globe into many parts, combining out
ward with homeward voyages, and it
as a serious matter for the govern
hent to interfere with the fleets. Had
the requisitioned tonnage been prop
erly handled there would not have
been such a rise in freights.
President of the Board of Trade
Runciman admitted that there was
not enough tonnage to go around ow-
ing to the enormous number of boats
required to conduct the supply ser
vice of Great Britain and her Allies,
and for the necessary carriage of
munitions. It must be remembered
that the government was employing
fleet three times the size Of the whole
German mercantile marine put to-
gether.
Mr.. Balfour for the Admiralty be-
lieved that there had been good deal
OF misrepresentation and talked in
very much the same strain but did
not see how the transport business
could be controlled by central de-
partment of shipowners.
On the question of state control of
the entire mercantile shipping he
argued that in view of the enormous
difficulties in the way, they would
have to be very cautious before COM
ing to any decision. On the other
hand the opposite theory of leaving
the merchant fleet entirely free was
mot a possibility under war conditions.
Mr.. Balfour said that the munitions
bill (Which had been delayed) includ-
ed measures to encourage the indus
try of building mercantile tonnage
and provided that under certain cir
cumstances this construction would
be carried on as war work. Every day
of delay to such a bill delayed the
completion of merchant ships, dim
irished tonnage, maintained freights
and increased the prices of necessar-
les of life and many other things es-
sential for the proper conduct of the
war.

tracts in the near future.
AS about one-ffth of the total mer-

Communicated for Admiralty purpos-
es land during the four weeks ending
December forty-nine vessels we're
sunk, in addition to the already large
| losses, it will be seen that there is
only a comparatively small margin
of boats left for carrying the country
trade.
In addition, the cost of the new
vessels now being completed has in
creased considerably since the orig
inal contracts were placed, owing to
the continued rise in prices of raw
material, the difficulty of transporting
the material, and higher wages de-
manded by workmen.
Neutral countries have not been
slow in taking advantage of these con-
ditions, and are placing orders for
boats in most available yards as well
as buying up second hand tonnage at
increasing prices.
The way in which the government is
handling the shipping question has
caused much adverse criticism from
ship owners for some time past and
these were emphasized in the House
Of Commons this week by several
shipping members One deprecated
the management of a fleet of two
thousand requisitioned ships by the
divided authority of the Admiralty
and the Board of Trade and advocated
tie appointment of a body of expert
shipowners to deal with details in a
business-like manner which could only
be done by people with knowledge ac-
quired by years of experience. Snip

Has Divorce
Suit on Now

Otto Jordan, former baseball star
playing in Americas and well known
throughout these parts, has been made
defendant in a divorce suit that is
scheduled for trial at the March term
Of the Fulton ciunty Superior court,
in Atlanta The suit was brought by
Attorneys Hill & Wright in behalf OF
Mrs. Alice Roberts Jordan, who set
out, among other things, that the ball
player was "unreasonably jealous"
The suit was filed in October, but
efforts had been made to keep it
quiet" and it only made it's public ap-
poarance Saturday. The alimony fea-
ture of the suit, it was understood, al
ready has been settled. Jordan, and
MS Wlfe were married In Atlanta III
February, 1909, and separated last
April
Mrs. Jordan alleged that when she
and her husband were in New York
he flew into rage because she spoke
to a former male acquaintance in the
street, and took her away from New
York that night, although they had
planned to remain there several days.
She said also that he had tainted he
with statements that "other women
cared for him, and that he cared for

have a daily capacity OF $4,000 bar

are now being built and a large force
of men will soon be put to work and

The Carter Oil company. the largest
owner of Gushing crude, has now
about 30 100000 barrels of oil in stor-
age in that field. the greater part OF
which was bought AT a very low price.
The plan of the company is very
unique. The plant will be only a
skimming plant to top" the crude.
The gasoline only will he taken off
and this vii be shipped in tank ears
to Baton Rouge. La.
The residue which company Off

HIDDEN LIGHTS OF HEAVEN.
Some Starlight Away Behind Schedule
Time.

At Mount Wilson conservatory, Cal
lfornia, the largest telescope in the
world is nearly ready for use and stars
three times more distant than those
now visible through other telescopes
will be brought into the lens of this
scientific giant for study and observa-
tion. The lens will be l3 inches in
thickness, the whole telescope weigh
ing more than four and half tons.
We are particularly interested in the
information that this new device will
probably make possible the study of
stars, whose light travelling at the
rate of $4,000 miles per second re-
quires 10000 years to reach the
earth"
We are ready to admit after some
calculation that these stars are well
| worth studying. And we will agree
without argument that the aforesaid
! luminarieS are some little distance
| from this sphere. There being sixty
minutes in an hour and "a hours in
day and 365 days, or thereabouts, in
one year, il is possible to figure that
the star whose light would travel to
the earth in one year would be about

Not only are we awed by the human
beings Of a relatively small planet who
find themselves able to look as these
distant stars, but we find something to
agree with in one of the new isms
which in modern times plays so i'm
portant a part in our daily studies or
life and the things of life. This par
ticular ISM has for its basic principle
the theory that terrestrial mortais
have their lights from individual stars
That Is, each mans light is deter
mined by a body in the heavens.
We agree. After making the cal
culations the theory looks sound. And
now we can begin to understand the
awful darkness of certain OF our great
men who labor on as though they had
no lights. The truth of the matter Is
| they have no earthly lights The STARS
from whom they await effulgence are
mysterious globules set in the uneH-
plOred firmament, so far away tnat
their light has not yet struck TINS
earth. And the poor, helpless ana
hopoless beings who await that iight
are destined to earthly darkness. IN
