Miss Dover said that research work

which she is most often employed.
Some of the favorable phases Of this
work are physiological chemistry. for

A MERCHANT MARINE

President Wilson has asked thai
Congress make an appropriation OF
$1,000. .OOO.OOO for the building of a
United States merchant marine.
For years the question of mer-
chant marine has been debated in
American politics and advocated by
American industry. For years Amer
ican goods have been transported to
all parts of the world in foreign-own-
ed ships.
The great steamship lines of the At
lantic have been owned by English
and German capitalists. The great
lines of the Pacific are controlled by
British and Japanese interests
American shipping is almost negli-
gible by comparison.
The U-boat policy of the German
government and the need of shipping
for the transportation of food and
other supplies has directed the atten-
tiOn of the Administration to the ur-
gent need of more American ships.
1t is one of the greatest steps of pre-
paredness.
Should the United States decide to
send troops into France, there would
be a lack of ships to transport them
without materially affecting the trans
portation of supplies. At the pres
ent time, both cannot be sent without
overtaxing the transportation of one
or the other.
Nor is the move one of importance
solely in the present war situation, for
the expansion of American commerce
with other countries has to a great
degree been retarded because of the
lack of oceanic transportation facil-
tiles. After the war there will be an
increase in commercial activities,
which the United States must be pre-
pared to meet.
China offers a vast field for the de-
velopment of American commerce. as
does South America. The need for
American-made products for the Eu-
repean reconstruction will be enor-
nous.
All of which will require increased
shipping facilities and means of trans
portation. The building of a United
States merchant marine is for all time
to come and not necessarily 10 re-
lieve the present crisis.
The far-seeing policy of the Admin
istration has undoubtedly weighed all
of the advantages of building the ma
rine, and it is to be hoped that Con-
gress will also see the necessity of
the adoption of such a policy.

B. B. COMMISSION
HAS ADJOURNED
Body Did Not Take Action on Petition
for Removal Of Draft on Class
"A Leagues.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 3.-Inter-
national league and American associa-
ton magnates were still here today
to hold discussion over their sched-
uled inter-league series next fall and
formulate further plans for getting the
national commission to remove the
draft from class AA leagues.
But they will have to wait until an
other day to get any action out of the
commission on their complaints, as
basebalrs supreme court wound up its
annual meeting last night without
taking any definite action on anything
except the reelection Of Garry Herr
man as chairman and John Bruce as
secretary and treasurer.
The commission listened yesterday
to numerous pleas of the minor
leagues and lent unofficial encourage
ment to some of them. It is likely the
time for drafting players will be set
back ten days or more and that some
of the changes in the re-districting and
re-classifcation of the minor leagues
as advocated by Al Tearney, president
of the Three Eye league will be sup
ported. Charley Ebbets' scheme to
have the drafting system revised is
not favored by the commission.

Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The final
word. save one, sent by Bill Carrigan
to Owner Frazee of the Boston Red
Sox, saying ne could not manage the
worlds champions this year, is not
being taken even half seriously by
local baseball men today. They be-
lieve that Bills final notation will be
his name on the reverse side Of a
check for substantial sum.
1t is a well known fact that
sas-cc Hitherto well Informed in
baseball matters has spilled the
beans by stating that Carrigan is
soon to announce his intention of re-
turning to the Red Sox. Also the
fact that Joseph Lannin was closeted
for a time with Frazee yesterday in
New York was taken as an ind1ca-
ton Of the close of negotiations for
Carrigan's return. 1t has been BAN
died Ssvound that Lannin's sale of
the Red Sox carried the stipulation
that Carrigan was to lead the worlds
champions in their 1917 campaign.
AS a matter of fact, no one out
side of Boston has been more than
mildly interested in Carrigan's re-
turn When he announced his re-
tirement they took him at his word
and began to speculate on his prob
able successor. II he should sign a
contract again 1t would not surprise
anyone # ne shouldn't they'd keep
right on living and dying in the same
old way.
Carrigan, so reports from Lewis
ton, Maine, say, has given fnal
answer to "be finally answered" to-
morrow. He's got a part ownership
in a bank there and fears to leave
1t, he said. His answer is expected
to be a signod contract for about
$4,000 a year.
