AT COMMUNITY SING

The Community Sing will be held to-
nieht al s o'clock at the Wilmington
High School. As a rule. the sing lasts
until a quarter or half-past ten o'clock
Last week Harry Barnhart requested
that those who come TO the chorus
should be prepared TO stay the entire
evening. He said the custom Of drop
ming IN for a while TO see how the
sing was getting along had reached
proportions where Il was a great dis
turbance TO the chorus. on the other
hand, everybody Is cordially welcome
and there is room up In the gallery
for a number more Of people.
: High school boys hold collection
dishes as the chorus pass out, into
which voluntary contributions may be
dropped by the members TO pay the eX-
penses Of the chorus, but there is no
ohlgatory fee nor any admission
charge.
The chorus now numbers more than
nine hundred members. An evening
of solid enjoyment is provided for all
. who attend The good time every
body IS having at the chorus may be
seen from the frequent applause and
laughter which punctuate the evening.
The music IS most inspiring ana stir
ring. Mr.. Barnhart himself, said he
had never heard the star spsnged Ban
nar sung better than last Tuesday
night by the Wilmington chorus. The
famous leader will he here only a few
nights more, and those who have been
undef his magnetic direction will
testify that IL Is an experience they
would not have missed for anything. /.
Mr.. Barnhart has been invited by many
cities, and Wilmington owes his COM
ing here to the fact that she is a great
center Of war industry Mr.. Barnhart
Is especially Interested in establishing
choruses in such centers

SHIP PROGRAM
NOT AFFECTED
BY ARMISTICE
C. Nj. SCHWAB ANNOUNCES THAT
BUILDING WILL CONTINUE, WITH
SHIPS OF INCREASED TONNAGE
CAPACITY HAVING PREFERENCE

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-Signing of
the armiStice will not affect the gov
ernment's shipbuilding program, ac-
cording to Charles NJ. Schwab, direc-
tor general Of the emergency fleet
corporation.
"The continuation of the program
said Mr. Schwab, will be the big
gest factor in tiding over the period
between war production and peace
conditions. The situation will soon
adjust itself, however, and the whole
labor problem will straighten out au-
tomatically as the readjustment goes
on"
"Our tonnage output SO far has
consisted too largely of small vessels,
because we had to take anything we
could to meet the necessity. But rs
per cent of the tonnage has been in
vessels over 1000 tons. Now we shall
turn to the larger cargo carriers OF
10000 to $4,000 tons, they being the
most economical, cost compared with
the capacity. The ruling principle
of our shipbui1ding from now on will
be economy. Following the big car
riers will come the large passenger
ships, which must sooner or later be
constructed, if we are to compete
with the shipping of other nations"

going instructions upon what seems,
in view of the mighty events of the
day. to be the final work of this char
acter to be done by the selective serv-
ice system. l extend to the members OF
that system my personal congratula-
tions upon their truly great achieve
ments of the past year and a half,
achievements that have taxed to the ut
most, the time, the ability and the
endurance of all those engaged in the
work, and that have furnished to the
army to which in large measure must
be given the credit for saving the
world both civilization and government
by the people.
To you, members of that system.
must come a sense of duty well
done which only a loyalty, patriotism
and devotio'> such as yIlrs can bring.
The country and the world knows that
it owes you a debt of thanks and gra-
titude which cannot be measured by
but only by the affection, the
respect and the esteem, now yours. 1f
those among whom you live and from
you have taken that which was be-
yond price.

your work under the orders above Civ
EN-, I bespeak of you the same interest
and tireless energy which has charac-
terized your work in the past. Signed,

in the hour of victory for the allies,
this city will join with the entire ma
tion in great jubilee, in which

E. A. Boyer, Army and Navy song
leader, stated yesterday afternoon that
it was the intention of those who
were launching this celebration to ask
the cooperation of every organiZa-
tion in Pensacola to join in this great
Thanksgiving celebration. The plan
which has been suggested, and which
seems to have met with general ap-
proval, is to have a committee made
up of one representative from every
club and society in the city to take
charge of this great Victory Sing, ap-
pointing a central chairman from the
War Camp Community Service, mas
much that organization has already
had experience which particularly fits
it to take charge Of the program
which is to be very elaborate
The celebration will take place in
Pensacola at four o'clock, eastern
time, which is three o'clock in Pensa-
cola.
At that time it is expected that
every community centre in the United
States will hold a great Victory Sing.

Threatened Starvation Adds to
Distress of War
Torn Nation.
BY Associated Press.

Guns everywhere are mute.
Hostilities have given way to pre-
parations Of the defeated enemy to
evacuate all invaded territory in ac-
cordance with the terms of armis-
tice and the entente forces to take
up strategic positions assigned them.
The cry comes from Germany for
early peace.
Starvation faces the war-torn en-
pire.
The allies will not permit the Ger
mans to perish for want Of food,
however.
In Germany the new government
regime apparently has sway. Inter
nal strife is seemingly ended except
for the mutiny by sailors.
Amendments to the armistice terms
show the allies were more exacting
in their demands than was first re-
ported. Instead of 1000 railroad cars,
10000 are to be surrendered.
Defeated on the battlefield, deserted
by their emperor and subjected to
terms tantamount to unconditional
surrender, the German people have
made an appeal to President Wilson.
Conditions described as fearful
and DR.. w. S. Solf, the foreign sec

face starvation if the allies do not
take steps to overcome the danger.
Holland is said to be preparing TO
intern William Hohenzollern and his
son, the former crown prince, as
well as other military officers who
sought refuge with them by crossing
the Dutch frontier. This action may
prevent the former emperor from re-
turning to Germany, should events
take a sudden turn, and following
the example of Napoleon in 1915.
Allied warships have entered the
Dardanelles and British naval forces
have occupied Alexandretta.

The city Of Pensacola is to be repre-
sented pletorially in the great history
of the war. which is being compiled
Dy tne war department. Mayor Frank
Sanders was empowered by the city
commissioners yesterday to name
representative Of the city to furnish
the war department suitable pictorial
scenes of the city's war activities of
every phase.
The request for the information
came from C. w. Weeks, colonel of the
general staff, who is chief of the his
torical branch of the pictorial section
of the war plans division of the gen
eral staff, at the War College, Wash
ington.
The mayor will name someone to
assume these duties in the immediate
future in order that the city may be
represented as its war activities de-
serve. The request received seemingly
contemplates all phases of the work
from Liberty Loan parades to acti-
vties at the naval air station and the
various forts of the army here.

Washington, Nov. t2.-Demobiliza-
ton of the men of the military and

The plan will be submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson within a few days.
The war Industries board has sent
out questionnaries to employers in

Industrially. the change from war
to peace will create as many prob
lens as the change from peace to
war. War contract plants must be
converted to make the commodities OF
peace. Workers engaged in such plants
must be assimilated in peace produc-
ton. Wage standards. changed by the
war, must be re-adjusted. The posi-
ton of women in industry must be
determined The war industries board,
the war labor board and other govern
mental gencies must be continued or
substitutes be created, in the opinion
OF officials for the solution of These
problems.
Restrictions Modified.
AS first step toward national in
dustrial re-adjustment from war to
peace basis, the war industries board
today announced notifications in the
restrictions against none-war con-
struction and manufacturing.
All industries whose output has

their output fifty per cent of the
amount of restriction imposed by the
board. while all restrictions are re-
moved against the building Of farm
