more than 400 cities Of SO countries

DULUTH PREPARING
TO CARE FOR NAVY
RESERVE MEMBERS

Duluth, neutrality-suspicious. are
being made by the local unit of the
Minnesota Naval Militia to handle
1000, members of the state and Unit
ed States naval reserve from Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota and
northern Wisconsin,, who are expected
to be ordered here during the coming
summer for the annual training cruise
down the Great Lakes.
With the addition of the U. S. 81:
Paducah to the district naval reserve
fleet, facilities have been doubled, ac-
cording to Captain Guy Eaton, district
commander. The U. S. S. Essex, Off
cial training ship for several years,
will be retired from active service on
the lakes, its place to be taken by the
Paducah, a more modern ship. ~,
1t has been suggested that the Es-
sex not be beached, but that the ia
nous frigate. which saw service thirty
years ago with the fleet that broke up
slave traffic along the African coast,
be kept afloat at the militia's boat
house. At any rate the Essex will be
used o a receiving ship and as an
armory for the Duluth unit. = ~
The membership OF the district re-
serve is about 1000 men now, said
Captain Eaton. Several hundred men
were d~isenrolled recently, but the en-
%rollrnent Of reservists is again under
way and the commander hopes to see
the district membership brought Up to
the 1000 mark. Captain Eaton ex-
poets the coming summer to be an
unusually active -one.
Two hundred members of the Min
nesota Naval Militia will leave here
about May Is in charge of Captain.
Eaton for Portsmouth, N. H., to bring
to- Duluth the Paducah. The crew.

it occur to them that the members of
that organization were serving daily
ten departments and numerous inde-
eminent in Washington and, through
them or directly, many thousands of
individual citizens throughout the
country" fsN
In support of that statement, Dr.
rector Carr recites how American.
consuls handled 4s,O7S cases involving
the protection and welfare of Ia
1921.
Protection And Relief. Z
'"The many of protection and
relief" he adds, ranged from finding
lost relatives and shielding well mean
ing but indiscreet American travellers
from the legal consequences of their
rash acts, to rescuing INDECENT rela-
tives from starvation and DEATH"
That the consul vas a great letter
writer last a was shown by the
figures on correspondence. In the.
twelve month period ending June 80,
last, consuls abroad received 756,824
letters and sent out 871,891. Between
times they handled 546,239 consular
invoices, visaed passports for 657,96S
aliens and 150,117 Americans and
checked the arrival and departure of
27,83S American vessels.
In connection with their passport
work, Director Carr asserts consuls
discovered many frauds, gangs of
crooks manufacturing and selling
fraudulent passports were broken up
in many places in Europe" and
counterfeit passports, cleverly copied,
rubber stamps for visas, counterfeit
fee stamps and seals-all were found
and destroyed and the practices stop
ned.

Gross Tonnage OF
Ships Produced In
j. Maine Is Decreased

Portland, Maine-The gross tom
mage Of ships produced in Maine ship
yardsl during 1921 decreased $4,000
tens as compared with the output for
the preceding year. Statistics show
that slightly ove $4,000 tons went
the ways last year while in 1920,
$4,000 tons were sent over While the
figures show a large falling off from
the peak of the industry, reached in
1919 when 10000 gross tons were
produced, the output is $4,000 tons
above that of the average pre-war
production. Further declines are
anticipated this year.
X At Bath the shipbuilding center of
the state, to which a majority of the
1921 production is credited, no. work is.
said to be in sight except a govern
ment contract for five steel lightships.
Several yards in Maine have be-
come involved in financial difficulties
and many others have ceased building
because Of lack of demand and the
cost OF, operation. Although work has
been stopped at most of the plants in
the state, the builders claim the in
dustry could be revived in a short
time if it were necessary.

Theological Friction.
The state church minister at
Stroemstad recently refused to have
the bells of his church tolled at the
funeral services for one of the Oldest
n most respected citizens who was
buried under. the auspices of the
Methodist congregation. The attitude
of the state clergyman has been gen
orally resented By the Stroemstad
people as well as by others through
ou h country, and it is said that the
church department in Stockholm will
conduct an investigation of the case.
Under the avs of Sweden, it is claim
ed, such an attitude cannot be justi-
fled. The clergyman in question gives
as his sole reason for his refusal to
have the bells tolled that the deceased
had not been a member Of the state
Lutheran church,
