WILSON WROTE MESSAGE
IN wee SMALL HOURS
While Drinking Milk and Eating
Crackers, Masterpiece
Was PREF AIRED

Atlantic, City, N. president
Wilson's famous war message was
not dictated, as has been generally
accepted, in his Office as part of
the days routine, without any spe-
cial difficulty, but was written un-
der unusual circumstances after
days and nights of hard thinking.
This was disclosed today by Will
liam c. Redfield, Secretary of Com
MERGE in the Wilson cabinet, as he
chatted with friends at the Ambas-
sador hotel.
THE President had thought and
worried days and nights over his
war message, but it seemed the
words for which he yearned would
not come" said Mr.. Redfield. Zone
evening he retired quiet discour-
aged, about IL o'clock. Two hours
later he was awakened by the force
of his inspiration. At last he
realized he had within his grasp
the thoughts that had been eluding
him. He switched on the light, sat
on the side Of his bed and jotted
down stenograprically the swiftly
coming thoughts. When he had his
message well under way he put on
his bath robe and took his pencil
and paper to back porch.
about an hour later Mrs. Will
son was awakened by the light
which the President had forgotten
to turn off. She looked for him and
finally discovered him on the porch
She inquired solicitously about him,
but he assuerd her he was all right,
though little hungry. That was
enough for Mrs. Wilson. She went
to the kitchen, not disturbing a
maid, and delved into the refrigera-
tor. She took out some milk and
carried it to the President with a
box of crackers, and he was CRATE
full for her attention.
$50 this wonderful message,
whose strength, inspiration and
beauty will keep it alive as long as
the world endures, was written in
the wee small hours with the moon
shining, the only light, while its
author in a bath robe sat on his
back porch slipping milk and
munching crackers

ZR.2 Equipped With Everything
From a Good Cuisine TO a
Pho nol raph

washington, Aug. 15.--If the ZR-
2, the navy's big rigid dirigible
which will start its fight from How
den, England, to Lakehurst, N. j.,
on Aug. %, were placed on the east
plaza of the Capitol it would hide
all but twenty-five feet of one wing
of the building. If stood on end
alongside the Washington Monu-
ment its nose would protrude $50
feet above the top.
The ZR-2 can make speed of
seventy-fve miles an hour when
pushed and has a cruising speed of
fifty miles. When flown at cruising
, speed the big dirigible could travel
5000 miles, under normal conditions
without refuelling. A speed of sew
enty-five miles an hour could be
maintained for a distance of 5000
miles.
The commanding officer of the
ZR-2 occupies the control car, sit
uated forward, which is similar to
the bridge of surface vessel. He
controls the aerial leviathan exactly
as does the Captain of sea-going
vessel. The communication system
consists of engine room telegraphs,
ship telephones and voice tubes. All
orders to the power units on the en-
CINE telegraphs are repeated back
to the control car before being put
into execution. The propellers on
two of the power cars are equipped
with reversing gear, which enables
the ship to check her speed at will.

Included in the up-to-date equip
ment of the ZR-2 is a radio set with
a sending radius of 1900 miles. It
likewise has installed a wireless
telephone and radio direction find
ing set.
The structural strength of the
ZR-2 depends largely upon some
sixty miles of piano wire used as
stays and braces. In addition
twenty miles of duralumin channel
section were used in making the

posed.
Quarters of the crew are located
in the keelway, which extends the
full length of the airship and is 8
feet wide by feet high. Two large
spaces are inclosed in the keelway,
one forward for the commissioned
personnel, and one aft for the en-
listed men. The quarters are equip
ped with comfortable chairs, tables,
benches and monograph with
good assortment of records.
Bunks are placed along the keel
way at varying intervals. Each
bunk, in addition to a good mat

power car is equipped with a cook
ing arrangement, consisting of a
lead from the exhaust pipe to a
cooker. The exhaust flames are
brought in contact with the bottom
of the cooking utensils. Hot food
is served on tables in the dining
rooms. A typical daily menu fol-
lows:
Breakfast-Shredded wheat, ba-

1T IS NOT EASY

To apologize,
To begin over,
To Be unselfish,
To take advice,
To admit error,
To face a sheer,
To be charitable,
To keep on trying,
To be considerable,
To avoid mistakes,
To endure success,
To Keep out OF the rut,
To think and then act,
To forgive and forget,
To make the best of little,
To subdue an unruly temper,
To maintain a high standard,
To shoulder a deserved blame, =
To recognize the silver lining
But 1t always pays.

Germans To Try to
Capture Picture Trade

Berlin, Dec. l0.-German motion
picture film manufacturers have per-
fected cooperative organization one
OF the prime purposes Of which is to
capture the European trade held by
American producers. In the effort to
compete with the American film the
Germans are endeavoring to develop a
screen humor," which heretofore has
been lacking in their productions. Vir-
tually all Teuton films, until recently,
have dealt only with historical, leg
| endary and romantic subjects.
Some of the more ambitious Ger
man companies have engaged Amer
lean directors and are striving to put
Americon pep" into their plays, to
meet home consumption as we'll as ex-
| port demands, for American films
amuggled into the country during the
last several months when importa-
tions were forbidden proved surpris-
ingly popular.
A survey of the world film mar
kets by interested Germans disclosed
| American films were more popular
han any others in Italy, England.
| Scandinavia and the Balkans, which
led to discussion of what was wrong
with the German technique. The con-
| s2nsus of opinion seemed to be that
| the American films were "better" ham
died" and were sprinkled generally
with lively humor.
This verdict was sharply criticized.
however, by number of German pro-
: ducers who hold to the opinion that
German technique is bound to prevail
over the "slap-stick comedy" and the
silly sentimental things produced
only to show rows of white teeth and

The Germans early made an effort
to compete in the American home
market, and succeeded until recently
in disposing of 800 expensive films.
which, however, are still being held
for release. An effort toward coop
Grafton between American and Ger
man producers, begun several months
ago, appeared to stumble over the
problem of cost and the uncertainty
OF the value of German money which
made making of contracts difficult.
Average cost of German films
ranges between half a million and
eight hundred million marks, although
two or three films have been produced
at cost approximating ten million
marks each.
Producers complain of their inabil
ity to secure good manuscripts, and
at the same time admit they are un-
able to pay for new talent, which is
being contracted in foreign countries
This and the fact that America is said
to have virtual monopoly of raw
films is handicapping the Germans in
their announced purposing of captur-
ing the world film market.

Serbia Has "Come Back"

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Dec. 10 (By
The Associated Press).-Serbia has
"come back" This Is perhaps the
most incisive way of saying that the
little Slav kingdom has recovered in
the most spectacular way from the
effects of the war. For the first
time in 10 years the country is stand
ing on its own feet and is in no need
Of outside assistance. The peasantry
| of Jugoslavia, which form the back
bone and sinew of the country, are
enjoying a degree of prosperity and
material contentment unknown be-
fore.
Other countries may have their un-
employment problems, but Jugo-
slavia has none. Indeed, she has
abundant work for thousands of
aliens who are honest, have the will
to work and are free from Bolshe-
! vism. Two hundred thousands good
Russians who were without employ
ment since the Petrograd revolution
of 1917 have come to hospitable
Jugoslavia and found useful and
profitable pursuits among people of
their own tongue. Every Serbian
soldier, oto, has found remunera-
tive work upon leaving the army.
Soldiers unions, legions, or employ
ment bureaus do not exist in this
country.
The most impressive evidence of
Serbia's rejuvenation is the extra or-
dinary building boom which is sweep
ing the country. In Belgrade alone
1000 buildings are in course Of con-
struction. In every corner of the
kingdom business buildings, school
houses and private dwellings are
springing up with rapidity that re-
minds one of the building boom in
the Western towns of the United
States when gold was discovered, or
of the building craze that seiz-
ed the suburban centers of that coun-
try decade ago.
Every square foot of the 1000
buildings now in erection in the Ser
bian capital is taken, and it will re-
quire thousands of additional struc-
lures to accommodate the business
firms and individuals who are flock
ing tt the Jugoslavian metropolis in
ever-increasing numbers. Once call
ed can overgrown village" Bel
grade is now for the first time as
suming the proportions, Importance
and dignity of real capital. Soon
the city will have a splendid Parlia-
ment building, royal residence and
an Opera House of which more pros
porous and ostentatious countries
might feel proud.

Deficiency in Postal Service

Valparaiso, Nov. 6.-The American
Chamber of Commerce in Valparaiso
has addressed a petition to the gov
ernor of the province calling atten-
ton to the "grevious damage caused
to international commerce through
deficiency in the postal service" be-
tween Chile and the United States.
Correspondence from Chile, trans
shipped at Panama, is often delayed
from forty to forty-fve days before
arriving at it's destination, the pc
tition asserts. 1t declares that the
Omitted States government takes ad
vantage of every direct steamer for
sending mail whereas we have only
the services of two direct steamers,
other lines shipping at Pana-
ma"
The petition calls on the governor
to place the matter before the presi-
dent of Chile "that he may see the
urgent necessity or arbitrating means
for obtaining betterment in the in
terchange of correspondence so es-
sential to business between the two
countries"
A correspondent writing in the
South Pacific Mail answers the AM
erican's perition with the testament
that "what certainly does call for re-
form is the manner in which mail is
brought from the United States to
Chile" The writer asserts that Val
paraiso commerce is united in think
ing that the Chilean government |
should make representations to the
United States on the matter.
"Under the short-sighted policy of
protection prevailing in the United
States," says the correspondent,
mail from that country is almost ex-
clusively carried in North American
vessels. Thus mail from the United
States is held up an extraordinarily
long time waiting for one of these
vessels to the detriment of commerced
both in the United States and in
Chile"
Mail from this republic to the
United States Is now carried by two
steamships that ply directly between
and New York and by
others that go to Panama, where
trans-shipment is made. II
