SHIPPERS PLEASED
 OVER PROSPECT OE
 TONNAGE INCREASE
Statement That S00,OOO Tons of Ships Will Be Returned
 to Routes Considered Im->
 pOrtant Readjustment q

f New York, December Is-The state ment made today in Washington that the war department is to turn back to the . trade routes S00,0O0 deadweight capacity tons of ships was viewed in shipping cir cIes here as one of the most important readjustment announcements that has been made siRce the signing of the armi- stice. Representations made. recently to Washington by the chamber of com merce here showed that more than l70,oOo tons of export, freight was nowstied up in New York alone, and that unless early relief was granted. manufacturers and exporters would face heavy ldsses-
 The understanding here is that the ships designated for trade purposes will , not be returned directly to the owners but will be turned back by the war de- partment to the United States shipping board, and by that body allotted to va rious trades principal among which will be South and. Central American com- merce.
 The procedure to be followed will be the reverse of the action taken in Oc- tober 1917, when all American ships over 2500 tons were requisitioned by the ship . ping board and then assigned by that body to the war and navy departments, Belgian relief, Red Cross and allied gov ernments.
 MAY OPERATE VESSELS
 It is possible that the shipping board may operate the released vessels through the various established lines, which would handle the work of loading, sailing and discharging in designated trades as agents of the shipping board, procedure which was folloWed in numerous in- stances when the vessels were first re- quisitioned
 The following statement was issued to- day by Major Keating, secretary and executive chief of the shipping control committee, the branch of the shipping board, which heretofore has had the handling and control of all American vessels
 The situation with regard to tonnage to be released for trading purposes has been put. in the hands of the war de- partment at Washington Decision as to what tonnage can be released rests with that body"
 The necessity of getting the American troops home as quickly--as possible, and the recent decision to use for transports some of the larger vessels engaged in carrying freight exclusively will pre- vent, 1t is understood, the turning to trade purposes of a considerable number of the larger ships for some time to come. Work of fitting up number of these freighters with troop accommoda- tons is now under way here

 Avery Hopwood's perennial farce Flair and Warmer" drew one Of the seasons largest audiences to the.J efferson theatre last night, in spite of threatening wealth. CT and the prevalence of ipfluenza in Birmingham. It was surprising proof of the popularity of the play, which has been seen before on the local stage.
 Judging from the hearty laughter all most continuous throughout the perform ance. it was enjoyed by everyone pres lent The farce is one of the wittiest and brightest presented to theatregoers in re- cent years The plot is not only original and clever, but the lines and scenes are mirth-provoking. The complications which arise when 3 home-staying husband who ri in h ic ifo T. lows weird cocktails, followed by champagne as chaser with the equaI-s ly domestic and unsophisticated wife of his friend while her gay husband is out, obtensibly~ attending a lodge meeting and his own wife has gone to the opera with arother man, may readily be imagined. even if one has not seen the play. The efforts of the guileess pair to compro- mise themselves and make their respec- tive partners jealous is bowling sue cess. Their experiments with most of the alcoholic drinks known to bar tender-that suave and facile artist who no longer functions in this pant of the country-are hilariousy disastrous. An excellent company presented the play. Paul Irving made Billy Bartlett, the home-loving husband, most amusing. He was ably seconded by Elaine Ivans, pretty and winsome, as "Blanny." Horace Aintz as Philip Evans, Ruth Tomlinson / As l1duid baftlett, ana DouSidp MAC Pherson as Jack Wheeler, were others in the east who contributed their talents to a capital performance. In the small part of a maid, Tesse Myrta Bellail made the most of her opportunities.
