"The question, when peace comes, will be Of operation rather than of pro- vision of more ships. The shipbuild- ing industry of the country, enormously stimulated by war conditions, will face curtailment rather than further eX- pansion. The huge development for construction of wooden ships, made possible only by war and the ravages of the submarines, must be almost wholly abandoned or reorganiZed for other services.
 When the government comes to sell or charter the vessels of it's merchant fleet to private organizations there will be the opportunity to arrange con- ferences in the different trades, which will establish rates in harmony with costs of operation and at levels which will encourage the growth of Amer ican trade with all markets, fair to both shipper and ship owner; control tonnage, insuring a sufficient supply for all requirements; and in general effect and maintain a standardization of conditions that will make for the successful operation of the rehabilitated American merchant marine. At the same time sufficient supervision of tforeign bottoms may be maintained through control, of clearance and by other means to prevent undue advant- age to foreign ships with regard to American commerce.

amendment of the navigation laws in time to render effective service in the operation of the new American fleet"
 Accompanying the resolution Is a re- port prepared by the councils commit tee on merchant marine, and signed by James A. Farrell, chairman of the council and president of the United States Steel Corporation, and P. A. s. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine company. Edward \. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board, is a member of the council.
 The report shows that the program of the shipping board covers the con- struction and other acquisition of 2,300 vessels of a total dead weight tonnage of nearly 100000 tons.
 The committee points out that the experience of Great Britain has proved that less than so jer cent of British foreign trade is carried in British bot toms
 If the carriage of 50 per cent of American foreign trade in American ships" says the committee, would render the United States reasonably free from the necessity of employing a foreign merchant marine for it's carry ing trade, the program of the shipping board and emergency fleet corporation at present under execution would ac- complish the desired result
 "In 1915" continues the report, q, ,871, ,543 tons of American shipping carried one seventh. 14.3 per cent of the total foreign commerce of the United States. On this basis a fleet of 13,100,S01 tons would have been re- quired for the transportation of the entire foreign commerce of the coun- try. But on the basis of British ex- perience, an American fleet of 7,S60,0 tons would would do the proportion ot carrying of American foreign trade that naturally would fall to American ships. The present American program that is calculated to produce an aggre- gate of nearly fourteen million tons o1 shipping within two years will furnish on this basis of estimating, ample pro- vision for the carriage of the norma 50 per cent of American foreign com lnerce in American bottoms, with lberal surplus of American shipping for participation in the carrying tradt of the rest of the world"
 The report calls attention to the fac that six months after the proclamation of peace the emergency powers dele. gated to the president cease, and tha five years after the end of the wa all operation of merchant vessels by the emergency fleet corporation mus cease. Thereafter the shipping board may sell, lease or charter" govern. ment vessels to private citizens and must not take operation of these yes sels through government agencies un. til after a bona fide effort to secur, their operation through private enter. prise has failed. The report continues

forward manner to the court.

Perry obtained a divorce from his wife in April, 1916, on the ground of assertion. He claims at the time of separation he provided her with home and gave her all the com munity property valued at S1,250, keeping nothing for himself but q couple of mules. the value of which he claims was but s35. In addition to this he was to pay S20 month alimony. Some. time since he made application to have the alimony de cree set aside. Judge Lyman he!d that proper showing of change of circumstances had not been made and refused to set aside the order.
 Perry now claims that since the entering of the decree his business affairs have materially changed. His future comfort, he alleges, de- bends on whether or not he must pay alimony. If he does he must give up all thought of the wife who is to care for his belongings.
 He further claims that Mrs Perry has four grown sons who live at home and who are able and willing to support her.

Mr.. N. B. Jones, formerly a jailer
of this county, has consented to make
the race for the office of jailer sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party at its August primary, 1917.
Mr. Jones has been urged by his
numerous friends for some time to
announce himself for this office and
has had the matter under considera-
ton. The pressure was so great that
he has finally consented to run. He
is well remembered for his many acts
of kindness to the prisoners while in
the office before and is formidable
candidate. The man that beats Mr..
Jones, will perhaps know that Jones
is runner from away back. When
the boys in the hills and hollows hear
that their old friend has consented to
make the race, they will enthuse for
him and will know exactly how to
mark the ballot for him.
