broken up in a week. To destroy a
great baiileship is an expensive mailer
md al least half. million dollars goes
at the foot Of the bill.
Consequently the big vessel for de-
struction is FIRST Of all paid of. and with
nucleus crew steams round 10 her last
port where she waits further orders.
There are many such vessels in what is
known at the Rotten Rows of the
dockyards. Some Of them will be strip
ped of all their fittings and their guns
1elted down; sold maybe for recondi-
tioning as freighters in the case Of light
cruisers, others sold to such foreign
countries as the Treaty Of Washington
allows.
Many Of the fittings OF these monster
war vessels repay their original placing
in the battleships: Range finders can
be used in garrison forts which over
look the sea. compasses, winches. steam
launches, hydraulic derricks. telephone
systems, searchlighis can and are being
used again in newly built vessels or
sold TO the merchant service.
The actual position resulting from the
conference as regards the capital ships
in service Of Great Britain and America
10 date is as follows:
Capital Ships-America. 81.
Capital Ships-Creat Britain. %.
But America must scrap one battle
ship and seven battle cruisers with Bri-
tain scrapping four batileships already
built. so that in capital ships, the two
navies will not be widely different.
In destrOyers, America leads Great
Britain. but in light cruisers England
remains far supreme.

No. 1t is not exactly circus or a

nator of the snakesfor-pets idea. and it
is he" being Chester Hughes.
Hughes, a geological student in the
state university here, who will receive his
A. B. degree at the close Of the present
summer session, is believed to be the
first student in the state to have snakes
for pets. He has l3-water snakes, gar
ter snakes, and pilot snakes. He feeds
them small frogs and mice
Hughes allows the snakes to roam
about his room, where he keeps them,
and often has TO look all over the place
to find them. Each snake has name.
and Hughes says he believes the snakes
know when he calls them by name.

there will be paeeantry and wonderful
displays OF strange and curious wild
beasts, and hours upon hours Of thrills
and laughter and spectacular delights:
and then just as rapidly as it came the
big show will vanish in the mists of the
night, and circus day will be only a
memory. Ii is this marvellous system
that enables a big tent show like John
Robinsons to exhibit in different city
every day. without in the least curtailing
the exhibition, thai makes the modern
circus so wonderful.
The slow will be unloaded at the

mehis of the big show will be trans

No otEer circus. it is declared. has
ever given 4 more complete arenic ex-
hibiiion or one that appealed so irresist
IDLY to lovers of the old-time circus
mOdernized and brought down to date.
A notable feature of the show is the ex-
ceptionally large number Of clever
young women presented in the various
displays. In the John Robinson show
the circus girl is said to be everywhere
in evidence. The three herds Of ele.
plants are exhibited by clever and
fearless lady trainers; there are girl
acrobats and gymnasts and contortion-
lists; there are girl riders, not only in
the principal equestrian numbers, but
also in the whirlwind riding which
furnishes a score of beautifully Cos
tuned circus girls giving an aerial
ballet while suspended by their teeth.
These, it is announced, are only
few Of the striking performances given
in the show by clever young women,
and. ef course, there are many other big
and thrilling acts, including children's
circus. with all kinds Of trained animals
and fifty merry clowns. The opening
spectacle forms an attractive introduc-
lion to the circus program. Adv.

COAL
COAL

COAL tOAL
What about the prospects for coal in
Columbia this winter?
We understand some parties soliciting
coal orders in town have stated there
would be no Illinois coal shipped into
Columbia this winter. We do not fear
honest competition in business, in fact,
il spurs us on to greater efforts, but We
doubt very much if there was ever a
successful business built up by decep-
ton and falsehOOds.
What are the facts?
The Illinois coal miners went to work
last Wednesday and are rushing the
production of coal 10 the limit. We
buy our coal from two Of the largest
operators in Illinois; one of these CON-
panies has a record Of three hundred and
ninety 1901 cars of coal loaded in one
day; six trains of 65 cars each. The
other company not only owns its mines
in four different towns but owns a rail-
road from these mines in TO ST. Louis
where their coal is turned over to the
terminal company.
This company has been in business
ifty-eight years. They tell us there is
no doubt that they will be able to take
care Of our needs. Under these condi-
tions we think there is no cause for
alarm, or that anyone need to be per-
suaded to buy low grade coal at a high
price due to unreliable information.

HARDING HOPES
FOR TRIP To
alaska
Details, However, Of Summer
Excursion Cannot Be Com
pIeted Now.

Unless prevented by administra.
tive exigencies, President Harding
hopes to make his long delayed trip
to Alaska early next summer, It
was learned today. At the same
time he wants to visit the farming
communities of the middle and far
West.
Detailed plans for the trip have
not been completed and all the
negotiations are in the nebulous
stage, the President feeling that he
cannot now decide definitely to visit
the northwest until his whole Ad-
ministration program has been clear
ed up. As last summer, when he
planned the trip. circumstances may
necessitate a postponement this year.
For this reason none of the arrange.
ments, thus far tentative, will be an
nounced until later.
The President is deeply interested
in the development Of Alaska. For a
long time he has studied conditions
there, as brought to him personally
by Government Investigators. He
has devoted entire Cabinet sessions
lately to discussion Of proposals
whereby the rich, natural resources
Of the northwest could be utilized
more adequately, and at the same
time the country opened up for
greater settlement and more perma-
nent prosperity. 1t is now his wish
to go into the territory personally to
learn the methods as to how best
this end can be obtained.
While considering plans for the
Alaskan trip, the President hopes to
have his affairs in such shape by
March that he can take Mrs. Hard.
ing to Florida for a much needed
rest. Physicians have ordered that
as soon as Mrs. Harding is strong
enough she must go to q less rigor.
GUS climate than Washington to re.
gain her health completely. Only an
extra session Of q new Congress, II
was stated, will now force canceila-
tion Of the plans for the Florida
vacation this spring.

PARIS, Dec. 25.-Sarah
Bernhard, world famous act
ress, is dying, according to a
report here this morning. Ply
sicians, who are in constant at
tendance at her bedside, are
said to hold little hope of the
aged woman living more than a
few hours.
Relatives of the famous act
ress have been summoned and
are at her bedside.
The illness of Nine. Bern
hardt started last week with
a fainting spell just before the
opening of Sacha Guitry's new
play here. At first her ill
ness was not considered serious
and the famous actress insisted
she would be back on the stage
in a few days.
A severe cold set in and other
complications arose. However,
the sickness was thought to
have been overcome Saturday.
Yesterday morning, however,
the actress suffered a relapse.
1t was reported here today
that only the courage of the
actress is keeping her alive.
She is making a brave fight for
life, but her physicians mo-
mentarily expect her death.

The peaceful passage Of Ar. and
Mrs. Elmer v. Carr, middle-aged
couple, TO Christmas services at
Calvary M. e. Church, was rudely
interrupted at 10 o'clock last night
when they were confronted at
Eleventh street and Columbia road
by two armed negro footpads, who
covered them with automatic pis-
tolls and whispered: "Give us your
money or we will kill you."
On Way To Church
Mr.. and Mrs. Carr were walking
from their home at TAI Hobart
place to the church situated be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets on Columbia road. when the
bold though unsuccessful attempt
was made. Mrs. Carr. still much
wrought up this morning. over her
experience. said that she believed
that the pair had trailed them for
several blocks and waited until they
entered a patch Of darkness to hold
them UP.
While one Of the gunmen pointed
the pistol at Mrs. Carr's head the
other grappled with the husband
and started going through his poe
kets. Carr cried out for assistance
and attracted the attention Of sew
era1 pedestrians nearby and the
two negroes took flight and made
off.

BRITISH POLICY
AIMS TO GUT
DEBTS
Bonar Law Hopes ParIey Will
Find Basis for Allied
Agreement.
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
Interna tional News Service.

LONDON. DEC. 25.-The atten.
ton of British statesmen Is focused
today on two forthcoming confer
ences. each involving the most I'M
portant issues. that Of the policy and
prosperity of the nation.
Premier A. Bonar Law il giving all
his time to the tariff and reparations
conference. He is hopeful that this
conference will evolve the basis for
an agreement which will mark for.
ward step in stabilizing European
finances. The premier declines to
discuss his plans, but 1t is understood
he is prepared to reiterate Great
Britain's willingness to reduce the
allies debts to England IL the bur.
dens of Germany's reparations are
lessened.
Stanley Baldwin. chancellor Of the
excheouer. will sail for the United
States next Wednesday. He will go
to Washington to confer with the
American officials on a plan for
funding Great Britain's debt to the
United States.
This conference, from a business
and industrial standpoint Of view, is
q very important one, according to
British statesmen. A satisfactory
settlement, 1t is said, would result
in lightning the burdens Of taxation
and permit Industrial expansion
This latter would relieve the unem
ployment situation.
Baldwin Is reticent regarding his
trip to the United States and de
clines to reveal the proposals he ID
authorized to make to the United
States government.
