STYLE OF SHIPS
 FOR ]. 5. NAVY
 UNDE TERRhINEl

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The navy department has reached no conclusion as yet as to types of capital ships to be recommended to congress, opinion being still widely divided on the ques- ton of composite ships, which came up during the last session. Secretary Daniels had a preliminary conference today with Representative Butler, the new chairman of the house naval com mittee, and will talk over the situation with the whole committee later in the week, when a program for considera- ton of the navy bill will be shaped. The conference today, however, is un- derstood to have had to do with the general legislative situation and rou- l tine features of the bill rather than i the building program.
 ] Mir. Daniels said he believed it neces- sary that provisions of the naval bill covering pay and other running eX- | penses be pressed to avoid complica- tions at the end of the fiscal year. He indicated that he did not feel it neces- sary to reach a solution of the ship
 type controversy until service opinion could be harmonized.
 The committee will decide whether g ! WuOliy lltW naval DllI lS lb DC p4 IL1t
 or whether the old measure, whicf
 failed in the last congress, is to b'
 taken up. In the meantime, Mir. Dan
 iels has taken steps since his return tC reduce the appropriations asked for
 where that could be done, without i'm
 pairing the efficiency of the fleet, Oi
 slowing up the homeward movement O
 the army from France.
 The ship type disagreement probabl!
 will be fought out within the servic itself. before Secretary Daniels make
 any recommendations. For that req son, it is anticipated that the ney
 building clauses of the bill will b shaped to give wide elacticity as t
 types.
 ,, Mir. Daniels said that nothing tha | transpired during the trip abroad ha changed his opinion or that of his bu reau chiefs regarding the use of cap tured German ships of war as part c the American navay forces. He sai
 that the conclusion reached som months ago that the war prizes coul , not be used effectively or economicall as part of this country's fleet, wa
 strengthened. if anything, by a close inspection of the German ships.

 The corporations will be wholly CO., operative, seeking no profit, and while competition between manufacturers will not be limited by membership in the corporation, the paramount idea will be i to sell American goods.
 ' "Sell your own goods if you can, but l if you cannot sell your own goods, sell 1 the goods of some other American manufacturer" was given as the key note of the plan by member of the 1 associations export section, Whicf evolved the idea.

 Thursday is the time limit for the German reply and no extension has been granted.
 Although leaders throughout Ger many have decided that the treaty is unacceptable and will not be signed. the opinion in Paris seems to prevail that after the representatives of the allied and associated governments have considered the objections raised by the German plenipotentiaries and formulated their final reply, the Ger mans will affix. their signatures to the compact.
 Marshal Foch is taking nothing for | granted, as regards the probable action of the Germans at Versailles. He has made a visit to the occupied area and has informed the council of four of the military preparations that have beer made, contingent on the Germans re- fusing to accept the allied peace terms.

 When the resolution was read. the commissioners applauded for several minutes.

OLD FASHIONED WORK.

From the Dawson News:
There never was a time in the
worlds history when old-fashiOned
work was more desirable than at the
present time. A great many of the ills
that affect society and government are
due largely to the disposition on the
part of individuals and groups of in
diViduals to ignore the infinite as well
as the temporal value of plain, sweat
producing labor. Depend on it, moth
ing will take the place of this asset,
the most diverting as we'll as the most
benefcient-simple daily toll that
leaves one somewhat weary at night
fall but yet with feeling of con-
tentment and satisfaction that moth
ing else is able to supply. Govern
ments may do this and that thing, but
no form of legislation can take the
place Of a disposition on the part of
each of us to hoe our own row, for
GOO has given us each row to hoe,
and it is our duty and privilege to see
that the work is well done and with
willing and happy heart

it or not. They might as well come on
across with the other half and make
both dollars mean the most in per-
manent roadway improvements.
If we had to do all of it alone, we
could well afford to make the invest
ment. Paved roads are worth more to
industrial progress than anything we
can attain now. The man in the re-
hottest section of the county will get
out of his paved roads far more in
actual saving on hauling and vehicle
upkeep than his increase in taxes
can ever mean in spent money.
