dent Wilson has imposed on Mr.. Hur-
ley. The President, it seems, holds
that the uncuualcd American ship
building capacity is one of the aces
in the peace negotiations and IN the
effort to attain league of nations.
Wilson'S Peace Table "Acc"
rhc idea is said to be that our ship
building facilities are Indispensable to
the restoration and reconstruction OF
international trade and that the open
ing of them to the world is to be one
of the attendant blessings of the reign
of universal peace the league of nations
is calculated to bring. If the old, fierce
international competition is to con
tinue then American shipyards will be
held in reserve for American mcrcan-
tile and naval shipping
However sound this idea may be, the
fact is that with each passing month
American yards are not only losing
present business. but the foundations
of future business. BY failing to build
for other countries now We may have
nothing to build little later We have
restored shipbuilding in this country,
it is argued, but we are throwing away
grand opportunity to maintain 1T.

It. was Christmas yesterday on "San

girls who GO to the Union Baptist Sun
day School at 204 West SiXty-third
Street gave party in the church to
the entire neighborhood.
1t was meant to be a children's
party, because Santa Claus had sent
word that he would come in person
But there was another reason why
most of the audience barely could see
over the top of the pews. Over in
France there are forty-tive members
of the church who are soldiers with the
"Old Fifteenth" and almost hundred
others who used to take part in the

the Rhineland half century ago to
escape military service under Kaiser

about democracy after the band had

see the first peace-time Christmas in

:. Restrictions Will Turn

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Tnc great
est shipbuilding capacity in the world
Is not permitted to accept foreign CON
tracts precisely at the .imc when the
worlds demand for shipping is greater
than it ever was.
Since 1915 the number of ways in
American shipyards capable of hand
ling large vessels has increased from
about 35 to more than 100. The ship
building capacity Of America is now
easily S,000,0o0 to 100000 dead
weight tons year. The actual
achievement in The year now drawing
to close Will be more than 100000
tons, and some of the largest yards
have only just begun to set into their
stride
So lcrr as the actual war lasted,
the government required the entire
output of American yards, but now that
hostlllties are over, France, Norway
and many other countries arc clamor
ing for an opportunity to place orders
with American yards
Foreign Orders Forbidden
The ban on wooden ships has been
raised, but it is still forbidden to an
American yard to take orders from
foreign source for steel ships. Many
yards already are in sight of the con-
Of hal,
States Shipping Board and are being
urged to start at once to build ships for
foreign account, but by decree of the
Shipping Board they are forbidden to
pursue the very course that will de-
termine whether America is to have
great shlpbuilding future OF not.
Foreigners are willing to pay almost
any price DOW, ana at this time when
the demand is so great there is a mag
nificent opportunity for American
yards to become intrenched in the
world patronage.
dispatch from Paris says that the
French government has made an cs-
peclal appeal for the utilization Of
American yards in reestablishing the
French marine, which greatly deprc-
ciatcd during the war owing to losses
and the fact that France had to turn
all her shipyards into munition plants.
France Wants Many Ships
France is represented as desiring to
build 100000 tons of Shipping in the
next three years, which would make her
the third maritime power in the world
The natural place for all of this new
shipping that France cannot build her
self is the United States, which has
a great surplus capacity But owing
to the Shipping Boards position
France can place no orders here and
has already placed 100000 tons in
England. If she could she Immediate
" would order 100000 tons from
American yards. Shipping men fear
that If the wartime restrictions are
continued much longer all of this
French business Will go to England.
Chairman Hurley is}quoted as being
disposed to continue the prohibition
until the peace treaty is signed. 1t
IS learned here from authoritative
sources that this is the policy Prcsi-

The story of Christ was told by Miss
Birdye Haynes, of the Lincoln House
Settlement She had hardly finished
when Santa Claus was discovered by a
few wary eyed boys who had heard
sleigh bells in the gallery.
All this while the Christmas pack
ages had been tantalizing the audience
from the platform. There were Christ
mas dinners in bags. Chickens dan
sprouts of celery and other good
things. Fifty of these dinners had
been prepared by the pastor and la
belled for distribution to the needles
families. eBsides there were 1870 suits
OF clothes. sixteen pairs of shoes,
scores of boxes of candy, horns of
plenty and Christmas stockings for the
children.
Bags for Wounded Soldiers
A red bag stood on the platform
tied with a bow of ribbon. Miss Haynes
explained that it was one of more than
twenty-five which had been purchased
for wounded soldiers with the chill
dren's pennies. In it, she said, were
apples and oranges and candy and
cigarettes and cigars and a pencil. The
bags will be sent to various hospitals
to-day.
Among the several hundred present
were Boy Scouts, who have been formed
into a company by General" Randolph
Haggson, who three weeks ago was
discharged as sergeant from Camp
Dig. The "general' and his staff were
in charge of the gift distribution.
Miss Rosalie Jones, 53 East Fifty

planned the party and raised the money
for it.
