FEDERAL MERCHANT BOATS.

The Commercial club has gone on record favoring

Following the time honored tactics of business men"
who are seeking business mans government for the
benefit of business men, the club voted unanimously
against the Federal ownership Of merchant vessels 1t
has also declared against the Federal
vessels and leasing them to private concerns
under that situation the government would have a
greater degree of supervision and above all would be
getting too great revenue that should go into the
pockets of patriotic citizens.
Ingerso one time said that patriot who tries
to do something for his country; politician is who
wants his country to do something for him.
The next step taken by the Commercial club was, to
have the government give subsidies private

and operating ships under foreign flags That arrange

If there to be any government "subsidies' then
let the returns be made to the treasury.
There is no valid reason why the Federal govern
ment should not both and operate deep water
merchant ships carrying to foreign ports.
Under the ownership and of such
ships violations of neutrality law would certainly be
obyiated Violations OF the seanaa would not be
tolerated.

The Somerset reached port late Yes-

which beat upon the ship as she
plowed up the Atlantic on saturday

worst the ship had ever encountered.

serious damage.

Among theme were Mr.. and Mrs. +.
n. Thurston. y. s. Berg. Mr.. and Mrs.

Of this city. who have since reached
home.
In addition to her own troubles the
Somerset sighted a derelict barge about
noon Friday. The barge had broken
adrift fro mthe tug Pan American. and
belonged to the Texas OIL Company.
The Somerset came near enough to re-
ceive a message from the barge crew
that the Pan-American be notified OF
her whereabouts. and this was done.

O'Clock Thursday night, having been de-

off Frying Pan Shoal lightship, opposite
Wilmington, II. &. Between that point
and Cape Lookout the gale at times
reached velocity OF 100 miles and the
snow at all. although the Somerset ran
into Il hailstorm Saturday night before
reaching the Capes She passed into the

President Drops Cares
As Riddles Roll Eggs
Forgets That Destiny of Nation Rests on His Should
ers as Many Children Throng the White House
Grounds for Anci ent Ceremony"

President Wilson spent happy hour
today in child land. For sixty delight
full minutes-maybe It was more, maybe
less-he sat on the south portico of the
White House. and watched hundreds
and hundreds of rosy-faced, squealing
kiddies roll eggs down the lawn.
He forgot he was President OF the
United states, forgot that the destiny
OF a nation was strapped to his should
ers. forgot everything except the fact
that the happy, laughing groups Of
children were having a glorious time in
observance of the time -honored GUS
tom OF egg-rolling on Easter Monday.
And he wanted to be one OF them.
Any one could see that who could see
the President rolling around I'm the palm
OF his hand a lurid-colored egg, which
had been gravelv bestowed upon him by
little Joey" Tumulty. and explaining
to the six-year-old hopeful of the Sec
retary to the President that the best

the ground.
All Sorts of Kiddies.
Scattered as far as the eye could
reach across the lawn were children of
all ages and all sizes and poor children
az well as children Of the rich, for II
King Bunny had decreed that there
should be egg-rolling. and the Weather
Man had allowed the sun to shine, the
President of the United States had or
dered that there should be only one kind
of discrimination in the handling of this
egg-rolling, and that this discrimination
should be in favor of all children as
against all grown-ups.
Consequently no carriages were al
lowed on the drive ways through the
grounds, and only those grown-ups who
had children with them were permitted

Band, which was in attendance was ex.
pected to, and did. play only the livelest
of tunes.

White House grounds were just like one

. The older children tried to have real
esg;rolling contests. playing their eggs
against the eggs OF their playmates In
tests or speed and endurance.
Much Egg "Pickin'."
Groups Of freckfe-faced boys engaged
in egg ''pickin'," and some little girls
tried to teach their dolles how to roll
eggs. But to the President the most in
teresting OF all were the little "toddlers"
the little mites just beginning to walk,
whose grotesquely punched up clothing
made them seem to roll along with more
success than the eggs with which they
played Time and again he laughed as a
roly-poly tot would labor along after an
egg, and then flop down in a tired little

youngster whose bloomer legs just
wouldn't stay up.
The Presidents guests of honor for
the occasion were the Tumulty children
six of 'em. and each with a basket Of
dyed eggs-and the three boys Of Secrc-
tary Of the Navy Daniels. rhe latter
were most too dignifled to join the
youngsters on the lawn, but the Tum-
ulty children kept the President busy
selecting the best eggs to roll.
One group of children was noticcaoly
absent. They wore the children of the
European diplomats, whose countries
are at war. Because of the var. and
because of the solemn restrictions which
have prevented their parents rom min
Cling In the social gayeties OF the Wash

at home for fear that, meeting, en-
barrassments might ensue.
No such restrictions bothered the
American kiddies. All restrictions were
thrown aside, ard the hundreds on the
lawn. under the twinkling eye of the
President, had the time OF their lives.
