Want Ship, Board
Vessels Strapped
Urge Elimination Of All
Craft Unfit For
Service

The American shipping industry
went on record yesterday as in
favor of the scrapping of all
Shipping Board vessels for sale
or operation as an essential move
in the establishment of sound
marine policy.
Resolutions to this effect were
passed at a meeting of the Anne
rican Merchant Marine joint COM
mittee in the offices of the Anne
rican Steamship Owners Asso-
citation, IL Broadway. The COM
mittee is composed of representa-
tives of the shipowners' associa-
ton, of various organizations OF
shipbuilders and repair men and
of managing agents of the Ship
ping Board, r. H. NJ. Robinson
president of the United American
Lines, presided.
Gas first essential step to-
ward stabilizing of general
shipping conditions" said the
resolution, 1--WE recommend that
the United States Shipping Board
Gull out of the Government owned
fleet all steel steamships unfit
for normal commercial competi-
ton, by reason of defective ma
chinery or hull design, and pro-
coed to scrap such unfit ships
as rapidly as notwithstanding
however, for active use and even
tual sale all good ships capable
of advantageous employment.
"As the registries Of all mari
time nations are now numbered
with a considerable tonnage of
ships that, because of age or
character, are incapable of really
efficient and economical service, it
is fitting that the United States
should take the initiative in eli
minating tonnage of this kind,
in order to hasten a revival of
shipbuilding and of navigation
throughout the world"
The Shipping Board has about
1,4O0 steel steamers of 10000
900 lightweight tons, of which
800 are in operation. According to
the boards own estimates, not
more than one-third the total are
of the best and most economical
types. About one-third are regard
ed as of types that might be
operated under favorable cir
cumstances, and the remaining
third as unlikely to be of any SER
vice for operation under the Anne
trican flag.
The action of the committee
was regarded as of special i'm
portance in view of the considera-
ton being given by the Ship
ping Board to the formulation Of
a new policy, which is expected
to involve sweeping changes in
the conditions of sale and opera
ton of the Government fleet. Mr..
Lasker has let it be known that
he will consult private shipping
men before arriving at any deci-
sions. The new policy, it now ap-
pears, will not be ready for pro-
mitigation before six weeks or two
months.

his charms and spells But before he could teach him
how to make the malignant powders. with which he
kept the Czarevitch always ILL., he had to send Gregory
to the graveyards to get that from which the powders
were cOncOcted"
So, with horror in her words, Hehonia Gossiva
explained to me how Gregory first met the wizard.
Then heard the rest. 1t seems this old wizard made
his powders from the brains and hearts Of dead
maidens who had departed life at very tender age.
No maid over twenty eligible to furnish pow
ders for these devils practices. For, twenty,
her>brains and heart not considered sufficiently
tender. And the girl must have passed childhood
into womanhood, else the work of the old wizards
charms in vain.
Gregory Rasputin was at the head of a band of

Gently been buried These dabolical grave-robbefs,
having lifted the coffin to the ground, next removed
the heart of the dead maiden and, cutting and saw
ing penetrated the skull to pry out her brains These
Rasputin, later saint and prophet carried to the Old
wizard
And the old wizard, at dead midnight put the
brains and the heart into his mystic cauldron He
stones Over this fire he set the cauldron full of the
brains and hearts. Then Gregory and the wizard,

THAT, master" whispered Hehonia Gossiva to
me, that was the way Gregory Rasputin got his
power This is how Gregory able to make the
little father and mother of Holy Russia, Gear Mich
oIas and Czarina Alexandra, to do his will always.
For master, this powder the old wizard charmed. It
was not alone the brains of young girls and their
hearts that he put into the accused cauldron
Sometimes they fed this powder to the person
they would influence, who ofttimes became very sick
But if Gregory failed to make him whom he would
influence sick with this powder, then the herbs which
the wizard had gathered from the fields did make the
victim Ill indeed. For the old wizard taught Gregory
all the secrets of balefu herbs and drugs Healing
herbs he taught Gregory about too. And how to win
power men, true witchery taught first to make
them i'll with the malevolent drugs and herbs and
powders then to make them we'll with the antidotes
which all wise wizards must know, to the last herb

and that any earthly reward, riches or ndulgences

This attitude greatly Impressed the Gear. Here
for almost the first time, he had found man so
wholly devout and pious that the customary tokens
of imperial favor did not interest him.
~ The Car then timidy sent word to ask if there
was anything the "holy man" could suggest which
would be fitting acknowledgment to the Almighty
Himself This exactly what Rasputin was hop
ing for. And he replied that whenever in his divine
communion with God, he received divine commands
which concerned the Car or his household his
heir or his empire, he would notify the Car and
make plain how Gods wishes could best be executed
Thus by the accident of the birth of son instead
of another daughter Rasputin had won the blind de-
Votion of the Cars wife and had set himself up
sort of super-czar over the Car himself. And how

nal household | will explain in later Chapters
