325 SHIPS TO BE BURNED.
Huge Bonfire Will End Career of
Wartime Fleet.

Fire will blaze the final chapter in
the history of 235 wooden ships built
as a war measure and which have
been stripped of their engines and
other metal. The vessels, except
35 of them, are at Tidewater,
Va, in a special anchorage assigned
by the Bureau of Navigation of the
Department of Commerce.
1t was said at the offices of the
Western Marine and Salvage Co, at
Alexandria, today that it is not yet
known when these vessels will be
fired. but it probably will be in about
60 days. Before the firing is
started It will be necessary to con-
struct a large inclosure of wire net
ting, large enough to take 81
ships at time. This precaution
is required to prevent the burning
debris from getting into the channel
and endangering vessels proceeding
up and down the river.

STARVATION AHEAD.

Population figures are often curious things,
and over-population figures are still more
curious. For example, here is a syndicated
article going around, headed Population
Limits, with the alarming subhead, ''Year
2100 Will See u. S. With Maximum Number
of People It can Support"
A certain DR.. Raymond Pearl, credited with
this distressing statement, is said to estimate
the maximum population at 197,000,000 to be
attained on the aforesaid date.
Just what mysterious methods of computa-
tion are used to postpone population of 1877
100000 people so long as It's years the writer
does not explain. Neither does he explain by
what standards of food consumption and agri-
cultural productivity so vast and rich coun-
try as the United States can feed so few
people.
1t will be reason for establishment if many
Americans already born do not see that maxi
mum" figure reached and passed before they
die. AS for supporting capacity, with the more
intensive cultivation and improved methods of
production that another generation or two
should bring, it would be surprising if one or
two Of our states alone could not feed 1877
100000 people if they had to.
Never was there more nonsensical theory,
if accepted and applied literally, than the cele-
civilization to feed itself, particularly in
America, as long as 1T continues civilized. And
if its civilization wanes, war and disease may
be trusted to reduce the population to support
able numbers.

THE FLIVVER SQUAD.

Someone has suggested that the county sof
Kenosha should employ a squad of deputy
sheriffs to be known as "the fivver squad"
and TO be used in the winter when the patrol
ing of highways by the motorcycle method
would be nearly impossible. 1t has been sug-
gested that crimes, such as the recent Sears
Latimer murder mystery, might be prevented
If it was known that a sheriff's car was on the
highways ready to apprehend any criminals.
In it's fivver, this squad, it is said, would be
able to go from one end of the county to the
other and thereby lessen the possibilities of
highway crimes. ae
So far the suggestion is good but it doesn't
go far enough. If a flivver squad is put on the
highways why limit it's activities to curling
any particular class of crimes. Why not let
it operate to see that the lawis being enforced
at the various roadhouses that are dotting the
heavily travelled highways of Kenosha county.
1t is fine thing to protect the people of the
county against highway crimes, of which the
Sears-Latimer murder mystery stands out as
an example But such crimes are relatively in
frequent Night in and night out, however,
the taverns, if they are violating the laws,
stand as hazard to the young men and the
young women of this community.
Yes, flivver squad would be a good thing
providing it is really put on the roads to en-
force all of the laws.

TRAINING FOR INDEPENDENCE.

Great Britain was forced, by native resist
ance in Mesopotamia, to stop treating that
country as a crown colony and handle it, &C
cording to her pledges, as mandatory under
the League Of Nations. Now France gives
signs of doing the same thing for Syria
The League Covenant provided, in Article
XXI, that "C1ass Az manufactures should have
merely advice and assistance" from the
powers placed in charge of them, with view
to ultimate recognition of their independence.
Their provisional independence was assumed
from the start.
France, as the world now realizes, took that
provision with large grain of salt, and tried
to subdue Syria by force to the status Of a
French colony. Now, as the miitaristic Gen.
Sarrail goes back to France, there goes to take
charge of Syria civilian commissioner who
announces that he intends to regard his func-
tions as little more than advisory" AT the
same time Foreign Minister BRAND, himself a
liberal, explains that he wants Syria given as
much autonomy as possible.
The status of those "mandatories' is thus
the same status that the United Staes has
given to the Philippines, which Uncle Sam, as
he has repeatedly declared, is training for COM
plete self-government.

TREES, LIVING AND DEAD.

It cannot be assumed that all the world loves
a tree. We still find a surprising disregard
for trees, and sometimes even an apparent
hostility to them.
California is still struggling, against big
odds, to save it's principal redwood forests.
Many fine old forests throughout the coun-
try have been preserved only by recourse to
federal action.

and city commissioners arranged to sell 80
stately walnut trees, among the largest and
oldest in the state, to St. Louis lumber firm,

There was time when forests had to be
cleared, to make way for crops and dwellings.
But in most sections that time is long past.
Yet it is incredibly hard to persuade lot of
people that nowadays, in any populous COM
munity, living tree is worth many times as

beat is not hazardous, yet he never knows
what minute he may be expected to risk his
life in the protection Of the lives and property
of others.
In view of these things it is no wonder that
the members of these two departments think
that their wages might be boosted notch
without any danger that the city would be
overpaying them. If the city exchequer can
stand the increase at all, it should be given
most careful consideration and some increase
granted if possible.

BUILDING BETTER ROADS.

Kenosha county took commendable stand
recently when through the action OF the coun-
ty board of supervisors it decided to go ahead
with its road building program despite the
fact that the state of Wisconsin is not yet
ready to furnish the funds for this work. Ulti-
nateIy of course it is expected that the state
will paw for the roads which are being built on
state highways but the county is advancing
the money to carry out the projects at the
present time and thereby prevent delay IN
the road building plans for Kenosha county.
This has ever been the policy of Kenosha
county in regard TO road building. Some coun-
ties wait supinely until the state doles out the
money to build state highways and in the
meantime progress in these counties IS re-
tarded. Kenosha county would have had a
more Just reason than almost any of these to
EXPECT that the state would build the high
ways here Highway so is one of the heaviest
travelled highways in the state and there is
every reason why this should be paved this
year out of state funds. The state funds, how
ever. only provided enough to build a very
small section of this road without any refer
ence to the other highways. By advancing
the interest on the money Kenosha county
proceeds at once with the continuance OF the
paving on the Geneva road and at the same
time carries on some much needed projects IN
paving on Highway SO and 43, both also state
highways.
By the time the state gets around to paying
the money the roads will have been completed
Tt will have cost Kenosha county a few thou
sand dollars in interest but the taxpayers will
have had the use of the highways which will
far more than pay for this.
The road committee, the highway commits
sioner and any state highway officials who
helped to plan out this method of financing a
road program are to be commended.
Kenosha county has ever kept in the van
guard in Wisconsin when it came to the matter
of road building and the action of the present
county board shows that it will continue to do
So Good roads have helped greatly in mark
ing Kenosha county as one of the prosperous
and really progressive counties of the state. In
road building, Kenosha county has acted and
not waited for the state to act.

ASKING AN INCREASE.

Policemen and firemen of Kenosha have filed
with the city council a request for an increase
in wages, maintaining that the present sched-
ule is not really a living wage and that prices
have gone up to such an extent that an in
crease in salary is warranted.
There are many things to be said in favor
of the fremen and the policemen in regard to
this increase in salary. These men are re-
quired to buy certain uniforms in keeping
with their positions as city officers There
are no bargain sales on these uniforms or
overcoats; the price remains up no matter
when the uniform is bought. More than that,
there are inspections which these men must
stand and their uniforms must be spick and
span; tney can't make last years suit do an
other month or SO no matter how much they
may desire to do it.
In both of these branches of service, these
men are employed in hazardous occupations. A

risk his life to save others. It is his duty to

A BOY WHO GOT AHEAD.

There is a worth while lesson for
other boys and young men in the story
of George H. Jones, who last week
was elected chairman of the board of
directors of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey, one of the "big" posi-
tions in the industrial world. Nearly
forty years ago this man Jones, when
only fifteen years old, was compelled
to go to work in order to help out the
family fnancies. He got a job as
Office boy, for which he received the
modest sum of So week. One of his
duties was to get to the Office at in
the morning through the winter in
order to start the fire and sweep. With
such long hours he might have
thought he was entitled to pay at the
end. of the day. But he had different
ideas, and he spent his spare time
studying stenography. When he was
eighteen he, secured a position with
one of the subsidiaries of the Stand
ard Oil company. According to his as
sociates he always attracted, the at
tention of those about him by the
quality of his work. He was indus
trious and dependable. He gave his
best thought to his job, with the re-
suit that soon he was picked for pro-
motion. Steadily he forged ahead, I'M
til low, artery thirty-fve years serv-
ice, he has been chosen as the direct
ing head ( the great Standard Oil
organization.
Other boys have won success in ex-
actly the same manner. In fact, a
large portion of the men who make
their mark in business and finance
travel practically this same road, the
only difference being with details of
their experience. And there are just
as many opportunities today as there
ever were-in fact, more, because of
the constantly enlarging field and the
greater call for the services of men
who are qualified, and who are trust
worthy and reliable and are not afraid
of hard work.-Oshkosh Northwestern.
