NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-At least
fifty gigantic ocean liners represent
ing total value of a billion dollars
are lying idle in American ports to-
day as a result of the European war.
The loss sustained each day by tue
various steamship compaies througd
the idleness of their costly vessels IS
almost incalculable.
United States in nearly every IN
stance contain one or more ships
either interned or laid up through
lack OF transatlantic travel. Boston
and New York are haboring the
greatest number.
When the war first broke our,
many big German liners were forced
to put back into American ports to
avoid raiding by British cruisers.
Others were ordered to disba 1d
crew and lay up in our ports until
the end OF hostilities.
The two great German lines. the
North German Lloyd and the Ham
, burg American own forty-three ves-
sells now enforcedly idle in American
ports. The White Star line was forc-
ed through lack of business to dis
continue the sailings OF the Cedric,
the Celtic and the Cymric The
White Star Dominion line discontin-
ucd the sailings OF the Laurent.c,
Canada and Tuetonic.
The big piers in Brooklyn present
some disconsolate scenes of suspend
cd activity. At one pier are tied
three big ocean greyhounds, their
sides dirty from lack of paint and
with winches and brass work rustcd
from disuse. They are the Kaiser
Wilhelm III, the Grosser kurfurst
and the Friedrich Der Crosse. a
small crew of men are kept aboard
to guard the big liners and wisp q
smoke coming from one of the stacks
on each vessel tells that fires are DC
ing kept to prevent freezing.
At another Brooklyn dock stands
the mighty Vaterland Of the Ham,
burg American line At the time {
launching, the Vaterland was herald
ed as the last word in ocean linerc
Her cost was estimated at over So
100000. Her tonnage is greater than
that of any liner ahoat. Today she
is worse than useless to the HAM
burg American line because every day
OF idlcness is piling up huge costs on
idle investments.

HUMBLE ONION IS
APPRECIATED NOW
Pleasant Valley Growers Ex-
pect to Get Dollar Bush
el for Big Crop.

Onion raisers at Pleasant Valley,
just above Davenport, are having Wis
ions of great wealth to be realized
when this years crop is harvested.
Not only have they better prospects
for a crop than for many years, but
the price has taken a jump in the last
few days. The set crop to the tune
OF 10 car loads has just been disposed
of by the association growers for from
s1.5O to S1.75 per bushel. The non
association growers got an equally high
price, but did not have as large an
acreage.
Estimating each of the 10 cars as
500 bushels, the set crop brought is
approximately $500. which indicates
that If the onion men are weeping at
all it is tears of joy they are shed
ding.
The seed onions will sell, according
to the present state of the market, at
the highest price the growers have
ever received. One dollar a bushel
looks to be the maximum price just
now.
Norman LAGRANGE, the oldest grower
at Pleasant Valley, sold his entire crop
of IL acres for 81 per hundred. Joe
Stark, having a small field of very
early seed onions, has sold them for
So per hundred. These prices are at
the ratio of 81 and S1.5O per bushel.
When one takes into consideration
the fact that the onion men used to
sell their tear-producers at 80 cents
per bushel and yet make a lot of mon
ey, it is indication enough that the

In support of its contention that
Johnson is a crook and should never
again be allowed to fight, the paper
publishes what it states are excerpts
from letters written by Johnson to
McKettrick two days before the fight
and while McKettrick, possessing the
signed agreement, was trying to avoid
the negro. One of these excerpts is
as follows:

This story has caused a sensation
here, but not the least astonishing out
come of its publication came last night
in the Savoy bar, when well known
American sportsman confided to press
correspondent a no less amazing dis
closure concerning the fight in Paris.
According to this information there
was a carefully laid plot to double
cross johnson SO that he could not
possibly win. Only the fact that the
referee, Georges Carpenter, developed

was on the inside, caused the plan to
fall.
To begin with the schemers knew
