in early life an ardent desire to fol-
low the sea for career. She com
municated her ambition 10 her reIa-
tives and friends. but they laughed a:
her. A woman sailor! 1t was impos
sible. they told her.
The young woman was not to be
swayed from her purpose. however,
and she finally found a sympathetic
friend in retired sea captain who
told her of having seen women navi-
gators in the coastwise trade of the
Hawaiian Islands. The girls remar-
kable knowledge of the sea surpris-
ed the old captain who gave her every
encouragement and finally recon-
mended her to the maritime authori-
ties Of Livourne.
Some months later Miss Beluomini
was. by special decree. allowed to
take course in the nautical institute

tonishing. The ease and facility with
,, which she mastered the difficult nau-
tical problems submitted to her won

fessors and fellow students. who aid
ed her in every way possible.

selves however. after she had passed
the required examinations at the in
stitute. The Mariners union refus-
ed as first to break its traditional pol
icy Of admitting a woman to its men,

cerning her plans Miss Beluominl
said:

led period when each day one risks
his life at sea, but I will attempt to
demonstrate to my sailors that a wo-
man may be just as courageous as q
man. II SHOULD be unfortunate
enough to have my boat torpedoed.
shall follow the traditional policy OF
the sea and see that the crew is saved
in boat that has been confided in my
care. My life! am ready to sacrifice
it. am today at the service Of my
country and of her dear and noble sis

ERICA TO MASTER
StlSlFTER THE WAR
lekY mn LEADER IN SHIFTING
s FOR YEARS 10 COME
oklpping Men Think Possession Of
0rses Merchant Fleet WIN be .
Most Powerful Asset.

Cardin. Wales, January 15.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated
Press) - The possession of great
merchant shipping feet will be the
most powerful asset q nation can pos
<ees in the after-war period, according
to Cardiif shipping men. From this
pofnt Of view, 1t is pointed out, the
realixation Of the American shipbuild-
ing program. combined with the Unit
ed States resources in materials
needed by Europe. will make the
United States an almost preponder-
ant factor In world politics for many
years after peace is declared.
The annual reports of the big Car
am shipping companies. which have
lust been made public, all emphasize
this postwar importance Of merchant
kE. One company says:
Ihe d<nand for tonnage will be
eater in 1913 than 1t has been
P1!T, and tie utility of ships will
enormously increase. But the econo-
mic world crisis will not reach its clt-
max until after the war.
.'If the law of supply and demand
was allowed to operate ships might
some day be worth their weight in
gold to their owners. but in the pres
ent controlled state of trade their i'm
mense value as national assets really
detracts from their value as money
making instruments.
''Ships are, and will continue for
some time to be. the most important
s->xA>, 80 III q, h ol MIN o~ n nroeorvo the
Hives Of nations, and the states OF Eu-
rope will not be likely to release their
hold on shipping after the war until
there are sufficient ships to insure
safety in regard to supplies Of food
and other essentials"
The same report cites the e,,t,y of
America into the war as the element
which made possible the practical
government control OF shipping all
over, the world. stSserting; ~
'.The amazing task of bringing the
worlds tonnage under the control OF
the organization became only mat
ter OF time from the moment America
c4me in"
Concerning the ruthless submarine
war, the company says:
"The many acts Of lawlesness and
cruelty which were subsequently COM
mitted by German submarines against
allied and neutral shipping. spreading
death and disaster among innocent
men will forever remain ono OF the
blacklist chapters in the annals of the
worlds shipping history"

NEW ENEMY COMES
FOR SEA WOLVES
SUBMARINE FIGHT.
ERS BEING BUILT
Secretary Daniels Says Contracts for
Several Score" Of Improved
Crafts Are Placed

| washington, Jan. 31.-New sub
marine fighters Of a powerful type
are about to be turned out in the
United States in large numbers. Az
ter testifying today before the house
naval committee on the naval appro-
pfiation bill Secretary Daniels au-
thorized the statement that contracts
for several scores" Of the new craft
have been placed with the Ford Motor
Company OF Detroit. He described
them as half way between a destroy
er and submarine chaser" 200 feet
long and equipped with latest discov-
cries for combating submarines.
All parts of ships except the en-
gines are to be fabricated in Detroit
and the parts shipped to seaboard,
where they will be assembled. Chan
ges in the Fo:d plant to permit the
handling of the work have progressed
so swiftly, Mr.. Daniels said, that the
deliveries during the coming summer
are assured.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers now
in use. They will have steam power
with a crater radius of action, will
be more seaworthy and will be able to
carry heavier armament. 1t has de-
veloped that the latest German sub
marines are equipped with guns
which outrange those of small chas-
ers and even some merchant ships.

pal owner OF the Ford Company. re-

miral David w. Taylor. with two as

plant. After the officers had made
their report the contracts were plac-
ed.
Possibility that additional cont
racts might be given other automo-
bile firms was suggested by Mr.. DAN
iels.
In connection with Mr.. Daniels re-
newed recommendation for a large in
erase in both temporary and perma-
nent enlistment personnel of the
navy. it was learned today that the
department plans extensive enlarge
ment OF several existing training
stations. Plans already have been ap-
proved 70 renlarging the Pelham Bay
IN. " and Norfolk (Va.) stations.
Five thousand men now are at Pei
ham Bay and 10000 at Norfolk.
Secretary Daniels said the navy
now has $4,000 men under instruc-
tion and, with the recommended in
crease. will have men enough to sup
ply crews not only for the entire
naval construction program as now
contemplated, but also for the hun
dreds Of merchant ships which are to
be placed uder his supervision.

entrance into the war should settle
the question for Irishmen whether
they should voluntarily enlist in the
British army, in the opinion of Col
onel Arthur Lynch, nationalist and
member of parliament, who is en-
gagged in an Irish recruiting cam
paign.
Friendship with America should
be the deciding factor of all Irish
policy" he said to the Associated
Press correspondent. Il mention
these matters because young Irish
men whom we wish especially to Sc
cure have had their minds captivat-
ed and in same cases perverted by
a propaganda which has its main
origin in America. The deepest mo-
tive of this propaganda is hatred OF
England, but some of the leaders
have been so blinded by their pas
sion of resentment that they have
glided along the path of pro-Ger-
manism and therefore treachery to
the Stars and Stripes.
81 appeal to all Irishmen to give
up our accursed habit of clinging
to a dead past and dwarfing our
living souls by the spectres of half
forgotten defeats. Let us look for
ward, let us help Uncle Sam to the
last ounce, and Ireland, to quote
the words of a song which arose
among the Irish in Australia, Will
have a big brother at the peace con-
ference"

ARMY BANDMASTERS'
SCHOOL STARTED
IN P|T1SBURG

PITTSBURG, Sept. &c. - The
first school for the training of army
bandmasters ever established in this
country is now in operation at the
Carnegie institute of technology
here. The initial class taking the
training is composed of 100 men
from the different camps and can
tonments, and it is expected that
this number will be augmented
with 60 additional musicians within
the next few days.
At present, the men are under in
struction in one large band, but as
soon as other students arrive three
separate bands will be formed.
When the men have completed an
eight weeks course they will be
eligible to form and lead an army
band in a camp, cantonment or
with a division in France.
The students attend school the
same as other soldiers who receive
technical training. Seven hours
each day are devoted to instruction
and practice. Each bandmaster
must qualify as a player on flute,
clarinet, saxophone, cornet, horns,
trombone, tuba and drums.

FISHERY

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 20. -
The Labrador fishery, M of the

foundland cod fishery industry,
threatens to be short this year. The
fish are shipped direct from the
coast to European countries, main
ly Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece,
and high prices are obtained now

ruling before the war started.
The Labrador fishery of New
foundland has not in late years at

folk, men, women and children, mi
grated there every summer for the
fishing season, and the catch in
some years reached 100000 quin-
