I'VE are in the midst of time OF
unsettled international policies.
I'VE are in the midst of time in
which those who oppose labor are
seeking to utilize every agency Tor

I'VE are in the midst of trying
times Times that call for steadfast-
ness. solidarity and Intelligence.

IF we MISUSE our opportunities we

The Broad Exchange Company, owner
of the twenty one story Broad Ex-

Place, is the buyer of the two five
story buildings on Broad Street, ad-
joining the big office structure, which
we're reported sold yesterday in The

Broad Exchange Company, a subsid-
iary Of the Alliance Realty Company,
which has been one of the most active
buyers in that section of Broad Street
in the last twelve months.
The property just acquired by the
Alliance company, or the Broad Ex-

a fine office building when leases on
the realty expire, in 1928. The prop
erty has a frontage of 459 feet on
Broad Street and has an average depth
of 106 feet. The buildings on the prop
erty, leased on rentals of many years
ago, bring net yearly return of
about $4,000.

American efficiency, however. has

conditioning the huge liner on a basis
that would make her the finest vessel
IN the world could be begun tomorrow.
10 bring this about has cost hardly
quarter of the sum demanded by the
Germans, but tho saving Of money is
only an incident. The reproduction
OF the plans and specifications under
the conditions encountered is the
achlevemcnt of what German shipping
interests regarded as the impossible.
And down to the minutest detail every
step IN connection with the work has
been done by Americans.
Members of the technical staff of
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, under the leadership of w.
F.Vibbs, chief of the construction de-
partment of the company, have per-
formed the task.
When the Leviathan's use as troop
ship was ended and the vessel was
TUNED over to the Shipping Board
she was little more than q she'll. Her
interior fittings had been torn out to
carry as many soldiers as possible
and little or nothing was left of the
original cabin arrangements. The hard
usage she hal received during the war
had added to the general deterioration,
and, with all the original plans and
specifications in the hands of the Ger
mans, the task of reftting her for the
ocean passenger service was an ap-
railing one. 1t seemed manifest to the
shipping Board that the first step to
tske was to obtain the plans from the
builders of the vessel
When the Germans came back, how
ever, with demand for $1,00O000, the
board refused to be held up. Setting
aside the question of price, it was felt
that the German plans might be so
ialslted as to cause disaster to the
Levathan if they were followed out
The fact that all the measurements in
the German plans were on the metric
system meant that thousands of con-
versions would have to be made
There was also the point that much of
the material called for in connection
with the machinery and auxiliary parts
would not be available in the American
metal markets. Then, too, as all the
Specifications were in German, a great
amount of translation would have to
be done
When it came to finding Americans
to do the work Of preparing new plans
