AHMEn the war broke out in Europe
large numbers of foreign ships We're
withdrawn from the American trade
and used for belligerent purposes; som-
petition was diminished and ocean
freight rates advanced-to the enor-
nous disadvantage of American pro-
ducers. &c was then that the United
states began to take thought to or
ganizing its own carrying system to
make it independent once more of for
eign shipping 1t was then that the
shipping board was created for the
purpose of establishing a permanent
American merchant marine. Now that
the war is over we must not go back
to a condition of dependence.
An expanded foreign trade is essen
tial If the American people are to main

living and to retain even approximate

tional finance. Our annual surplus of

Falkenstein, Saxony, March 2S.-
Workers have taken over control in
towns and cities of lower SaXony, but
there is an impression their ascend
ancy will be short lived, as they are
not sufficiently organized in mill
tary way to resist pressure success
fully It is noticeable that nearer to
districts where government troops are
in power the weaker is the workers
hold on affairs.
The principal task of the workers
is policing the town. Preparations are
being made by the workmen's league
for election of town officials. A guard
numbering several hundred men has
been recruited from trade union and
revolutionary elements, and men have
been placed in banks to prevent the
withdrawal OF money by wealthy de-
positors.
One hundred workers under the di-
rection of Hoe1z entered Plauen in
motor lorries Sunday night, kidnapped
City Attorney Hubert and held him
as a hostage until he had given up
data he had gathered for the prosecu-
ton of trade unionists and commun-
lists accused Of political agitation. Herr
Huberts wifi. came to Falkenstein and
secured the release of her husband af-
ter he had been a prisoner for five
hours.
Hoelz has established headquarters
in the castR of Freiherr Falkenstein,
who has flel from this region. The red
flag waves from the tower. 1t was
in room of this castle that the As
sociated Hress correspondent inter
viewed Hoelz tonight. He is a small,
young Appearing man, with thin
face and sparse hair, but with glowing
brown eyes. He talked freely, saying
in part:
The tine is not ripe for establish
ment of a soviet form of government.
The agrictlturists would not approve
of it and We would be quickly starved
out. We ecognize the absolute help
lessness Il the workers in case OF
armed cofIict and we would not at
tempt TO physically resist military oc-
cupation Of F'alkenstein. If the troops
appear We will again call a general

that it had been sometime since the motor had been started to see if it was operating as it should.
 These statements gave rise to a lot of criticism for the fire department in not starting up the engine every few days to make sure it was in good working order
 Asked concerning the matter, A. F. Woodward chief of the department sai Whoever made sucA q statement does not know what he is talking about It is the duty of one Of the drivers to start up that engine and run it for & while every few days. I happen to know that he follows his instructions implicitly and that only few days ago he found every thing in good working order
 Now that fire truck is like any other motor vehicle. It will refuse to work sometimes like the best machine every built. Cars will roll along fine for miles and miles and tben of 8 sudden stop.
 The trouble with the engine on tine fire truck was located and it is now in per feet running order. It will be kept so in so far as human effort is possible. so no one has any cause to worry. hope the next time those uninforned will hold their tongues until they know the facts.
