BUILD ENOUGH BOATS TO SAIL
ONE EVERY THREE MILES
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC 0
Washington, April 12.-To smash
Germany's U-boat blockade United
States will virtually bridge the At
lantic.
Plans for construction of 5000
small wooden bOats-mOst tremen-
dOUs merchant shipbuilding program
ever Undertaken-haVe been COM
pleted and approved by the president.
Boats will be used to transport
food and supplies to entente ports.
This is Americas answer to Lloyd
Georges appeal:
The ultimate success Of the allied
cause depends, in my judgment, on
our solving the tonnage difficulties
with which we are confronted"
Government shipping board has
sent out a call for 100000 lumber
men and wood workers to begin the
task at once.
Congress has authorized $5O,OOO,-
900 to start the program and will be
asked for $3O0,000,00O more.
First thousand ships are to be
completed within Is months and i'm
mediately thereafter 1000 more will
be ordered. Each vessel will be of
5000 tons with speed of ten knots.
1t is purpose to'Tun them in such
fashion that they will constitute
veritable pontoOn bridge across sea-
one boat every three miles. The ire
mendous number is expected to eX-
haust most valiant efforts of U-boat
commanders to cut off supplies from
England and France.
Work on ways for ships has al
ready begun at Jacksonville, Fla,
Beaumont, Tex, and half dozen 9TH
er points.

FIGHT ON ARMY BILL-FOES OF
SELECTIVE DRAFT STRONG


Washington, April 12.-Threat of
a serious fight over the general staff
army bill grew in congress today.
Majority Leader Kitchin, sounding
anti-conscription sentiment, found
it very strong. Friends of the Sc
lectiVe draft system are dwindling,
but most still believe President VIII
son will force it through.
The senate met today with prac-
tically a clean slate. The house did
not meet. Tomorrow it will take up
and pass, according to Majority
Leader Kitchin, the $7,OOO,O00,0O0
bond bill, this eountry's first .''bit' in
the world war.
Hours of debate are expected on
the revenue bill. House leaders will
make no effort, they said, to shut of
the speeches. But they promised the
house will stay in session tomorrow
night until the bill passes.
Several amendments to the bill are
expected.

RoUMANIA AND HER NEIeHBoRs

Roumania proper is a country of
$4,000 square miles, with a popula-
ton of less than eight million. 1t is
thus slightly larger than Pennsylva-
MIA, although it has half a million
fewer people than the Keystone
state. 1t has a population of 141
per square mile, as compared with
Serbia's 1877, Greece's "a and Bull
garia's l08. Its imports amount to
SIS per capita. as compared to Ser
bias $3.50, Greece's $3.50 and Bull
garia's 1915. Its exports per cap
tia amount to i'$1S.42, as compared
with $6.73 in the case of Serbia,
$7.21 in the case of Greece, and
$751; in the case Of Bulgaria. She
also spends approximately one and
a half times as much per capita for
governmental purposes as Greece.

HERE IS REAL LUCKY STONE
Owner Is Justified IN Belief That "
Has Saved the Lives Of Two
That Owned IT,

George +. Kunz relates this little
story Of a lucky stone and the adj
ventures Of its owners:
"Some years ago a meteorite was
given TO Edward Heron Allen, the
famous writer on palmistry and the
violin, and this gifted aman always
wore it about him. One morning he
awakened to find that the entire roof
above him had fallen in, except just
that portion over his bed.
'He told the story to one Of the
best-known ladies in Boston, one
who is known for her public spirit,
her love Of art and her faultless man
ner Of entertaining. This lady sue
cessfully urged Allen to give her the
meteorite.
"a few days later, while out driv-
ing, a great truck with two runaway
horses attached to it struck her car
riage. Instinctively she raised her
muff to protect her face. The muff
was almost cut in two but the lady
was not hurt. A few days later,
while she was walking under some
scaffolding, it fell, and the open part
where the hoists went up proved to
be. just where she stood. Although
surrounded by ruin, she remained
unframed"
Whether the stone was factor in
averting disaster to its owners in
their moments of peril is, however,
a matter apart from the facts in the
case. = Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.

MEAN LITTLE THRUSTS STING
Words Which Were Merely
Spoken "in Fun"

What good do you get out of Civ
ing people mean little thrusts? If
this is the sort of thing you enjoy,
there is something wrong in your
makeup. There is a spot in your
heart which is morally decayed.
Its badness may not cause you to
become positively dangerous, but
you have within you some of the
same quality of cruelty which makes
the heather hang men up by the
thumbs, because they enjoy the suf-
fering of their victims.
The hurts you infict are mental.
The barbarian tortures are physical.
Mental anguish is more painful than
physical hurt. 1t cuts deeper and
lasts longer.
You may think that the one who
is the butt of your remarks does not
feel them deeply; but you know how
sensitive you are to similar thrusts.
( If you will stop to think mo-
ment, and place yourself in the po-
sition of the one you attack, the
chances are that you will not be
guilty in future of the mean little
things in which you now indulge
yourself as matter of ga little fun
