OFFICERS TESTIFY THAT WE|SGERBER'S
 LOYALTY WAS HIGH
IRepuhIlcan A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, March 27-Three army officers were called as witnesses for the defense today in. the courtmar- tial of Captain Edwin C.Weisgerber, gas and chemical engineer of Pittsburg, charged with criminal offenses involv- ing alleged disloyalty to the United States and sympathy with Germany. They testified that Weisgerber had been of invaluable assistance to the government in furnishing chemicals to war branches of the army and navy, and that they had never observed any unpatriotic action on his part.
 Captains C. L. Harrod and Charles H. Ruth, connected with the photo graphic section of the army, each de- clared that Weisgerber had made and furnished to their department chem icals which they were unable to obtain anywhere else. Harrod declared that his department was unable to obtain ''metol," chemical used in the develop ing process in photography, the manu- facture of which was largely confined to Germany before the war, and that Weisgerber was given a one-ounce sample of the material and returned four or five days later with one pound.
 Was Very Patriotic
 Major Oliver B. Zimmerman who was Weisgerber's superior officer in the en- gineering corps, described the defen- dants as distinctly capable" and his work as completely satisfactory"
 T would be remiss in my duty" he said, If I should say Captain Weis- gerber was other than patriotic"
 The witness declared that the fuel administration had adopted a hostile attitude toward Weisgerber and his so- called Liberty fuels" Major Zimmer- man testified that Weisgerber had ap- piled for and received 13 patents for his | inventions and discoveries while under his command, and that he had submit ted these to the government free of all royalties, for army and navy use. | Charles D. Stutz and John H. Herr, both former automobile racers, testi- fled that they had used picric acid in gasoline during races to increase it's | power, and that they had never ob- served any deleterious effects on the automobile engines. The government had contended that sample of fuel | furnished to the British war mission was saturated solution of gasoline and picric acid, and that the acid was dangerous and destructive.

PARIS, March 27.-(By The As sociated Press)-Copies of wire less messages sent by George Tchitcherin, the Russian bolhev- iki foreign minister, to various leaders in Hungary, show his in dignation that the world refuses to accept the Hungarian revolu- ton as genuine and discredits its boIsheviki character.

 "Have you good news from oth- CT countries? If not, do not fail to get wireless messages sent from Paris to the United States by the American correspondents, who are sending excellent criticisms of the French policy and the peace con ference proceedings"

WOULD SELL SHIPS TOOPERATORS THAT
 THEY MAY COMPETE

/ NEW YORK, March 27.-Private ownership of the great merchant ma rine which has been built by America under the stimulus of war, with such governmental regulation as would pre- vent watered stock and assure the use of the vessels on trade routes promot- ing the general welfare of the nation, was put forward here tonight by Chair man Hurley of the shipping board, as his plan for the peacetime operation of the government built fleet. He was speaking before the National Marine league.
 Enunciating the most important re- construction decision so far reached by any government department, MT. Hur- ley said he would have the govern ment sell the new ships at market pric- es, so the operators could compete with foreign tonnage, and would have the bottoms insured jointly by the govern ment and American companies, until the latter developed sufficiently to car ry alone the enormous risk on more than one billion dollars worth of prop erty.
 No alien would be permitted to own any stock in any American vessel, and the transfer of vessels to foreign flags would be permitted only by express con- sent of the government.
 American ships for American trade is the central thought of the plan, which will be submitted to congress as a basis for legislation.
 Want No Profiteering
 We want the initiative and skill ot American ship operators, but We want no watered stock" said MT. Hurley We want to avoid the stagnation that sometimes comes from red tape an6 bureaucracy, but we want no profiteer- ing or exploitation
 Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves, com manding the cruiser and transport fleet another speaker, said he was impressed i by the possibility of establishing a common plane upon which the navy and the merchant marine can work"
 Asserting that for the time being at least' the merchant marine should not be placed exclusively under eithe, the government or private control" Ad- miral Gleaves urged that "in framing policy we watch closely the methoe of foreign governments"
 Tt is manifest that our shipping in- dustry must be backed by our govern. ment and that our navigation law: must be changed to the extent neces. sary to assure competition with for. eign shipping on a basis of parity" h, said.
 We must adopt a point of view tha a large and sufficient merchant marin, is an absolute necessity for our na tlonal prosperity, and possibly for ou national existence"

If I had created men and women, I

apes as they do, but on the models Of
insects which, after a life a caterpil-
lars, change into butterflies, and for
the brief final term of their existence
have no thought but to love and be
lovely. l should have set youth at the

In loving memory of my daughter, Grace Taylor, who passed
away one year ago, October "a, 1918.
Though your voice is ever silent and your true heart ceased to beat,
Yet I miss the well known footsteps of my girl l loved to greet;
Like ivy on the wfthered oak when all things also decay,
My love for you will still keep greenland never fade away.
There is a link death cannot sever,
Love and remembrance lost forever;
The years may wipe out many things,
But this will wipe out never.
The memories of those happy days,
When we were both together,
One lonely year has passed away
Since my great sorrow fell,
Yet in my heart mourn the loss
OF one loved so well.
