CONGRESSMAN JONES.

At this critical period IN the his
tory of The United States; when pa
triotic Virginians see the necessity OF
continuing our able and experienced
representatives in both branches Of
Congress, the announcement of the
serious condition of Representative
Jones will be read with regret no:
only by MS constituency in his own
district, but by Democrats everywhere
in the Old Dominion According 10
statements made, he is speeches. and
his condition is critical. While hopes
are entertained of his ultimate rccov-
cry, long time will necessarily elapse
before Inc can resume his COMPRESSION
al duties.
Mr.. Jones had been a sufferer from
rheumatism for years, but he had cor
tinued in the performance of his duties
notwithstanding until Sunday, whel:
paralysis affected his entire right side.
This able representative entered
Congress in 1891, from which time he
has given his undivided attention to
his duties. He lis now chairman of
the committee on insular affairs, a
very important committee, especially
while the country is at war.

daylast. While Colonel Colin H. Liv-
ingston, the president of the corpora
ton, was making brief speech in
which he called attention to the fact
that, although the ground on which
the shipyard buildings were being
erected had come down through a
grant from England many years ago
to the previous owners and from them
to the shipbuilding corporation, it had
never been put TO any actual use until
the present, when it is being made
use of as a shipbuilding yard in whicf
to build ships to fight for the United
States.
While he was speaking, an aero
plane, built in Alexandria for war
purposes, flew over the grounds, and
submarine chaser, also constructed
in this city, passed down the Pc
tomac river in sight of the assembled
multitude, on its way to Norfolk, to be
used in. the war against the Huns.
Within the next few months it is cN-
pectcd that still larger steel ships
will be built and sent away on sinlht'
