An extensive development of shipbuilding and a wide expansion of maritime industry in all of it's branches is looked for by shipping interests of the Pacific coast with the return to the world of normal peace conditions. This expenditure, says correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press, is based in great cific coast suffered comparatively little by the demands of war, while at the same time it's immense na- tural resources were extensively de- velopcd by the government for in- creased tonnage The coast is now equipped with more than score of modern shipbulding plants, some of them among the largest in the country. These yards were equipped with every facility for turning out tonnage at the highest speed, and now that the war is over, these facilities will not be allowed to go to waste.
 In San Francisco, the harbor board recently announced plans for extensive reconstruction of piers and warehouses. Plans for an ab- sorbtion of usual port charges by division of overhead expense brings to the front the free port move ment, a subject which now looms large in relation to the commerce of all ports.
 According to Robert Dollar, a shipping authority. Pacific shipping by America will come into keen competition with Japan. Japan ese ship owners," he said, ''have made enormous profits during the war, therefore that competition will be backed with plenty of money supported by subsidies for ship. building and for carrying of mails advantages which Americans vii be forced to combat"

PRELATE GIVES VIEW,
 GENTLEMAN STANDARD

LONDON-The Rev. William Ralph Inge, dean of St. Paul's, de- voted a large part of speech re- gently to answering the question, What is an English gentleman?"
 He quoted Bernard Shaw as say ing: "A gentleman is a man who tries not to take out of life more than he puts in." "That, said the dean, lis the revolutionary defini- tion, but it is strictly true of what at heart we all feel to be the char. acter of gentleman, and it is a saying which cannot be rubbed in too vigorously in training the young gentleman.
 According to the English school of thought, the usual qualities of a gentleman are truthfulness, courage justice and fair play, the abhor- renee of meanness and crooked dealing, and respect for the person. ality of human beings as such"

RECOGNIZING SERVICE

A service flag for returned sol diers and sailors generally is being adopted by employers of Montana to be displayed by business houses to show the number of the nations former fighters each establishment has provided with positions.
 The plan has been heartily en- dorsed by Scott Leavitt, federal director of employment in Montana, A design being used consists of flag with a blue field on which is shown large, six-ponted white star. In the center of the star is large numeral indicating the number of discharged soldiers or sailors employed Around the mum eral are placed small five pointed red stars corresponding in number with the numeral Below are the words, Returned soldier Cor sol
 
 diers) employed here"
 "When the boys marched away" points out the employment director, "parades and brass bands were common Now the boys are coming home Whether from camp or battlefield, all of them should be paid the expression of gratitude due to those who have offered their lives in the time of their country's emergency. The American people should be quick to greet the re turning soldier and sailor with the same spirit of patriotism as was manifested when they entraned. The boys should be met with real reception in the form of being of fered return of the positions they vacated to answer their country's $ call, or the place to which they would have been entitled had they remained at home, and for those who have no prior employment to which they may return every effort should be made to secure a profit able position.
 Each community should take a special pride in caring for the re- turning soldier or sailor. As fast as the boys are released they naturally will return to those com munites in which their families and friends reside, and what is left of the boys pay of thirty dollars pei month after allotments, government insurance, laundry, post exchange and company collection are deduct ed is not large enough to carry hir for more than few days. The necessity for the attention of the American people to their obliga tion cannot be over-emphasized- they must help these boys in re establishing themselves.
 Tt should be as much matte of pride to give soldier or sailol a job now as it was to display thu fact that an employee had gone t' war"

ATHENS ESCAPES RAVAGES OF WAR;
 PRICES NORMAL

n Ailb-No.-IS S" large CILleS Ol the country that were engaged in the war have been less affected by it than the ancient capital of Greece Free entirely from the menace of air raids and hostile bombardment, and participating actively in the war for comparatively only a short time, Athens is today in all essential features exactly as it was in pre- war days.
 There is scarcely any outward sign that the country ever was in the great world conflict. During the entire progress of the war, all the stores, theaters, cafes, museums and places of amusement in the Greek metropolis were doing busi- ness as usual and the inhabitants felt only remotely the effects of the war. Prices of food and cloth ing were much higher than in peace times, but the people suffered from no such scarcity of these and other necessaries of life as did the popu- lations of London, Paris and other continental cities.
 The tourist, who at one time was one of the most abundant sources of revenue, however, disappeared entirely during the war.
 The passing years appear on the whole to have made little change in the Anthenian capital. If the visitor who knew Athens we'll in days long ago could pay another pilgrimage tothe historic city, he would see still the same quaint sights that have always made Athens appear to the foreigner rustic and unsophisticated, in the midst of all it's cosmopolitanism. He would see a number of milch goats roaming down one of the main streets, pick ing up orange peel and paper bags in the gutter, while their owner drew the sweet warm milk from them to fill the bottles and pitchers of the busy Greek housewives who emerged from their homes in re- spone to the tinkle of the goats bells and thl hawking cry of the fustanella-cl hersman. He would see also the countless little Greek gamins,, dirty and ragged, that are so much part of the life of the capital and who shine shoes and sell lottery tickets.
 Another familiar sight would be the old women, thin, tanned, and bent with years, with black hand kcrchiefs tied under their chins, and carrying on their backs dllapldated hampers of wild herbs and salad leaves. which they dispose of to the abstemious Greek householders of the neighborhood for about 25 lepta G cents) quart. Greek funeral processions, in which the body of the deceased is carried in an open hearse, fully exposed and without coffin or covering, are familiar sights.
 Other cities change with times, but Athens seems as immutable to- day as it was in the centuries that have gone. Three wars within a decade have altered only slightly the life. characteristics and institu- tions of the ancient city of Hellas.

SUIT IS FILED
 AGAINST |. ?. K.
 FOR LARGE SUM

Suit for $5O,9OO was filed in the superior court at Seattle recently against the Canadian Pacific Rail way company by Katherine HSomer- set, as administrative of the estate of Henry Albert Somerset, who lost his life in the wreck of the defendant company's steamship, the Princess Sophia, on October 26. This is the first suit filed there growing out the wreck, in which more than 340 persons lost their lives, and from which not soul was saved. The action is brought through Attorney William Martin and the law firm of Myers & John stone A second complaint, drawn at the request of Mrs. Bessie T. Kendall, widow of Alexander W. Kendall, who lost his life in the same wreck, was drawn, but not filed This complaint asks S20,00O.
 The complaint charges that the Princess Sophia left Skagway for Vancouver on October 23 at 10 o'clock p. m, during blinding snowstorm and blizzard, and con- tinued on her journey until October 24, when she struck the Vanderbilt reef, in Lynn Canal The danger of Lynn Canal and the presence of the rock were both well known to the defendant company, accord ing to the complaint.
 It is charged that after the Prin- cess Sophia struck the rock, and during the time that she hung there for forty hours before she was swept off, and all on board per ished, the passengers were pre- vented by Captain Loche, master of the vessel, from attempting to save themselves in the lifeboats.
 Other boats came to the rescue, the complaint charges, some coming as near as fifty feet. but when passengers attempted to get into the lifeboats and make their way to safety on the rescuing craft they were driven below decks by Captain Locke and his officers. The com plaint states that many passengers insisted that an attempt be made to remove them.
 According to the allegations of the complaint, Captain Locke com muicated by wireless with the de- fendant company at Vancouver and Victoria, B. C., and that the com pany ordered the steamship Prin cess Alice to proceed from Victoria to the rescue of the stranded ship. Though the journey was full sixty hours, it is charged that the com pany instructed Captain Locke to keep his passengers aboard until the arrivel of the Princess Alice. The rescue ship sent out by the company arrived after the Princess Sophia had foundered and sunk.
 In their attempts to escape. which were frustrated by the action of the ships officers, according to the complaint, many of the pass engcrs were bruised, cut and in jured, and either in this manner or by drowning when the vessel foundered, the plaintiff alleges, her husband lost his life.
 The sum of $5O,OOO is asked for the los: of the life of her husband by Mrs. Somerset, and the $500 is the amount of money which she alleges he had on his person.
 Henry Somerset was well known mining man of the Circle district, where he had worked for a number of years prior to his departure for the Outside last fall Both he and his wife formerly resided in Fair banks, where they were married
