SILENT BENEFACTORS
OF FRANCE

AS a farewell memory Of Touraine,
I bear with me the memory Of a 1T
tie two-wheeled cart that a dog was
drawing quietly along the embank-
ment Of the Loire. Occupied, like
Rabelais' lion, with his own little
private devotions, he trotted on his
way, listening to/the voice of his
young mistress, who. seated with
folded hands upright in the cart,
guided him by pleasant words.
He will run with me to Tours and
back" she said, and. hearing con-
versation, the dog stopped, drew IN
his tongue, and looked round at his
mistress with great anectton.
f She wore a clean white muslin cap
fitting closely to her little head. In
the evening sunlight she might have
been painted by any artist as an ldyli

tributaries to the Garonnes right

 Roy ArnOt, a bay pilot, saved the lives of seven men who made an un- successful attempt to reach the North ern Pacific in a small boat. When the frail crawl capsized, ArnOt, who was watching from the shore, knotted rope around his waist and plunged into the surf. On reaching the over turned boat, he made the rope fast and those on shore pulled it taut. Then Arnott assisted the seven men floundering in the water to reach the rope and they pulled themselves ashore, hand over hand.

FOUR SHIPS DELIVERED.
(By Review Leased Wire)

(By Review Leased Wire)
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Only four ships have been delivered by the three great government fabricated ship building plants, Charles Piez, di- rector general of the Emergency Fleet corporation, said today in testifying before the senate commerce commit tee. Difficulties in constructing the yards and in obtaining material were largely responsible for the delays, the witness said.
 Three of the ships have come from the Hog Island yard, Mir. Piez testi. fled, and the fourth from Submarine Boat corporation plant of Port New ark, N. J., mhich should have deliv- cred 124 vessels by last December 2.
 Makes No Deliveries
 The Merchant Shipbuilding corpora ton at Bristol, Pa, has not yet de- livered a ship. he said, although under its contract, A ships have been com pleted by December 2.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The first day of freedom from government price control since September, 1917, passed without establishing firm quotations in the copper market. There were rumors that one of the larger consuming in- terests had been offering cleo trolytic for forward shipment at S20, but no definite business was reported at that figure, and one of the prominent producing in- terests quoted the market for spot nominal at $23. Other quo tations were heard in the street ranging from about $21 to S22, but prices generally were charac- teriZed as nominal, with buyers and sellers both inclined to await developments and a more settled situation.

 supervision in private yards which are building battleships on the cost plus" basis.
 "The original estimates for the bat tleships Colorado, Maryland, Wash ington and West Virginia, on which construction has been started" Ad- miral Taylor said, was $11 ,50O OOO. It is doubtful if they can be completed for less than s15.550,00O."
 If there has been an increase of $50 .00O. .000 over the estimated cost of the 1916 three-year program, what will the increase be in the three-year program just recommended by Secre- tary Daniels" asked Representative Butler of Pennsylvania. The cost is estimated at S6O1,O0O,OOo, but the esti- mates for the individual ships are not much larger than for those made in the 1916 program. Surely they can not be made cheaper than those be- ing constructed now"
 Reductions Coming Soon.
 Admiral Taylor replied that there may be large reductions in the cost of construction before the program is started. The 1916 program will not be completed until 1923, he said, and the new program cannot be put into full swing before the present one is out of the way. Contracts for all ships authorized in the 1916 program have been let for battleships, F torpedo boat destroyers, g submarines and 3 auxiliary vessels, the witness said. Of all the vessels authorized in 1916 the battlecruisers will be com pleted last.
 Secretary Daniels. who preceded Admiral Taylor before the commit ttee, said electrically driven machin- cry will give future American battle ships and battle cruisers a superiority over the big fighting craft of he other navies of the world.
 Tests of the New Mexico, he de- clared. have demonstrated that such engines can be operated more econOmi- cally than any others and that a ship driven by them can run at top speed as long as the fuel lasts.
