NAVAL STATION NOTES
First Boat To BE Built.

Arrangements are being made at
the Station for the construction of
a sixty foot motor boat for the quar-
antine authorities. 1t is estimated
that this boat will cost about twenty
five thousand dollars and will take
six months to complete.
The L. S s. Machias was unlocked
Monday and will tie up at the Sta
ton wharf TO complete her repairs.
Admiral Harris, Chief of the Blu
reau of Yards and Docks, visited the
Station Monday for the purpose of
inspecting relative to the improve
ments contemplated in the segrega-
ton of the different machine shops,
etc. The Admiral was much pleased
with the conditions as found and
will probably recommend the major
part of the improvements.
The Army Dredge Sabine, usually
on duty at Sabine Pass, has arrived
at the Station for docking and minor
repairs. This vessel will not be at
the Station for very long as the re-
pairs to be undertaken can be fin
iShed in a short time.

NEW FLOWER SHOP is A THING
OF BEAUTY

One of the prettiest and most re-
freshing spots on Canal street Satur-
day morning was the new flower shop
opened by Frank ]. Reyes. in the Gum
bel building. at 537 Canal street.
The rare and abundant beauty of
the artistically displayed stock of
fresh flowers and shrubbery seemed
to reflect the splendor of the newly
opened store Of natural beauties.
With the interior of the floral fairy
land a mass of gorgeous color and
with graceful palms lining the side
walk. the scene presented was most
inviting, and many passers-by accept.
ed invitation of the glowing flowers.
Special invitations were sent out by
Mr. Reyes to all of his business

written messages of congratulation

throughout the day.

TO BUILD v. S. BOAT AT NAVAL
STATION II R

A vessel to cost approximately $25,.
600 will be constructed for the use of
the public health service. and the
work will be done at the New Orleans
naval station. The vessel will be
used for boarding purposes.
While the boat is small, it's con.
struction at New Orleans is regarded
as important, since it will be the first
vessel to be constructed at that yard.
1t is believed by many naval construc,
tors that New Orleans is the logical
point for building small naval and 9th
er vessels needed by the government
II is regarded as probable that coHsid
cradle work of this class will be done
in New Orleans in the near future.

Word Comes From
Berlin
ALL EFFORTS MADE
TO SECURE PROOFS
State Department Proceeding
With Utmost Caution In
Matter

Washington, March 30.-Three days
have passed since Ambassador Ger
ard was instructed to inquire Of the
German government whether any OF
its submarines torpedoed the British
channel steamer, Sussex, and the
United States still iswithOut an ad.
mission or denial Of responsibility.
Nor has any word come from Mr.. Ger
ard on the inquiries he was instruct
ed to make regarding the attack up
on the British ship, Englishman, and
Manchester Engineer.
1t is assumed here that the German
government is withholding any state
ment while awaiting report from sub
marine commanders. officials are
puzzled, however. by the failure OF
the ambassador at Berlin to make
some kind of response to the state de-
partment's communication. 1t is
hoped that he viii be heard from to,
morrow when President Wilson prob
ably will go over the situation with
his cabinet. .. ...l...
In an et""crC to secure conclusive
proof regarding the disasters which
have overtaken, the Sussex another
unarmed British merchantship, carry
ing American citizens, the United
States is employing every means at
it's command Unless Ambassador
Gerard reports in the near future, he
may be asked the cause OF the delay.
The state department still is pro
ceding with the utmost caution.
