CARTHAGE SURRENDERED ITS FLEET ID ROME AS
 A PRICE OF PUNIC WAR
CARTHAGE SURREDERED-18 ~ Rome Was the Great Military Power, And Carthage the Supreme Naval Power of Antlsuity.

London, Jan, 5.--(Correspondene
 of The Associated ress. 1.-The Bishor
 of Durham has found an historical
 precedent for the surrender of the German fleet in the pages Of Livy. That ancient chronicler tells how, as | an article of the peace agreement which ended the second unic war Carthage had to surrender to Rome the whole of her battle fleet. Rome, the artiles points out, was the great military power and Carthage was the great naval power of antiquity just as Germany and England In mod- ern times. Rome beat Carthage the soldier beat the sailor. In the con- flic; Rome revealed an extraordinary adaptability for naval warfare, and Carthage grave internal weakness.
 The German writer's" the Manches- ter Guardian comments anticipated a similar course for q war between Ger many and England. They were confi- dent that the German military mind applied to naval warfare would prove it's superiority to the English. and that England, put to test would be proveo rotten--a great illusion."
 Explaining why tho parallel of anti quity was deceptive, the Guardian pro- ceeds:
 'I should not too hastily be assumed that the British Navy displayed an iit- tellectual superiority derived from long tradition which no young navy could hope to overcome. We are on safe ground if we say that the Ger man navy, unlike the navy of ancient Rome, showed itself singularly wood- en and unadaptable Sir David Beatty has pronounced it's strategy and it's tactics contemptihle.
 'lf the comparison of Germany with Rome was false, still falser was the comparison of England with Carthage, Carthage was narrow Oligarchy resting upon persuliarly harsh slave system, and defended by a mercenary army recruited from all the Mediter rancan peoples. But gentlemen of the school of Treitschke could not be expected to see that, for they despised political freedom"

MARVELS OF AVIATION LIKE FAIRY ROMANCE
Says General Squier, Chief Signal Officer in Addressing American In. stitute of Electrical Engineers.

l New York, jan. 11.--Marvels of | aviation development in the United States during the war, more like d facts. which it is in reality" were described here last night by Major General eOrgc O. Squler, chief sig nal officer of the United States army in an address before the American Institute of Electrical en- eineers.
 The radio phone. an invention which enabled American air squad- ron commanders to direct and con- trOl by voice the movement of indi- 1 vidual units, who in turn helped al- lied artlllerymen tc silence the Ger man guns, Wa e::oiled as one of the greatest device, of the war.

On November 6th, 1918, at Chattanooga. Tenn, he said, a veloci- ty of 154 miles an hour was obser- ved al a height of 2S000 feet. knG wledge of these conditions, he added, would be of the utmost impor tance in the future of aviation.
 Another scientific accomplishment of the air service. the speaker said, was the production of Helium, non-inflammable gas, in qquanttes sufficient for balloon use. Predicting that with it's use safe trans Contin- cnta! and transatlantic travel III dirsibles would become common place, tho general credited the navy department and the burau of mines, with cooperation wnich brought about it's development to practical degree before the close of the war.

At tine same time, he stated. $50 firms employing 200- 900 persons, were engaged in the production of airplanes.

DfMOBLIzAIION Of
 HUNDRED MILLION
 WORKERS COLOSSAL
Not An Easy Matter to Satisfy Num- tIOns Worker With Salary of $I, Who Received SEQ Per Week.

London, Jan. u.--( Correspondence of the Associated Press.) de mobolize' about 100000 women war workers is the colossal task assigned to special department of the Minis try of Labor. Women predominatc in this new organization.
 One of the most difficult of their problems will be how to satisfy a munitions worker who has been earn ing from SIS to $20 week now that she is called to return to her former tasks as a family servant at from $S to $325 week. Government officials realize that this is one of the hard problems connected with the recon struction period especially as these girls and wome nmust sacrifice some of the freedom they have enjoyed as munitions workers and now submit to more eXacting hours of work. They are appealing to the workers to ad- just thefselves to the new order of things as best they can, and to be willing to make sacrifices during the reconstruction as they did during the war.
 Unemployment is one of the big problems. Employers arc being admon- ished to give their workers long no- tice of dismissal and not to discharge large numbers at one time. To aid the girls, the government has decided to give each war worker $4.75 a week for 13 weeks after she stops war work if, during that time, she does not find other employment. This is the only tangible bridge the govern men has been able to provide to car ny the workers over the transition period. Other means of helping the situation are to be left to the new organization ill the Labor Ministry. To solve the problem of demobolizing these women workers, the country has been divided into II labor district, each with district council which will be in close touch with the Labor Min istry. These councils will be composeu of representatives of each town oA small district in which there is a labor employment agency and these latter agencies will organize committees to care for the needs of the workers in each town
 X member of the government re gently told The Associated Press that tho most serious difficulties could be expected during the first six months of peace. During that time, he said there was bound to be much unemmoy- ment and dissatisfaction over wages and the high cost of living. He hoped reduction of the prices of necessi- ties would help to relieve the stua- ton.

market rates by determination of a
world price for the sale of the surplus
AT present the world price exceeds the
government price How much of the
federal appropriation would be expend
ed, the director stated, would depend
upon the harvest, as would also the
government policy of buying and sell
ing portions of the crop.
In relation to federal acquisition of
wheat, which he predicted would be
carried out on an extensive scale III
fulfilling the guarantee to farmers, par
ticularly if the world price should be
lower than the government basis, eff
fective until juno j, 1920, Mr.. Barnes
said three plans were under consideras
ton: Direct dealing with the farmers,
which would bring the director into
contact with / 100000 persons; pur3
chase through the country grain ex-
changes, which would necessitate
keeping 10000 accounts, and buying
through the mills, which would reduce
the number of clients to 1000.
As to sale of government acquired
stocks, the director said that congress,
with clear conception of the difficult
ties of the coming year. had delegated
to the president large powers and dis
cretion, which would be at the service
of the wheat administration. The sale
policy, he stated, would be decided by
factors developing with the season, and
the license power would be used, if
necessary, to control trade practices so
as to assure proper reflection of the
guaranteed price reaching all classes of
producers.
Mr.. Barnes denied reports that gov
eminent agencies were urging farmers
to cut their acreage of spring wheat
and regarded as fortunate, in view of
food conditions throughout the world
the probability that America would pro
/ duce this year the greatest crop ever
grown. The 1918 harvest--second larg-
est in the nations history--was con
sumed or pledged, he stated
Whether the world value would con.
tinue during the eeming year higher
than the government S fixed price. he
said, would depend on the foreign crops
whose prospects field agents of Herbert
! Hoover, head of the Inter-Allied Food
Commission, were studying.
1t would be well for Americans tc
appreciate, Mr.. Barnes asserted, that
= five ravaging years had created al
unparalleled world food position.
Mr. Barnes said the food administra
ton, which had practically disband
ed, " would continue continue technical
" in operation until peace was pro
claimed At that time. he added, the
Food Administration Grain Corpora
ton, which he headed throughout tn
war and will remain in charge OF 70
the present, probably would drop thu
first two words of the name. He hat
assurances, he stated, that a majority
of the 20 grain men who were associa
ted with him in its management, woul,
remain in the service despite their de
sire, with hostilities ended, to return 4
their private activities.
