CHAPTER II.

Smulskfs hall was q vast. barnlike
structure of one floor. Every inch of
floor, space was occupied by swelter-
log humanity, and when Fitzhugh rose
to make his address he faced an audi
ence of fully three thousand. He
walked to the edge Of the platform
and stood looking out over that silent
sea of upturned faces. with scarcely
an idea Of what he was to say. Yet
he felt a tingling thrill of pleasure
that for moment was as wine to his
senses. He knew what he could do,
and he exulted In his gift. Many times
before he had moved men with 1t, but
never SO large a gathering as this.
At the back of the platform, seated
among her comrades" Esther Strom
leaned forward In her chair. her lips
slightly parted. her dark eyes spar
king. From that moment until the
close of his address her gaze never
left hts face.
Fitzhugh charged into his address.
His voice, very low. at ,first, swelled
fuller and louder and clearer as he
spoke, until its resonant ring thun-
dered and echoed through, the man.

She hurriedly wrote something on a
slip of paper and handed 1t to him.

WASHINGTON, d. Cooperation of
American ships on former German
trade routes to all parts of the world
has the sanction and support of the
shipping board, Chairman Benson de-
clared in announcing cooperative
working agreements reached between
the American Ship and commerce
corporation of New York and Lhe
Hamburg-American line Of Germany
He declared that "the shipping board
would look forward to seeing one of
its constructive plans carried out"
There is no German money in the
American end of the business nor is
there any agreement for German in
vestment in any American companies"
he added.
The agreement is for 20 years and
consists, the chairman said, of a gen.
eral agreement covering the princi-
pies to be followed by the two con-
Germs and an operating agreement
covering methods. In general, it pro-
vides that each party may purchase
an equal amount of tonnage in such
passenger and freight services as
shall be established, which will in
clude those between the United States
and Germany, and Germany and ports
other than of the United States.
The American Ship and commerce
corporation is to act as agent for
the Hamburg-American line in the
United States and the German com.
panies as agent for the American
company in Germany. but each com.
pany may establish offices in the
country of the other to supervise &C.
