A Forward nj oyement.

Last Friday evening at five o'clock
fifty men and women representing the
five churches of the valley, met at the
Baptist church to consider a matter of
general interest to the community.
The meeting was an intensely in
teresting one, and all in attendance
gave themselves heartily to the bust
ness in hand. 1t vas strictly a bust
ness meeting, not a social affair.
Supper wa served in order that men
might come directly from work and
not have to go home before this
meeting. The following preamble
was read and heartily Endorsed by the
meeting. About twenty persons made
brief talks in its favor: "This meet
ing tonight is called at the instigation
of the pastors residing in the Valley
to consider a matter that has been in
the minds of some of us for a good
while. At a conference of pastors
held last Tuesday, after it had been
agreed upon that certain things ought
to be undertaken for the welfare of
the community, the pastors decided to
call together a small but representa-
tive number of members of the
churches, about ten from each of the
five churches, and lay the matter be-
fore them.
We believe that we ought to have
in Ironton some central place where
young people could congregate for
recreation and social pleasure, and
which would, at the same time, serve
as a place of entertainment and in
struction. The plan contemplates a
building capable of accommodating a
gymnasium, where basket ball and
other games might, be played. 1t
should be convertible into an au-
ditorium capable of seating as large
an audience as the community would
be likely to get together upon any
special occasion, such as would be
!, afforded by a union meeting, com
!. meneement exercises, and so forth,
The building should be under the
management of a board of directors
, managers or trustees, consisting o.
the pastor and not less than three
members from each church, each
l church electing its own representa-
tives on the board. The variety O.
+ good uses to which such a building
! might be put will readily occur to any
one interested in the pleasures o
!, young people, and the happiness anc
D welfare of the community. There arr
here merely suggested some of thu
' more conspicuous features. Also thu
details of the management are matter
to be worked out later"
On motion, it was voted to appoin
a committee to take under considera
4 ton the whole matter in detail ant
report at a later meeting. The com
: mittee consists of the pastor an,
three other members of each church
and when the committee is ready t
report, a mass meeting will be calle'
to receive the report.

BIG STEAMSHIP
COMES FOR COAL
THE HARRISON LINER TAcTi.
CLAN, LOADED WITH GRAIN,
ARRIVED YESTERDAY AND
WILL GO TO SEA TO-DAY.

One of the largest OF the Harrison
liners reached here yesterday, coming
for a supply of bunker coal. This
was the Tactician, 4765 tons, which
is en- route with cargo Of grain for
Liverpool.
The Tactician is equipped with four
masts, which. as shipping men are
aware of, is two spars more than the
average freighter carries. Wireless
equipment also is carried, and the
steamer has quite number OF state
rooms, for the numerous passengers
who are carried on every trip, very
few, however, If any, being on the
present voyage because of the risk the
steamer is taking in making a trap
to the United Kingdom.
Immediately upon reaching here the
Tactician was boarded and shortly
thereafter berthed under the coal
chutes for a supply of bunker. 1t is
expected the big ship viii be ready
for sea about daylight, or possibly a
few hours later.

The American Right
to Purchase Ships.

While columns have been written
regarding the position of England on
the question Of transferring German
steamers TO United States registry,
particularly In connection with the
case OF the Dacia, there is only one
question In the whole matter, after all.
That is in connection with the sales OF
German vessels In order to avoid
capture. There is a provision of inter-
national law which provides that
transfers of registry shall not be valid
when such transfers are made TO es-
cape the consequences of what is
termed the enemy character" The
point to be decided in the case of
the Dacia rs well as In the case of
any other vessels purchased by citi-
zens OF neutral nations from any Of
the beliigerants is whether of not the
sale was made by the owners TO avoid
the risk of capture
The night OF the German liner, Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie last August. inmed-
lately after the declaration OF war be-
tween England and Germany will be
recalled in this connection. The Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie was on the high seas
when warned by wireless that capture
by TIE English was imminent. The
vessel was Immediately turned back
toward American shores and, after a
nerve wrecking run, with all lights ex-
tinguished, the vessel finally put into
Bar Harbor, Main. On board the
vessel were several millionaire, who
offered to purchase the vessel, change
the flag 10 the stars and stripes and
proceed on the voyage. This, had such
procedure been possible. would have
been a clear violation of international
law. and the mere change of flag
would not have been recognized by
a prize court
The purchase of vessels that have
been laid up in the ports of the United
states because Of the war presents an
entirely different problem. These yes
sells are not liable to capture, for they
will not go beyond the bounds of neu-
trail territory while the war lasts.
Their purchase by citizens of the
United States would not be for the
purpose OF preventing capture by a
belligerent but for the purpose OF Civ
ing an outlet for the commerce of this
country. and 1t Is difflcult to see how
any fair-minded court could construe
such action into an attempt on the
part of the original owners OF the ves-
sells to avoid tho risks of war.
The case OF the Dacia viii proba oily
be q test of the contentious of the
United States in regard to the right OF
citizens OF this country to purchase
vessels laid up because OF the war, for
her capture is a foregone conclusion.
II the sale OF the vessel Is shown to
be bona fide. the Dacia will be in
the Same position that scores OF other
vessels viii be in II sold by German
to American owners. The only ques-
ton to be decided is whether of not the
sale was made to prevent capture and
this in view of all the circumstances.
