Chairman Payne. Of the Shipping Board, said in a
letter to the Senate yesterday that condition of the sale
Of the German ships will be that they shall fly the American
flag.
What is the precise value Of such guarantee given by
company which in its eighteen years Of existence has
always been controlled by British board Of directors with
British chairman required by the bylaws of the com
pany) with British officers for nneenhs Of its ships
requred by contract with the British admiralty with
British crews (spulated in the conrac and six Of
whose ships taken by the British Government
part of the royal naval at the outbreak of the
late war?
On which side of the Atlantic do you think
these great ships would be if the British chair
man of the company was advised by his gov
ernment that there was a possibility of trouble
with the United States?
Chairman Payne also stated in Washington yesterday
only other for selling the superb German ships
Government woud probably not be able to operate
passenger ships under prohibition successfully in com
petition with foreign ships which sell liquor
If 100000 Americans by choice live and prosper
under prohibition, think American merchant marine
can survive under prohibition We do not believe that the
morals and habits of the American people different
the sea than on the land.
If it is necessary sell American ships, to operate
them under the British hag for the sake of profits of the
barroom why put two of States under the
British flag also for the profits of the liquor traffic?
The Anglo Street syndicate has already received
great and not always deserved favors from Govern
As inducement to it to operate four rstclass
vessels with weekly saings from New York under the
American fag our Government made contract to pay
$500 900 year for carrying the mails.
Its four American ships the st. Paul the St. Louis the
New York. and the Philadelphia from twenty to
thrtyve years DID, They long ceased to be rstclass
steamships The mails for many years have been nrusted
faster and better ships everyone knows But the
Government continues pay the Anglo Wall Street syndi
100000 year That five contract renewed in
1915 by Postmaster Bureson, expires next October.
It is obviously the duty of Government to retain
The ships of the superb German feet and operate them
either by an ALL AMERICAN company, by our own
naval officers and that did well with them during
the war.
Mr. Hurley the former chairman of the Shipping Board
arranged six months regular sngs for of these
ships between New York and South American ports which
would give fast service that part of the world in which
our has become in the past four years
It seems be Chairman Paynes intention to abandon
this program British shipping companies when he turns
the German feet to the Wall Street syndicate
now operating under the British flag
No sulen threat misrepresentation by Red
Socialists Anarchists about the secret power OF cptc
syndicates Government half shocking to
the moral sentiment of the nation this sacrifice Of the
PUBLIC PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES will be
if President Wilson allows it to 60 through.

marriage with such a boy, since
you are both so young, neither

self-control. Why not make him
understand that you will only see
him when he controls his temper

fusing to let him call. He may
conquer this trait as he grows old

such men would certainly bid you
pause and consider.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am n young man twenty-one
years of age. I have been calling
on a girl that l met at the office,
and have grown very fond of her
mother. who is very charming
widow. AS the mother Is far the
better companion of the two, want
your advice as to which l should
choose as my companion.

and what this older woman will
then be. Don't overlook the fact,
however, that your overtures to
this older woman might only ex-
cite her mirth. She may merely
be acting graciously toward her

ribly amused to find you with as

THE MISERABLE WHELPS
WHO INSULT WOMEN.

Controversy having arisen over
where the blame lies when men flirt
with and pick up girls for auto
rides which frequently terminate in
insult to the girls, "A Youthful War
Worker" contributes a well-written
article on the Willie boys" and
mashers who infest + street, Ninth
street, and other streets of the city
and molest well-behaved girls and
women who never give them the
slightest cause for this treatment.
This young lady calls attention to
species Of low mankind which can
be cured of molesting respectable
women if a dozen or so strong-fisted,
clean Washington men will enter an
agreement to watch for and beat
up" good and hard some of these
chaps caught cold in their attempts
to press their attentions where they
are not wanted. The community will
uphold such a body Of men.
This young woman writes:
who is going to make the world
safe for our manhood and womanhoodf
There are common men and women
who walk r street and other streets,
but their number is few compared to
population. But what about the girls
who must go out in the evening with
out escort and can scarcely walk on
any Of the principal streets without
h"ing subjected to freshness or rude
from the opposite sexT The claim
tt mo ,I man s,x. viii IT., pick up woman %Issn
cut foundation: l am a rood-look-
ing girl. but this Is a misfortune for
me when l go out alone in the even
ing / do not nirt with or pay any
attention to men, yet ! must often
be subjected to some uncslled FOR re-
mark from idle men.
Boys and men who stand on street
corners spotting the girls who pass,
making teertnE remarks to attract
them, should remember that they have
mothers, sisters, sweethcarts they
would not wish to be insulted In that
manner. Boys, do not, ridicule girls,
but respect them as you would your
own mothers.
And mothers, teach your girls from
infancy up the sacredness of marriage,
true love, and self-respsct"

Moral Sentiment of Nation Will Revolt if
the Ship Deal is Sanctioned by Mr.. Wilson

Osn any public servant or politician In Washington or
any intelligent citizen anywhere be In doubt what the moral
and patriotic sentiment Of the people everywhere VIII be
about proposed German ship deal? The facts are
Fiut-The thirty German ships constitute the finest
neet In the world They belong to the United States
Government They are worth very least hundred
million dollars
second The United States Shipping Board proposes to
sell them to Anglo Wall Street syndicate for
Thrd-The Anglo Wall Street syndicates own feet is
far inferior the German fleet but 1t Is capitalized at
$154, ,6OO, 900.
Fourth-The Anglo Wall Street syndicate called the
International Mercantile Marine specuates in ships oper
under the British flag and has British chairman Tor
its board This syndicate made much as one hundred
million dollars profit out of the in single year Most
this profit paid to the British treasury as excess
profits because enths of the syndcates ships sail
under British registry.
Ffth-The International Mercantile Marine syndicate
organized by J. p Morgan Co. Its contract and laws
require that its ships shall have British officers British
crews and shall belong the royal navy Of Great
Britain
sixth-John Barton Payne is the head of the
United States Shipping Board which proposes to sell the
German for about third of its value to the synd
cate Mr. Payne general counsel for about thirty
railroad and other corporations in which j. Morgan
Co. are interested.
The net profits of the Anglo Wall Street syndicate from
the British fleet operates have averaged after paying
British taxes in the past five years more than $2OOO
600 year. They have been as high after war taxes as
$685. 900 900 year.
IL
his Shipping Board and the Anglo Wall Street syndicate the
syndicate will thus obtain the finest fleet in the world for
less than the profits of the syndicate in single year from
its inferior feet.
Will President Wilson permit such trans
action?
Is it not a concrete example of that kind of
government by capitalistic syndicates which Mr.
Wilson himself denounced when he said that
"such invisible government often exerts a
greater power than the real government"
In the present feet owned by the Anglo-Wa Street
syndicate there ships of less than 5000 tons
In the superb German fleet there only four ships
as small 5000 tons.
Many of the Wall Street syndicate ships are from
twenty to thirty years old.
Most of the German ships new The Anglo Wall
Street syndicate has in it's entire feet only ship capable
of making twenty knots an hour
The German fleet contains six of the greatest and
ships in the world eight than twenty knots
speed.
The best capital ships of the two fleets compare

pany with a young man for about
five wears and we have always been
the best of friends. Five weeks ago
he expressed his wish to marry
me and I gave no definite answer,
but promised to answer In six
weeks. A week ago I met another
young man and we seemed to like
each other q great deal Maybe In
time the liking would grow
stronger; no one can tell what time
will do, but the .six weeks is grow
ing to an end quickly and i want
to act true blue. What would yuo
advise me to do? I have scarcely
q week to give my answer.

II you are enough interested in
this new young man to be doubt
full about your feelings for the
first one, you ought to ask for an
extension OF time. II would be
absurd TO say yes under the cir
cumstances and you might regret
it were you to decide in the mega
