 SHIP OF CONCRETE HAS BEEN LAUNCHED
Dundee Advertiserl


 It is said that when the first iron vessel was constructed on the Clyde thousands of people attended the launching, fully convinced that the iron ship would sink like stone. The idea that iron would float could not be got to penetrate their wooden" imaginations. But iron triumphed so much as shipping material that even the classic oak. behind the floating walls of which Briton won her naval and maritime superiority, is no longer used.
 Prejudice and conservatism, which are by no means unimportant factors in seafaring life, suecumbed before utility and practicability. And now ex- perts and shipbui1ders are carefully considering-indeed, in some cases put ting into practice-ideas for the build ! ing of ships in ferro- concrete, and = Dundee in all likelihood will be an im-

The possibilities in the constructing of ships in ferro- concrete have long been under the consideration of experts, al- though no practical attempt was made to put any scheme into execution until comparatively recently.

 A few days ago the first ship built of ferro- concrete was launched at the Porsgrund Cement works. The ship, according to the accounts received in this country, was built bottom upward

REVIVAL SERVICES
 BEGUN AT CHURCH

Revival servires begun at the Cen traI Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday evening are already attracting good sized congregations each eve ming. The services are being con- ducted by Rev. J. A. Wailes, pastor of the church, and his sermons are force full and convincing. A large chorus choir under the direction of A. A. Francis renders pleasing music at each meeting.
 The services will probably be con- tinued for two weeks and the pastor and the members of the congregation anticipate excellent results. The ser vices begin each evening at 7:30 o'clock sharp A cordial invitation is extended to the public.

son Coming Home i'm February.

PARIS, December cS.--The American
peace commission has tentatively de-
cided upon n division of work among
the members during the coming inter-
allied sessions OF the peace conference
proper.
The allocation of official duties is rs
follows:
Secretary of state Lansing will be
the recipient of all questions on sub
jects pertaining to international law
in addition to his regular business as
nc OF the five peace commissioners
Colonel T.. ii. House for the period
ot The Presidents stay in Europe will

tween The nresiden, and ,hs states,

ably the first week OF February, the
colonel will, OF course, continue to
in the meetings OF the American COM
mission and the meetings OF the COM
mission with other groups at the peace
Henry White Will have the role OF
field man" for lie commission because
OF his long career as diplomat and
his intimate knowledge Of European
affairs.
General Bliss will see to matters o.
n III! !liiary aspect AS we'll as whatever
subjects the commission may assign
10 him.
1t is the belief of the commission
that much duplication will be saved
and greater results obtained through Il

gram outlined above is one reached hy
the American pienipotentiarieS during
the first week on the ground here.
In preparation for the work ahead
the commission has begun 10 call upon
a corps OF experts who accompanied
the mission to Europe and who are
housed in the Hotel Crillon with work
ing quarters in adjoining buildings.
The variety of subjects ON which the
Americans Will receive expert advice
is amazing.
The league OF nations and the free
dom OF the seas will be the two out
standing subjects at the coming peace
conference.
Apart from these two problems the
American delegates arc storing up
knowledge regarding the German col
onies. the Dardanclles. Japanese occu-
patton Of the German possessions in the
Far East the Albanian question. the
Russian situation and dozens OF other
subjects which will play part in the
discussions
