KEEP SHIPS UNDER OUR
OWN FLAG, Is DEMAND

The following protests from promi-
ncnt Congressman were voiced here
today to the proposed sacrifice sale of
the thirty ships seized during the
war:
REPRESENTATIVE SIMS, Tennes-
see-I am unalterably opposed to
the sale of any of the vessels, unless
1t Is absolutely certain that the Gov
ernin,rt is to receive full value IN
return. Even though II should be
deemed best to place them in private
operation, this should be done by
lease, with the Government retaining
title to them.
'I agree with Secretary Bakers re-
cent statement that the Government
shou' retain title to the best o, the
former German vessels as an army
transport reserve.
'"Thc least the Shipping Board
should do is to delay the proposed
SALE"
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN, Iowa
Tho proposed sale OF the former
German liners should not take place
at least until there Is afforded am
pie time for a careful and thorough
investigation of the situation and
tho charges which have been recent
ly made in connection with the trans
action. Sufficient time also ought TO
be granted to all parties who may be
interested in buying the ships to
make the necessary surveys on which
they can base their bids
REPRESENTATIVE NOLAN, Cali
fornia-"I am afraid that by throw
ing the former German ships on the
market at this time, the Shipping
Board will have to sacrifice them ut
prices far too low"

We have had too much OF this kind
Of business in closing up our war af'
fairs. Millions OF dollars have been
squandered in one way or another.
The people are complaining bitterly
Most assuredly these ships should
not be sold to British interests. Tho
Government should sell them to
Americans who will see that these
boats always fly the American flag.
hope the President will call a halt
on this sale and IL he will not stop It.

You cannot establish an American

VALERA'S LETTER
TO IRISH PEOPLE
ON Renowned DAY
Appeals To Sons And Daugh-
tiers Of The GeaI.

Washington, March 1.-THE fol-
lowing st. Patrick's Day message has
been sent by canon de Valera, hail
ed by the Emerald Isle as president
of Ireland, to men and women of
Irish blood throughout the world:
Sons and Daughters of the Gael,
wherever you be today, IL The name
of the Motherland. greeting!
Whatever flag be the flag you
guard and cherish. it is consistent
with your highest duty to band your
selves together, to use your united
strength to help break the chains
that bind our sweet sad Mother.
And never before have the scatter
ed children of Fire had such an OPP
portunity for noble service. Today
you can serve not only Ireland but
the world.
A cruel war and more cruel
peace have shattered the generous OF
soul. Apathy mocks the high mind
ed, and heartless cynicism points
the way of selfishness.
We, the children of a race that has
never ceased to strive-that has en-.
dured for ages the blights of war
and the disappointment of peace
who have had the cup of the fruition
of hops dashed from our lips in ev-
cry decade, and have not despaired--
whose temper has never soured, but
who have always looked forward for
the good in tomorrow-the world
needs what we can give it today.
Once before our people gave their
soul to a barbarian continent, and
led brute materialism to an under
standing of higher things. 1t is still!
our mission ito show the world the
might of moral beauty"--to teach
mankind peace and happiness in
keeping the law of love, doing to our
| neighbor what we would have our
| Deighbor do to us.
We are the spear points of the
hosts in political slayery-we can be
| the 81 ats of dawn for the despair
| ing and the wretched everywhere.
And those of our race who arc
citizens of this mighty land of Amer
lea, whose thought will help to mould
the policy of the leader among the
Nations-how much the world look
to you this st. Patricks Day-hopes
IN you-trusts in you.
You can SO easily accomplish thai
which is needed. You have only tC
have the will-the way is so clear
What would not the people in the
cid land give for the power which Is
yours.
May God and st. Patrick inspire
you to use it. and to use it we'll.

they would saunter to the middle

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the

these tablets "a vegetable compound

They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
