Rapid Rise of Merchant Marine.

Mr.. Daniels sketched the rapid rise
of the American merchant marine
during the. last century through the
days Of tie famous clipper ships up
to 1855, when over 10 per cent Of
American export goods was carried
in American ships. He then outlined
the causes leading to the decline OF
American flag had practically disap-
peared from the seas and only 10 per
cent of Americas export trade was
carried in American ships. He said
that the United States would profit by
the mistakes that cost the nation its
merchant marine and that with
plenty of ships. adequate facilities
for building more ships, tremendous
quantities Of export goods to carry
and numbers of American boys eager
to go to sea, the United States would
assume and hold for all times COM
manding position in the merchant
marine circles Of the world.

Large Dealers Here Act in
Conjunction With Health
Officer Fowler.
CRISIS BELIEVED PASSING

Through the perfection of an I'M
official organization Of large ice deal
ers, who practically control the sup
ply of ice for Washington, with DR..
William C. Fowler, health officer, at
it's head, profiteering in ice during the
shortage will be checked, it was prom
Used today.
TIL see to 1t that any ice man deal
ing in home custom who makes a
practice of profiteering will not get
any ice to SELL" declared DR.. Fowler
this morning.
< Ice dealers throughout the city, CO.
operating to the fullest extent with
DR.. Fowler, have made possible this
control of exorbitant prices. One Of
fetal stated that the realization of the
harm Of such practice to men who will
continue in the ice business here dur
ing the future was one Of the strong
est reasons for the unofficial amalga-
nation Of ice dealers for preventive
purposes.
'The crisis in ice is passing" W. b.
Westlake. representing citizens as
sociations on the ice control commit
tee formed by DR.. Fowler. declared
this morning, There win be no trou-
BILE if the present cool weather con-
tinues for few days, so that ice
may be stored, and II we receive the
continued support Of housewives and;
other ice users shout the city. 81 81
The spirit shewn by residents here
cannot BE- praised too highly. The
conservation thus Tar practiced re-
that no real trouble will be forth
coming during the rest of the SUM.
mer II residents keep cool headed and
the .-co-operation we have received,
both from the dealers and citizens,
continues
One of the most gratifying results
OF the ice situation, 1t was stated
has been the coordination of dis
tributing principles of ice. In win
is virtually one-tenth Of what it is
in summer. On this account some
trouble has been experienced in put
ting into operation a distributing sys-
tenn ten times the volume of the win
ter one at the outset Of summer.
One Benefit Is Derived.
Mr. westlake declared that great
benefit from the shortage was the
fact that dealers were brought to
realize the necessity for a better dis
tributing system. The pooling Of the
ice in Washington and cooperation
between all dealers, with the key
stone of the organization in the Dis
trict health Office, has been a great
lesson in efficiency, experts state.
The situation at the basket plat
forms continues in less intensity, but
the same manner as In the previous
days. At the ice plants throughout the
city lines were formed early this
morning. but in practically every case
they moved along swiftly and the long
waits of hours for ice during the early
part of the week were shortened
greatly.
BY bringing three dealers before the
committee and charging them with
INSCRIPTIONS "jayhawkers" in the ice
traffic was made yesterday. With the
backing of every manufacturing plant
in the city. DIR. Fowler assured these
men that they would mot receive one
pound of ice unless the practice of
exorbitant selling changed. Drastic
measures will follow any further vio-
lations, it was stated.

War Brought Realization.

To-day as never before the Ameri-
can people realize the real meaning
of seapower," said Mr.. Daniels '"aThe
war brought us to q realization Of
our weakness on the sea and never
again will we be in the humiliating
position in which we found ourselves
in 1917.
1--WE will build merchant marine
which shall carry our commerce to
the ends Of the earth; which shall
once more place our flag in all the
sea lanes of trade; which shall carry
made goods, in American
built bottoms, manned by American
sailors. We will see to 1t that the
heritage of the last century is not
last aside. We will never again permit
the trade Of this nation to pass into
the hands of others"
Mr.. Daniels pointed to the produc-
ton of ships in the United States dur
ing the war as an evidence that the
nations shipbuilders have not lost
their old-time skill. and said that
while the United States will continue
to build ships and still more ships,
the builders would take the time to
place those ships in the lead In econo-
my of operation, speed and cargo
carrying capacity.

PURCHASES. CAUSE CORN RECORD
Oats Make Slight Rise, While Provisions Take
 a Setback
sv A,soetared Press


 Chicago. March 24-Export purchases of corn here. the first that have been made in sometime, lifted the market to- day to new high levels for the season. Closing prices. however, were unsettled at hc net lower to an advance of Pc, with May s147aL47ls and July s1.S7s.d LS7. Oats gained hGSsc. The result in provisions was a setback of 10 to Slc. At first the corn market showed consid- erahle weakness owing, to larger receipts and to fine weather that promised to make the movement continue more liberal tran has been the rule of late.
 Another bearish factor was a current report that the government was to let go of much rye and barley. Then word be- gan to circulate that export demand for corn had resulted in actual business here amounting to upward of 10000 bushels, and that additional foreign buying was in prospect,
 Radical bullish sentiment quickly de- veoped and was given further stimulus by decrease of the visible supply total ficial forecast of cheaper values for food stuffs led to something of a reaction. Oats sympathized with the strength of corn.
 Weakness in the hog market had a de- pressing effect on provisions.
