Companions on Service FLAG.

A thirteen-star service flag has Just
been raised in Baltimore. It repre-
sents thirteen inseparable companions.
One star is golden and honors the
memory Of Louis Cohen, boatswain's
mate on the United States steamer
Manley, who made the supreme sac,
rifce when his ship and British YES
sci collided somewhere in the Atlantic.
The other twelve stars represent HE
mourning companions. who are now
preparing to go "over there" Four
are in the navy, one at Camp McClel-
Ian, Admission, Ala, and another at
Camp Meade Md. The flag hangs
from the window Of a store kept by
II. Mankoditz. at 143O Baltimore
street, where the ''crowd of thirteen"
used to meet before being called to
the colors. Cohen was a son Of Louis
Cohen, living at IL Ridger place, New
York. The Marley collision occurred
March 10 last. A depth charge aboard
the ship was exploded by the impact,
killing one officer and three enlisted
men and injuring number of others.

There is an old saying in baseball
that the club in the lead Of league
July 4 will be in the lead at the end
of the season
The rule is rather distorted but it
remains baseball history that the club
in the lead by the middle of July is u.s.
ually the club which collects at the
wire. :.
On July the Clevelo-I club won
two games from st. Louis while Bos-
ton and New York were breaking ev-

With the Cleveland club there are
more reasons than the old time-hon-
orded belief about the Fourth and the
club will be out in front in October
and that Ohio will see its first world

pany Of New York.
Great Britain has approached her
problem Of commercial reconstruction
after the war with an enthusiasm and
thoroughness which holds both sugges-
ton and inspiration for the United
States. If America IS to retain and
enlarge on the astonishing growth Of
her foreign trade in the last three and
a half years she will do well to follow
the British example.
British reconstructionists take due
cognizance of the two periods of post
war activities-the period Of readjust-
ment to a new peace basis and the de-
velopment Of business upon that basis.
But in the plans Of Great Britain's
Ministry Of Reconstruction these two
periods largely overlap. 1t is the vital
aim Of that body to make the period
Of transition as brief as possible.
The idea Of British leaders is that II
the empire is to endure there must be
such refitting Of men and industries to
meet changed circumstances and such
redirection of effort as will insure the
utmost development of other resources
Upon the surplus Of these resources in
goods and services which she can dis
pose of to other countries depends
Great Britain's ability to get out of
debt and to resume her commercial and
financial leadership. Throughout the
empire the idea is being fostered that
the, future rests upon increasing pro-
duction and reducing consumption.

BY CHAIRMAN HURLEY.
WILL MEAN MUCH TO STATE
Governments Decision to Build Con-
crete Vessels There May Mark
Great Development.

Special from Washington.-Selec
tion of Wilmington, N. c., as the site
of one of the shipping boards new
concrete shipyards was definitely an
nounced by Chairman Hurley.
Growing need of oil carriers caus-
ed the shipping board to decide to be-
gin as soon as possible the construc-
ton of feet of steel barges, ocean
going tugs and concrete tank steamers
to replace the large number of tank
ers taken from the Mexican and coast
wise service for transatlantic trade.
It is estimated that Is additional
steamers are required
Seven of the concrete ships will be
built at Wilmington, Chairman Hur.
ley announced the board having
selected Wilmington as the site of
a new yard in the south. Three of
these ships will be of $500 tons and
four of $500 tons.
The shipping board announcement
that the government will build con-
cretee ships at Wilmington is most
significant and may mean a great real
not only to that community but the
entire eastern portion of the state.
The real test of the concrete ship
proposition will be made by the Unit
ed States at the North Carolina port.
If the scheme works out well, as 1t is
expected to do, then the center of a
great new industry will be at Will
mington.
This will mean a great deal more
than few contracts to one or more
contractors for fabricated ships. Uncle
Sam is going to build his own yards,
and operate government plant.
The advantages of labor and cli-
mate are favorable to the government
plans. Wilmington has been definite
ly agreed upon Officials of the ship
ping board have warned that if land
sharks try to gouge the government,
when it comes to selecting sites, the
program may fall through. Whining
ton business men have assured the
federal authorities that nothing like
that will be permitted or even at
tempted. A number of other southern
cities are hot after this enterprise
and Wilmington has been honored.
Senator Simmons was told that Will
mington would be selected, but asked
not to announce it until Chairman
Hurley made statement.
Representatives Goodwin held con-
ference this morning with the ship
ping board and Immediately gave out
the following statement:
"The government will build ship
yard at Wilmington. Plans are now
being prepared for that purpose, and
as soon as completed the construction
of the shipyard will begin. This con-
struction work will cost about $1,000
600. The shipping board expressed
the hope that Wilmington would be
reasonable in the purchase of sites,
and they were assured that no exorbi-
tant prices would be charged.
The government will construct six
concrete ships, the first three OF $500
tons each and the other three Of $500
tons each. The cost to construct all
these will be $6,OOO,O00. There will
be a payroll during the construction
of these six ships of something like
S 900, 900 The shipyards will be per-
manent and owned by the govern
ment.
