FUTURE IS DARK FOR OCEAN LINE K. • Hamburg-American’s Outlook ,Far From Rosy. LONDON, Mar. 19—The Hamburg correspondent of the London Evening Standard Quotes Herr Buldermann, director of the Hamburg-American line, as saying the future 'was black and that the company would have to start In a small way and work In conjunction with other companies. The steamship Bismarck, of 20,000 tons, was nearly finished, he added, and the Tlrpltz, of 20,000 tons, which was In the process of construction, must be handed over to the allies as soon as completed. “The question of tonnage is difficult and depends on the ability of German shipyards to turn out ships,'’ continued Herr Huldermann. “The coal question is acute, and the falling mark threatens to strangle us just as it will strangle all of Germany’s commercial construction, unless something is speedily done.” Herr denied rumors that Americans had obtained an interest in the line, declaring it still was completely German. JOHN BELL PATS MOKE. According to the London Labor Gazette, prices of wearing apparel in Great Britain are about 300 per cent higher than in 1914.

Our Men Becoming Mollycoddles? What’s That? Not in Indianapolis “Are American men growing more effeminate and the women more masculine?” Not in Indianapolis, say prominent persons who are in a position to observe such a change.

Sir Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, cast n slur on American manhood recently in a statement that American youths are becoming effeminate and vnmannlsh. This leading exponent of mental deduction was inspired by certain social informs that have come to pass in America. That the same thought has occurred here ia America Is evidenced by a subsequent statement by Dr. William J. Hickson, head of the psychopathic laboratory in Chicago. YIELDING TO WOMEN IIIS OBJECTION. “The male today,” said Dr. Hickson, “is inferior in most respects to the female. He Is aping her In the matter of clothes—wearing, tight-flttlng skirted coats. He bows to her legislation and voguely whoops it up for her reforms.” “There is no basis for comparison of the sexes,” said Mrs. Joseph B. Ketllng, 1424 North Alabama street, social leader and suffrage worker. “In my opinion American men are ss big and broad and splendid as ever. I resent the assertion thst American women are becoming mas.

euline. That's Just propaganda. Women could not change their natures if they wanted to. “I think men who make such statements have not come into contact with representative American men. The real American man docs not wear a tight-fitting, skirted coat, but sensible clothes, and he is the most admirable type on earth in my opinion.” Col. Robert Moorhead, who commanded the 139th field artillery regiment In the war, declared the idea of a trend toward the unmanly In American youths the height of absurdity. “Those men are absolutely wroug,” he said. “We sow no evidence of lost virility among American men In the war. We learned, rather, that they are Just as formidable, when compelled to assert primitive strength and courage, as they have been throughout the nation's history. I believe there has been no change tt all.” Dr. C. E. Bacon, district superlntendent of the Methodist Episcopal t*hurch,

feels that any comparison of the sexes is misleading. Said he: “I believe that masculine and feminine natures retain their characteristics eternally. Such remarks as that of Sir Conan Doyle must be facetious. They are not logical. Women are entering business life and are learning the arts of men, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that men are becoming effeminate Just because they are courteous enough to help women." TELES WHY WOMEN PUSH IN STREET CARS. Col. A. W. Foreman, an assistant chief of staff at army headquarters is quoted j in Boston as arraigning women for their uewly acquired masculine propensity for pushing in street cars. He attributes thla new trait to the experience women have gained in working and In riding In rush hours. “We ought to share with women the opportunity of keeping them feminine in their methods,” the colonel says, "but this pushing and knocking one another about in crouds rushing for seats in a car Is enough to remind one we are living in a different age.” The colonel's criticism is confined to Boston, and he says ho has never found such conditions elsewhere. Harry B. Smith, adjutant general of Indiana, snorted his disapprobation of the British knlgbt's theory. “Out of one hundred and ten millions of people you will be sure to find some men who are mollycoddles,” he said. "I shouldn’t be surprised If some of those American youths Sir Conan Doyle has

met in London clubs are of that stripe. But as a whole American manhood will grade higher than that of any nation on earth, I think. “As for American women becoming more masculine, I only know they become more admirable the longer you know them.” LANDLORD LIMITS TOTS. AKRON, March 19.—Speaking of profiteers and other crooks—an apartment house owner here inserts this clause in his rental contracts: "To be used for dwelling purposes by a lather, mother and not more than two children.

Army Rail Methods to Be Used in Canada WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March 19.—Utilization of tbe railway construction and engineering skill, which made the Canadian army railway corps famous on Flanders fields, in the development of Manitoba’s mineral resources is imminent? Assistance in tbe construction of a narrow guage railway, from Great Falls on the Canadian National Railway into the Rice lake gold mining camp, is forecasted by the provincial public works de>artment It will be built on lines

similar to those used in transporting heavy guns and munitions to the front behind the trenches during the war. provided the development now In progress at Rice lake warrants, for the purpose of transporting machinery to the mines. At present only gold is sought there, but some smelting copper ores have been located, and if these are proven to be extensive enough to pay, a standard gauge railway will follow.
