SHIPYARD AIDS ALEXANDRIA.
Establishment by Virginia Corpo-
ration Expands City's Business.

The establishment by the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation Of a large
shipyard on the waterfront of Alex
andria, Va, has resulted in an enor-
nous expansion of business in that
city.
The ship concern has increased the
population of Alexandria greatly, be-
sides aiding merchants of that city
and Washington because of its aver
age distribution of 100000 week in
wages. This amount is said to be
larger than that paid by any corpora
tion from Newport News to Baltimore.
The corporation announces that 1t
plans to build bridges for railroad
tracks entering the yard. There has
been invested to date by the cor
poration in the plant approximately

Lloyd George A.swers Critics.

Premier Lloyd George replied to his
critics in the debate in the house or
commons today on the second reading
Of the German peace treaty and the
Anglo-French convention. His recent
announcement that the former Ger
man emperor would be tried before
tribunal in London had created
much discussion. and several members,
including Lord Robert Cecil. expressed
doubts as to the advisability of the
trial being held in London.
The selection of a neutral country
for this purpose, it had been contend
ed, would have been better. The pre-
mier, in answer to this. said: What
right have we to assume that any
neutral country could desire to be
the scene of such a trial? The allies
have sufficient confidence in this
country that whoever comes here for
highest traditions of the British ma
ton, and there are none higher in
the world.
IF war is to be abolished it must
be treated, not as an honorable game
with the prospect of personal glory,
but as a crime. That is why we de-
cided that the author of this war
should be tried"
Another matter of extreme i'm
portance which came up for discus
sion was the Irish question. and to
this the premier devoted considerable
time, with numerous intersections by
Joseph Devlin, nationalist for Falls
division of Belfast.
Sir Samuel Hoare, unionist Tor
Chelsea. warned the government that
some Of the unionists considered the
settlement Of the Irish difficulty just
as urgent as did the Irish members.

Fourteen Points Fail to Work

The premier caused laughter by de-
scribing the Irish convention which
had failed to agree as his attempt
to apply President Wilson's princi-
pies to Ireland.
Answering Mr.. Devlin's demand
for a referendum. he urged that the
difficulty was that Ireland was not
nation, but three nations in race,
religion and temperament and out
look-in fact. in everything con-
stftuting the fundamental conditions
of a nation. Until this difficulty was
>bridged, it was useless to talk about
self determination. and until Irish
men definitely faced this difficulty, he
despaired Of any settlement.

Officers of High Rank.

The two mysterious prisoners for
merly were German officers of high
rank, occupying positions of great
responsibility under Won Hindenburg
Before the Inauguration of the Amer
lean offensives in 1918 operatives of
the American Military Intelligence
Corps prevailed upon them, through
inducements which have not been di-
vulged, to deliver plans of the Ger
man general staff covering the pro-
posed movements on the western
front. probable lines of retreat,
points at which stands would be
made, and other detailed information
of inestimable value.
With these plans before him Gen.
Pershing was able to lay out his
campaign with great freedom. and it
is believed that a result was to cut
the cost of the American advance
practically to half
Surrendered to Americans.
The German officers later surren-
dered themselves to the American
forces. Certain of their former asso-
ciates had become suspicious, how
ever, and are believed to have banded
together to mete out stern justice.
Utmost precautions were taken, even
within the allied lines, to protect the
fnformers, but, as officials believed
that as long as they were kept in
France their lives would be in dan
ger, orders were given for their
transfer to this country.
Preparations for the moving of the
prisoners were kept a close secret,
and it was only through the careless
ness of some clerk that they were in
cluded in the roster of the Agamem-
non when she left France
The plan was to send the prisoners
to some isolated Army post, where
they might be given military pro-
lection for time. Eventually, it is
supposed, they would have been per-
mitted to escape" to some other
country, there to begin their lives
anew. Officials will not say what
action will be taken.

Acts on Peace Treaty.

The house of commons tonight u1an-
imously passed the second reading of
the peace treaty.
The treaty bill passed the commit
tee of the whole without amendment.
When the third reading was moved
Joseph Devlin, nationalist, demanded
its rejection as protest against the
premier's reference to Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George, replying, rediculed
the suggestion that his attitude to-
ward ireland had changed. He SAID
he adhered to his position announced
in the general election and was pre-
pared to carry it into effect. The
home rulers, he added, could have
home rule for themselves if they
wished it, but they could not force
it on Ulster.
The house then rejected Mr.. Dew
Inns motion by a vote of 1853 to and
the bill passed the third reading.

a League Of Nations to which the

No League Of Nations, no Treaty

Helping to Keep Roads Open.

Help given last winter by the
Weather Bureau in keeping the Lin
coin Highway open between Harris
burg and Pittsburg, Pa, during the
season of heavy SHOWS is being ar
ranged this year for portions of New
York and New Jersey. The bureau
has called the attention of its Off
Gals in charge of stations to the SER
vice they may give the public by CO.
operation with State highway COM
missions, automobile associations,
and others in keeping open main
highways especially those used for
rural express, motor-truck, and par
cel-post routes. The work in the
winter of 1918 was in cooperation
with the Pennsylvania State High
way Commission. Reports of the a
mount and condition of snow were
made by the assistant superinten-
dents of highways at points along
the Lincoln Highway to the Weather
Bureau office at Pittsburg, which
bulletined the reports to the press,
automobile clubs, and motor-truck
associations. The official in charge
at Pittsburg also issued warnings of
heavy SHOWS for the mountain re-
gions of western Pennsylvania, based
on the state forecasts. These were
furnished by the press and telegraph
ed to the State superintendent of
highways, who gave instructions to
his assistants for keeping the routes
open.

IMMORTAL FRIENDSHIP
E. d. Koontz

E. d. KoOntz
The scorching winds of Death may
ride
Across the desert sands;
Earth's life may wither far and wide
Within its poisoned hands,
But friendships soul will be I'M
touched,
It's beauties still will bloom,
It's petals kissed by heavens dew,
Spring up amid the gloom,
The stars may fall from heavens
throne
And perish mid the dust;
Black darkness rule the vaulted dome.
True love may burn with lust;
But friendships soul will still be
pure,
Mid heavens wide domain,
It's light will pierce the wells of
mist,
It's stars shall live again.
The sun may cease to whirl in space;
Let worlds die at his feet,
All Life may writhe in Deaths en-
brace,
When cold displaces heat;
But friendships soul shall still sur
vive,
Amid the wrecks of Time,
From suns of worlds unknown to
man
It sheds it rays divine.
From Arctic North the ice may flow,
To crush sleeping world,
Beneath it's fierce Titanic blow,
The world to Death be hurled,
But friendship stands among the
ruins,
It's soul of shining gold,
viii help create some other worlds
Free from the touch of cold
Old oceans tides may fall and rise;
And drown the human race,
Beneath it's weight all life may
cease;
Exist but Time and Space,
But friendships ark upon it's crest
With Olive-branch and Dove,
Shall live again in human hearts,
Around the shrines of Love.

1A0 Paners Omit in Iowa

In the state Of Iowa a hundred or
more weekly and trade papers have
ceased to exist during the past year.
They have been prey of the existi-
ng high prices of materials and
help and have quietly passed away
for want of sufficient field and too
little revenue.
The state is today 100 to 200 pr
inters short of enough to carry on
the work of newspapers and print
ing industries. The only thing left
for many more papers is to suspend
publication and lock the doors.
The revolution in the industrial
world is striking everywhere and
every line, but the printing trades
have suffered more than any other
one branch of industry by the army
draft. The only result that can be
possible is survival of the fitte
st" and the boneyard take the him
dmost. The only way many papers
will survive will be that they are
necessities in their fields and that
their fields will support them
The only way their field can supp
ort them will be thus increased
rates for subscription and adver-
Using. Tive or three cents pei
inch for advertising space will otter
be enough to make up the differ
ence and the average newspaper
does not expect to make money dur
ing these war times-it seeks only
that means to live through the ord
cal and be ready to serve the com
munity when peace comes and brin
gs normal times again.
