CHOPTANK Blue VISIBLE
Ice Moving Rapidly Out oil River,
And Water is Visible For The
First Time Since The Middle of
December.

The warm spring days have GER
tainly had depressing effect on the
ice in Cambridge creek and the
Choptank river. The beautiful blue
of the river could be seen today for
the first time since the middle of
December, when the cold weather
set in, freezing the creek and river
and tieing up navigation for the
longest period in recent years.
Today the thaw, which has been
going on for several days, is break
ing the ice, and the foes are moving
down the river Around the whar-
YES the shippers and crews of the
boats, which have been bo+s9d fast
in the ice during the freeze, H5,e get
ting their craft in shape fo--' the
work which the spring and summer
will call for.
Not only has the river experienced
a change, but ON land signs of spring
housekeeping are in evidence. The
streets of Cambridge, which were
left in a dirty condition by the
heavy SHOWS, received a good bath
today. Chief of Police Brannock,
with corps of able assistants, in
Guiding two members of Rescue Fire
Company, worked all day on the paw
ed streets, washing away the refuse,
and mkaing the streets fit for the
public to use.

SALVATION ARMY WORK
In FRANCE ENDORSED
BY This Organization to Assist
Red Cross.

Word has just been received from
Washington that the League for
National Defense has given official
endorsement and praise to the work
done by the Salvation Army in
France, in assisting the Red Cross
in the manufacture of garments and
in working among the troops at the
environments. This news was receiv-
ed by wire at the New York Head
quarters of the Salvation Army to-
day.
Cables from newspaper correspon-
dents in France received within the
past week, praise the work of the
Salvation Army girls in their efforts
to render service to our boys at the
front. Washing socks and linen in
wholesale quantities; operating sock
exchanges, where soiled socks are
exchanged for clean ones; carrying
buckets Of coffee at night up into the
front line trenches and suffering the
same hardshipS that are endured by
seasoned troops, are only few of
the instances of the heroic work
done by these American girls at the
front. They receive no salary or
compensation during their volunteer

SHIPYARD PROPOSITION
LOOKED UPON FAV0RABLY
II Government Contracts Can be Sc
cured Company May be Formed
With Capital Stock OF 100000.

At the meeting of the Board of
/ Trade Wednesday night, Messrs. Yer
non S. Bradley and Joseph w.
Brooks, who have been interested in
the proposed shipyard for Cam
bridge, made report on the infor-
nation they gathered from a visit to
Baltimore, where they held d con-
ference with Mr.. Lynn, in charge OF
the Shipbuilding work for this dis
trict The report was a very favor
able one, and ii was decided by
those present that if Government
contracts could be secured a com
pany would be formed to raise the
necessary amount of stock, which
amount was thought to be about
100000.
In order for a committee to go
before the Government with sub
stantial proposition, Mr.. Brooks
agreed to subscribe $4,000, and it
was decided to ask the four banks
to uuderwrite $4,000 each, making
$4,000 to start. While represen-
tatives of the banks, present at the
meeting, could not officially state
whether it would meet with the ap-
prevail of the board of directors, it
was thought that it would be no
trouble to secure their endorsement,
as something of the sort is badly
needed for Cambridge.
If Government contracts are Sc
cured the management will pay stan
dard wages, the scale being adopted
by the Government. This will bring
many carpenters home who have
gone to different shipyards in Balti-
more and nOintS on tho Delaware
Those behind the project expect Mr..
Brooks, with his sons. who are ex-
pert shipbuilders, to take hold of
the proposition, and under the cir
cumstances it is certain that it will
be no trouble to get the 100000
stock subscribed. Mr.. Lynn, during
the recent conference with Messrs.
Brooks and Bradley, stated that
there would be a great demand for
ships for the next fifteen years

II feel that in justice I owe such

and men of the army, who have for-
gotten themselves and labored self
and, as I think, success
fully in the building of a great army.
1T is due also to the great num-
Der Of men of business and of affairs
who have, accepted the invitation Of
the war department to come to
Washington and brought their busi-
ness experience, their talents and
their judgment to the work in hand
And think the people of the coun-
try are entitled to have at least n
summary of what has been done by
America in the war.
II. therefore, respectfully request
that your committee arrange an op-
portunity for me to make such a
statement and that the time and
place be fixed SO as to enable ali
members of the senate and the house
of representatives who are SO dis
posed to attend.
III this request can be complied
with, shall be happy to be advised
at your earliest convenience Of the

Wilson's Message---
Points Considered
By Won Hertlinq
Text of the German Chan
cellor's Remarks in Dis
cussion of Statement of
Peace Terms by President
Wilson. /

Amsterdam, Jan. 25.-Chancellor
Won Hertling in his address before the
main committee of the reichstag yes
terday referred to President Wilson'S
address as follows:
Il shall not enlarge upon the dis
torted representation of German poll
cy which Is contained in Mr.. Wilson'S
the. poi1iss (which Mr. 81 WILSON, iays'
down there, NOT less than fourteen
points, in which he formulates his
pAace program
1.-The first point is the demand that
there shall be no more secret inter-
national agreements. History shows 1t
is we, above all others who would be
able to agree to the publicity of diplo-
matte documents. Our defensive alli-
ance with Austria Hungary was
known to the whole world from 1888.
while the offensive agreement of the
enemy states first saw the light OF
publicity during the war, through the
revelations of the secret Russian
archives. The negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk are being conducted with full
publicity.
I'm his second point Mr.. Wilson
demands freedom of shipping on the
seas in war and peace. This also is
demanded by Germany as the first
and one of the most important re-
quirements for the future. Therefore
there is here no difference in opinion
1T would, however, be highly i'm
portant for the freedom of shipping
in future if strongly fortified naval
bases on important international
routes, such as England has at Glib
raltar, Malta, Alden, Hong Kong, the
Falkland Islands and many other
places, were removed.
Point three: We, too, are in thor
ough accord with the removal of eco
nomic barriers which interfere with
trade in superf1uous manner. We. too
condemn economic war, which would
inevitably bear within it causes Of fu-
ture warlike complications.
Point four: Limitation of arma-
ments: AS already declared by us, the
idea of limitation of armaments is en-
tirely discussable. The financial posi-
ton of all European states after the
war might most effectively promote a
satisfactory solution.
(Cries of hear! hearty It is there
fore clear that an understanding
might be reached without difficulty
on the first four points of Mr.. Will
sons program.
II now come to the fifth point: Set
tlement of all colonial claims and dis
putes. Practical realization of Mr..
Wilson's principle in the realm of re-
ality will encounter some difficulties
in any case. believe that for the

ious and recommend that everything
he done in every direction to head

lieve that as it stands today nothing
could stop criminal prosecutions"
The following points were declared
by the report to be in favor of the
packers:
This administration has not dis
turbed business by prosecution and
does not wish to be known as appeal
ing to the mob spirit. 1t does not
wish to spend money. as its revenues
are in bad shape. 1t must come be-
