Navy is Selling Old
Vessels at Auction
Vessels tht Have Been in Service for
Thirty Years Are Being Sold to
Highest Bidder.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 27-Coinci
dent with the delivery from the Hog
Island shipyard of three of the eleven
army transports comes the announce
ment from the army transport service
of the proposed sale of the ola time
transports, Meade, Crook, Fitzpatrick
and Warren vessels which have serv
ed the Navy with excellent records for
thirty years or more. Bids are being
received for their sale.
The Hog Island News, the official
organ of the Hog Island shipyard, says:
while no official announcement has
been made it is understood the trans
ports being built for the Government
by the American international Ship
building Corporation will replace the
craft offered for sale, and also several
others that have been operating in the
Pacific and Atlantic transport service.
Of the four ships to be sold the
Meade, built at Greenock, Scotland, is
best known from its work during the
Spanish-American war. This ship,
while not doing army duty during the
later war, served as a training vessel
for the Shipping Board, and is now
berthed here. The Meade, forty-five
years ago, was one Of the crack British
passenger ships, sailing the Atlantic
under the name Of City Of Berlin.
The Crook, Fitzpatrick and Warren
each made notable records in the an
nails Of the transport service, the for
mer being built in 1882, the Fitzpatrick
in 1890 and the Warren in 1889.

First National First
to Pay the City Tax
President Charles C. Brown Hands in
Check for $4,000 on Monday
Afternoon.

The First National Bank of Kenosha
was the first tax payer of the city to
pay the 1920 taxes. Within half an
hour after the city treasurer had re-
ceived the warrant from the city clerk,
Charles C. Brown came up to the win
dow of the treasurer with a check for
SGT, 900 as the taxes on the stock of
the First National. It was an excel
lent start for the collections but it
did not have the effect of bringing in
others as the one check was the only
one received on Monday. Today the
line had formed at the Office of the
county treasurer and while most of
the people were simply seeking to find
out how much their taxes were, few
of them paid in cash. The returns
from the morning were not great
enough to cause any great rejoicing
among the city officials.

PrOfiteers in Holland
a Blow to Commerce

Rotterdam-The high prices charged
in Holland and some other European
countries for American automobiles
and othe accommodates are, in the
opinion of American authorities here,
exerting a very bad effect on the
foreign export of the United States.
II is understood that Consul General
United States for, perhaps, $4,000, are
shipped to Holland at freight cost
hardly ever exceeding $500 and then
are sold here for the equivalent Of
about $1,000, even when the low value
of the Dutch exchange is considered.
The import duty is only five per cent.
Anderson has made the matter the
subject of an official report to the
state department.
Automobiles selling at retail in the
This exacting of profits, officials say,
IS certain to work against sales Of
American automobiles in the future.
The same holds true with American
canned goods, tobacco, etc. A tin of
American canned corn, retailed for
about twenty cents in the United
States, is sold in Holland at the gulder
equivalent of fifty cents.
Various food products from the
United States now appear in great
quantities on the shelves of merchants
At The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam, but the prices are almost al
ways so high that only the very
wealthy can buy them.

Merchant Marine
Has Lots of Oil
Many Advantages Seen as 1t Takes
Place of Coal as a Great
Ship Fuel
BY Milton Bronner, European Manag-


BY Milton Bronner, European Manag-
er, N. e. A.
London-Uncle Sam produces about
three-ffths of the worlds present sup
ply Of petroleum, but when ships, fly
ing Uncle Sans flag, come into the
ports of the world to get supply of
bunker oil, they are as apt to find this
business in control of Briton as an
American.
Only recently it was announced in
the British press that a great company
was being formed whose purpose it
would be to establish fuel oil stations
for merchant ships all over the world.
The object, of course, to help British
shipping just as in the past British
control of coaling facilities all over
the world has helped the British mer-
camille marine.
Replacing Coal
Oil is rapidly taking the place of
coal as ship fuel. In the Pacific
ocean oil has already come into gem
eraI use, and it is making immense
strides on the Atlantic where many
vessels are being fitted up as oil burn
ers.
The advantages are numerous:
Oil requires less bunker space than
coal.
1t can be carried between double
bottoms and in other places where
neither cargo nor coal can be stored.
Oil-bunkering can be quickly done
and weather and darkness do not in
terfere.
It is. a cleaner fuel and there are no
ashes, so that much labor and ma
chinery are cut out.
Oil as fuel also cuts out the neces-
sity of the stokers employed where
coal is burned.
The bulk of the worlds crude oil,
used as ship fuel, comes from Cali
fornia, Mexico and Peru. 1t is con-
trolled on the markets of the world
principally by the American Standard
Oil group and by the Royal Dutch
She'll group, which is British and
Dutch.
More Wide-Awake
A survey of the oil-bunkering facili-
ties of the world shows that American
concerns are far more widespread and
active than they are in the business
Of coal bunkering. Here is a rapid
bird'B-eye view Of the situation:
Canadian ports-Supplied by Brit
is hand American firms.
Hawaiian Islands-Al American, in
contrast with the coal business, which
is in the hands Of the British.
Mexico-American and British.
West Indies-American and British.
Brazil and Argentine-American and
British.
Chile and Peru-Almost entirely
American.
Mainly American.
Great Britain-British and Ameri-
can.
Spain-American and British.
Italy-Mainly American, but some
Italian.
Africa-American British, Belgian
and French.
Eost Indies-British.

Entertainments Held To-
day Mark Opening of
Holiday Vacations.
PRESENTS FOR POOR

The schools Of Kenosha closed for
the Christmas holidays today AMI
special Christmas entertainments were
held in all of the buildings this after
noon with special Christmas programs.
In many Of the graded schools Christ
mas trees were arranged to delight
the children and there were happy lit
tie exchanges of gifts as memories of
the season.
The most interesting feature of the
Christmas for the children was the
contribution to the fund for a present
for Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, the strick-
en- superintendent Of schools. Nearly
every child in the city schools has
contributed something to the fund
and the present will be sent to Mrs.
Bradford on Saturday.
Mrs. N. Mackenzie, Miss Marie
Heating and Louis Rahr will present
Mrs. Bradford with $67.24, the amount
contributed by the children.
With the closing Of the schools,
many of the teachers left Kenosha this
afternoon for other cities to spend the
vacation period but it is expected that
all Of the members of the teaching
force will return to Kenosha for the
reopening of the schools on the first
of January. During the holiday vaca-
tion the school buildings will all be
renovated.
At several Of the schools the chill
dren brought provisions which are to
be placed in baskets and carried to
the homes of poor people of the city to
aid in making the annual holiday
brighter and happier for these people.
Toys were also distributed in a num-
Der of the schools.

BRITISH MILITARY
RAID AARON ISLES
Kill Two Sim Feiners and Wound
Three More in Successful Raid
on Islands in Dublin Bay.

Dublin-Military forces raided Aaron
Islands today in search for Sim
Feiners believed to be in hiding there.
In the series Of clashes two fugitives
were killed and three wounded while
several were captured. The raid was
planned on large scale. The military
in small boats put out from the main
land and completely surrounded the
islands which are of an extremely
broken character. The first boat load
of soldiers were treated to rifle fire
which warned the rest of the fugitives
in hiding that their place Of hiding
was being raided. The alarm spread
throughout the entire islands but while
a systematic starch was made, on ac-
count of the broken land on the island.
it is feared that several escaped. An
armed force of the British is being
maintained on the island to put up
any straggelrs.

EX-GOBS SCORE
LOCAL TRIUMPH
American Legion Presents
Great Lakes String
Quartet at Elks Club.
IT IS WAR PRODUCT

The most, notable number in the
Redpath Lyceum course which is be-
ing presented in Kenosha under the
auspices of The American Legion was
given at the Elks' club Tuesday even
ing when the Great Lakes String Quar-
tette gave program of chamber music
and lighter classical numbers.
The Great Lakes String Quartette
has had varied and successful career.
1t was first organized when the four
men, Herman Felber; Carl Fasshauer,
Robert Dolejsi and John Lingeman,
stationed at the Great Lakes, met at
the main station. Each has had much
experience with famous orchestras.
One of the men is from Vienna, an
other is from the Philadelphia Symp-
hony orchestra, third from Cleve-
land and fourth from the Chicago
Symphony orchestra. In addition each
is master violinist. The sailor quar-.
tette soon became prominent in the
station. In September Of 1918, they
were sent on tour with the Navy
Relief society, with which they trav-
eled until February of 1919. Then they
received hurry call to report back
to the station to prepare to accom-
pany President Wilson on the George
Washington. Upon their release from
service they continued the wartime
association and are now making their
second transcontinental tour. The
quartette has been acclaimed in every
city where it has appeared and Keno
shans indicated their interest in things
worthwhile by the enthusiastic re-
ception accorded the quartette last
evening.
Program Well Balanced.
The main program was composed en-
tirely of the chamber music, centering
about the second division Beethoven's
Quartet Op. 49," All the intricacies
of composition of this "Micahel Angelo
of Music" were beautifully interpreted.
There was perfection of ensemble
harmony, exquisite coloring, an uncom-
monty soft and pure tone, which rose
at times to a brilliant incisiveness.
All the tonal expression is interpreted
without piano accompaniment, usually
so important. It was only in the one
