AMERICAN ENGINEERS
SAVE BIG SHIP AGAIN
(Associated Press)

New York. Dec 2.-For the second
time within three years, American
engineering skill has triumphed over
obstacles tending to prevent the giant
steamship Leviathan, the former pride
of Germany's merchant fleet, from
going to sea.
The first time was in 1917, when the
great 81. 600 ton liner interned here at
the beginning of the war, was wilful-
ly damaged by her own engineers to
prevent her from being used as a
transport for American and allied SOL
diers.
American engineers repaired the
damage and made her ready for a
Trip within a few weeks. Her record
for the war was 10 voyages on which
she carried going and coming 1s4, ,253
American soldiers. Signing of the
armistice laid her up.
Then the United States shipping
board, her custodian for the United
States government, began to plan to
restore her to the transatlantic trade
as the premier American passenger
liner. Fitting her for troops had
stripped her of her former palatial
cabins, saloons and dining halls. These
had to be restored.
Under plans now prepared for the
bidders she will be entirely restored
as befitting her size. The grandeur
OF her original great dining saloons,
Iaunges, smoke rooms and libraries
will be retained and improved upon.
An immense tiled and marbled plunge
bath with accompanying rooms for
Turkish, electric and other baths will
be one Of her attractions. Suites once
designed as personal quarters for his
former imperial majesty the emperor
of Germany viii be retained but sug-
gestions of royalty will be replaced
by luxurious fittings desired by mod
ern democracy.
Who will operate the Leviathar
when restored to service and under
which housefiag she viii sail is yet tC
be determined by the shipping board

RoBBING THE MAILS
NOT REMUNERATIvE
tAssociated Press)

Kansas City, No., Dec 2.-Robbing
government trains is a dangerous and
unremunerative occupation, according
to Joe P. Johnston, postof1ice inspec-
tor here in charge of the Kansas City
district. Mr.. Johnston admits that
registered mail robberies have been in
distinct vogue recently, but he insists
that they do not really offer the OPP
portunity to get rich quick that those
who attempt them believe exists.
Rather. says Mr. Johnston, they Of
fer remarkable opportunity to get
killed or sent to prison quick Then
he fecites the fates that have over
taken many mail bandits.
"They all get killed or sent to
prison in the long rum" he remarks,
'and usually it isn't such very long
run, either"
Robbing the mails, the veteran
postoffice inspector says, probably
viii be less attractive than ever since
the government has stationed marine
guards on trains carrying valuable
mails, and provided escorts of "devil
dogs" for mail trucks and guards for
rooms where mail is handled The in
struction given the marines are very
explicit, 1t is guards duty to know
who is authorized to handle mail, and
to allow no one else to handle it. 1t
is his duty to know who is permitted
in the room or car where mail is
handled and to permit no one else
there. 1t is his duty, in case any one
attempts to rob the mails. to take
that person, dead or alive, or be able
to show a satisfactory reason why,
and the reason needs to be good one
"Under Secretary Denby's orders,
says Mr. Johnston, "about the only
reason that is considered valid is that
the bandit has killed the marine first.
''There has been an epidemic OF
mail robberies recently" Mr.. John
ston continued. II believe the reasor
is that lot Of young fellows believe
there is easy money in large amounts
to be had. That is a mistake. 0rdi.
narily the loot obtained from register
ed sacks is not easily negotiable, anG
y bandit. even if he gets away with
it, gets a small proportion of the
valre eff the loot.

my message to America. is this:
Stand by prohibition, enforce the law,
because in proportion as you enforce
it, there will be a decrease in GRIM
inality, pauperism, insanity, and the
other things that make for i'll in hu-
man society.

the greatest and most far reaching
pieces of legislation ever enacted by

mother from my earliest youth to ab-
stain from intoxicants of all kinds and
from tobacco, a rule of life which /
have followed to this day, have ever
heen the unrelenting foe of alcohol in
all its forms as beverage, and trust
that at no distant day Austria viii

loading Of an incubus, so destructive
of human life and property.
"We are thankful to America for
the help she is giving Us in the pro-
viding Of food for starving children.
