PENNSY WILL BUILD
new SHOP BUILDINGS

Four buildings are to be erected by
the Pennsylvania railroad in the new
plant in the east yards.
They are to be machine shop. tool
shop, car repair shop and rest room.
Work probably will be commenced
on them this summer, although the
Richmond division engineers office
was unable to impart any definite in
formation on this today.
Plans were made for the buildings
and the appropriation was set aside
last summer. Because the appropria-
tion of s530,000 is blanket one and
provides for expenses of the yard the
amount set aside for the buildings is
unknown.

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

Most all good excuses are the
worst kinds of lies; the excuse
is an attempt to whitewash our
mistake with pernicious self
pity.
l would rather be kind to all
and have kindness to me befall,
than to SOW sorrow and pain
which will come to me again.
If you trust your trials as
they come for the good they
bring, you take from them their
sting and bitterness.
Faith that does not end in
work is a fraud; a fellow can
not feast long in a fairyland.
Pin your faith to fairness.

SUBMARINE MENACE .IS BEING REMOVED

 EER OF BOATS SUNK.
MORE U-B0aTS DESTROYED
Sir Eric oeddes Says British Must Economize in Tonnage To Meet New Offensive Germans Have
 Launched At Sea.

L0ndOn.-'Ihe submarine menace, ia my opinion, is held but not yet mastered, said ST Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, in the House of Gou-aous. our sLipbuidiug is not yet replacing our losses.
 Since November l. when l made uIy last statement Sir Eric con 5.au q. '"Le downward trend of mar- caattc marine losses Las continued satisfactorily. The upward curve of the destruction or enemy submarines have been equally satisfactory. have no reason 10 doubt that all three will continue satisfactory.
 The first lord sad if the country would ecOnomize so as to restrict the use of tonnage and set ships free for more urgent uses, if the English would follow the tradition of their race and put forth all their power. relaxing no effort to destroy che submarine, then the war could end only in victory.
 We must have ships, more ships, still mere ships, and now 1 wa4t the men 10 build them. said Sir Eric. He said the plans We're made anu thT steel had been obtained and that un less he miatooll the spirit Of the coun- try there would be an adequate r>- sponse to the appeal for men.
 When the Associated Press inquir- ed of high naval authority If the an- ti-submarine war was soing well and what was the reason for the high rate of sinkings in the pas three weeks" the answer was:
 'The enemy has had more suoma rires at work. He has actually been attempting submarine offensive oi the largest possible magnitude in an effort to reinforce his offensive on land. He is trying 10 bring off coup which Will incline us 10 peace.
 "He has failed sisnaflF on sea as on land, and ha has had 10 pay a heavy price Our c0Unter-aeasare are meet ing with increased success and the enemy will experience constantly ip- creasing difficulty in maintaining his campaign.
 If the shipbuilding efforts can be properly spurred on in England and America the allies will be made to say within a measurable time that tonnage is being launched at a rate exceeding the sinkings; and also, if the naval measures continued to im- prove as is reasonable to expect, the U-boats are being sunk faster than the Germans are able to build them and that the German U-boat fleet is steadily dWindling away.
 Much still depends on American shipbuilding, but as encouragement to those who are putting their efforts in to that work it may be said with con- fdence that the allied nayies= are able to handle the U-b0at"

YOUNG BILLIARD STAR
Wicker Cochran May Be Able to
 Wrest Title From Hoppe.
Youngster Has Shown Such Remark able Improvement Recently That He Is Being Advanced as Suit
 T"Ie Opponent for Champion.

Lovers of the game of billiards are pinning their hopes in WeIker Coch- ran, the young western bfliardfst. to ~rest the crown of champion from Willie Hoppe, who has won it for sev- eral years and who seems te euteiass the field. Sutton, Slosson, Cutler and the others do not appear to be able to cope with him with .@~ degree of sue cess.
 Cochran used to be known as the boy Y. der when he was touring the country with Firmin Cassfgnof, the French champion but he has outgrown that sobriqaet now as he las become Of voting age Cochran las been giV- ing exhibitions recently in Now York and he has shown such remarkable im- proTemeHt over his play of a year or two ago that billiard men are seri= oaslF advancing him now as 2 suitable opponent for Hoppe.
