EX-GERMANS
IN PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS TRADE
IBy Associated PTess

MANILA, p. J.. July 28.-The hrst
of the smaller OF the cOmmandeereo
German vessels in the Philippines "a
approach the completion OF her re
pairs will be put into commission with
in two or three days, to be followed
by two more.
These three vessels probably viii
be the first Of the interisland fleet
which the Philippine government ex
pects to establish with the seized yes
sells. The % steamers seized In the
Philippines at the time OF the rupture
of relations with Germany had an
aRRregate tonnage OF $4,000. The
Philippine government while recog
MIXING that the larger steamers should
be put either into the Pacific or At
lantic trade, as the National Ship
ping Board thinks best, made plea
TO Washington that ten Of the small
or vessels representing perhaps a
third of the total tonnage, be assigned
to the government for such service
az the insular authorities deemed
wise.
While the chief use to which the
German steamers will be put, will be
either in inter.island traffic or in the
sea trade between the Philippines and
the China coast, the insular govern
ment has in mind the possibility OF
employing one Of the vessels perhaps
in trade between the islands and
Spain. There is a population OF close
TO 10000 Spaniards in the Philippines,
They alone provide market for many
Spanish products.
Meanwhile, work on the larger Ger
man steamers is proceeding rapidly.
Two already have sailed. The outfit.
ting Of so many vessels and in so
short q time has exhausted the sup.
plies Of naval stores In, Manila and
OF the China coast. Some vessels may
have to wait for the arrival Of these
stores from the United States. The
manning of so many vessels also vtr-
tually has exhausted the supply of
sailors In the Philippines, as well as
Whips officers. To fill the ranks Of
ne, sailors 1t is probable that some
n the vessels will recruit Chinese
Eews : in Hongkong. Officers will
have to be imported from the United
States.

'DIRICIBLE WILL MAKE
ALTITUDE TEST TODAY

The big dirigible from the aero
station, which made it's maiden voy-
age" on the nineteenth, made short
trip over the bay yesterday morning.
1t was planned to make an altitude
test but after reaching a height of
1000 feet contrary air currents were
encountered and this test was post
poned. The flight was an even
greater success, states Mr.. Smyth,
manager of the Connecticut Aircraft
Company, than the maiden trip. Four
men made the voyage Friday morn
ing, three members of the crew and
Lieutenant McCrary.
The big dirigible will make an
other flight this morning, leaving the
hangar at $50. If the winds are ia
vorable the altitude test will be made,
states Mr. Smyth. The ship will sail
low over Palafox wharf, where a pho
tographer will take the picture of
the first dirigible in fight in the
United States.

Men Who Don't Enlist and

Deputies in the office of Sheriff
Van Pelt were yesterday closely scru-

and it was said that they will begin
action today against the "loafers."
All persons who may come within
the purview of the statute, which is
broad one, will be arrested and pre-
scented in the court of record for sem
tence.
Vagrancy, under the Florida law,
does not necessarily mean man who

A man may have a job and have q
good income, but under broad in
depreciation of the law anyone who
misspends what he earns, ioiters

ducers who won't enlist must be dealt
with to the limit of the law.

LLOYD GEORGE HEARD
IN STIRRING ADDRESS

London, April 27.-Premier Lloyd
George, in speech in Guild hall to-
asy, appealed to all parties to get
the Irish question settled. Discuss
ing the war, he said the tide has
turned and British troops had real
cnance to fight. During the first 18
days at the battle of Arras, he as
serted, the British had captured four
times as much ground, and 70 per
cent more prisoners, and 300 per cent
more guns than at the beginning of
me Somme offensive. He called the
submarine menace "black piracy"
out declared he was confident the
submarine campaign can be beaten if
.ne governments policy is carried
