Of all thinking Americans in France
he said.
When questioned about his remarks
regarding Americas attitude OF pre-
paredness for extending trade rela-
tions with foreign powers after the
war, the Ambassador said:
~ believe that new conditions will
arise in trade relations after the war
which America must be prepared to
meet. To meet these conditions Amer
lea will need a great perspective and
much patience"
The Ambassador and Mrs. Sharp had
intended sailing by the Espagns, OF
the French Line, q week ago, but at
the last moment they cancelled their
passage and booked by the American
Line. In speaking of their change in
sailing dates, Mrs. Sharp said that they
had changed at the last minute because
of the activities Of the German U-53
in the North Atlantic.
at was not that we were really
afraid to sail on an Allied vessel, but
that, II anything should happen, We
considered II best TO avoid II possible
any diplomatic complications" she
said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp were accom-
panied by Mr.. Sharp's mother and By
their children. the Misses Margaret
and Efie Sharp and Master Baxter

example, which I visited recently,

been made by either side since the
beginning of the war. There are
many other sectors similar to Soils

Mr.. Sharp said that he had made
an extensive tour Of the battlefelds
of the Marine, where he was able to
perceive how the strategy OF the
French had caused the Germans to
retreat.

Her recommendations are a compen-
dium of cody deeds for the use Of
mariners. They cover pretty much all
that they may be expected to do. There
was. as there always is, first lieu
tenant who, while his commander was
being extricated from bridge wreckage,
took charge of affairs and steered the
ship, first from the engine room-or
what remained of it-and later from

manner of craft they were. The chief
engine room artificer, after he had
helped put out the fires, improvised
stops TO gaps which were left by the
carrying away of the forward funnel
and mast. He got and kept up steam
to "a much higher point than would
have appeared at all possible"
He Saved the Ship
And when the sea rose, as it always
does if you are in trouble, "he i'm
provised pumping and drainage ar

steam at good speed, on the whole"
There could not have been more than
forty feet of hole surge on proba-

skill, resource and unceasing care and
devotion, he undoubtedly saved the
lives of the many seriously wounded
men,"
That no horror might be lacking,
there was "a short circuit among
bridge wreckage for a considerable
time" The searchlight and wireless
were tangled up together and electric
ity leaked into everything.
There were also three wise men who
saved the ship, whose names must
not be forgotten. They were Lea, the

point of view. 1t proved beyond ques-
ton that Lamar has the talent to put
on most any kind Of an entertainment
in first class style, as this was pro-
nounced by all who saw it to be a.
fine as most of the high class plays
of similar character seen in the city
Mr. Dick and Miss Ferrara, who were
the directors, pronounced it TO be one
of the best productions of the play
they had ever seen and both proved
to be efficient directors in their line.
The play was finely staged and cos
TUNED and was clever story well
told with very catchy musical num-
bers all through which were handled
by some of the best voices in Lamar
and the large chorus was very pleas
ing part of the program.
The performers all proved them
selves talented and generous, as they
gave. their time and work freely to
help the ladies who are trying to
keep an up-to-date hospital in Lamar.
Through the work of those who gen
erously donated their services the peo-
pie were able to donate over two
hundred dollars to the hospital and
still all got the worth of their money.
No small part of the fun Of the sec
ond evening was due TO the ladies of
the gallery and the liberal manner in
which they passed out bouquets"
Owing to the high price Of vegetables
their liberality forced them to econ
omize by taking gallery seats.
The paper issued in connection with
the program proved a great success
and added quite literally to the re
ceipts of the hospital treasury.
