PRESIDENT HOLDS
Up SHIPBUILDING

President Wilson is Withholding from
foreign nations the privilege Of contract
ing for the construction OF steel ships in
American yards until an agreement is
reached at the peace conference that
win write the American Interpretation
OF freedom of the seas into the peace
treaty.
Senator Fletcher chairman Of the Sen
ale Commerce Committee. offered this
explanation today of the rSspsal of the
shipping Board to permis euildins Of
steel ships for foreign account, in spite
Of the fact that many American yards
and thousands OF their employees are
idle for lack Of contracts.
Persistent inquiries by shipysTd Off
ciaIs and even a Senate resolution ask
ing for information, have failed to Sc
cure an adequate explanation from the
shipping Board Of its presnt policy.
The Shipping Board has, however. taken
on restrictions on building steel ships
for domestic account.
But our own people are holding back"
Senator Fletcher said. They are miss
ing an opportunity the like Of which
there has never been before, and, if they
never will be again"
Subsidies Unnecessary.
Senator Fletcher charged that there
is at present a widespread propaganda
for Government subsidies Of American
shipping, and also for repeal for the sea
mems act. Subsidies, he said, are en-
tirely unnecessary-an will not be
granted by Congress. American vessels
can be operated just as cheaply, and far
more efficiently under the seamen's act,
he added. as those Of any other power.
AS soon as the present unsettled con-
ditions have passed" Senator Fletcher
said. 'it viii be found that the United
States can turn out ships Just as cheaply
as any other nation
Government May step In.
II Americans continue holding back
in the hope OF getting a subsidy, Sem
stor Fletcher predicted that the Govern
ment would be compelled to adopt pol
icy OF Government ownership Of all
American shipping. to take advantage
OF the facilities that have been developed
during the war
Fletcher described the cutting Of Brit
ish shipping rates by SIS 2-3 per cent as
the beginning Of the trade war" He
aid not think. however, that there was
any cause for lamenting the fact that the
Shipping Board has been compelled to
order, a similar cut in American rates
IN order TO compete with the British.
1T means the re-opening of commerce."
he said. 1T ushers in the new era for
which we all have been waiting. The
cut does not bring the rates down as
low as they were before the war. It

BAN LIKE
PROTECTIVE TARIFF

Government officials here today
compared the British import restric-
tions on American manufactured
goods after March 1 to "a high pro-
tective tariff" The restrictions,
which include a great variety of
American manufactured goods, have
been announced by the War Trade
Board and include tools. machinery.
shoes. and many manufactured goods
except under special license.
''The situation is pretty much like
the establishment by England OF a
high protective tariff" said one Gov
eminent official who aad been follow
ing the situation.
Britain's Situation.
Great Britain's manufacturing
plants were practically all scrapped
TO permit the manufacture of muni-
tions, and she must have time now
to return to a prewar basis. She
must have this opportunity to take
care Of her labor situation, which Is
growing more and more acute. and
TO be in position TO make good the
financial obligations to this country.
With her plants not yet rebuilt for
peace time work, she could be flooded
with manufactured goods il she did
not take some restrictive steps"
in this connection, it was pointed
out that "a state OF equilibrium" is
what British industries are attempt
ing TO attain. and when that is at
tanned it is understood the restric-
tions viii be removed.
So far As can be learned. 40 state
Department TepTesentations have
been made on the subject, although
the War Trade Board has received
protests from shippers and manufac-
turers objecting TO the arrangement.
Recalls Rate Cut.
Ia this connection is recalled the
recent cut in rates or GG25 per cent
by the United States Shipping Board
TO meet new rates Of British shipping
interests. IL is known that Com
mander Charles Belknap, L. s. v. di-
rector Of the Naval Overseas Trans
pOTtation Service, has left for Paris,
and il is understood that he plans d
conference with Edward " Hurley
chairman OF the Shipping Board, on
the question OF shipping and rates.

MIDGET FOE PRINCE
SEEKS CITIZENSHIP

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Jan. at-It
is probably a healthy thing for Ger
many that Ludwig Meiss is only three
feet eight inches high, because Lud-
wig is a powerful bad actor when his
fur is strOked the wrong way. There
was general hubbub recently in the
Federal Building when Ludwig wan
dered in and demanded to be shown
to the naturalization bureau. Arrived
there he announced in bold tones,
while he gripped a mans size cigar
with both hands, that he wanted to
become an American citizen.
Then it developed that Ludwig, or
prince" Ludwig, as he is known
in professional life, is a native Of
Germany, coming from a place called
Meiningen. Lest there might be any
doubts about him, he proceeded to
enumerate the facts that he had come
to this country February s. 1913, to
escape military service. although he
admitted that he was not afraid of
being assigned to the Prussian Guard.
BY that time the clerk in the natu-
ralizatiOn bureau was aware that a
voice was coming from in front OF
the counter and began to look around
for the owner. An attendant came
to the rescue and lifted Ludwig up
on etOol. where he stood in a belli-
cose attitude, his head and shoulders
just showing above the counter, and
continued his harangue against Ger
many and all things Germany, even
going so far as to assert that he
thought it was a shame the marine
corps had rejected him. The clerk
condoIed him with the assurance. that
the Government probably didn't pro-
vide shoes large enough to ht him
and couldn't accept him for that rea-
son. Ludwig weighs fiftyfve pounds
and is twenty-seven years old.
He will receive his naturaIiza ton
papers.

PiNkY'S POLiTENESS.

Pinky was feeling quite warm In the
sunshine, as it was really the first
| warm day OF the season. And the
| first warm day of the season always
seems very, very warm as we all
know. Pinky and Clover were two
aice rabbits.
Now Glover had a special place to
| lie in when the sun was hot and that
special place was at the side OF her
little home where there was some
shade.
She used to lie there stretched out
Her eyes would gradually close and
many nap would she take there.
Pinky had gotten up to look at
something which he thought he could
see If he jumped to the top of his
home, and then Clover had followed
him, for she wanted TO see whatever
he could see.
Clover decided that the top of the
house would be q nice place for her
to rest. though she first tried the top
Of another smaller house which they
had, too, and which their little master
had built for them.
So Clover stayed on top. but It was
too warm here for Pinky. He jumped
down and went In the corner where
Clover always stayed.
He had fine little nap there and
soon after he had jumped down he
was dreaming of castles made Of car
rots and turrets and towers made OF
lettuce and of great courtyards with
clover growing everywhere.
The dreams he had were really ex-
tremely nice, extremely. But after
awhile Glover was too warm on top
Of the house and she decided to come
down. So she jumped down and was
about to lie down next to Pinky when
Pinky jumped up from his place, quite
wide awake,

There has been considerable talk OF
che corsetless figure and much more
drawing Of 1t. When artists picture
morning frocks or afternoon gowns,
and even suits, they hang them on
graceful but emaciated figures calcu-
lated to make us envy our adorably
thin sisters and to remind us Of the
question put by that naive japanese
lady who asked, "Where do they put
their stomachs?" Judging by few late
photographs she would not be impelled
to ask that question now. But the
seasons styles are kind to the natural
lines of the figure and just why fashion
artists continue to draw inhuman crea-
lures is a mystery not solved. Any
way, they inspire indolent ladies to
train down and to diet and do sundry
other things in the pursuit Of slender
ness.
"Corsetless" is not to be taken too
literally-lt really means a figure that
looks uncorseted, with lines like those
