Jews. Turks. and many others do
not observe it on this day. Even
Christian countries have not always
so observed It; the Romans began
the year with the March Equinox

time continued the beginning Of the
year from March 25.
Time Changed in 1868
1t was only in 1868, by an cdict Of
Charles TX, that France changed the
time Of the beginning Of the year to
January first. In 1900 Scotland made
the same change. and England only
did so in 1852, when the Gregurian
system was adopted there. 1t will
thus be seen that the New Year. OBJ

Pre-War Lake and
Rail Services To
Be Started Again
Great Lakes Transit Corpo-
ration Announces EN,en-
Sion Durin. Season: Joint
Rates Will Be Established

The traffic bureau Of the Merchants
Association is informed that with the
reopening Of navigation on the Great
Lakes Saturday the Great Lakes
Transit Corporation is re-establishing
service between Buffalo. Chicago and
Milwaukee, and will operate seven or
eight steamers, with sailings every
other day between ports in both dircc-
tions. The feet will be increased as
business warrants.
Arrangements have been made by the
corporation with the trunk line vail
roads for joint through rail-and- lake
rates from New York and Eastern
points to Chicago and Milwaukee, with
points beyond reached by rail carriers.
These rates from New York to Chicago
and Milwaukee will be established on a
scale of differentials under the all
rail rate, commencing with Is cents on
tirst-class freight down to cents on
the sixth-class rate.
Al Chicago the corporation will use
the dock formerly owned by the Lehigh
Valley. 1t will make connections at
Chicago with the Burlington, Rock
Island and Santa Re railroads. and at
Milwaukee with tho St. Paul and North
western railroads.
The establishment of this lake line
should enable shippers, says tho Mer-
chants Association, to receive the
benefit of rail and lake service Of a
character similar TO that prevailing
before the war.

Gals of the American Steamship Own
ers Association were in touch with
Senator Calder and other members Of
the Finance Committee. before the
bill was reported, in an effort to mod
ity this section. They will continue
their efforts.
Ship owners are not disposed TO deny
protection or assistance to American
repair yards, especially at time when
the steamship lines themselves are
asking government aid For this rea-
son the owners hope that a compro-
mise can be reached which will be sat
isfactory TO all
Legislation similar to that provided
in tho tariff bill has been on the stat
ute books for fifty years, but it has
never been rightly enforced. Repairs
made in an emergency in foreign yards
are exempted from payment of the
duty, and this has given loophole
allowing liberal Interpretation Of the
law, 1t is said. The ship owners are
not satisfied with the situation. par
ticularly as the law directs confsca-
ton Of vessels for violations. They
prefer moderate legislation, applied
strictly.
There is some disposition to strike
out this section Of the tariff bill as
supertluous. Shipping men point out
that the subsidy bill, which is now
pending in CONGRESS, requires vessels
accepting government aid 30 have all
repairs and rcco1ditioninG. except IN

Ship Subsidy to Cost
Sl2,5OO,O 900 First Year
Loss of Mail Subventions Will
Mean Only $lO,O0O.OOO Net
TO Merchant Fleet

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Shipping
Board experts have computed that the
entire existing privately owned Ameri-
can merchant marine would receive a
total subsidy of $l2,500,000 a year
under the legislation now receiving
consideration by Congress. Since,
however, these ships would lose mail
subventions, now received, amounting
TO $2.500,000 annually, the net annual
subsidy resulting from enactment of
the bill was estimated at $10OO0,O00
The largest amount of subsidy which
would go to single ship among those
now existing would be TO the new
Resolute or Reliance of the United
American lines" the report showed
amounting to about 100000 annually,
or $4,000 net, when the present mail
subvention of Sl50,0O0 is considered.
Former German vessels would be sub
sidized on the basis of their selling
price fixed by the Shipping Board and
not on replacement value, it was
stated.

of ships needed, would receive from

Warned to Drop
Epitaph ON Grave
Naroiia Told He Mus, No,
Use Words Black Hand
on Tombstone: Murder
Trials No; Vet Ended

Pedro Narotta, Of 354 East Thr-
teenth Street, told the police yestor-
day that he had received warning
from an unidentified Italian who he
believes is a member of the Black Hand
gang responsible for the death of his
-year-olds son, Giuseppi, not to
place a special stone which he had
ordered for his sons grave and which
tells the story of his sons death.
Narotta made arrangements a week
ago for the stone. On top of The mon
ument was to be An angel, and a like
ness Of little Giuseppe was 10 be carved
near the base. Beneath Tao head was
to be inscribed the following:
"Here lies the remains OF Giuseppe
Narotta, -yearold boy, who was
killed by the Black Hand. He was kid
354 East Thirteenth Street, on May
"a, 1921. and his body found in the
Hudson River on June II, 1921"
A day after Giuseppis father placed
his order with stonecutter he was
approached by an Italian whom he had
never seen before.
GIVE me an apple" tie stranger is
reported to have said to Narotts. who
was operating his pushcart. When
Narotta gave the man an apple, he was
told, Better not put Black Hand on
that monument"
Yesterday Narotta went to his sons
grave with Easter flowers. He said
that he was followed by another
stranger who attempted to pursuade
him to have the design of the proposed
stone changed.
He told the police that he was con-
I,tncoa that thic attc,rpf 70

manner in which his son had met death

going to leave New York and begin his
life anew in some small city in the

"Doubtless the German African
colonies would be able to support thrice
the present native population. Indeed
there is room there for $4,000 900
colored people now, and there will he
more room as development progresses.
German East Africa, Southwest Africa,
Iogoland and the Cameroons aggregate
an area of more than a million square
miles, rich in natural wealth and
aboundlng in the raw materials the
world sorely needs. Moreover, most of
them have zones suitable for white
settlers, but their tropical coastline
regions are entirely suitable for
colonlzation by millions of colored peo-
pie.
The largest zone, East Africa. con-
sists of $50, 900 square miles, about the
size of Alabama, Georgia the two
Carolinas, Florida, Virginia, Missis.

a population Of less than 5000 900.
Next is Southwest Africa, with 326 900

Of 100000. ~ g u VII
AS regard the attempt to colonize
Africa with the surplus American COL

way settle the vexed problem. and.
