Ship Designer Drew $4,000 Salary and
Foes On Outside Besides.

Washington. Jan. 30.--The fact that
Theodore Z. Ferris, Of New York, ma
val designer of the Emergency fleet
Corporation of the United States ship
ping board. had resigned. by request
was confirmed by Chairman Edward
n. Hurley. Mr. Ferris, it was said
had submitted statement to the snip
ping board and to Senator George f..
Chamberlain, chairman OF the senate
which has been investigating his ac-
tivities in connection with the general
shipping inquiry. These statements
were not made public.
The general statement was made at
the shipping board offices that MI.
Ferris had left two days ago because
some of his methods in connection
with the letting of contracts were not
the methods which his superiors APP
proved. There the matter was ieft. IL
was stated that Mr.. Ferris had done
important work in getting the shipping
program under way. His successor
has not been named.
The first public intimation that Mr..
Ferris was at odds with some OF the
other officials of the shipping board
was received Yesterday thru the teSt-
mony of Philip d. Sloan, witness be-
fore the Interstate commerce commit
ter Of the senate.
Mr.. Ferris received salary of $50
600 a year from the governments Mr..
Sloan, a member Of one of the firms
!nvolvod in shipping contracts. .tosti-
lied that Mr.. Ferris had also arranged
for the payment Of about $4,000 to
himself as commission on contracts
received by the Sloan Company. The
payment represented commission OF
about ! per cent, and was TO be paid
to MIR. Ferris for work he had done as
private designer and not as govern
ment official. according to the story
told.
1t came out also that the Sloan con-
tracts were Obtained thru the Clinch-
field Navigation Company OF Dane,
Va. which was scheduled to receive
fairly generous commission.

British Expect an Onslaught.

Lord CurZon, member Of the war
council and government leader in the
house OF lords. speaking at Cardiff
said the British forces on the western
front were preparing for the greatest
attack yet delivered by the enemy. It
Is unbelievable, he said, that Germany
will not employ the large forces re-
leased by tho Russian collapse. and
added that Our forces may be called
upon to endure the greatest strain they
have yet borne"
Lord Curzon warmly defended the
staff generals against the press at
tacks made on them. Regarding peace
he said: There is no peace obtaina-
BILE from the enemy at this moment
which is consistent with our honor and
safety"

exist until American forces arrived in
large number. unless the United States
increased its exports Of wheat to 49,
100000 bushels.
The message. which discusses the
situation on the same lines as Lord
Rhondda's interview in London on
Wednesday, was made public by Mr..
Hoover with a warning to the Amcri-
can people that they must reduce wheat
consumption 80 per cent. beef and sugar
consumption 10 per cent, and pork
consumption ~ per cent, If suffering

tKishnev. the capital Of Bessarabia,
is about fifty miles east OF the border
of the kingdom of Roumania. It's
population. however is largely Of Rou-
manian stock, all Bessarabia, indeed,
having long been regarded as part OF
Roumania Irredenta. Roumania's am
bition to recover Bessarabia, now that
her hopes Of expansion westward have
been dimmed. undoubtedly is one Of
the causes Of the present difficulties
between the Roumanian government
and the bolsheviki. who recently threat
ened the arrest OF the Roumanian king
and actually seized the Roumanian
minister in Petrograd. Dispatches last
week reported that the Roumanian
queen, who had been at Kishinev, was
forced to flee to Jassy the present
Roumanian capital after the bolshe-
Wiki had seized her jewels.
Kishinev probably is best known to
the world at large from the Jewish
massacrcs there in 1903 and 1905. The
city's population is about 125,000.1

MUCH NEEDED LAW.

Along about this time OF year tax
payers begin to wish that North Da-
kota had a law providing for the
semi annual payment of taxes.
There are many arguments for
such a law and none against it.
1t is unjust that a business man or
any taxpayer should be called upon
to pay his taxes in lump sum and
then be forced to borrow money to
tide him over for a few months,
while his own money is lying unused
by the state or county. Taxes are
not all spent at once. Why should
they be all paid at once?
Minnesota handles her tax coIlec-
ttons in a better way than North Da-
kOta does. There they are payable
either semi-annually or annually.
Half may be paid in May and half
in October, without penalty. North
Dakota should have such law.

Modesty and efficiency are two of
the prevailing characteristics of the
Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army has the poor
mans ability of making a little
money go a long ways. It has never
been a wealthy organization, and it
has learned the habit of thrift in a
hard school.
The army's war work has been in
dorsed by the federal and the state
governments. In these days when
millions are so lightly discussed, the
campaign Of the Salvation Army for
$4,000, 900 seems modest. The money
probably will 90 as far as any that is
