Hurley Tells
Aims OfGreQt
Yankee Fleet

Philadelphia, Pa, July 26.-Lat-
in-American diplomats, the guests
of the shipping board at an inspec-
ton of the Hog Island shipyards,
were told today by Chairman Hur-
ley that the great merchant marine
now being built by the United
States must bring prosperity to
Americas neOghbors as well as to
this country, or the pride OF the
United States in the achievement
will be diminished.
"You may send back to your own
peoples that these ships will not
be used exclusively for this ma
tion's aggrandiZeInent in peace,
he declared, any more than they
are used for such aggrandizement
in the war that is now waging.
Our duty now is to build a bridge
of ships to our fighting front in
France. Our expectation is that a
large part of this bridge will be
used to connect us more closely
with our neighbors when the war
is over-a bridge that will be used
as freely and with quite as much
advantage by our neighbors as by
ourselves.
''It has been laid down as a rule
of our conduct at home during the
war that nos excessive profit shall
be made out of the struggle of hu-
manity. That rule will not be
lifted when peace comes.
VIII Build Three Boats Week.
Mr.. Hurley spoke at lunch
con in the dining room OF the In
ternationaI shipbuilding corpora
tion with the staccatO rattle OF
pneumatic hammers family audible
from the worlds greatest shipyard
outside. After luncheon the guests
were taken over the yard and its
80 ways, from which the first ship
will be launched August 5, and
from which MIR. Hurley told the
visitors it is expected to launch
three ships a week.
The worlds greatest shipyard,
established here" said Mr.. Hurley,
was part of our answer to the
challenge of the German govern
ment which set out to sink our
ships and our cargoes and Ameri-
can citizens travelling the ocean
highways 1t was intended to serve
civilization in the great war emerg-
ency, but it will serve civilization
as well in the enduring peace that
will be born out of the victory o.
the allies and America.
Ships OF War and Peace.
THE ships that are being built
by the United States as instru-
ments of war are designed TO serve
equally well as the instruments Of
an enduring peace. The great
fleet that this country is building
will be operated after the war up
on principles which recognize hu-
man and national right and equi-
ties. That fleet Will serve Latin
America as it serves the people Of
the United States. 1t will serve
the world as America is now serv-
ing the world in fighting for the
cause of liberty.
when the war is won, as it
must be if this hemisphere is to
be freed from the constant menace
of militarism, the ships that have
served their military purposes, viii
play a large part in bringing the
neighboring nations ofsthis contin-
ent closer together, reducing the
delays in making personal and
commercial contact, and cementing
the bonds of comradeship.
Fleet OF Liberty.
''The great merchant fleet has
been dedicated by America TO the
cause of liberty-your liberty as
well as ours-and SO long as the
American flag floats at the mast
head OF a single ship that cause
shall never be forsaken."

COUNTY ASSESSORS
AUDITORS BELIEVE A MORE
EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT
WOULD RESULT.

Pierre, March 26.-The county
auditors while in session before the
tax commission here the last week,
passed a resolution favoring the en-
actment of a law providing for coun-
ty assessors, instead of the present
system of township assessors. 1t is
thought that to have a county asses
sor for each county will prove a fair
er and more impartial way Of max
ing assessment, and 1t is contended
now that In many instances the town
ship assessor, having but a small por-
ton to assess, well acquainted with
all his neighbors, is open to a good
deal of laxity in making his assess
ment-which a county assessor,
making the whole county assessment
and consequently of a much more
general scope, would be free from,
There are now some counties which
have county assessors-where some
~unorganized territory is located-but

system is township assessor. The

Bible knowledge
CHILDREN WERE In EVIDENCE
AT LAST EVENINGS UN-
ION SERVICES.

During all their lives the children
who were in the exercises last even
ing at the high school auditorium
will feel more and more the benefit
of what they have learned of Bible
knowledge. Between rs and 100
children stood on the platform and
sang their songs and gave answers to
the Bible teaching that has been
given for more than a week past by
Prof. Mcbride. The children have
been meeting for a half hour after
school and last evening saw the re-
suit of these meetings. Prof. Nc
Bride has reason to feel proud of his
achievement and the parents of the
children have reason to be grateful
for the teaching which these little
folk have received.
There was the usual splendid pro-
gram of music preceding the chill
dren's exercises. Rev. Smith spoke
from the text, Timothy AS: For
bodily exercise is profitable for a lit
tie, but goodness is profitable for all
things, having promise of the life
that now is and of that which is to
come" The speaker put emphasis
on the fact that in these days of ter
rible things men need to have more
goodness which literally means God
likeness. The acquiring of other le-
gitimate things in life is good. but
one thing only will outliye the life
and that is God-likeness. He made
a strong appeal for men to give their
lives to the service of God, and at the
close there was a good response.
Tonight Evangelist Smith will re-
late the thrilling story of the rescue
of Win" Mcclure, the railroad en-
gineer. While all are invited, a spe-
cial invitation Is extended to men.
more especially railroad men. The
male glee club of the German Bap-
tist church will render a selection
and Smith and Mcbride will sing a
railroad duet. At 7:15 p. m, the
Rev. Mr.. Argow will conduct a pray
er meeting under the balcony.
One of the most interesting of all
the afternoon services will be the one
of tomorrow at 3 p. m, at the Pres
byterian church, when Mr.. Smith
will give a Bible talk on why God
Chastens,' and when people SIS years
of age and older will De invited
guests" Appropriate music will be
sung and everybody. young and old,
will have a good time.
At the meeting tomorrow night
Mrs. John Hopper and Evangelist
Smith will sing Porter tenor and So

the musical event of the campaign.

of honey sold for $3.50, while again

on various articles, some of real

crowd was the largest see here since
the last presidential campaign.
