The famous rum fleet operating out

striking distance of New York. seems
to be a fixture. 1t was announced the
other day that four new steamships

Needless 10 add, the. presence Of that

goes in the face of the United States
is an international scandal 1t is
scandalous that friendly foreign gov
ernments should permit for any rea-
son, such fragrant flouting of the
American prohibition laws
The ships are doubtless operating
legally as far as the strict letter of
their own national laws is concerned,
but there are considerations of COM
mon morality and international OBJ
legation that should be taken into ac-
count. The patronage Of the rum
ships, however by American SNUG
glers. and the widespread distribution
of the liquor in American territory
largely among supposedly respectable
citizens. is the greatest scandal.

CONFIDENCE AND COOPERATION.

Bulletin National City Bank.
THE prosperity of the American
people is in their own hands 1t is not
dependent upon what other people owe
us or may do to us, and only in minor
degree upon what other people may
buy for us. In the last year it has
been demonstrated that with some
moderate Establishments this country
can be quite fully employed regardless
of foreign conditions, and with a good
degree of prosperity all around. All
that is required is confidence and CO.
operation, but these are Indispensable.
For that matter, Europe lacks nothing
but these, and there can be no pros
perity anywhere without them.

exclusive photograph of the former
kaiser and his bride. taken at Doom,
Holland, on the afternoon Of the we'd
ding. November 5.
The photograph and the right for
reproduction has been much sought
after by all photographers, magazines
and newspapers, and the story Of its
sale by the former kaiser for special
reproduction in America is an inter-
esting one. Press photographers and
motion picture men from all over the
world flocked to DooTn at the time
of the wedding and many of them
have been in the vicinity for four
years, in hope of obtaining a good
picture of the former ruler, now in
exile. Guards surrounded the home
and some photographs taken at a
great distance were fndistinct and Of
poor quality for reproduction.
The deal for the wedding photo
graph was negotiated by a Keystone

Marshal Won Kagge, who tells his
story as follows:

stated that this was another OF those
clever camoufiages to put something
over on the camera men.
Even his fiancee, Princess Hermine,
who held very liberal views regard
ing press photographers and allowed
herself to be photographed quite often
in Germany after the engagement was
known, could not alter the former
kaiser's ideas. While the bride was
often snapped before and after the

wedding, the eX-kaiser was able to
escape the eye of the camera.
Then the former ruler, realizing
the profit made in circulating false
pictures of himself. suddenly changed
his mind and. figuring on increased
expenditures in the future, decided to
be Photographed, the same way as he
decided to write his memoirs and sell
same at once.
The photo was made by q Dutch
village photographer, quite an old
man, knowing very little about press
and publicity. 1t was arranged that
this man should deliver the negatives
and in fact, develop the same in
Doom.
"The picture was made at 8 pm. on
November 8. after the departure of
the guests. Not even his Dutch and
presence of this man, and his identity
was strongly guarded. The pho
tographer, being paid for the job.
hoped to photograph some of the
guests, and he bluntly asked the eX
kaiser after the pose, for permission
him that all guests had departed and
his job, for which he was hired, was
completed.

faith in his popularity with the Ger

PROVIDENCE. r. T.. January ~
Miss Mabel r. Wood. East Providence,
a teacher in the public schools of this
city, is firm believer in the eight
eenth amendment and would not
knowingly violate any of it's regula-

She reported the matter to the police,
who have little hope that the man
sitting next to Miss Wood on the

however, that the man will be cour-

TOXIC, January 12.-The American
government is requested to become
responsible for between twenty and
thirty thousand voluntary Russian
refugees now scattered about in help

Korea. China and Japan. Spiridon
Merkulov, former president of the
Japanese created "Vladivostok repub-
lic," who is now comfortably installed
in a Toxic hotel, makes the proposal
tc Charles 3. Warren, American am
baSsador
Merkulov's plan is that America
furnish the necessary ships and sup
plies to gather up all his followers
and transport them to the Philippines
or the winter, and that when the
weather nloderates the women, chill
dren and civilians be taken to the
United States, while the former SOL
diers among the refugees be landed

harassing the country. although the
bolSheviki promised amnesty to all of
the refugees except criminals.
The plight of the refugees is due to
circulars sent out by the Merkulov
government in Vladiwostok prophesy-
ing a general massacre by bolshevii5i
troops. As a result. thousands fol-
lowed him in his flight from that city.
Except Merkulov and his leaders who
are living in luxury in Japan, the
thousands of other refugees are now
facing death from freezing and starv-
alton.
After foreigners here started a re-
lief fund for the refugees in Japan
the JapaenSe government assumed
he responsibility of caring for a
'arge group which had reached Gen
san, Korea. Another group which had
seized twelve government ships at
Nladivostok reached Shanghai, where
the foreign colony took over the care
of 300 orphan children and gave the
refugees necessary supplies with
which to continue on to Hangkong,

BAKER WAS GREATEST
OF ALL HOCKEY STARS

"Hobey Baker generally is con-
ceded to have been the greatest of
United States hockey players Of all time.
Princeton's greatest athlete and the
exemplification of the highest type of
American sportsmanship. He sacri-
feed his life in France for the cause
of liberty and justice. Princetonians
regard the new skating rink. dedicat-
ed recently, as an especially fitting
to his name. since by means
of it they hope to return hockey at
Princeton to the same level it occu-
pied during "Hobey's" undergraduate
days.
At ST. Paul's School "Hobey'' Baker
was an all-around star. but especially
brilliant in the rink game. He start
ed his athletic career at Princeton in
1910 by winning the freshman foot
ball game from Yale with a brilliant
run for a touchdown, and also starred
on the yearling hockey and base ball
teams. During the next three years
he played halfback on the foot ball
eleven, being elected captain in his
senior year, but he was even more
sensational as a member of the Tiger
hockey sextet. He was chosen cap
tain of hockey in his junior year, but
declined reelection his last year.
After Princeton Baker continued his
hockey career with the st. Nicholas
Club, his record with this organiza-
tion being we'll known to followers of
the game. He was a great favorite of
hockey fans, not only in Princeton
and New York, but also in Boston and
New Haven, where large sums for his
memorial have been raised by exhibit
tion hockey contests played by Har-
ward. Yale, the Boston Athletic Asso-
citation and the St. Nicholas Club.
Bakers war record was equally as
credftable as that of his athletic DAYS
More than year before Americas
entry into the war he took up flying
with the idea of fitting himself for
service. and his opportunity came in
1871, when he went to France as a
first lieutenant, among the first of the
American pilots. He joined the La
fayette Escadrille. in which he soon
gained reputation for skill and dar-
ing. Later he commanded the 14lst
Aero Squadron with the rank of cap
tain, was officially credited with
bringing down three enemy planes
and was decorated with the croix de
guerre for exceptional valor under
nre He met his death accidentally
in flight at Toul, France, on Decem-
ber 26, 1918.
