A Different Thing Entirely.
CONTINUED NEXT WEEK


From the Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Iowa City Republican says, some-
what Indignantly:
The Hoover plan to starve the Scandi-
navian countries and Holland until they
Will join the wal against Germany, is not
inconsistent with some other sayings OF
this. suddenly arisen patriot. The boycott
against these countries cannot but disgust
all people who have a feeling OF compass
sion for four of the noblest countries in
The trouble with this is that 1t is not
the Hoover plan at all. Mr.. Hoover, whose
mediate ancestors came from one OF
these four modest little countries" tina
is. from Holland. would probably be
as strongly opposed to starvation for
them as he was opposed to starvation Of
Belgians.
There is no starvation in the Hoover
plans, but his proposition is to ration
them. Tina means to send them enough
to live on, but not enough more to enable
the unscrupulous among them to export
to Germany for greedy profits. The Hol-
landers and the S~candinavians may be
noble peoples, but they are also thrifty
peoples and they have been making. or
some OF them have. all Kind of money
reselling to the Germans. We are at war
with Germany and we are not supplying
our enemies with foods. Why should we
permit neutral countries to use our foods
to do the very things we do not want
done? The Iowa City paper ought to learn
to. write more vigorously on the other
side.

CHAPTER SEVEN (cont,nuea.)

~ must warn you again, Bris
son, and you, Madame" he said
severely, that of this not a single
word must be breathed-to no one
Let it pass from your minds as
though it had never been. 1t is al
affair of high diplomacy and you
might suffer much were it known
that You r. concerned in it. In
behalf of France, | thank you, and
l shall have care that your SO
great service is brought to the
attention Of the proper persons.
But remember-not a word!
Monsieur and Madame were
faithful-only in the seclusion of
their bedroom, with the light ex-
tinguished, and in bated whispers,
did they ever discuss it. And, as
at this point they pass. from this
story, let it be added that, some
months later, a parcel was deliv-
cred at their door, which, when
opened. was found to contain a
handsome vase Of Sevres. Inside
the vase was a card, "To Mon
sieur and Madame Aristide Bris-
son, from Theophile Delcasse, as a
slight recognition Of their serv-
ices to France"
1t would be impossible to say
which this worthy couple valued
most highly, the vase or the card.
Certain it is that, if you are ever
q guest at the du Nord, you will
be shown both of them, the vase
in a velvet lined case against the
wall and the card, neatly framed,
just below it. And, in considera-
ton of their increased Importance,
Monsieur and Madame have con-
sdared themselves justified in in
creasing their tariff 10 per cent.
AS Don as Lepine and Crochard
were alone together, the former
took the photograph from his
pocket, looked at the number on
the back, and then consulted a
typewriter list of names. Then,
with a hand not wholly steady, he
handed the list to his companion.
Number 49," he said.
Opposite that number Crochard
read, Admiral Fl. Pachman, chief
of the wireless service; - and then
he gazed at the photograph long
and earnestly, as though impress
it indelibly upon his mind.

is closed Sunday, we "a make no

Lepine. "May | interrogate the

who was ON duty at daybreak

"There are two mel on duty at

"and each trick is eight hours in

cat 5 o'clock and 40 minutes"
"The clerks who were in the
bureau at that hour are not here
now, but | can have them called"
"Let us %interrogate the ones
who are here suggested Lepine.
Perhaps it will not be necessary
to disturb the others"
The chief pressed a button and
summoned the ticket sellers, one
after the other. The first had no
recollection of having received the
notes, but with his companion LIE
pine was more successful.
Yes, yes, | remember them per-
fectly," he said, when they were
shown to him. MY attention was
called to them because they were
both quite new. / looked at them
closely to make certain that they
we're genuine, and noticed that
they were numbered consecutive
ly. Another detail which caused
them to remain in my memory was
the striking appearance of the per-
son who gave. them to me-"
Lepine's heart was throbbing
with triumph.
Describe this man." he Said.
"Ah, SIR" said the clerk,
"that is just it. 1t was not a man,
but a girl-a girl of Is or 20. That
is what drew my attention. It is
not usual to have a girl like that
ask for two tickets, second class,
to Paris"
"a girl!". stammered Lepine.
"You are sure7"
Perfectly sure, SIR"
We'll, describe her, them"
The clerk half closed his eyes
in order the better to vizualize his
memory.
"She was, as 1 have said, of
about 10, and she was not a
Frenchwoman."
Glow do you know that"
because, in the first place, she
spoke French not very we'll and,
in the second place, there. was in
her manner an assurance, a free
dom from embarrassment, which a
French girl of her station would
nOJ possess.
Was she light or dark?"
"She was dark, sir, with bright
black eyes, with which she looked
at one very steadily. She was
slightly built, Of medium height,
simply dressed, so far as I could
see through the little window, not
fashionably, with with good eff
feet. However, what impressed
me most was her calm assurance
almost American; but she was
too dark to be Of America"
Reading between the lines, Lee
pine suspected that the clerk had
attempted to start q filtration with
the selfpossessed unknown, and
had been rebuffed. And yet, what
he said was true-young girls in
France were not, ordinarily, en-
trusted with the buying Of railway
tickets, especially for SO consider

he returned to the landing and

could see the harbor, the warships,

he turned to an examination Of the

Will BUILD new
SHIPS in SOUTH

Some of the details Of the contract
for 20 ships, awarded by the govern
ment, are MADE known by the con,
tractors, Terry G. Tench of New York,
The vessels will be approximately
5000 tons each, and will be a combin.
alton OF steel and wood. They will
be steam driven.
The framework and other structural
parts will be of steel, with wood the
material for the Skin" or covering.
The vessels are so designed as to
permit later replacing the wooden
skin by steel plates.
! These 20 ships will be built at the
Port Wentworth terminal located ON
the Savannah river, near Savannah,
Ga: A shipyard site Of 1870 acres, with
a frontage on tidewater of $500 feet.
has been purchased from the terminal
company.
In speaking Of the firms reasons
for selecting Savannah for the Ioca.
ton of their shipbuilding plant, Fred.
erick Teneh said:
THE Savannah & Northwestern
Railroad connects directly with the
Port Wentworth property, giving full
railroad facilities. Labor conditions
at Savannah are probably more favor
able than at any other large center.
and as we shall avail ourselves largely
OF local labor, this was an important
factor in determining the choice of
location. Another big factor is the
mild Savannah climate, which Der.
mits outdoor work IL months in the
year.
Savannah, furthermore, is conven-
lent to most of the materials used in
shipbuilding, and we anticipate no
delays on the score of unavailable ma.
terials. For instance, the Port Went
worth Lumber Company, with a ca.
paeity Of over 10000 feet a day. is
located Immediately adjacent to our
property. With these favoring factors
these 20 vessels will be in the nation
al service well Within the, time limit
set for construction.
The operations will be handled by
a separate corporation, to be known
as the Terry Shipbuilding CORPORA
ton. Terry G Tench are well known
contractors, having built various sec
lions of the new and old New York
subways. They have handled various
other large operations, principally in
the East.

DYNAMITE JOHNNY" IS
DEAD FROM PNEUMONIA

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 22.-Capt.
John O'Brien. best known as "Dyna-

of fflibusterers, has died here of pneu-
mcnia. He celebrated his S0th birth
day anniversary April 20 last, at a
reception arranged here in his honor
By the President of Cuba.
Capt. O'Brfen followed the sea al
most from childhood. His career was
made picturesque by his numerous ad-
ventures as a runner Of arms for Gu
ban and South American revolution
lists. In his early years he was a
ferry boat pilot in New York harbor,
and then became part owner Of a sail
ing vessel, making many adventurous
trips to tropical countries.
A widow, four sons and three daugh.
tiers, all residing in Newark, n. J.,

SHIPYARDS TO Speed Up BUILDING

shipbuilders that he expected to turn
out within the next Is months fully
5000, geo tons Of steel shipping and
perhaps more. Steel companies, he
said, have agreed to furnish enough
steel to build 500, 900 tons q month
The only question, he said, was the.
capacity Of the yards working at top
most speed.
About 1,O00, 900 tons Of the shipping
now building in American yards or
contracted for is for British account.
This the British government has
agreed to turn over to the United
States voluntarily. The vessels, as
fast as built, will be chartered By
the shipping board to private opera
tors, and perhaps In some instances
to the allied governments.
The shiphuilders were told the gov
eminent at this time has no intention
OF taking over the shipyards IL the
shipbuilders exert their utmost ef.
forts to speed construction.
The bill as passed vests in the presi-
dent the power to commander, and
he IL expected to issue a proclama-
ton designating either the shipping
board or the fleet corporation as the
agency to carry out provisions of the
act.
Fewer Wooden Vessels Than Planned.
No statement was made concerning
wooden ships, but it is understood
the intention Is to commander such
wooden vessels building as the gov
eminent needs. General Goethals
plans to supplement the program for
great steel fleet with some wooden
vessels, although he will not build 80
many as was originally contemplated
by the shipping board before the fleet
corporation was formed with full pow
ers to build ships.

June figures are not yet available but
will be. published when secured.
The good record from the Waiakea
quarry was made possible by the use
Of the special dump" barge that was
designed by former Contractor Mar
shall who, from May, 1916, to the tim .
that he was forced out Of the con.

the Waiakea quarry per month. The
present contractor has kept up the
average since then from this particu'
lar quarry, but the Waipio delivery
has fallen off
In all, up to May 81, the present
contractor has dumped from the Waia-
kea quarry 23,S09 TONS. while he has
also placed 1895 tons from the Wal
pic quarry. This means an average
per month for the six months ending
