LONDON. Aug. S.-(By I. y. So
Great Britain's mercantile sea
sea power is diminishing.
This is shown by the latest sta
tissues on world tonnage issued by
Lloy6's.
In 1914 approximately 44iz per-
cent OF the worlds sea-going steam
tonnage was under the British flag
but today only 33ia percent of this
tonnage is British.
Britain's chances Of recoupins her
position are slim British shipyards
are reported empty Of work and il
is predicted that before the END OF
the year approximately so percent OF
British shipyard workers will be idle
The sea-going tonnage of the
United States has Increased by
more than 100000 tons since
1914. Increases since that date are
also noted by Japan. 1, 6S3.0OO tons;
France, 1880 tons; Italy. 1.172.-

Mr.. Harding Declares Armistce Day
In Destined to Be One of Our Not
able ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
at Wilson's Home.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Simplicity
characterized the official observance OF
the anniversary of Armistice Day
the day which President Harding, In
a message to the American people, de-
clarsd marked the victorious culmlna-
s1on of our nations most impressive
| 'partidpatioa in the affairs OF the
world
Simple in contrast with the cere-
monies Of a year ago, in which the
representatives of the rulers and po-
tentates of the worlds most powerful
nations Joined, doing honor to Amerl-
cas- dead as typified in the unknown
soldier, little group left the White
House to lay a wreath symboiizlng the
nations Armistice Day tribute on the
tomb in Arlington National Cemetery
of that unknown hero. 1t included the
president and the secretaries of wa:
and navy, and the pilgrimage these
three made IS expected to establish
precedent to be followed through the
years.
Also simple but more informal was
another event that marked the day
the visit of group of friends ana
admirers to the home in street or
Woodrow Wilson, the nations war
president. This was in accord with
custom established last year, when
several thousand, after paying tribute
to the unknown soldier, went to the
Wilson home and showed the esteem
in which they hold the former presi-
dent
Observance of the day elsewhere
throughout the nation varied, but in
the opinion of the president, as voiced
in his message, should make for ap-
praisal of the nations relationship to
I world affairs.
"The increasing enthusiasm with
which our people join in the annual
observance of Armistice Day." the
president said, 'enforces the conclu-
sion that ii is destined to be one OF
the notable anniversaries in our calen-
dar, and, indeed, it well deserves TO
be all of that, for it marks the vic
torous elimination Of our nations
most impressive participation ils the
affairs of the world. We shall not go
amiss # we seek to make our observ-
ance of this anniversary, not ot1sy7this
year, but every year hereafter, an oc-
cas.on for appraisal of our relation
ship 10 and participation in those
wider concerns which involve the wei
fare of all mankind.
Il think we have come to realize,
as a nation, that we cannot hope to
avoid obligations and responsibilities,
often arduous and burdenSome, as
part of the price we must pay for
our fortunate relationship to the con-
fraternity of the nation. 1t will be
greatly to the national benefit, l am
sure. if those who most intimately
participate in the e"ents Of the great
world, and among them /, of course,
include particularly the men of the
overseas forces, shall always keep in
mind the fact that their noble service
to their country and civilization has
imposed upon US duty to recognize
that henceforward we must maintain
a helpful and sustaining attitude in
all the broader relationships that in
volve the nations. Our first duty will,
| indeed. be to our own. but. that dntv

safely on her way to join her children
in Havana. She was evidently lady
who had seen better day&
Seeing helpless looking old man
sitting on a bench, the agent asked
if she could aid him. He told her
he had cataracts on both his eyes and
did not know how to get on the train.
The agent took him to the car and
put him in care Of the conductor.
A feeble minded veteran over so
years old, left the train at town in
Louisiana, he was on his way to the
Reunion; someone brought him to
New Orleans and turned him over
to the agent. She discovered he had
been a Chaplain and was a Baptist.
She phoned the Baptist Bible House,
they verified his record and came for
him. He had lost his watch, ticket,
money and even his coat and hat.
A very old lady with a great deal
Of cash was delayed some hours here
and accepted the invitation Of we'll
dressed young man to see her around

The agent told her of the danger Of
such a plan and offered to take the

duty. When the young man returned
the old lady told him that she had
changed her mind, the agent told him
she would accompany her. She took

A lady and gentleman called upon
the agent to arrange to have their
young daughter of fifteen going of
to school met at Birmingham, taken
to the T. A. Home for the night
placed on the train the next day fo1
Washington, and met at Washington
by the agent there. This service
makes travelling safe for young girls.
We are glad to do this and desire to
call it to the attention Of parents,
whose young daughters must travel
alone.
We have assisted many old people
who have arrived helpless and be-
wildered, the women have either been
taken to own home, and the men
safely directed, or they have been
speeded on their way; their address
ascertained and their relatives COM
municated with.
During the past year, quite unm-
ber Of old ladies, some over eighty
years old, have been cared for, they
are evidently restless at home and
travel alone from place to place, some
come to the city to seek home for
old women, some are travelling from
the home of one member of that fam
lily to that of another. They all re-
ceive the service and assistance which
they need.
We cared for an old lady nearly
ninety, at the Home for week, while
she waited for a ship to Cuba. She

A few cases that will illustrate
how we save girls:
A young girl enroute to Alabama
from Texas, informed the agent that
young man was going to take he1
to a hotel, she was taken to the Y
W. C. A.
A girl was brought here by a man.
who had promised to marry her as
soon as he was divorced, the girl
found work and was to meet the man
at the station, but he did not appear,
or was afraid to take her from the
agent; the girl was aided to return
to her home.
| A very young girl came here from
neighboring town, and her family
allowed her to give, as her address,
the General Delivery. We were in
formed of her way Of living, by some
one who did not want to see her 20
to destruction. We wrote to her ia
ther and asked him to come and get
her. He sent her brother and with
the aid of the Police heated her, res
cued her from her evil companions
and placed her under safe guardian
ship. She is very young, only six
teen, and there is a chance for the fu-
ture.
A girl was taken from a man she
met on the train, who insisted on
keeping her here for a day "to show
her good time; he was very bold,
and the girl, who seemed little lack
ing mentally, was willing to go with
him, but we took her to the home, and
our agent saw her safely on her way.
The agent was warned by tele-
gram, that a young girl on her way
from a Mississippi town was being
followed by young man. The agent
met her as she transferred safely
from station to station.
A young girl was frightened by a
man on the train who offered to es-
cort her to her destination, the agent
took charge Of her and located her
relatives, the man disappeared.
A girl from Alabama was taken
to the T. A. Home, and as she was
in great danger we communicated
with her mother and sent her to he1
home.
A young inexperienced country girl
from town in Louisiana, came tc
meet man she claimed to be hel
cousin, he was from a very differen,
class and came in an auto to meet
her, he had intended to take her to a
rooming house or hotel. Luckily she
arrived ahead of him and was taken
to the T. A. Home where her DANCE,
was discovered, taxed with his evil
purpose, he disappeared and the girl
gladly returned to her home.
The conductor reported that two
young girls were misbehaving on the
train, they got off with a soldier and
sailor, the agent took them from
the men and escorted them to their
home; she. also explained their be.
havior to their mothers and told her
Of the danger they were running.
A young girl arrived without a hat
and with no money, by investigation
we discovered that she had been trav-
cling up and down the railroad for
several months, leading an immoral
life. Her mother exercised no re-
