SOUTHERN WOODEN SHIPS.

About the LIST OF April, the three
masted schooner Glynn left Bruins
wick. Ca. where she was built, and
sailed for Europe with a cargo of g.
600 barrels of resin. In addition to
making the voyage in safety, there is
every reason 10 believe the published
statement that the Glynn brought
fame TO the South, by being the first
Southern-built ship to sink sub
marine in combat on July the
schooner City of Orange arrived at
Genoa with a large cargo. she being
the first pitch pine ship built at
Orange, Texas.
Thus the controversy about the
merits of wooden ships has some light
shed upon il by the fine performances
OF these Southern vessels. There are
many other wooden ships under con-
struction al Brunswick. Savannah,
Wilmington, Baltimore. and some gulf
ports New shipbuilding yards are
springing into being elsewhere. The
Foundation Company of New York is
ready to make contracts to build a
wooden ship every ten days. 1t is Said
that the company has already demon
strated its ability to beat even that
record.

Fatal Engine Fumes.

The poisonous character of the
fumes arising from gasoline engine
may be appreciated by the following
extract from recently published
book. IF gasoline engine, produc-
ing cubic feet of co per minute were
allowed to run in a tightly-closed gar
age that was u feet high. 10 feet long
and 10 feet wide; that is, having ca
pacity of 2.750 cubic feet, it could pro-
duce an atmosphere, If the latter were
thoroughly mixed, containing about /
per cent co in about five minutes. This
percentage of co in cir is a fatal pro-
portion, and would probably kill a per-
son in less than minute. In fact, an
exposure for as long as 20 minutes to
an air containing as little as OBS per
cent co would make most people very

GERMANY,S LOSSES.

The Berlin Tageblatt reminds the
German people that one of the great
est losses OF the war is the confisca-
ton OF enemy countries of patent
rights owned by Germans. Another
German paper estimates this loss at
more than s5.0O0.0OO. 600 Already
France and England have taken over
these German patents. The United
States viii do so shortly. Just how
such patents viii be available TO the
people OF this country has not yet been
decided II is possible that the United
States may allow their use upon pay
ment Of royalty to the government
which may go far toward solving the
problem of raising war funds Certain
it is, Germany will lose the monopoly
she has enjoyed in the manufacture of
many things covered by patent rights
in this country.

ON ANTWERP ROAD
Henry Van Dyke Paints Pen Pic
ture of Wars Horrors.
s'Why Has This Thing Come Upon Us
and Our chiIdren7" Question on
Lips Of Belgian Refugees.

Along the straight. glistenIng road,
through a dim arcade Of dropping
trees, a tunnel of faded green and
gold. dripping with the misty rain Of
a late October afternoon. a human
tide was flowing. not swiftly but sure
ly with the patient. pathetic slowness
OF weary feet and numb brains and
heavy hearts.
Yet they were in haste. all Of these
old men and women. fathers and moth
ers and little children: they were fly
ing as fast as they could. either away
from something that they feared or
toward something that they desired.
For that was the strange thing
the tide on the road flowed in two di-
rections.
Some fed away from ruined homes
TO escape the perils of war. Some fled
back to escape the desolation of exile.
But all were fugitives. anxious TO be
gone. starving along the road one way
or the other, and making no more
speed than a creeping snail's pace of
unutterable fatigue.
saw many separate things in the
tide, Henry Van Dyke writes in Scrib-
ner's.
A boy straining to push wheelbar-
row with his pale mother in it, and
his two little sisters at his side. A
peasant with his two girls driving
their lean, detected cows back to some
unknown pasture. A bony horse tug
ging at wagon heaped high with
bedding and household gear, on top Of
which sat the wrinkled grandmother
with the tiniest baby in her arms,
while the rest of the sfamily stumbled
alongside-and the cat was curled up
on the softest coverlet in the wagon.
Two painting dogs, with red tongues
hanging out and splayed feet clawing
the road, Juggling heavy-laden cart
while the master pushed behind and
the woman pulled at the shaft.
Strange, antique vehicles crammed
with passengers. Couples and groups
and sometimes larger companies Of
foot travellers. Now and then soli-
tary man or woman, old and shabby,
bundle on back, eyes on the road,
plodding through the mud and the
mist, under the high archway of yell
lowing leaves.
All these distinct pictures / saw,
yet it was all one vision-a vision of
humanity with its dumb companions
in flight-infinitely slow, painful, pitt
full flight
/ saw no tears, heard no cries of
complaint. But beneath the dumb and
patient haste on all those dazed faces
/ saw q question:
"What have we done? Why has this
thing come upon us and our chill
dren?"
Somewhere heard trumpet blown.
The spikes on the helmets of little
troop of soldiers flashed for an instant,
far down the sloppy road. Through
the humid dusk came the dull, distant
booming of the unseen guns Of con-
quest In Flanders.
That was the only answer.

AGAIN, LIFE's TRAGEDIES.

For a small place. Annapolis has
mad more tragedies to the square foot
this summer than any city OF its size
on the map.
Scarcely in the recollection OF the
oldest Inhabitant has there been
more hair-spliting, blood curdling,
spine-chill chasing events crowded
thick and fast upon the heels of each
other. aud now We are In the midst,
or there is in our midst. the greatest
Of all horrs; murder SO diabolical
that Est Side, Chicago, might glory in
its awfulness.
We began the summer with the
triple drowning of 3 candidates for the
Naval Academy, who. attempting to
cross the Severn on a blusty after
noon, were capsized and went to a
watery grave. The search for their
bodies continued for nearly three
weeks and the recovery of two of them
by their own fathers was the ending Of
the sad chapter
Later another candidate was drown
ed nearer the city's confines. His un-
timely end was surrounded by the
saddest OF circumstances
The next drowning in these waters
was young girl, the victim only has
ing arrived here on visit few hours
before her death. when the waters Of
South River closed over her and ended
her young life
None OF us have forgotten the sad
ness with which our entire County
was enshrouded by the tragic death
OF noble, good woman, whose life
was snuffed out by flames, nor have
we forgotten the sorrow we felt that
the first u. S. Naval officer to lose his
life in this war of nations was SON
in-law of Annapolis.
All these tragedies are fresh in our
mind, when their horror is deepened
by the latest and most horrible TRACE
dy, the murder OF young woman
scarcely known TO any of us, yet
whose life was crushed out by brutal
hands that are unknown and may
crush out the life of another
In the name of humanity we plead
that no stone be left unturned until
this criminal is hunted down, is
brought to Justice
The annals of our fair city must not
be stained with blood and the stainer
escape. Surely there must be some
clue TO follow. There never yet was
q murderer so clever that did not leave
some trace of his crime and this one
can be no exception.
Annapolis must put its blood hounds
on the scent of their criminal and he
must be brought to Justice Money
should not be spared. nor time, nor
thought in case OF this kind
We must not let this criminal es-
cape. cost what it may. Our reputa-
ton as decent, moral city depends
upon it. A murderer must not abide
within our gates without being
brought to Justice
