Work for Revision of

WASHINGTON, Nov. II.-AlI those

tional Foreign Trade Council to CO.
operate with the United States Ship

navigation laws so as to remove the
handicap from American vessels.

The committee points out that the

away from the doors. On the Philhar-
mCnIc Society's programme at Carnegie
Hall there was q novelty in Henry +.
Gilbert's symphonic prologue, riders
to the Sea-" This work received It's
first performance at the Peterborough
Festival on August 20, 1914. The pro-
logue is, Of course, inspired by the
drama of J. ". Synge. and regarding It
the composer himself has written as
follows:
"The composer in his symphonic pro-
logue has presented the two dominant
moods of the play. First, there is the
elemental mood Of the imperSonal, the
irreyocable sea. This eventually gives
place 20 the human emotion, the la
ment or song Of grief. There is a last
tragic cry az the elimination of the
lament, after which the music fades
through ever more peaceful nsrmon!es
to the end"
The composition is well written,
melodious presentation Of the moods
evoked by the drsmatist, and espe-
cial!y in the opening portion ideas are
worked out in an interesting fashion.
Later on there were moments Of mo-
notony. though this was perhaps ex-
cusable because Of the sombreness of

Need of Sailors
The Big Problem

The new ships will require 1880
officers, which, as will be seen from
the foregoing, will be easily provided.
Where the $4,000 men are to come
from is another question and enc
that is giving the Shipping Board
some concern. 1t will be Difficult. to
get them, even if no attention be paid
to nationality, and much more so if
they are to be largely American citi-
zens.
1t might be thought that the de-
struction of so many ships by sub
marines would release an ample
number Of men for the new ships,
but even in Liverpool there is a
scarcity of seamen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Howard
has submitted to the Board a plan
whereby he thinks the men can be
found and trained just as success
fully as the officers, provided the
work Is begun at once. This plan
will call for the utilization of a num-
Der of training ships, but it has not
yet been made public. The officers
schools have been conducted with the
cooperation of a committee repre-
senting all the unions or organiza-
tons Of officers. so that there has
been no hostility from organized la
Dor, and doubtless the seamen's
schools will be similarly conducted.
So the end of the war will see the
United States not only with the sec
ond and perhaps the first merchant
marine in the world, but that fleet
will be differed and manned largely
by Americans.
How to keep both the ships and
the men on the sea in the time Of
peace that will come soon or late will
be another problem. Peace forced US
TO unparalleled development of in
ternal trade and means of trans
portation. War has forced US to an
equally unparalleled development of
our foreign trade and ocean trans
port. Shall we hold what we have?

is another illustration of how the

tive draft.
Between June l and September 10

The little cricket was a charming

forced to grow up into a buxom dame

metallic looking that we fancied we
could hear them tinkle every time she
shook her head.
