PROTEST TAKING OVER !.
OF THREE STEAMERS
Colombia, Ecuador and vene-
zuela May Be Communicated

A rumor that the United States Ship
ping Board contemplated commander.
ing the Pacific Mail Steamship Com.
pany's three transpacifc steamers Col.
ombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, has
caused storm of protest on the Paei-
hc Coast, according to the Daily Com.
mercial News Of November 20, which
reports that the protest is because of
the slowness of the vessels and their
unsuitability for service as transports,
and that were they taken over IL would
mean the practical removal of the Stars
and Stripes from the transpacifc trade.
N As result Of the strong feeling
against the Communicating of the
ships, Frederick J.iKoster, president of
the San Francisco Chamber of Com.
merce, has sent wireless telegram to
Washington requesting the United
States Shipping Board not to take
over the vessels unless IL Is absolutely
necessary. Roster explained in his
telegram that the vessels of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company were not
speedy and that their size and passen.
ger accommodations were such as to
render them of little value as trans.
ports, and that they were doing a valu.
able service for the government by
carrying products from the Orient to
the mainland.

The sooner the entire country sets its song Of
industrial patriotism to this tune the better 1t is
bound to become popular eventually; why not
now? In no other way will the war be won with
SO much expedition and little ultimate loss The
recognition Of this fact alone should enhance and
advance the popularity of the doctrine
Al the beginning OF the war good people of all
classes in this country talked about business as
usual" 1t hada right stable and sensible ring in
the ears Soon, however, the more wise began to
see things in another light The new doctrine is
that the one business OF the nation is war. This
mighty rod of Aaron converted into a serpent in
continenty swallows up all the little contestants.
The wizards with their private pursuits have one
course left That is to become patriots, heart and
soul It will be better for the country and better
for them, HI %F

He asked all of the people in the audience who in this time of stress and strain, would pledge them selves to be true to the administration and the principles advocated by Mrs. Mathis, to stand up. The response was hearty and unanimous, showing plainly how the people stand on these ques- tions.

The dis tinguished Humboldt athlete presided as referee during the Caddock-E -Eustace mat fray at Des Moines Monday night and was accorded a turumultous reception; the bugs gave Governor Harding the glad hand when he was introduced, but when Gotch strode onto the platform the roof of the auditorium almost came off.
