More than one-third of the war
vessels and merchant ships called for
by the program of the United States
government are building in ship yards
along the Delaware river, according
TO figures which have just been made
public with the permission of the En-
Urgency Fleet Corporation. The ton
mage contracted for, according to gov
eminent officials, has transformed the
Delaware valley into the greatest
shipbuilding center in the world.

Socialism has been weighed in the
scales Of war and found wanting. 1t
was supposed before the war that
socialists all over the world would
discourage war by refusing to fight,
and if they had consistently done So
they would have shown a greater
physical and moral bravery than SOL
diers in the ranks, as many would
have been killed and many more i'm
prisoned. But when the test came,
the German socialists, supposed to
lead the world, weakened. They
went into the ranks and added to the
weight of autocracy against not only
democrac Y but socialism in other
countries. In America, they take
advantage of the mildness of our laws
to hamper our government in its bat
tie for democracy. In Russia they lay
down and let imperialism walk over
them. About the only place in the
world where socialism has been of
any real use to the common people is
in Sweden, where they have probably
prevented their country from joining
Germany in the war. Socialists, as a
rule, lack the tough moral fiber that
enables men and women to suffer and
die for a cause. There are some ex-
ceptions, but very few in comparison
with the adherents of other causes. II
they had one-tenth the courage that
animated the dervishes at Omdurman
they could clamp the world down tc
peace. The truth of it is that in order
to carry on any great reform, yor
must have men who will fight. Mega
tive courage is all right in some
places, but, whether the cause bt
good or bad, positive courage vii
overcome it nine times out of ten.

How five seagulls were the means
of saving steamer from destruc-
ton was related by the pilot of the
steamer on arrival at an English
port He noticed five gulls perched on
a dark object which was bobbing up
just ahead of the vessel. Closer ex-
animation revealed that seagull
was sitting on each of the five prongs
of a floating mine and there was
just time to alter the vessels course
and prevent disaster.

The finest old palaces in Italy are
gradually being turned into habita-
tons again after centuries of disuse,
due to the need for soldier hospitals
and for shelter for the hundreds of
thousands of refugees from the in
vaded provinces. Part of the immense
palace at Caserta, built in 1852 for
the king of Naples, commonly known
as the Versailles of Italy has been
turned into barrack for Austrian
prisoners. Two years ago King Vic
tor Emanuel and Queen Elena gave
the huge royal palace on the Quirinal
hill in Rome for use as hospital, and
lately they even gave their own pri-
vate apartments to refugee children

Col. Roosevelt's disappointment at
not being allowed to go to France
with an army division was, it may be
stated on the authority of an Ameri-

the emperor is declared to have stat

could conjure in his imagination was
