THREE MAIN QUESTIONS

What is the characte and extent of the government construction programme? What is the plan for continuing gov ernment operation?
 If government operation is to be dis continued, on what basis will the ships be operated privately and to what eX- tent will government control be main- taned?
 Collateral to these questions, but also O. great importance, are those that re- late to the future construction pro gramme. as to the number and type of ships to be built and whether certain types of ships already constructed shall be authorized for foreign account.
 MT. Hurley also said within the last 50 days he had secured much informa- tioE on the construction programmes. operating problems and general plans of the other maritime powers and that the information obtained had particular refer ence to the questions now under discus sion in the United States. He feels that as a result of his investigations he will be able on his return to the United States to present inlorma ton and data obta ined while in England, which will bear direct ly on the questions involved and should be of great assistance in determining the best future policy for the American mer- chant marine.

New York January 2S.--Any doubt as to the double suicide of the Misses Dorthea and Gladys Cromwell. twins prominent in New York society. who had been serving in France with the American Red Cross. was removed to- day on the arrival here of the French line steamship La Lorraine.
 Passengers aboard the liner confirmed cable reports from Bordeaux that the girls had jumped to their death from the liners rail while she was passing out of the mouth of the Garonne river on january 19. They were seen to take the leap by an American soldier on sentry duty, who gave the alarm. Pas sengers said it was nearly 15 minutes tefore the ship could be stopped and then efforts to ltacover the bodies failed

The lady at the office is sure nice to us. Every afternoon at 3 o'clock she brings us a pot of coffee, waffles os bread and real COW butter, and it cer- tainly is good. I gave her a bar of ,com- mon old yellow soap the other day and she danced all over the kitchen with it in her hands. You know they haven't been able to get soap for over year and half, all of the fats used in soaps going to the army for cooking. You know since Germany has had no import ed goods coming in they have had no pepper, spices and such things as that We got cinnamon. pepper and ginger issued to us by the dozens so I gave her some of that and some coffee and she nearly had a fit. .They don't have any coffee at all and use barley and rye as substitutes
 T am getting where l can speak a little of this Dutch now We have a company interpreter and every night she and her husband come in and we talk it over. They certainly do pay some taxes on their property. This old man has quite a few acres of land and is fixed up pretty good. He pays taxes on his land. then what he grows and then on that part Of his own stuff that he eats. On all this he has to give part of his products to the government. For instance, if he kills a pig he must give most of it up to the government at a price of one and one-half marks per pound Then when he has to buy itNbacll for his own use the government charges him 111s marks per pound. If that is not robbery then I'm Swede.
 Well, who should walk up last night but Captain Edmundson and he surely did look fine. As fat as butter and all dressed up and no place to go. He is not going to take command of the com pany for a while yet but is to be judge for the battalion. It is an easy job for him, but I certainly do wish he was taking old hard D' back and I suppose he will before we start home

JUMPED FROM DECK

The ship sailed early next morning. At o'clock that night the sisters were observed walking along the promen- ade deck A few minutes later the sentry reported seeing them step to the rail on the port side, forward.
 According to the sentry, one climbed sover and leaped into the river. The other followed almost before the first struck the water. Hearing the guard s cry. two Young Mems Christian asso- cia ation workers ran to the rail and saw two forms in the water. but they were soon left astern.

When you hold in your arms your
tiny new infant be sure that you can
feel that before it's arrival you did all
in your power 70 give to IL a happy
prenatal influence.
Scientists say that the thoughts and
feelings Of the expectant mother great
ly affect the health and disposition Of
the future infant.
For rel half q century thousands Of
women who have used the time -hon-
ored remedy, Mothers Friend, say that
they entirely escaped nausea, nervous
ness and that peculiar distressing feel
ing so usual where nature is unaided.
They thus preserved a wonderfully
bright and happy disposition, which re-
fleets so markedly upon the unborn
child.
BY the regular use Of Mothers Friend
the muscles are made and kept soft
and elastic to readily yield to natures
demand for expansion without the
usual wrenching strain. The nerves are
not drawn upon, and as a consequence
the expectant mother is calm and
serene and the nights are not dis
turbed with nervous twitchlngs, and
the crisis Is one OF Joy and happiness.
