WILSON BLUFF

OCEAN TRIPS.

GENEVA (via London. April 81.
Commenting on the American note
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung of Ber-
lin says:
Germany will never yield to
America because of Wilson's bluffs.
The attitude of the American press
is in comical contrast to the really
effective power of that country. The
best methods of advertisement, of
which Wilson is a master. wear thin
in time. When the sword of Damocles
remains too long suspended we can
see it is only a wooden one"

How Plant Was Secured.

| The deal for this big plant has been
planning for the past month, and
Brunswick won out after tilt with
Savannah and Jacksonville for the en-
/ terprise. Mr.. Taylor and Mr. Fendig
! it seems, met in New York a few years
ago, and were together frequently du-
ring a visit Mr.. Fendig made to New
York. This winter Mr.. Taylor was the
guest of friends on Jekyl island, and
when he passed through the city he
called on Mr.. Fendig. During the
course of their conversation Mr.. Tay-
| lor mentioned to Mr.. Fendig that he
and few of his associates were fig
uring on the erection of a shipbuilding
plant somewhere in the south for the
construction of three or four large
schooners. Mr.. Fendig at once sug-
gested to the New York lawyer that
he would not have to spend very much
time in selecting his site; that he was
in the best located city on the Allan
tic coast for a shipbuilding plant, and
that whenever he was ready to let
| Brunswick have a chance. The mat
| ter was discussed for some little time,
and Mr.. Taylor stated that he would
p, be glad to include Brunswick among
the cities which were to be investi-
gated.
Returning to New York month ago
Mr.. Taylor took the matter up with
Mr.. Fendig, which resulted in another
visit to the city. On this trip Mr.
Taylor was accompanied by others in
terested in the industry. Brunswick
was visited and the matter was taken
up. In the meantime Savannah and
Jacksonville learned of the plans on
Foot for the erection of such a plant
in the south, and they went after it,
inviting Mr. Taylor and his associates
to visit those cities Last week a trip
was made to both the Georgia and
made, and upon their return to Bruins
wick, Mr.. Taylor and his associates
announced that they were ready tc
close with Brunswick, and the deal
was finally contaminated in the Off
ces of Albert Fendig & Company yes
terday. Mr.. Taylor will probably leave
flor New York tonight, where contracts
will be let at once for material. He
will likely return to the city within q
tshort time, when the new company
:. will be organized, and active work or
Brunswick's big shipbuilding plan
will begin.
In this connection it is but just t.
say that Brunswicks prominent citi
zen, Mr.. Albert Fendig, landed this
big industry almost singlehanded
Always alert to Brunswick's interest,"
he has been right on the job, so t.
speak, in this matter, and Brunswick
owes to Mr.. Fendig the credit for Sc

W. G. Waldo, executive secretary,
describes what has been done thus far
