'PLAN To launch
THIRD SHIP JUNE q
Vanada Will Leave Ways at
Virginia Shipbuilding
Plant
ASKED TO DECORATE
Every Merchant on King Street Urged
to Decorate on Occassion.-Em-
ployes of Company Contribute G565.

The Gunstcn Hall. the first 9,400
ton ship constructed by the Virginia
Sh;ptuiiding Corporation, will leave
the yards of that company NEXT
Saturday morning for Norfolk from
whence it viii sail for Australia On
its maiden voyage.
This ship has been turned over by
the United States Shipping Board
to the Barber Steamboat Company.
Announcement was made today by
the officials Of the Virginia s'n;p-
building Corporation that the Va
nada, the third ship built by that
company, will be launched Satu: LAY,
June 81. The hour for the launch
ing has not yet been determined
upon, although it is expected at the
launching probably viii take place at
2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Hope is expressed that the mer-
chants of Alexandria will decorate
en- that OCCASION.
A representative of the concern to-
day in speaking with representa-
tive of the Gazette remarked that
the merchants of Alexandria with
out exception appeared to be satis-
fed with the business brought to.
Alexandria by this company AMI its
employed, but few of them displayed
arA interest whatever when they
were asked to decorate for the two
previous launchings. He pointed
oft that many of the employees re-
sented the failure Of the merchants
to decorate aud intimsted that had
the company been located in any
other city in the United States ether
than Alexandria The merchants
would have surely shown the:: ap-
precat;on by decorating.
II was further pointed out b. the
official that the business of mo:t OF
the merchants has doubled, solely
due to the coming to Alexandra Of
this company Hope is therefore,
expressed that. on the. ocasiQn o. the
launching of the 'Vsnada. everybody
in Alexandria, especially the iner-
chants. will decorate, as they have
demonstrated they can decorate.
The individual employees of. these
yards have just contributed the
sum of 1865 to the Welcome Home
Committee for its celebration and
three ether departments are yet to
be heard from. This amount was
given voluntarily by the employees
and the time in soliciting was given
bv officials of its company who are
willing to do anything reasonable to
help any cause featured in this city.
