OUR SHIP BUILDING

G. E. Noblit, president of the An
clote Shipbuilding company, is in re-
ceipt of telegram from Manager j.
E. Sheldon, who went to Philadelphia
in an effort to secure new contracts
for this plant, stating that no such
contracts will be made by the gov
ernment
We do not understand this to mean
that the Anclcte Shipbuilding COM
pany is going out of business. The
contrary is quite probable. If the
government has no further need of
such vessels as this yard is prepared
to build, it doesn't follow that private
contracts may not be entered upon.
The need of vessels, particularly sail
ing vessels, will be much greater than
ever. The American merchant marine
has always been inadequate. And now,
with a commercial demand never be-
fore known to this country, both coast
wise and foreign going bottoms must
be forthcoming. Previous to the war
marine carriers had little if any as
sisrance from the government. Leg
islation has tended to retard rather
than encourage it. More than rs per
cert Of American money invested in
f0reign-go vessels has been under
foreign flags. England and Germany
built up a foreign marine trade by
Fastening the building Of ships. The
United States is now in a position to
control the commerce of the world.
Will she do it? We believe so, and
she can do it only by such legislation
as will encourage the building of a
merchant marine. IF this is done our
domestic marine commerce will grow
proportionately and the demand for
coastwise vessels will increase. Con-
sequently those places in a position to
build ships will be given opportunity
for business And so Tarpon Springs
may yet come on as a snipbuilding
center. No other industry could do
more for US. Let US hope that in the
near fuaure developments may mate
rialize into something good.

sured Solf that this country would do
it. German agents are already buying
vast stores of everything to eat and
wear. Germany is in a bad way.
Shoes are rented by the hour; no one
can buy a suit of clothes without re-
linquishing his old suit, which is
mended and passed on and on, down
the line to utter worthlessness. Un-
derclothing is anything that will hold
together and largely made of paper.
Food is scarce and such as it is
mostly substitutes. Hence, the
United States, with our enemies
knocking for help, will virtually be
feeding and clothing more than half
the world. Watch my predictions.
Within a few weeks we will begin to
feel the pinch of necessities more
than we have felt it during the war"

HEARING FROM THE BOYS.

H. L. Whitney, of The Leader, is in
receipt today Of an interesting letter
from his boy, Corp. Loren R. Whitney,
at present with Co. D, Casual battal-
ion, U. S. infantry, now at Camp Mer-
rift, N. J. Corporal Whitney at the
outbreak of the war between this
country and Germany enlisted in Co.
G, End Florida regiment at Tampa.
When the national guards were mus
tered into U. S. service, he went with
his regiment to Camp Wheeler, Ga,
where he became a part of the 124th
infantry After more than a year at
Camp Wheeler, they were sent to
Camp Mills, Long Island, preparatory
to- embarkation. They remained there
three weeks. The "fiu" epidemic came
just as the 124th was preparing to
embark. Corporal Whitney was strick-
en-, and, on the day of embarkation at
Hoboken, was unable to roll his pack.
Determined not to be left behind, he
got one of the boys to roll his pack,
strap it TO his back and assist him
aboard where he endeavored to avoid
the doctor, but without success. We
print excerpts from his letter to show
the spirit that actuates our boys who
are stalking their lives for democracy.
We have seen many letters from
them, and this one is not an exception.
With this spirit in our armies, we
cannot fail to accomplish cur work
Co. D, Casual Battalion,
Camp Merritt, N. j.,
Nov. 9, 1918.
Ny dear Father:
Yours of the 3rd came yesterday,
and I certainly was glad to get it.
Co. L has been disbanded and all the
men and two of the officers transfer
red to Co. D. In other words, the
two companies have been consolidated
in Co. D. There is strong rumor
here that all the permanent men are
to be sent over seas. Our force has
practically taken charge of the Office
here.
I will always hate the in
fueuza worse than anything else in
the world, because it kept me from
going to France with Co. G, and every
tirle | think of that night they took
me OF the ship in New York, I get
mad. I believe l, would have gotten
we'll on the way over if they had left
me on the ship, and now they are "over
there" and | am still here in camp in
the United States. I have read in the
paper where the boys of Co. G. have
arrived safely over seas. Now
that the war is over, l suppose that
the men, or some of them, will be
coming home soon. Married men, and
those with dependents will be dis
charged first. IN that case I will be
one of the first to get out.
Much love, from
LOREN.
While our thoughts are running
along this line, let us remember the
needs of the times. Our boys will be
coming back-those who are alive and
able to travel, as soon as circumstanc-
es will permit. They need help now.
Will you give it to them? Yes, of
course you will. Now is the time.
Come to the big meeting tonight and
hear this matter discussed.

Few Saloons Violate Orders.

The first fuelless Monday passed with
general observance of the letter of the
mandate. A few saloonkeepers were ac-
tive in disobedence of the order. and they
are to meet with swift prosecution, accord
ing to Robert w. Childs, assistant to the
Attorney General. Many saloons were
open, but kept strictly within the provi-
, sions of the fuel administrator.
Despite curtailment of elevator service
and the ban against light and heat, it was
estimated that more than SO per cent of
| the tenants of office buildings were in their
usual quarters yesterday. By far the
| larger number followed the edict of the
fuel authorities but in several of the
! large buildings it was reported some of the
tenants opened radiators and turned on
electric lights.
| All parochial and private schools Of
Chicago were closed today until next
Monday, while the grade public schools
closed for a week and scheduled for re-
opening tomorrow, also will remain closed
| until next Monday on account of the fuel
shortage. This is the result of an order
Of Mr.. Durham. who regarded the coal
situation as serious enough to warrant his
action. High schools alone will remain
lopen.
| The order will keep at home nearly
$4,000 pupils who have been going to
school while the grade public schools
have been closed.

More Coalless Monday Schedules.

Hereafter there will be "coalless
Monday" schedule on the transit lines
Iof New York city due to the experience
gained yesterday by the operating Of
ficials. The usual holiday schedules
call for no morning or evening rush
hours" but yesterday there were peak
loads in the morning and again in the
evening because of the large number
of persons going to and from the finan-
cial district, where the banks remained
open. The matinee crowds resulted in
congestion during the early and late
afternoon. and in the evening the II e
ater crowds furnished another problem
for the trainmen.
The closing of hundreds of business
and Industrial houses for the past four
days has resulted in an accumula tion
of mail in the main and branch post
offices in the metropolitan district that
will duplicate the Christmas burdens
of the mail carriers when they start on
their rounds tomorrow. While many
firms have responded to Postmaster
Pattons appeal to permit janitors,
watchmen and other agents to receive
mail for them. such cooperation was
not general and congestion resulted.
Mail not sent for or not delivered will
be taken out tomorrow when the en-
barge on non-essential business is

Zero and Snow Hamper Chicago.

CHICAGO. January 22-Although the
five-day order of the federal fuel ad-

traitor Durham regards the coal prob
lem of Chicago and its surrounding
territory as still serious. Just as the
situation began to clear yesterday. so
far as the Chicago district was con-
cerned, several inches of snow fell in
the mining sections of Illinois, and the
temperature in the Last few days has
been almost constantly below zero
Zero weather has played havoc with
the efforts of the railroad men and the
miners to get coal to Chicago, and the
weather forecaster predicted snow and
more cold today.
THE condition can be restored to nor
NAL only as the railroads and mines are
able to ship and produce normal quanti-
ties" Mr. Durham said.

Ship Tie-Up in New York Har-

in a Week.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 22.-No essen
tial ship in New York harbor is being
prevented from sailing for lack of fuel,
according to ]. E. Parsons, coal expert,
detailed by the United States Shipping
Board to supervise the bunkering Of
vessels here. He said that of 213 ships
awaiting coal in this port week ago, but
eighty-one, none Of them "vital to the
needs of the allies, remained to be
coaled today.
This was the first word to come from
authoritative sources in New York indi-
eating that the fuel situation had been
relieved materially through the five-day
Industrial Suspension and its resultant
curtailed coal consumption and loosening
Of freight congestion.
Veteran harbormen say they cannot
remember a time when the ice menace
here was so great. The ice foes
average 200 square feet, jamming the
shore line of Brooklyn. Manhattan and
Staten Island. TWO large transatlan-
tic liners spent four hours crushing
through ice ten inches thick before
gangplanks could be put out. Ihe
Hudson and East rivers are filled with
floating ice cakes.
Weather Holds Back Fuel.
The ice conditions also have serious
ly hampered the movement of coal to
this city in barges from tidewater.
Fuel administrators were disappointed
because of the comparatively small
tonnage of coal received during heat
less Monday" but attributed the de-
ficiency largely to the unusual weather
conditions. Eighty-two tugs. crippled
by the ice, are tied up at dry docks.
In spite of an unexpected setback, due
to a misunderstanding of orders, where
by thousands of truckmen stopped
a ork at noon yesterday or did not
work at all, some progress was noticed
in relieving the freight congestion.
Transportation officials anticipated mark
ed improvement in the next few days
unless severe weather disarranSeS
carefully made plans.
Many of the city's industries resumed
business today. having been closed on
the first of the "heat1esS and workleSS"
Mondays, but a large army .of wage
earners had another day Of enforced
idleness, in obedience to the orders of
the national fuel administration. Local
fuel administrators expressed them
selves as well pleased with the results
obtained by yesterdays shutdown. The
number of violations reported was much
smaller than administrators expected.
The theaters and other amusement
places, which were specially privileged

Proclaim your Loyal Service

THE FABRIC OF OUR FLAGS
Adapted from poem by william Ludlun. Jr.,
on The Fabric" printed in THE Photo hra.'
The fabric of our flags was spun
From more than simple thread,
ST was woven from the hearts and
hopes
Of our heroic dead;
The blue field proves their constancy,
The red their sacrifice,
The white the Faith for which they
died,
And nobly paid the price.
The stars were plucked from
Heavens vault
And stitched upon the blue
AS shining lamps of Liberty
To light the whole world through.
God blessed the shuttle as it sped
To warp and wool entwine,
And Love, by deft and tender touch,
Completed the design.
ST was Freedom snatched them from
the loom
For Liberty to bear,
As banner, pledge and star of Hope
To mankind = everywhere.
All that we are, or hope to be
Is woven in their folds;
The glory of our Nation stands -
A Nation we uphold.
The fabric of our flags was spun
By those who lived and died
That we might have that liberty
For which they Fate defied;
And we, if of their breed and blood,
Must strive with every breath,
For those that follow after us,
Yea, even unto - death!
