DREDGING OPERATIONS ON.
Deepening of Albemarle and Chesa-
peake Canal Proceeding.

Dredging operations to deepen the
channel through the Albermarle and
Chesapeake canal. connecting Chesa-
peake bay with the inland waters of
North Carolina, are now in full swing
AS the waterway is somewhat obstructed
by the digging machines and lighters
used in the work. most of the fleet of
lumber-carrying craft that ply between
this city and North Carolina points are
using the Lake Drummond canal, al
though they have to pay tolls for passing
through that waterway while the Abe
marie and Chesapeake canal. which Is
now owned by the government, is a free
canal.
The dredging work is being done by
the government under the supervision of
the United States Army engineers, and
when the work Is completed the canal
will have eleven feet of water in it, and
1t is planned later to increase this depth
considerably At present 1t Is possible
for vessels drawing nine feet of water
to pass through the canals when the
sounds are filled with water.

cultivate plants which would make this

How the War Affects Us.
1.-THE Need for Ships.
:, By Frederic J. Haskin..

My kingdom for merchant mariner'
So exclaimed your Uncle Sam the
| morning he woke up to find half thc
| world at war and all those bonny, bonny
ships scurrying to the cover Of friend
ly port to avoid capture or worse.
Your Uncle Sam might well have so
exclaimed, for. in, his own inimitable
phrase, he was up against it." Here he
was. caught with more wheat on his
hands than he had ever dared hope to
see, and not SO much as a score of his own
ships to send it across the seas to where
hungry folk most needed it, So, too.
with his cotton and tobacco and lumber
and scores of other things that he pro-
duces to sell abroad. Moreover, he need
ed ships to bring him coffee and rubber
from South America. silk and tea from
the orient: needed them to bring such
things as dyes and fertilizers from Eu-
rope providing a chance port should be
opened.
There wasn't time to build the ships,
that was obvious. So the next best thing
was to buy them.
economists and politicians in power
have agreed that 1t is very bad form to
buy ship made in a foreign country
and permit it to fly the American flag.
But now there was emergency, very
grave emergency. and the government
| took prompt action. A bill was passed
modifying the shipping laws SO as to
| admit foreign-built ships to American
registry providing they were not to en-
gage in the purely American coastwise
business) and authorizing the President
to suspend certain other requirements
that have heretofore operated to re-
strict American shipping enterprise.

STRIP RESIDENCE

that an examination had been made
before the pitcher was thrown away.
All of the jewelry of both Mr.. and
Mrs Post seemed to be missing ut
the time of the first examination this
morning. After they went through
every room ON the two lower ffoors
the burglars ascended to the third
floor, where the three servants en-
ployed in the home slept, each in q
separate room.
Good Morning John, It's Cold
The burglars then departed with
twoj suitcases filed with their loot.
A few yards from the house they
met a choreman, known only as
Thomas" who was on his way to
the Post house to tend to the fur
mace. This work usually is done by
John Hall, negro chauffeur en-
ployed by MIR. Post, who lives with
his wife over the garage, q short
distance from the Post residence.
Last night, however. the Halls went
to Brooklyn on visit to friends and
Thomas" was engaged to look after
the furnace until the Halls got back.
It was still dark when the bur-
glars. with the suitcases. met the
choreman, and ne is unable to de-
scribe them, more than to say they
wore "leggins' and seemed to be
dressed as automobilists would be.
One of them said cheerily TO the
choreman: Good morning. John; it
is very cold this morning"
The choreman did not suspect any
thing was wrong until he went few
feet further and noticed that all the
lights were burning in the Post house.
He thought 1t better not to go 10 the
lighted house. all things considered,
and ran to the next house, where he
told his story. and the police were
notified by telephone.
Chief George ". Brown and Police
man Fred Sigler responded. After
questioning the maid and the chore-
man, they formed the theory that the
burglars had an automobile in the
woods near by.
The only thing Of value overlooked
by this mornings intruders were four
sterling silver candlesticks, which
were the only valuable articles
left behind when the house was
burglarized before.
