JAPANESE EYES WERE OPENED BY
 AMERICAS PLANT

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-Ameri- cas- vast shipbuilding program has opened the eyes of the world to her tremendous possibilities. recently declared Peter o. Knight, Vice President and general counsel of the American International Shipbuild- ing Corporation, which operates the big plant at Hog Island.
 Ut is the best possible evidence that we intend to stick" he said. "The Japanese visitors counted the 50 ways one by one and exclaimed :: Why, we have only ten more ways in our whole country than you have in this one yard And Lord Read ing, of England, declared that it typified the limitlessness of Ameri- ca.
 "Others ask how we can do such things, andg they learn that at the beginning of the war the wealth of the United States was 50,000,- 000,OO0, compared with $85 ,000,- 900 as the wealth of Great Britain, $80, 100000, for Germany and $55,- 00O, ,000 900 for France.

PHILADELPHIA TO

 WAR TIME LAW COMES

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-Practi- cally a dry Pennsylvania is looked for some time in advance of July 1, 1919, the date set for national wartime prohibition. In Philadel- phia the license to sell liquor ex- pires on June 1. The privilege costs nearly $1200 and the author ities do not anticipate that many sa- loon keepers will care to pay that much for the privilege of dispensing liquor for one month.
 Similarly in the interior towns. where the present licenses expire on April 1, the feeling prevails that few liquqor sellers will feel they can afford to pay more than $500 for the three months privilege.

BILL"
She laid aside the letter. with a
lump In her throat. For IA brief instant
she was minded to telegraph the word
that would bring him hurrylng back.
But-some of the truths he had set
down In cold black and white cut her
deep. OF n surety she had drawn her
weapon on the wrong side in the min
ing trouble. Overhasty ?-yes. And
shamefully disloyal. Perhaps there was
something in it. after all; that is to
say, 1t might be they had made mis-
take. She saw plainly enough that
unless she could get back some of the
old enthusiasm for that wilderness life.
unless the fascination of magnificent
distances. of silent. breathless forests.
of contented. qhlet days on trail and
stream, could lay fast hold OF her
again. they would only defer the day
of reckoning. as Bill had said.
No, she would not attempt TO call
him back. She doubted II he would
come. And she would not go-not yet.
She must have time to think.
Altogether. as the first impression of
Bits letter grew less vivid TO her she
considered her grievances more. And
she was minded to act as she had set
out to do-to live her life as seemed
best to her, rather than pocket her
pride and rejoin BIZ. The feminine
Instinct to compel the man to capitu-
late asserted itself more and more
strongly.
The Lamar register., 1918-05-22


During that thlrty-day period she re-
ceived a brief note from Bill. Just u
few lines to say:
"Hit the ranch yesterday, little per-
son. Looks good to me. Went fishing

about day after tomorrow"
She had not answered his first let
ter. She had tried to. But somehow
when she tried to set pen to paper the
right words would not come. She
lacked his facility of expression.
There was so much she wanted to say.
so little she seemed able to say. As
the days passed she felt less sure of
her ground, less sure that she had not
sacrificed something precious TO
vagary of self, an obsession Of her own
ego.
And slowly but surely she began to
view all the activities Of her circle
with a critical eye. Certain of her
friends had become tentative enemies.
