Speaks Of Marine Interests

Mr.. Moore said there were many mat
ters vital to Philadelphia ana Pennsyl-
Vania that would bear close watching in
the next Congress. Ship construction
was one of these. The shipbuidinE pro-
gram UP to- date had not been wholly
satisfactory, he said and many changes
would have to he made before an Amer
lean merchant marine would be assured
Delaware River improvements are Sc
cure. having been taken care of in the
river and harbor bill. but there must
be careful scrutiny of such projects as
Hog Island and other government ship
yards, lest the work be abandoned or
transferred.
I'VE are building up the navy yard :"
m said. but | am informed that plans
have been submitted for transferring
much of the work now done at the
Fl iankfOrd Arsenal to other points,.
Mr.. Moore then spoke of the thesa-
peake and Delaware Canal lie said
that Mr.. Salisbury. recently Senator
from Delaware. now is pressing the
Federal authorities for the transfer of
the canal to federal operation.
The United States army engineers
are now waiting to take hold of the
property. lie said, "and General TAYLOR.
assistant TO the chief Of engineers, told
me yesterday that possession would be
taken and improvements commenced
the minute the legal transfer was accom-
plished"
On the tariff subject. Mr. Moore said:
1T is more than probable that the

before the extra session begins to pave
the way for new tariff bill that will
afford reasonable protection to American
manufacturers and producers. It will

Representative J. Hampton Moore.
just returned from Washington, today
criticized the administration for eXtrav-
agance and intimated that the next
Congress would do considerable investi-
eating Of expenditures which Republi-
can members had to vote for without
knowing why they were made.
He took a fling at President Wilson
for failure TO consult the Senate more
in the matter OF the league of nations,
but he noted that the league Of nations
fight is ono between the President and
the Senate, in which the House has
comparatively little interest.
Mr.. Moore, in his assault on the eX-
penditures of tho Administration, said
the government appeared to think more
of the well-bcing of the rest of the
world than of that of the people of
the United States
Commenting on the tariff Issue. he
said the Underwood tariff must he

Concerning the league of nations, Mr.

Memorial Service Sunday Was For
 Oscar Swanson.

North Grosvenor-Da Memorial services were held at the Swedish Lutheran church, Sunday, in honor of Private Oscar Swanson, son of Mir and Mrs. Algot Swanson, who was killed in battle on September 26.
 A telegram was received in the first mart of November which stated that he was missing and few weeks later word was received from Washington that he was killed in action. This was followed by a letter from the Red Cross saving that he was buried on hill in sunny France on October l, 1918.
 The church services began at three o'clock and the altar was decorated in black and white with the American flag draped at both ends. Above the altar hung the service flag which now contains seventeen stars. The gold star was put on by Private Don John son and Rudolph Swanson, a sailor, assisted by Edith Swanson and Esther Forsberg.
 Rev. Mir. Lindevalle gave sermon in Swedish and a short address in English. Both Swedish and English hymns were sung by the choir and the congregation. Rev Mir. Wood, pastor of the Methodist church of North Grosvenor-Dale. gave a short address in which he stated that he thought a tree should be planted in honor of Os. car Swanson so that his memory would grow as the years go by The large attendance showed that Oscar had many friends who will miss bs-, .<.oft L:- e Ls~. l..~+h~ h~.
