COBLENZ BEGINS
To RESEMBLE AN
AMERICAN CITY
Blinds Which Were Drawn
When the Yanks Came
Have All Been Raised;
Business Reported Good.
lnr The Associnted Press.l

Coblenz, Dec. 1S.-Little by lit
tie, Coblenz has been taking on an
American aspect, with a Will ana
smile in some respects, but re-
IIuctantly and with frown so far
as most of the German population
lis concerned The recent formall-
ties off, peace apparently did not
make a particle Of difference either
way. Some of the bitterness the
Germans showed when the Amerl-
can army marched into Coblenz
December s, nearly three years ago,
has subsided.
Coblenz now is one of the liveli-
est little cities of central, western
Europe. Not for the Americans
alone, nor the English, French ana
Belgians, but for the Germans, too,
and the blinds in the German
homes, which were drawn IN re-
sentiment at the coming of the
Americans, have all been raised,
regardless Of whether the occupants
like or disapprove of the occupa-
tion forces, and business mas
thrived to such an extent that many
n Coblenz merchant has put ASIDE
a snug little fortune, as fortunes
go in Germany.
American civilians have been
pouring into the occupied area for
the past two years and a half'
Thousands for sightseeing purposes
and other on business missions
which have kept them here. Then
various officers and enlisted men
have left the army from time 10
time to enter business of some klhd,
and gradually the American colony
on the Rhine has grown until To-
day it is estimated there are some
thing like 1000 civilians from the
United States scattered about the
Coblenz area. :, ~
There are American stores al
about town but all of them are not
owned by Americans. American
made goods are on sale at half the
down town shops, and "Englsn
spoken here" greets shoppers in an
the principal streets. At the news
stands about town the Amaroc
News. which is the daily newspaper
OF the American forces in Germany,
is on sale as we'll as daily news
papers from New York and chi
cago.
In the streets, during the shop
ping hours, nearly as much Eng
lish as German is heard. An Amor
lean feels quite at home in Coo!enz
half an hour after he arrives.

larger. The experts have practi-

Washington. Dec. lS.-SecretarY
Davis has ordered fines to the linn
it to be assessed against the Brit
ish Cunard steamship line, and has
asked the state department to
make diplomatic representations
to England for what he officially
classed "as n bold. and, | believe,
knowing attempt on the part of the
company to violate the immigra-
ton law either because of the pal
try profits to be gained or to dis
credit our immigration policy"
The circumstance complained of
arises out Of the arrival on Deem
ber 10 at New York of the liner
Aquitania with 300 Hungarian
Immigrants, despite that on De-
cember /, the immigration bureau
had announced that the Hungarian
quota entitled to enter the United
states up to July, 1922, was ex~
hausted. Mr.. Davis has likewise
addressed a letter to Attorney Gem
eral Daugherty asking for legal
opinion as to what action can be
taken in "an appalling situation
which has arisen by the reckless
disregard of the iaw by steamship
companies"
Since enforcement OF the new
immigration act, the immigration
authorities have been in practically
constant controversy with steam
ship lines which they charged with
deliberate attempt to make the
law futile.

Bloomington, ILL.,. Dec. IS (Spe-
ciaD Rooms, rather than cells;
fresh air instead of the customary
vitiated atmosphere; sunlight. hot
and cold water, and scores Of other
innovations mark the new Illinois
penitentiary now nearing compile
tion at Lockport.
The first of eight cylindrical
buildings has been completed and
shelters 24S eonYicts. Others WIN
soon be ready ana inmates OF the
old prison at Joliet will be trans-
ferred without delay. The eight
new cell houses will take care Of
1900 prisoners.
The estimated cost of the new
penitentiary is 100000. 1t is
the first of its kind in the world.
1t was projected fifteen years ago,
during the first term of Governor
Deneen. Three commissioner he
appointed, Congressman Ira Cop

steel and glass have been substi-
tuted.
The inmate therefore has a room
instead of the old time cage. Only
one prisoner will be allotted to a
cell. This is also an innovation.
The new penitentiary also IS
unique in the study of criminals
with a view to doing away with the
maintenance of discipline by force
All new arrivals are sent TO a re-
ceiving department to be examined
physically and mentally and then
kept for further observation, sent
to a hospital for treatment, or put
into classes Of education and labor
as recommended by the experts.
Prisoners are advanced from one
cell house to another and finally to
cottages surrounded by an iron
picket fence instead of the concrete
wall. The idea carries out the pa
role policy, and enables the convict
to live almost like a person in the
outside world.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The Wall
street explosion in connection with
which Wolfe Lindenfeld has been
arrested in Warsaw, occurred at
noon on September 16. 1920. and
was one of the worst tragedies in
the history OF the metropolis.
The skyscrapers of lower Man
haitian were pouring out their
thousands for the midday meal
when suddenly a sheet of flame
shot up from Wall and Broad
streets. In a few seconds nearly
two score bodies lay on blood
stained pavements. while moro
than 100 men and women were
torn by flying fragments of metal.
In a second millions of dollars
worth of damage had been done.
All was confusion, all was mys-
terry. After a time, when hundreds
Of policemen and a detachment OF
soldiers from Governors Island ar
rived to guard sub-treasury and
banking houses, the confusion end
ed, but the mystery continued
month after month until it seemed
as IL 1t never would be solved.
Countless investigations were
started. A wrecked wagon and
dead horse were found outside the
banking house OF ]. j. Morgan g.
Co, which by some investigators
was held to be the object of the
outrage-if indeed outrage it was.
and not accident. 1t was generally
accepted that the explosion had
occurred in this death cart, whose
owner or driver never were found.
although expert farriers and wag-
on makers were called in in ef-
forts to identify horse and vehicle.
Investigators wavered for a
time back and forth between theo-
ries that powder wagon acciden-
tally had blown up or that a timed
bomb had been sent into the r.
nancial district. but after time
it came to be the general opinion
that the explosion was planned,
