SOUTH BOSTON, VA, FIRE
CAUSES $4,000 DAMAGE
Whole City Imperiled by Flames
That Destroy Hardware Com
pany's Plant.

SOUTH BOSTON, Va, Dec. "a
Damage estimated at $4,000 resulted
today from fire OF unknown origin
which destroyed BarbourWilborn
Hardware Company's plant. The fre
started at o'clock and in half an
10. he building was wreathed in
6Ames, which imperiled the entire
business district.
That the fire was checked was made
possible by the fact that a motor en-
Eine sent here for demonstrating pur-
poses was pressed into service. The
machine gave considerable aid in
keeping the flames away from adioin-
ing buildings.
Two fremen were hurt slightly.

PROPOSELAT|N-U.S.
MERCHANT MARINE
Proposition to Hold Wartime
Trade Acquisitions Under
Consideration.

A Pan-American merchant marine
Or the purpose of holding this coun-
try's wartime-acquired South Ameri-
can trade and to further stimulate 1t
n being considered by American and
latin-American government officials,
81 was learned here today.
The plan. which so far has only
reached the conversational stage,
provides for establishment of a pas
senger. mail. and freight service be-
tween the United States and princi-
pal Latin-American ports
Seven former German steamers,
which have been allocated by the
Shipping Board to maintain such a
service between New York and
Buenos Aires, would be absorbed and
enough more ships added to make the
total number in service about twenty.
ssppsrted ysintiy.
The project. 1t is stated, would be
supported jointly by the United
States and twenty~one Iatin-Ameri-
can republics, which are sending del
egations to the Pan-American finan-
cial conference, scheduled to open
here January IL. The project Is ex-
pected to be proposed at the confer
ence
An outlay OF more than sec, 900 .Ooo
would be required to set up such q
merchant marine, according to most
conservative estimates. Each coun.
try would contribute according to its
needs The United States, Brazil and
Argentine would be the heaviest sup
porters OF the project.
In addition to the original invest
ment of $50 900, 900, the scheme would
be subsidized by Pan-American gov
ernments, to make up the loss, which
would result in operating the boats
under United States laws.
weuId he Handicap.
These laws. which give seamen. a
higher wage and provide adequate
living and sleeping accommodations.
would place the proposed merchant
marine under a handicap in compct-
ing with British, French, German and
Spanish lines. which are not compelled
to pay such high wages and provide
as adequate quarters.
The scheme, IL Is believed. will
meet with the approval of Brazilians
and Argentinians, who Lave been
desirious of having United States con-
tinue in the shipping business. But
such continuation, IL is declared,
would mean a heavy loss, which the
american people would have to pay.
II Is proposed to have the sug-
Essted merchant marine supplant the
shipping Board, the existence oc
which Is only temporary, until the
senate ratihes the peace treaty. Ship
ping Board plans provide for the dis
pcsal OF it's ships, Chairman Payne
declared recently, just as soon as
suitable prices are offered.
