Why Memorial Building Should
be Erected in Wilson and Why every
citizen in the county should contrib
ute literally to the building fund.
In nineteen hundred and seven
teen when the United States entered
the great European war Wilson
county sent more soldiers in proper
tion than any other county. Why
now that it is over should the citi-
zens Of Wilson County let those brave
lads line in France honored only
by q cross placed there by some ia
vorite companion. Why not we, as
liberty loving Americans place a
memorial building in Wilson to
show some devotedness to our SOL
diers.
It is essential not only for the
commemoration Of the soldiers but
for other things as we'll. It will be
used as a rest room for the ladies Of
Wilson County who go there to shop.
It will also be used as a county
museum. An exhibition Of all for
eign weapons will be displayed
there. Therefore, every citizen in
Wilson county shoul dbe
contribute nberall yto this fund.

RULING OF DEPARTMENTS

Washington, March 13.-The ma
val Air Station at Morehead City
will not be abandoned, as was re-
Gently contemplated. The General
Board of the Navy Department has
recommended to Secretary Daniels
that the North Carolina station
along with other stations on the At
lantic Coast be retained as emer-
gencies in the event of future wars.
Lieut.. Ireland, of Morehead City,
who is in charge of the Naval Sta
tion, in an interview with The News
and Observer representative yester-
day stated:
"The Naval Air Station, More
head City, was first established as
detachment naval air station Of
Hampton Roads, on September II.
At that time it consisted of refu-
cling station for seaplanes from
other stations and had of it's own a
personnel of eight men and one sea-
plane. Since that time the person
mel has increased to twenty officers
and three hundred men.
Shortly after that construction
of a permanent station was begun.
The plans included quarters for 7o0
men and officers and three hangers
capable of accommodating one
squadron of eighteen seaplanes.
Since the time work began every ef-
fort has ben made to rush it to
completion, and while difficulties of
all kinds were encountered present
indications show that can be COM
pleted in the near future.
"At the beginning the personnel
camped on the grounds in the build

Says There Was an Arrange

Willard Whip Him
FOR TIL E MONEY
FOR THE MONEY

Havana, Cuba, March 13.-JacA
Johnson in signed statement here
tonight declares that his fight with
Jesses Willare four years ago was
a prearranged affair, and that the
terms fthe contract to let Willard
come off the victor in the bout was
the payment of $500, and the en-
tire rights to the moving pictures OF
the fight in Europe and one-third
of the profits from the moving pic
lures shown in the United States
and Canada, and further agree
ment that Willard would see to it
that his troubles with the federal
government were arranged so that
he could return to Chicago and see
his mother and reclaim his proper
ty. The former champion says that
unless Willard agrees to fight him
within a reasonable length of time
he will claim the championship. He
signs himself, Champion" to the
paper.
Willard Denies Fight Fake
Lawrence, Kansas, Mar. 13.@
Jack Johnson simply needs the
money, and is trying to put on an
other fight" was the statement of
Jess Willard today when shown the
despatch regarding the announce.
ment of Johnson regarding the
fight of four years ago. "There is
absolutely nothing to it," Willard
said.
Jack Curley Comes With His Denial
Chicago, Mar. 13.-Jack Curley,
the promoter of the Johnson-Wi-
Hard championship fight and one of
the managers branded Johnson's
statement as child-like and the
whine of a man who is at the end
of his rope. Wizards fight with
Johnson was one of the squarest
that was ever PULLED off Curley

statement with a denial. It is
crude joke. Johnson is almost
childish in his simplicity and his
game is so crude that I refuse to
fall for It. do not intend to fight

COMPLETE T|E-UP

and Elevated May Have
to Stop
FOR LACK OF FUEL

New York, March ia com
pete tie-up of New York City's sub
way, elevated and surface car lines
as we'll as paralysis of its harbol
shipping, is threatened by the strike
of harbor workers which has been
in progress more than week, il
was asserted yesterday.
Frank Hedley, general manager
Of the Interborough Rapid Transit
and allied lines declared unless coal
barges are moved at once a shut
down of transportation ON Manhat-
tan Island will result. Freight is
piling up at piers and the movement
Of transatlantic and coastwise
shipping has been demoralized.
"The last regular delivery of coal
was made to the interborough a
week ago." Mr.. Hedley said yester-
day. while we have been able to
get few loads here and there, the
total amount has been far from suf-
ficient to keep the lines running.
We require about 1000 tons a day
and if we cannot get it in some way
we will have to suspend opera
tions."
Appeals to Washington yesterday
described the situation as critical
and called for Federal Intervention
by the Communicating of tugboats.
The wholesale Goa dealers associa-
tion telegraphed Secretary of War
Baker petitioning him to seizze en-
ough equipment tc coal troop ships
tied up here.
While these appeals were going
forwarl the situation was further
complicated by announcement by
Matthew McConville, head of the
Hosting Engineers Union, that his
organization would support the
strikers if coal barges were manned
by non-union labor.
A statement by the Longshore-
mems Association said unless the
Federal government intervenes it
will be impossible to load vessel in
New York harbor.
The Boat Owners Association de-
clared it would not meet the strik-
ers through their union leaders, and

discuss grievances.

Mr.. Straus proposed an addition
