group is shown the advantage

classes for them, not alone in English but in any
subject They are shown in practical ways the ad

Reprisals.

TIVE world is full of inconsistencies. But none
i could be more glaring than that of Great
Britain in her attitude toward German attacks from
the air and coast raids during the war; and her pol
icy in Ireland The one directly contradicts the
other.
1t will be recalled that German warships sew
efal times during the war. attacked unprotected
coast cities, resorts and unfortifed communities.
She sent her airships which bombed from the
skies, not Notifications but civilians and business
districts.
goodly portion of the British public and
press urged reprisals. The government refused. It
was contended that violation of the rules of war
and of humanity by Germany did not warrant and
could not excuse like violation by Great Britain.
The British spirit of sportsmanship, her honor her
dignity her moral sense would not permit her to
attack the helpless, the noncombatant, the inno-
cent No matter what happened she would not
murder women and children.
For some years this policy was upheld and
persisted in Only in the closing months of the war,
yielding to public insstence and a sort of righteous
wrath, were British ships ordered to carry the
to German cities and Germany's civil population
But her policy in Ireland has been exactly
the reverse of this From the first she has used
reprisal and has lost increasingly in world public
opinion! No American can know the whole situa-
ton. But no American recognizes that killing or
numbering armed men or men in military and po-
lice in service. is sufficient reason for killing the
helpless destroying villages, wrecking cities and
burning plants of peaceful industry.
Nor do the British people take any other view
than this. They rightly expressed themselves in
the early years of the under increasing provo
cation and terror. They have had no like provoca-
ton or terror as to Ireland, and their press
earnestly and emphatically as the American press,
condemns their governments policy of ruthless
reprisas. -. .,. 80,

The Part Of the States.

IF A complete immigration distribution system
j is to be worked out; If Commissioner Hus-
band is to carry out his plan for placing con-
siderable proportion Of the immigrants on the
land. it 10 important that all the States should
have settlement commissions. In this way the COM
missioner could have full information of all State
- we'll as Federal public lands. land prices local
conditions and inducements and the other data
necessary at the land end
He could also have cooperating bodies and
working agreements. He could have this means of
keeping in touch with immigrants sent to the land
and of assurance of guidance for them with help
to solve their new problems
n Wisconsin and Minnesota have such settlements
boardsswith wide powers. Others have them with
all degrees of authority. These two States have
large areas Of so-called "cut-over land. formerly
pine forests The soil is rich and fertile. but clear
ing i expensive. It is aid in this clearing to which
both have directed much attention. But their ac-
tivties extend to drainage, road making, schools,
cooperative organization. marketing, cropping,
pervisory advice, stocking and all the incidents of
successful agriculture.
No immigrant should go to the land in these
days to. alone. work out his salvation. strange in
language and with strange surroundings. They all
need help Of many kinds. This is for the States to

grant Is adequate means for fair financial start,
and intelligent industry. He should come from the
land if he Is to go to the land. Then there would

system in Huntsville show a total Of
290 escapes between January l ana
July /, 1921, as against 256 escapes
during the entire year Of 1870.
Against the debit Of 29O prisoners
ESCAPED in the first half Of 1921
there is a credit Of $50 prisoners re.
captured mostly men who escaped
during 1921, but some Of them men
who escaped before 1921 and were
not recaptured until 1921. During
1920 the credit was for 1872 men re-
captured, as against 256 escaped.
Assuming that the number Of es-
capes during the remainder Of 1871
equals the first half, the total will be,
$50 for the year, as compared WITH
256 in 1920, or slightly more than
two and one-fourth times as many
prisoners escaped. There have been
two wholesale deliveries" in one of
which. or rather as a result thereof,
two prisoners were killed, five others
were wounded and two guards were
badly wounded. This was the de-
livery from the main penitentiary on
May IL, in which forty prisoners
made n break for liberty.
"Why so many more escapes this
year than last?" was the question
asked Of Captain j. A. Herring,
chairman Of the Board Of Prison
Commissioners, following an inspec-
ton Of the prison records.
"Our reports show almost uniform
~ that the men responsible for these
Jail breaks are longtime, desperate
h. k..s. pnn and
could not have at any time any pos
sible hope Of pardon or parole" he
said "In fact, there seem always TO

siders that they also are not affected
in number by the policy Of the Gov

"As long as the men think they can

he continued, "and the principal

Due 20 the cessation Of all pardons

recent order revoking half Of the LAP
paroles shown on the prison records,
the States prison population has in
creased nearly s per cent since Jan.
/. At the beginning Of the year
there were 900 prisoners on hand I;
now there are $50. However, part
Of the increase is due to increase in
newly received prisoners, the total
for the first half Of 1921 being 1855,
against l,l39 for the whole Of 1920.

FOR NEAR EAST
Truce Between Turks
and Greeks to Be
Declared.

London, Feb. 24-(By the Associat-
ed Press) The solution Of the near
east problem relating to Turkey, which
would be reached by the allied SUI
preme council will be to send an al
lied commission of inquiry to the near
east to examine the claims Of Greece
and Turkey in the disputed provinces
of Smyrna and Thrace, it was fore
cast in well informed circles here
Thursday. Meantime a cessation of
hostilities between the Turks and
Greeks will be declared.
This will delay a final settlement
three or four months and the French
delegates express the hope that by
that time the United States will be in
a position to participate in the ulti-
mate treaty.
Rechad Pasha, delegate of the Con
stantinople government to the near
east conference here, speaking for
both his group and that of the ma
tionalists, told the allied conferees
that both factions of the Turks would
accept the decisions Of the allies.
The attitude of the Turks made an
excellent impression upon the confer
ees. Premier BRAND of France de-
clared after the sitting that the con-
ference had gone long way toward q
settlement.

While the cabinet is regarded mere
as virtually closed, the president-elect
made it clear that changes still are
possible.
Selections Provisional
Since he began the selection, Mr..
Harding has kept on the safe side
and has made virtually all Of his invi-
tatiOns to membership more or less
provisional.
Discussing the question of Herbert
G. HOover's acceptance of the COM
merce portfolio, the president elect
said Thursday that he could under
stand easily how the former food adj
ministrator might desire to know
something Of the detailed policies Of
the administration before agreeing to
take the place. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hoover are in
communication now on that subject and
there is every evidence that the dis
cussion is pointing toward an accep-
lance.
Reorganization Big Task
President elect Harding is giving in
creasing attention to the first big adj
ministrative task he will undertake as
president-the reorganization of exec
utive machinery Of the government.
. The delayed plans have not taken
form but it is known that Mr.. Hard
ing has in mind sweeping changes in
many of the government departments
and that he expects to enlist in the
work of reorganization some of the
ablest administrators he can find. He
is understood to have told some of his
advisers that he regards the super
vision of the reorganization commits
sion as post virtually on a par with
a cabinet portfolio.
One of the biggest innovations to be
proposed was the establishment of
separate department of public well
fare, for which Mr.. Harding outlined
his plans in a general way during the
campaign. He contemplates the trans
fer to this department Of several of
the bureaus now working under other
departments, and in addition there are
to be a number of entirely new bu-
reaus to deal with various welfare
problems.
A division of industrial research is
to be built up, possibly taking over
some of the present functions of the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce, to make comparative study

HARDING TO Determine

New York. Feb. "a. (By the Assoc

merce or as director of European re-
lief
In statement to the Associated
Press he said:
