SHIPYARD MANAGER
EXAMPLE OF INDUSTRY
Samuel Smith. of Harlan &
Hollingsworth PIan,, Be-
gan at Bottom

Just about the time that the Smith
boy, Sam was thorou~alv aCclmated
to long pants and t"d successfully
struggled with the three "P's" in the
Wilmington school No. I. his father
suggested that it might be q good idea
for his offspring to start hewlng out his
own canoe
So after long talk ono evening in
the Smith household. just at the outset
Of the summer school holidays, il was
decided that Samuel should go into the
chipping department of tho Harlan &
Hollingsworth yards. II would h" n
good thins for the boy. was the verdict
of the whole family. and so one bright
spring morning in May. 1875. there
stroiled through the big iron eating of
the H & H. plant a somewhat nervous
but determined youth to assume the
duties of shipping clerk. 1t wasn't
long before Sam Smith, Il more boy OF
sixteen, demonstrated that he was worth
more responsible; also more pay.
So the elder Mr.. Smith, then treas
\ Of the H. & II. Company, saw to it that
Samuel was transferred to the account
ing department. Two years rolled by
and Sam Smith then climbed up on a
bookkeeper's high chair. Tie argued with
y balances and trial balance for some
time. and in 1884 was elected assistant
4 treasurer. Young Smth finally had
4 -treasurer" sold-leafcd on his door.
It wasn't until the reorganization o.
the H. & II. Corporation IN 1905 that $.
X. Smith added a secretaryship to it and
hid himself behind glass doors and ma
hogany desk, Vice president was next
in line. and now it is assistant general
manager.
During the Nourse of his association
with the II. g. II. yards Mr. Smith has
lived through two or three periods of
depression. He recalls one in 1901, when
the Government let big contracts for
aubmarine destroyers and toTpedoboatH.
Contracts were accepted by many ship
building concerns at terms that We're
not in keeping with material costs and
wages, and as consequence many yards
went under. The H. & H. Company
weathered all these financial storms O.
X In these crises Mr.. Smith increased
his reputation as a financicr and won a
place on several bank drectoratcs.
Mr.. Smith is a firm believer that AL
work and no play makes Jack a back
number" and is very fond of golfing,
fishing and has travelled extensively
abroad. He still delights in telling an
ege-worn story about ninety-pound
catch in the Susquchanna River.

"a man cant swing forty-five-

This is an old saying with the men in

shape the plates as they are marked
by the shipiiitcrS. and their work is
hard and very hot any time.
About the only time these men get
to rest or eat is when there is a heat
or plates are in the fire. Then they do
both. Here is where health depart

AT the Coblenz end of the three
bridges across the Rhine American

other buildings evacuated that morn

i sl'be friendly spirit with which the

lagos along the railroad over which
the Americans came to Coblenz. AT
many places crowds of children cheer

came more friendly as the Americans
approached Coblenz.

city they were met by large crowd,

the others waiting to see the Ameri'
cans were two professors with all the

Lieutenant Heinrich Prince, one OF
the Commissioners detailed by the Ger
mans to deal with the Americans, was
the officer who transmitted to Major
Whittlesey the German demand to sur,
render when Whittlesey was command
ing the famous ''lost battalion" in the
Argonne Forest.
In talking with officers of the Sew
enty-seventh Division, Lieutenant
Prince said his comrades and superior
officers held the highest admiration for
the Americans in that fight. The only
motive for demanding the surrender
of the "lost battalion" was to save the
Americans from what the Germans
then believed would be certain ami.
