ECHOES CALL FOR MORE SHIPS.
National Foreign Trade Council
Urges Full Programme.

Resolutions adopted by the National
Foreign Trade Council urging the Gov
ernment to continue the building pro-
gramme OF the Shipping Board and
favoring the removal OF war restric-
tons on imports and exports were
made public yesterday.
1t is asserted in the resolutions that
the end OF tho war finds the world
with 100000 gross tons less OF
oceangoing shipping than was the case
four years ago. ard that the "restock-
ing OF the neutral markets OF the
world calls for the services OF more
tonnage than is now in existence plus
what can be produced for some time
to come"

The arrival OF the transport Sierra
and the big kroonland with a large
number OF troops. including many
wounded men, is still a matter for con-
lecture. Both ships are due to-day
hut nobody can guess from land Just
where either boat is and the shippers
have not taken anybody into their
confidence. The army officers al Ho-
boken reckoned on the arrival OF the
two transports to-day or Tomorrow.
One week from to-day the Leviathan.
formerly the Naterland, Is expected
with 10000 men. the biggest contin-
gent that will have been returned
home up to that date; but thereafter
troops will be rushed rapidly to this
side Of the water. according to the

COMFORT IN TO-DAY
IF STORM PERMITS
Stanch Hospital Ship With
401 Wounded Held Up by
Battle With Gales.
154 INVALIDS ARRIVE
Sierra and Kroonland, Carry
ing Thousands, May Be
Here in 81 Hours.
154 INvALIDS ARRIVE

| Now two days overdue, the United
States hospital ship Comfort, which
has aboard 401 soldiers that were
wounded or became Ill in France, is
| expected to. reach her pier at Ho-
boken to-day. surely. Although no
reply has been received for three days
| TO messages sent by the navy and
army authorities. there is no appre-
hension felt as regards the ships
safety. II is surmised that either
the Comforts wireless apparatus has
been damaged or made useless by
storms or that her commander has his
own reasons for keeping silent as he
approaches port.
The fact that the ship Is two days
overdue has not caused worry be-
cause all ships have been away behind
time in getting TO New York. Out Of
forty-seven vessels scheduled to ar
| rive here yesterday only half a dozen
mad come in up to late hour, and
these were behind time. Shippers
said yesterday that in all Of their ex-
periences at sea, and some of them
were rimed with salt, they had never
seen fouler weather than the Atlantic
has been cursed with for days. The
Comfort suffers particularly because
she is small. though trig and trim.
Brig. Gen. George II. .McManus, COM
handing the Port OF Embarkation at
Hoboken. spoke reassuringly yesterday
for the benefit of such as may have
relatives or friends aboard the ship.
Gale Causes Delay.
Although we have had no word
from the ship despite repeated re-
quests for information we are not in
the least alarmed" said the General.
The delay is due simply to the storms
mat have been sweeping the Atlantic
in a general easterly direction for ten
days or two weeks. almost record
breaking storms. Ships bound east
ward do not suffer much. as the seas
and wind combine TO kick them along
and they can make their top speed
without trouble; but ships coming
west have a hard fight to make against
terrific seas and a savage blow COM
bining TO retard speed. The Comfort
being a small vessel. has had to make
this fight under peculiarly difficult
conditions. We are confident, how
ever. that she will dock tomorrow safe
and sound"
The only ship carrying troops to
arrive yesterday was the steamship
Nansemond. with 1874 wounded or sick
men from France. Very many OF these
were what is described as mental"
cases, due to shell shock in most In
stances, As would be inferred, espe-
cial care was taken OF these men and
they were particularly guarded and
protected.

Washington Would Approve

Referring to Washington's advice
against engaging in entangl!ng al
liances he stated:
The United States at the time
Washington was President was vastly
different from the nation OF to-day
While l was not in the confidence OF
George Washington. l feel sure that
Washingtons extreme common sense
and his appreciation of the difference
of principle as applied TO different
conditions would make him understand
the difference to-day" A nucleus con-
sisting OF Italy. France. Great Britain
and the United States he said, would
initiate the league.
They are in n position where they
can't get away from league Of some
kind. They may not call IL n league,
but they cannot escape their RESPONSE
bi,itiCs, and x is not long step from
whatever machinery they may effect
to enforce the treaty to a league of ma
tons" he continued.
A league of nations will not be per-
feet in its operations at first. War
may not be abolished. but the league
can be most effective to prevent its
SpTedu 10 IL EeHeTdl COHIdETdtlOn ike
that the world has Just seen"
Asked by person in the audience
II n nation might resign from the
league. Prof. Taft answered: We'll,
you know what happened in the civil
war"
Somebody asked him why one nation
should want control of the seas, and
Mr.. Taft answered:
"A nation cannot be blamed for not
giving up what Is essential to It's life
until IT is sure OF protection. Eng
land depends upon the protection of its
fleet for food and for its very life. She
can't give up what protects her until
she knows by test and trial that she
has other protection"

Still the cards of thanks pour in
from soldiers abroad to THE SUN To-

Josephine d. Bacon from Sergeant

Sixth Supply Train, who says: Re
ceived through THE SUN Tobacco Fund
six cartons OF cigarettes which were
issued to the boys of this company.
They were told that it was donation
and who 1t was from. All the boys are
deeply grateful, the moro so because
they could not help feeling that now
the war is over there might be a cessa-
ton OF such welcome gifts. We hope
not, for now more than ever your
Americans need cigarettes"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
VITAL, SAYS TAFT
Says 1t May Not Abolish War,
but 1t Can at Least
Limit 1t.
TELLS NEEDED ADJUNCTS
Thinks L. s. Must Lead in
Bringing About Russia's
Rehabilitation.
TELLS NEEDED ADJUNCTS

The United States must take an i'm
portant part in settling the problem
OF the Germanic colonies disposal,
said former President Taft yesterday
in an address before the League for
Political Education in Carnegie Hall.
America should assume a like role in
| the rehabilitation Of Russia, Professor
Taft said, in order that other nations
who will have a seat in the peace con-
| ferences may not be charged with self
| ishness.
Germany has mistreated her COL
onies," he declared, land she has ex-
| plotted them. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible for the peace commissioners to
turn back the colonies to Germany
and II they were turned over to any
other nation such a country would be
exposed to the charge that they were
exploiting the colonies. 1t would be
only by an agency Of a league Of ma
tons that the colonies could be prop
, erly disposed Of"
Joint Action In Russia vital.
Speaking of Russia, he said
1.-THE situation can only be met by
joint action Of the other nations. and
in this the dictation OF the United
States is Of the highest Importance. as
1t will keep other nations from being
charged with selfish interest"
He insisted that only through a
league of Powers which would restrain
international friction, could the exper-
iment of self-government, about to be
frta tn, hp
successful.
These young nations will need the
help and guardianship of a stronger
power" he said, "a kindly father who
will spank them when they depart
from the rules laid down for them. We
must have a league to create peace
among them"
A court, n commission OF concilia-
ton, a police force and a congress for
the settlement OF international dis
putes are necessary. Mr.. Taft said. in
order that the aim OF a league to en-
force peace may be carried into effect.
We are going TO have peace treaty
which is going TO be longer than moral
law" he said. 1T Is going to cover so
many subjects. It Is bewildering 10
think OF all the details. 1t will be
necessary to create a court to construe
that treaty. Unless you have n police
force TO back the court and concilia-
tory body you may as we'll not make a
treaty.
This peace congress is actuated by
purer motives and higher purposes
than any congress that has ever met
before, and it is sure TO be one OF the
most truthful sources of the definition
of international law"

INDIAN JOE HERE.
He Will Give Entertainments at Penn
broke:--Working in Interest Of
Indians.


Indian Joe Davis, a Pawnee from
Pawnee county, Okla. who has con-
siderable reputation as an entertainer,
tomorrow night and Saturday night.
When asked how he could dc that in
the face of the order of the county
board of health prohibiting public
meetings, he said his entertainments
would be given in the open air.
Indian Joe has just returned from
Washington, D. c., where he went to
register for military service. His
presence in Washington at one of the
leading hotels, and the fact that he
went all the way there from Whining
ton, N. c., to register, was duly noted
in Washington papers. A news item
clipped from a Washington paper
gives a cut of Indian Joe and states
that he said the Indians are ready to
do their part in the war and that he
would volunteer but is told that he
must wait to be drafted.
Indian Joe is an interesting char
acter. He has been everywhere and
has a book full of letters of nigh rec
onamendation from department chiefs
in Washington, from school superin-
tendents, commanders Of base Iospit-
ais and forts where he has given his
entertainments fact from people
prominent in all walks Of life. He
was at Asheville last summer during
the meeting of the North Caroline
Press association, stopping at the ho-
| tel where the convention was held. His
work is educational as well as enter
tanning and he says he is working IL
| the interest Of the Indians.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth sc
no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothene1
and beautifier.
Just try it Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and me- hc
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty Of any skin. It
is simply marvellous to smoother
