powerful neighs to let all hands know
where he was, Jerry came back to
the pier and waited to be hauled up.
This was accomplished after much
labor, by putting big slings under
Jerry's huge bulk and heaving him up

diver for a minute, and Jerry went

NOT A RLuEE.

Some months ago the statement was
made by the Pacific Mail Steamship
company that 1t could not continue to
do business between this country and
Asiatic ports IN competition with Jap
anese lines and comply with the re-
quireraents of the seamen's law. 1t
was evident after g thorough investi-
cation OF the situation that there was
nothing else to do but to dispose Of
it's vessels and permit the steamships
which operate under foreign flags to
carry on the business.
Whether this threat was looked upon
as a bluff or not at the time, 1t is
apparent now by the announcement
which has just been made Of the sale
OF five of it's vessels that it was sin
cere in it's analysis of the situation.
1t has done what it promised to do and
what it was forced into by the legisla-
ton which was passed by the present
administration. It was not disposed
to carry on losing business and 1t
has adopted the course which was it's
only alternative. 1t has thrown its
vessels into the market for others who
are in need Of just such methods Of
transportation as they will permit be-
cause Of the conditions which have
been created by the war. and as long
as the war lasts the vessels may be
continued under the American nag,
but it Is Inevitable thereafter that
they will be found under the registra-
ton OF some other country which fur
nishes more encouragement for those
engaged in shipping, The action. Of

laration was not q blum.

If after its previous statements
thereon it was necessary, this country
has now said the final word In its note
to Austria concerning the question of
the manufacture Of munitions of war
in this country for the nations OF Eu-
rope or any other purchaser. 1t was
thoroughly considered at the opening
of the war and long before and the
United States does not intend at this

is entirely legal and the government
does not intend to interfere.
