CARGO SOON DISCHARGED.
Steamship Wilhelmina Will Load
With Coal at Chesapeake Bay Port.

Having made a quick discharge of
about 5000 tons of phosphate rock at the
pier of the Alexandria Chemical and
Fertilizer Company at Alexandria, the
Bull line steamship Wilhelmina has gone
to Chesapeake bay coal port to load the
fuel for Tampa or some other south At
lantic port. The ship arrived at Alexan-
dria late Monday evening. but soon after
being locked her patches were opened
and the work of taking out her cargo was
started. With gangs of men working
from fourteen to sixteen hours a day the
vessel was discharged Thursday and that
afternoon she started down the river to
load at Norfolk or Newport News. The
unloading plant of the Alexandria ferti-
liZer company wharf can discharge more
than thousand tons of phosphate rock
day. The Wilhelmina will probably re-
turn to Alexandria with another cargo
of the rock by the middle of March.

Inaugural Parade and Station Plaza

10 the Editor OF The star:
I suggest that the inaugural parade be
extended to and around the plaza in front
of Union station, which would add but
little to the length of the route as al
ready announced. but which would add
vastly to the accommodation of the peo-
pie.
This suggestion is offered for the fol-
lowing reasons: % The great open
space there would permit thousands to
see the parade who otherwise would be
unable to witness it; CO. reviewing
stands could be erected back On the large
vacant lots i'm the immediate vicinity of
the station, thus affOrding a viewpoint
for other thousands, and the rental of
seats would amount to considerable
sum; CD, next to the plaza in front of
the Capitol. no other place probably in
the city affords such a suitable gathering
place for great multitude as does the
station plaza, and it would be too bad
not to utilize it on this occasion; az, a
vast concourse of citizens from all parts
of our country. an enormous crowd, will
be here on Inauguration day. all desiring
to view the parade. to see and bid fare
we'll to the outgoing President and to see
and bid welcome to the incoming Presi-
dent. And so far as possible, within
reason, the people should be accom-
mOdated. w. LETTERMAN SMITH.

PREDICT SPREAD OF STRIKE.
Work on Two Large Chicago Build
ings Now Tied Up.

CHICAGO, January 1S.-Labor leaders
today predicted that the sympathetic
strike begun yesterday, when 800 men
walked out and tied up construction work
on two large buildings i'm the downtown
district. would spread unless the firm
said to be responsible for the trouble set
ties it's differences with the unions.
The men learned that building stone
which had been ordered from Georgia
had been handled by stone cutters who
belonged to a union not affiliated with
the American Federation OF Labor.
They demanded that a local contract
ing firm cancel it's order for such stone
When this demand was refused the strike
resulted.

Future of Labor.

Huge industrial disputes which will
dwarf the great strikes of the past are
likely to occur in the near future. ac-
cording to Mr.. Ben Tillett Having Just
completed an organizing tour Of the coun-
try on behalf of the transport workers,
Mr.. Tillett gave his views of the new
year prospects upon his return to London
THE next few years of the present
century, he said, ARE going to be
fraught with important happenings for
labor. and 1t is more than likely that
1913 will see the beginning Of the work
ers' real struggle with the dominant
forces at present arrayed against them
Younger men are rising UP impregnated
with the socialist ideal-they are full OF
energy and initiative. One of their first
efforts will be toward combination.
I'VE have already done something In
that direction among the transport work
ers; the railwaymen are fusing into one
organization; other industries are similar
ly preparing. and the conviction is grow
ing that there will be bigger strikes In
the near future than anything that has
occurred in the past.
1.-The day Is not far distant" he added
when the economy of the state will be
freed from such applications as cotton

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, January 10, 1918.
The Prince Of Wales is rejoicing, for he
is to lose his mentor. Mr.. Hansell. the
watchdog who, at the bidding Of Queen
Mary, has been logging his every step
at Oxford no less vigilantly than when
he was in the midst of the temptations
of Paris. It is not because of the young
princes own exemplary conduct that he
is to be relieved of the presence of Mr..
Hansel, but because he happens to have
a younger brother, Prince Albert. who
needs watching far more. and becaus.
it has been impossible in the whole
United Kingdom to find man equally
suitable to the task of keeping the
younger, far more lively prince on the
narrow and straight path of virtue and
righteousness.
1t is said that Mr.. Hansell, whose task
one, Is anything but happy at the pro-
posed change. Prince Albert has prom
ised to give him run for his money.
The stories which some of his Fellow
cadets tell about his escapades are not
of a nature to relieve Mr.. Hansell's anX-
iety. If these stories are true the official
cerberus will not find it sufficient to
watch Prince Albert's door after bed
time, for the younb prince is as agile as
monkey and has practiced the art OF
swarming up and down a rope until he Is
sure that as long as he is allowed to keep
his bedsheets and his windows are not
barred nothing will prevent him from In

Recovery of Royal Secrets.

In spite Of the official depials, which
are no more sincere than the official as
sertions concerning the Dublin crown
jewels. the fact remains that all the pri-
vate and state correspondence of Georges
III and Nv were actually found in a Sc
cret wall in one of the cellars of Apsley
House. near Hyde Park corner. and under
cover Of the night carted to Windsor Cas-
tie a couple of weeks ago. Everybody
at Windsor knows that the kings IL
brarian ever since New Year has spent
the better part of every day and many
hours of the nights over a mysterious
task in a carefully guarded room to
which King George has been a frequent
visitor. 1t is beyond any doubt that this
room contains the precious papers which,
OF course. must contain many interest
ing secrets of state as well as probably
also letters throwing new light on the
FitZherbert romance.
There is nothing strange in the fact
that these papers have been found at
Apsley House. which was the family
mansion of the Duke Of WELLINGTON. For
the duke was the trustee Of George Nv
and nothing has ever been heard of the
papers since they were given into his
care.

An automobile is a complicated ma

simple. An explosive vapor Is introduced
into a cylinder and ignited by an electric
spark. The force of expanding gases
drives the engine. The complexity is not
IN the principle of.its power. but in the
mechanism necessary to apply it.
The principle of a sound banking sys-
tenn Is likewise simple. II this Is clearly
seen the complex mechanism necessary
to give 1t effect is more easily understood
and legislation will be more readily
agreed upon. although methods Of organ

without departing from the essential prin-

Rich people of the United States
are being credited with having given
to different benefactions considerably
more than three hundred million dol
lars during the year 1912. j. p. Nor
gan gave S51 1,000.00O Carnegie $10,
100000 and several othors from
million up to five or ten million. The
name of John ID. doesn't appear in the
list. This all looks like big charity
but 1t doesn't compare with the gift
a Christmas turkey by struggling
laboring man or struggling business
man, to neighbor who did not have
any turkey. We are not trying to
preach socialism, but there Is some
thing wrong with the business ad-
justment of a country. any of whose
citizens can become rich enough in
a life time or in many life periods
to be able to give away five or ten
million dollars in a single year The
advertising of the thing itself is a
same country where financial hogs
have amassed hundreds of millions
there are thousands of families ac-
tually starving. Why not give some
of this money to their relief instead
of putting all of it into colleges and
Libraries. They could not of course
brand the starving children in all the
big cities with their names. as they
do the schools and libraries, and that
is one thing at least which those, who
survive starvation, should always feel
proud about.

GREAT MEN OF PRESENT DAY
English Writer Aecords Honors to

Doubtless" writes Clement Short

prospective greatness-but only time

no man in the world today who Is
great in any walk of life in so strik-
Ing way that his contemporaries can
unhesitatingly proclaim him great.
History has proclaimed the elder Pitt
a great man. but not SO certainly his
son. 1t has assigned this epithet to
Palmerston or Peel. and it is too early
yet to decide whether it will concede
it to Gladstone or Disraeli. The great
man is surely he who by force Of

his age in some permanent form.
Whether the achievements of Mr..
