ALEXANDRIA GETS
SHIP D|SMANT[|NG

Alexandria will have the work Of
dismantling all of the ELL wooden
vessels now lying In the James river,
which were built for the United
States. during the war and recently
purchased from the Shipping Board
by George d. Perry, attorney. Of San
Francisco. for the Western Marine
and Salvage Company. it was def
nitely learned yesterday from Raymond
Baker. former director Of the mint.
Mr.. Baker Is president Of the Trent
Amalgam Company, which has leased
the plant of the Virginia Shipbuilding
Corporation at Alexandria, from the
receivers and in turn practically has
completed negotiations for releas-
ing the plant to the Western Marine
and Salvage Company. which will
scrap all the ships there, dismantling
them completely and sending the en-
gines to the Pacific coast, to be used
in hulls which previously were bought
from the Shipping Board without any
clause forbidding their use as ocean
freighters. as is the case with these
ships.
The present plan. according to Mr..
Baker, is to have the ships towed up
the Potomac from the James river
and break them up as fast as they
can be handled. The dockyards at
alexandria are capable of taking
care of ten ships at a time. and the
present arrangements are to put ESQ
men on the ships. which Will mean a
total employment for approximately
$500 men in Alexandria in the next
few months.
1t is understood that the final con-
tract will be ready for signing during
the middle OF this week, and, accord
ing to Mr.: Baker. work will proceed
Immediately thereafter. Mr. Baker
last night had a conference with
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board in regards to the removal Of
the Georgia Morse. the last of the
steel ships to be built for the Ship
ping Board during the war, which
was never completed. This hull is
still obstructing the entrance to the
Alexandria yards, and it is planned
to have 1t towed down the Potomac
to make way for the wooden ships
as they are brought up.

There were intimations today in
government circles that a project for
complete withdrawal of American
troops from the Rhine was again un-
der consideration, but that no decision
was expected for several days.
No authorized statement as to the
reasons prompting renewed discussion
OF the subject at this time was availa-
BILE, nor would any responsible official
forecast what course would be adopted.
In this connection 1t was recalled
that Ambassador Houghton at Berlin
had asked American ministers to the
various central European powers to
meet in conference in Berlin next week
and had invited Maj. Gen. Allen. COM

The announced purpose of the con-

and jointly discuss problems of
american relations. but it appears
possible that the question of with
drawal from the Rhine may also be

The Most Beautiful

OF course, there were hundreds
who disagreed with the experts" at
Atlantic City. When a group Of
Judges pick for the prize beauty Of
all America hazel eyes and auburn
hair and 1913 pounds they must ex-
pect wailing and groaning from
hordes and hordes of connoisseurs.
Their only consolation can be that
the consequences would have been
quite as evil had they chosen last
years prize winner, "a beautiful
blond slip Of girl with blue eyes"
Or any other, a slip or an armful.
There may be such a thing as a
standard Of beauty in statuary or
postage stamps or kitchen stoves
There is apparently none when it
comes to humans. Racial taste
varies as widely as the color Of skins
and the curliness of hair. Between
nations there are divergences be-
yond explaining. Here in America,
or within any nation, each section
has its favorite type. And within
each section and neighborhood there
is quite as much disagreement.
All Of which is an admirable de-
sign OF nature to make us contented
with our lot, no doubt. If Italians
could abide very tall, fiaxen-haired
blondes and the French must have
their beauty long and solemn and
the English could not eat break
fast unless their wives were petite
and sprightly, the world would be a
great deal more peevish than it is.
AS it is, save at beauty contests,
men Of all faiths go away contented
even those Grabbed souls who OBJ
Ject to all beauty because it dis
tracts their attention from the seri
Gus business of getting acquainted.

whose richest school is the public

satisfaction more enduring than that
Of the movies and the street cor
ners. It is to such as these that
New York owes a rich service of

surely as much as Chicago and
Newark give.

The Wet-Dry Poll

The final returns of "The Literary
Dlgest's" poll on prohibition have
been tabulated. Out of approximate
ly a million votes 4O.8 per cent
favor modification of the present
laws, 20.6 per cent favor repeal of
the prohibition amendment and 1856
per cent favor strict enforcement.
Two questions arise in discussing
this verdict. Was the straw vote
fairly representative Of the nations
feeling? Did the form of the ballots
permit an unequivocal answer?
The first question may be an
sWered more or less affirmatively.
Ballots were mailed to 1O,O00,OOO
voters in all parts of the country
Experience with such polls shows
That a return of 10 per cent is
unusually good. In view of the strong
feeling of most people on this cues
ton it may be assumed that there
was no concerted effort on the part
OF drys or vets to have those who
received missionaries vote or re-
frain from voting. Certain individ-
uals carried on an active propa-
ganda among their friends. But an
opportunity was given to a large
portion of the public to express an
opinion; and from week to week. as
new returns came in, the variation
was SO small as to make it plain that
the poll accurately reflected the sen.
tlment of a cross-section of the cleo
torate.
10 the second question an af1rma-
tive answer can also be given. 1t has
been claimed that the formula "Do
you favor modification of the exist-
ing laws so as to permit the intro
duction of light wine and beer?" was
not sufficiently specific. They saw
that much depended upon the con-
tlngent circumstances. Those who
favor modification may not favor the
return of saloons, for example. To
most people, however, the question
seems clear enough. The answer to
it, on its face value, shows opposition
to the law.
The poll, therefore, must be taken
as favorable to the vets and as on
posed to Volsteadism as it is at
present.

Private Plumber

Justice Cropscy projected some
light into the dark places of public
markets management when he Ia
sued an injunction against the use
of pnshcart peddlers' fees TO pay the
salaries and allowances Of supervis-
ors and their assistants. He not
only held that it was illegal to pay
these city officials out of the fees
they collected, but added caustical-
": aThe statute which authorized
the collection of these fees was in
tended to be source of public profit
and not Of private plumber"
The peddlers' fees should go to
the sinking fund, Justice Cropsey
ruled. The charter provides that
all city officials except marshals
shall have salaries fixed by the APP
propriating branch of the city gov
eminent. The market supervisors
are therefore maintained irregu-
larly. Investigation indicates also
that their accounts, such as they
keep, are not very satisfactorily
audited.
The peddlers have suffered under
the present system. The city also
suffers under it. 1t is time to en-
force the law and to follow the char
ter in regulating both The hawkers
and their regulators.

E.vacuatiug .S;ber;s

AN echo of the Washington con-
terence has come from Russia. AL
shough the Japanese occupation of
portions of the former Siberian fer.
rleory now claimed by the Far East
ern Republic was not on the agenda
OF the conference, it was one of the
side issues having an important re-
iation to the general settlement in
tne far East. That this occupation
IS at last terminating is reported in
Moscow, where it is expected that
tne japanese will even evacuate
Vladivostok.
1t Is this last point which is of
greatest interest to the Soyiets
Their relations with the Far East
ern Republic have been sufficiently
close tor them to dream of extending
Their power over the entire territory
OF the empire. In such domination
viadlvostok is of vital Importance.
AC Is the principal outlet upon navi-
gable waters for the eastern portion
OF Siberia. AS base for trading it
IS therefore invaluable; and as a
possible military base it can be an
uncomfortable threat against the
Japanese.
1t is possible that the Moscow au-
thorities are oyeroptimistic. 1t is
not to be expected that the Japanese
will permit yladivostok to be useA
against them. In withdrawing their
troops from parts Of the Far East
ern Republic they are fulfilling their
obligations and serving their own in
terests- But Vladivostok is il. d DIFF

any desire to join the Far Eastern

times opposed. by the Japanese. For

year has American golf discovered
a pair like Gene Sarazen, the open
champion, and Jesse Sweetser?
Only nine years ago, at the
Country Club in Brookline, Francis
Ouimet, STRIPPING, humhled Vardon
and Ray. Now Ouimet is spoken Of
as an old man. Tired out, he fell
before the Sioux City youngster
Rudy Knepper. Only Evans and
the athletic Gardner among the old
timers who are tottering into the
thirties are still playing their game.
Bobby Jones, now just about grown
up, is always near winning the title,
with everybody's best wishes, but at
the last moment Sweetser or some
body bobs up and, playing against
Bobby. breaks the course record, so
that he has to wait for next year.
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay
never reached the Presidency, but
they were great men, and Jones is a
great golfer.
The British visitors were no more
successful at Brookline than the
American amateurs usually are when
the scene is over the water. Playing
in strange setting far from home
is large handicap, however friendly
the gallery. Cyril Tolley, delight
fully John Bullish sportsman, who
went the furthest of his country
men, put up a strong fight. Had he
won, his victory would not have been
begrudged.
Players who learned their game on
public links or as caddies gave a
very good account of themselves.
Aulbach, Beadle and McPhail meas
ured irons with the best. Golf be-
comes more and more national and
international. There is no monopoly
of skill by any locality or by few
leisured experts. New York is in
luck this year, and will be happy to
stand pat for the time being on Jesse
Sweetser, of Ardsley and Siwanoy.
