SHIPS, AND MORE SHIPS

Ships, and more ships and then still more ships Ihls
is the great urgent demand made by world conditions
There an abundance of food in the world for ALL but
there is not the ships to properly distribute it. Nature
has done her part and provided sufciency The extra
demand for ocean transportation due to the war and
partly to the German submarines is far greater than the
supply In India and Australia there is wheat to spare
enough to supply all the needs of the civilized world but
the scarcity Of ships prevents it being used except last
resort The ships must be given the shortest haul possible
in order to allow them to anywhere near meeting
the demand To haul flour from Australia to France or
England requires more than double the number OF ships
it takes haul the quantity from an Atlantic port
to the same destinations For this long as the
ship shortage exists and America in any way furnish
enough foodstus to get along WITH these sources OF
supply will not be tapped The whole world faces munger
unless the going vessels can have their number
largely increased For this those engaged IN ship
building are doing much for the cause OF liberty as
those who serve at the front 1t is not service accom-
panied by so great physical danger but it is in
really more important for without ships the men at the
front are helpless There call for men to work IN the
logging camps in getting out ship knees and aplane
timber in other work along these lines that should appeal
to the American too old to at the 'front.' but to whom
this work offers chance to his country just as
faithfully and as well.
In this connection it may be stated that one OF the first
things necessary is to get rid of the W. WIS and that
ilk The government has been slow along this hne but
the people are becoming aroused and there are instances
where they are taking the matter into their own hands,
There is storm brewing and it will be sorry day for
the w W. gang when it breaks. With that menace re-
moved the situation will be cleared up and the
Northwest will get down to the business OF turning out
the good wooden ships that will go far toward Wlnnng
the war and keeping hunger from the doors OF our allies
and from our armies in Europe

Berlin Papers Filled With Reviews OF
Achievements Of Dead inventor.
Berlin, March 10.-The Berlin press
is filled with reviews of the life and
achievements of Count Zeppelin, who
shared with Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg the honor Of national popu-
larity.
Count Zeppelin's fame was estab-
lished, however. when the field marshal
was an unknown factor, and the people
remember when airship trips from
Dusseldorf to Berlin by way Of Ham
burg and Bremen were luxurious thrills
to be enjoyed at 200 marks head.
The obituary notices recalled the de-
votions Of the count to the realization
Of his dream which was not only mani
tested in his labors but also in the sac.
rtfice of his fortune.
It is recalled at the time of the
American civil war Count Zeppelin,
then 25 years OF age, shipped on a
French corvette lying in New York har-
Dor, with the purpose OF reaching the
northern lines by way Of Baltimore.
The immediate cause Of his death
was pneumonia. His death shroud Is
his favorite Uhlan uniform In which he
was best known to the public. OF the
long list Of orders conferred on him he
was probably proudest Of the iron
cross which he won in 1870. The cas-
!!.et was sealed this morning and taken
to Stuttgart where the funeral will take
place.

form Of judicial trial in which evidence
of the supernatural is invoked as in q

agencies.
The attorney had been endeavorins
to impress the jury with the alleged

lured the defendants on and Wnen ne

named Booth.

'why wasn't it possible for Gordon
to come into court and face the JuryT
asked the lawyer. Because from MN
the jury would have drawn very dl1-

rests wholly on the evidence of Rooth.
In the. absence of Gordon this trial is

the defendants it should insist on the
production Of Gordon in the interest ol

pause the attorney added:
