GERMAN MARITIME

, contemplation In Sea-
Carrying Trade

London, March S.-lCorrespon-
dence of The Associated Press1--
Germany has once more become a
competitor in the sea carrying
trade of the world, says Archibald
Hurd, an authority on maritime
matters, in commenting upon the
recent defeat in congress of Presi-
dent Harding's ship subsidy legis-
lation. 1.-THE recovery OF that
country" says Mr.. Hurd, "is one OF
the most remarkable, if the least
generally recognized, events OF the
last four years.
when the war broke out" con-
tinues this writer, Germany pos
sessed more than 100000 tons OF
shipping. She ranked as the sec
ond greatest sea carrying power in
the world, and had created an eff
ficient organization in every for
eign port for dealing with .passen
gers and cargoes. Under the Yer.
sailles Treaty she was compelled
to surrender virtually all her sea
going ships, and was left with only
about 100000 tons OF steam ton
mage. Today. as the result Of the
thrift and industry of her workers,
she possesses a merchant feet of
about 2,500,000 tons, and by the end
Of the present year will own about
5000 900 tons.
Great Volume New Tonnage
"The Germans have built great
volume OF new tonnage at very
cheap rates and they have bought,
and are still buying, second hand
tonnage in England and the United
States and are paying cash for II.
There is no country east, west or
south which is not now visited by
German ships, and month by month
the number of vessels employed at
sea is being steadily increased.
There has been little unemploy
ment in Germany since peace was
signed. The whole population, mum :
bering 10000 900, has been hard at
work, laboring as rule strenuous
ly for long hours and at low wages,
They have been creating an i'm :
mense amount of wealth, and that
wealth has not been exported to
any considerable extent. In the
main Germany has been re- equip
ping all her industries, ana is-now
probably the most efficient manu-
featuring country in the world. Her
shipowners. industrial magnates and
great working population have built
up once more merchant feet to
carry the vast products of the
country to all the markets Of the
world"

Heroine Will Speak
\ In kato On April 2

An unusual opportunity to hear
one of the worlds greatest heroines
tell her own thrilling and touching
story will come when Miss Elsa
Brandstrom arrives in this city on
her lecture trip on April 2, under
the auspices OF the Nurses associa-
ton and will speak at the Swedish
Lutheran church on Main street on
Monday evening. This is the young
Swedish woman who earned the title,
THE Angel of Siberia" conferred
upon her by thousands of grateful
war prisoners. among whom she la
bored in Russia and Siberia, from
the very beginning of the World
War until two years after its close.
She is now on two months lee
ture tour in this country, after which
she will return to Europe TO continue
her work of charity.
Miss Brandstrom, typical nordic
blonde Of charming girlishness, is
the daughter OF the late General
Brandstrom, who was Swedish Min
lister to the Russian Empire. She
was with her father at his post when
the war broke out, and, almost as
soon as the first prisoners came in,
began to do local relief work on a
small scale. Her ability and courage
were drawn upon more and more as
the war progressed and conditions
grew worse. And finally, when the
czarist regime was overthrown, thou
sands of prisoners were left sick and
destitute in the wild wastes of ST.
IBERIA Miss RrandStrom asserted her
leadership, and, working with the
Red Cross and other relief organi-
cations. spared herself no personal
suffering in order that the terrible
lot of the war victims might be allie
waited.
Her daring and steadfast purpose
led her into many adventures. She
chose to remain in Russia when all
relief workers had been ordered out
by the Bolsheviki and she was ar
rested more than once by the So
Wet authorities. Though she is ex-
tremely modest, she may tell her
audience of how she quelled a mu-
tiny OF two thousand prisoners who
declared that they would rather be
shot down than continue under their
captors. And she may also tell OF
some of the terrors of travelling
through disease infected Siberia at
time when all conyeniences of ira :
vel had been destroyed.
But Miss Brandstrom has not
come TO this country merely to tell
stirring tales. She is still laboring
in the cause of charity.
Miss Brandstrom was nominated
for the $4,000 Nobel peace prize for
her relief work.

card bearers. The street was a YER
tible flower garden all the morning
as offerings from the Bernhard
theatre, the opera, the opera conf
que, the comedie Francois and from
individuals of every section of the
world Of art were placed around the
church.
The exterior Of the little church
was sombre with black drapery but
with a fringe of white and with the
initials "S. e" prominently display
ed. The interior likewise was drap.
ed in black.
The bier was placed at the head
and surrounded with several score
of candles.
Body Laid At Rest
The body Of Sarah Bernhard was
laid to rest in her tomb in the GENE
terry Of Pere La Chais this afternoon
at four o'clock after a simple fun
eral service in the church Of st
Francois de Sales and solemn pro-
cession thence through streets
thronged with crowds of mourners.
The ceremony in the church ended
at one o'clock. The coffin was
placed in q hearse covered with
flowers and followed by FIVE floats
each drawn by two horses and each
bearing a mountain of flowers ten OF
a dozen feet high-the tributes that
had been sent to the dead TRACED
ienne.
AS the procession, began to move
toward the cemetery Pere La Chais
all Paris seemed either to>be lining
the streets CT fastening to find
places on the route to the place OF
burial.
The elements were kind to the
mourning throng. The day was one
of beautiful sunshine, more like
summer than spring, permitting
even the oldest and weakest admirer
of the great Bernhard to venture
forth and await the passing Of the
procession.
The police estimated that there
we're at least one million people be
tween la Madeleine and the theater
Sarah Bernhardt. All traffic along
the route was suspended from one
until three p. m, municipal police
guards and gendarmes keeping the
way open. Practically every window
along the way was filled with spec.
tators. and many cameras were in
evidence.
