whereas a man may be sent to • prison for two years for burglary I in one county, another may be ( sentenced to five years in another county for a similar offense. “These two men may meet in I one of our penitentiaries,’’ Major j Adams continued, "ami talk over; their troubles. The man who drew the five-year sentence feels that society has done him an injustice and a new hatred is born ! i within him." When this prisoner gets back ’ Ihis freedom, according to Major’ ' Adams, he carries a grudge and is I a new and fiercer menace to so-1 ; ciety. 0 Eighth Os Cleveland Employed On Strike Cleveland, April 25 — (UP) —■ Strikes and threatened strikes hung over Cleveland 'lndustry today. oiie-eigblh of the' city's 120.000 industrially employed were on the streets while city, .state , and federal mediators worked to bring agreement between employ-1 I ers and workers.

(U.R) Ships! jof the United States battle fleet 100 strong —gathered off Colon to-! day after a manoeuvre never be- ; fore attempted, passage at the' greatest possible speed through the: 1 Panama Canal under conditions I I approximating war. j The last ship cleared the canal ’ at the Atlantic at 5 a. m. today, and I the 110 ships of the armada were i at anchor off Colon.
