ENORMOUS PROFITS
 MADE BY SHIP OWNERS

Washlngton December 14-(SDecfal ] When, some months ago, Senator Under- wood expressed to a delegation of Mobile citizens the probability that it would prove profitable were Aiabamans to own ships and engage in foreign trading, he probably knew whereof he spoke For now it is official knowledge that ship owTSsrs who piled their trade during time of war made profits which can scarcely be imagined. While changed conditions would change the size of profits, a eood business, in peace times, is still certain. Senator Underwood and others think John Fl. Rosseter, former director of operations of the United tSates shipping board, tells the commerce committee of the Senate that one ship which operated under the board between San Francisco and Calcutta earned in one voyage of 110 days sum in excess of sS00,0 coo This netted the board, he said s75OOOo over compensation allowed to the owners of the vessel and other expenses
 Another vessel operated in connection with the Italian government, according to MT. Rosseter, earned in 90 days s5e7. : GOO. While these earnings Mir Ros- setter said, were exceptional as far as the board was concerned, vessels under private management excedeed even these returns"

 READY TO YIELD
Men Frequently Show Up in England Who Have A. W. o. L. Against

London December 14-(Reciprocal news Service.)-A civilian in poorly fitting clothes stalked into the office of the ad- jutant at American army headquarters in London and boldly acclaimed the fol- lowing:
 T surrender have been absent with out leave for seven months, visiting rel atives in Ireland My outfit must be all demobilzed by this time I-I---'' Here he began to falter T am sorry l didn't get on the ship with them I5ve had a pretty good tiNe. but I, you know, feel as if I'd been left behind,
 Every few days al''temporary deserter' turns up at headquarters. expalining that he had been visiting realtives in Eng land, Scotland CT Ireland, and just couldn't pull away in hurry. The num- Der yet at large, though comparatively few, is not known exactly. Some became A. w. o. L. in France and worked their way .tc England. or from England es- ca ped to FranceS Belgium and Germany.
 It is not the few desertbns that is worrying Headquarters here so much as several case sof fraud committed by Yanks who were not A. w. o. L., and are now back in the United States and denaobilized. Headquarters has received claims from poor iandladies with bills outstanding against Americans who had been given lodging money daily by the army. Worthless checks have beer passed. Goods have been bought and no' paid for.
 These claims are passed on to Washing ton and the war department tries to get in touch with the offender and inCucs him to pay. In order that the generally Sood impression made by Tanks in Grea'

STRONG OPPOSITION TO
 APPOINTEE AT ETHAN

Washington, December 14.-(Special) One of the hottest postoffice fights be fore Congress is that staged at Eutaw in Alabama. Postmaster ]. J. Dunlap's confirmation bends before the Senate While the chances are that he will be confirmed. his opponents are making every possible effort to prevent thai end
 This case is interesting to Alabam- lans. In the beginning, R, P Hobson then representing the Sixth district appointed Mir. Dunlap. The anti-Hob- son democrats opposed the confirma tion and the -Hobson democrats urged 1t. The scrap before the Senate was exceedingly peppery. but as is gen orally the case, the appointee carried the day.
 MT. Dunlap was reappointed by Rep resentative Oliver In the present case the appointee is opposed by the os5 Hobson crowd, which some time ago put him in office. and is supported b. those who most bitterly fought him notable among the latter being two ol6 war horses in Alabama politics.

CORDIAL RELATIONS

Washington, December .A.-kSpec% | The running debate between Louis Sci bold of the New York World and Carl W. Alderman, writing for syndicate of newspapers, in which many columns are daily consumed. as to whether or not there mas ben break between Presi/,nt Wilson and Colonel House. has caused many men of the east to remark with the cartoonist, "Oh, yes, but it doesn't [ mean anything
 Seibold proceeds to prove and Acksr- man, to disprove. each day that the break has occurred. The President says nothing and Colonel House says nothing, Secretary Annuity declares the exis- tence of most cordial relations between the two men.
 The dispute arose over the fact that Colonel House, since his return from Flu rope some weeks ago, has not called on the President. Inasmuch as Secretary Lansing, even when handling the delicate Mexican situation, failed to intervAw the President, the consideration of Colone House, in many minds is not regarded as out of the ordinary.
