LOOKING FOR SHIPYARD
Government Officials Said to be Max
ing Inquiries at Baltimore
For Facilities.

Speculation ran high in the snip
building field in Baltimore yesterday
when the big plants in and around
that CITY received from the Navy De-
partment at Washington pertinent
INQUIRIES into their business. The lat
fer enclosed a list OF questions that
the heads of the plants were re-
ouested to answer in detail These per-
tanned to the operations of the plant
the capacity, wharfage and drydock'
ing facilities, etc. By many 1t was
looked upon as another step OF the
government in its national prepared
ness campaign, that would make II
possible to take over all of the ship
building plants and operate them
should hostilities between this and
any foreign nation occtr.
When the suggestion was first made
that the government establish an ar
NOR plant the Gazette called atten-
ton to Alexandria as being an ideal
place for such plant, as our city is
hut a few miles south of the capital
city of the nation. The Chamber OF
Commerce undertook to attract the
attention of the government officials
Of this city, while other cities in the
state as we'll az some outside the COM
.nonwealth became competitors.
The contiguity of Alexandria to
Washington and the navy yard at
that place. it would seem. shoald at
tract the attention Of officials II they
really niean business in the inqul.
lies now being made. The present
shipyard occupies two squares OF SIX
-uuarcs of our southern river front
IN other words. it extends from the
old transfer slip at the foot of Wilkes
street to Jones Point. This includes
he forty acres reclaimed about foul
years ago.

GERARD GETS WILSON'S
 ACCEPTANCE OF NOTE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May o. It was the intention of the Amer. ican Ambassador at Berlin to op. tair leave of absence for shorl vacation after the settlement of the sumbarine controversy. It Is now admitted that while the sinking ot the Cymric will not affect the rela- tions of the two countries, the mat ter will need expert investigation which Gerard can give. and he will not leave Berlin until that is finished.
 It is admitted that the position of Gerard in Berlin during the nego- tiations just concluded has been most trying and difficult, chiefly on account of an anti-American feeling which the Germans who deemed themselves wronged by the United States. made no effort to conceal.
