NATIONAL DEFENSE
MAY RULE SHIPPING
Entire Question May Be Re-
opened on Basis of
Needs of Country.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Although the Geneva conference
was intended as a step to reduce ar
mament, it may turn out, so far as
the United States is concerned, that
the entire question of shipping policy
will be reopened on the basis OF the
needs of national defense.
Admiral Hilary Jones, president OF
the General Board of the Navy. wants
a merchant marine developed as an
auxiliary weapon because the British
have opened the eyes of the American
naval men to the reliance placed by
the British Navy on merchantmen
which can be converted into scout YES
sells and commerce raiders.
Training of Men.
The contest between the school
which advocates Government owner
ship and operation and the school
which wants private operation has
been at times enlivened by considera-
tions of national defense, but the issue
has been for the most part incidental.
The private ownership group usually
points to the way in which the Ameri-
can Government Commandeered such
merchant ships as were in the hands
of private owners and argues that the
same thing can be done in the next
war. The big question, however. is
whether private owners will be willing
TO follow Government specifications in
constructing their vessels so as to
make conversion into a warShip an
easier matter than was the case when
the vessels were taken over in 1918.
The Navy has an interest also in
controlling a Government merchant
marine, because it can assist in the
training Of officers and crew. though
this is done in European countries by
close working agreement between
the shipping companies and the navy.
In fact, the government subsidy in
some instances is given in considera.
ton of such control being permitted.
Saving of $4,000
The sentiment Of the naval con-
tinsent here will for the most part be
In favor of a continuance of Govern
ment ownership and operation. In
this connection the Shipping Board
has just made public a report on the
cost of operating Government cargo
ships, which reveals that a ton of
cargo was handled in the nine months
ending April 1, 1927, at SO cents less
than in the same period Of the preced-
ing year. The board directed atten-
ton to the economies it had effected
for the benefit of the American ship
pers of grain and cotton, especially
when foreign tonnage was being
withdrawn at the time Of the British
coal strike.
The Shipping Board points out.
moreover, that the reduction Of So
cents a ton came as the Government
handled million more cargo than the
previous year. The entire cost of the
Shipping Board for the fiscal year be-
ginning July ! last is now estimated
by the board to be not in excess of
s16,000.000. This is saving of $3,600,-
900 over the previous year. The argu-
ment then comes down to whether the
Government will be willing to appro-
pirate s16,000.000 for a continuance of
Government operation or whether the
principle involved Of getting the Gov
ernment out Of business is larger than
the actual sums appropriated.

SEEKS POINT OF EXIT
Explorer Threatens Suit Against
Persons Charging Hoax.
Ry the Associated Press

SHELL MOUND, Tenn, August %.
Greatly refreshed after nights rest,
l.. S. Ashley, geologist and explorer,
who Sunday morning dug his way out
Of Nick-a-Jack cave, seemed little the
worse today for his six days stay in
the cavern. He said his first effort
will be to relocate the new entrance
to the cave through which he es-
capped some eight miles from the
point where he entered the cavern.
He appeared confident that he would
find it, although he said he was so
dazed at the time of his escape that
landmarks made little impression
upon his exhausted faculties.
Ashley made his exit yesterday from
the famous cavern, which spreads out
under three States and from which
maurauding bands Of Cherokee In
dians used to make their sallies
against white settlers, at a point In
Castle Rock Gulch, near the abandon.
ed Cole City Mine, eight miles from
the mouth of the cave which he en-
tered on Monday morning, a week
ago. In a dazed, semi-conscious condi-
ton and on the verge of collapse, the
explorer protested he was none the
worse for his experience, though he
admitted the experience was harrow
ing enough.

Chairman John T. Kelly presiding and
Commissioners Convery, Gard in at
tendance,
Aside from the regular routine mat
ters, several important questions came
before the board for discussion and
attention. These had to do with the
progress to be made in the county dur
ing the present year, particularly as
to roads.
Two modern tractors were purchas-
ed to be used on the roads, and res
olution in the form of a letter was
adopted and sent to the State Highway

until 1928, as was suggested to them
by the State Highway Commission.

MY VALENTINE

/ am weary, Dearie, weary,
Weary waiting at the phone,
For the answer to my question
AS to when you'll be my own.
For I'm lonesome here without you
And I think so much about you.
But, of course, l never doubt you
When alone.
Yet sometimes / seem to wonder,
When with some of them / dance,
Why the girls / meet from Bridger,
Bearcreek, Belfry, Boyd and Chance
Have for me such fascination,
And can cause me such elation,
And bring to me such temptation
At a glance.
I have met fair maids at Fromberg
That entranced me, Baby Mine,
And at Roberts l have seen them,
That to me looked superfne,
/. So, no longer please abuse me,
Have heart and don't misuse me,
Just say, eyes," and thus enthuse me

TEN NEW MEMBERS

At a meeting of Aerie No. 742 of
the Eagles ten new members were in
itiated into the Order last night. They
were Joe Phelps, John Marchello, Matt
Budiselich, John Reiter, John Aprolo,
Edward Aprolo, Floyd Gebo, George
Ebich, John Regis and Albert Spich-
tig.
What will be of interest to the
Eagles is to know that the Grand Ae-
rie is sponsoring a membership cam
paign. 1t is particularly appropriate
that the first converted fraternal act
of the new year should be member
thip drive in honor of the worthy
president of each aerie. The various
subordinate aeries will endeavor to in
crease their membership percentage
and receive some of the cash awards
that are being offered for the high
est increases in membership. The
drive in Red Lodge has been encour-
aging. Red Lodge aerie has already
secured 26 new members and the drive
is gaining momentum Worthy Pres
ident Henry Albert declares that if
he receives any of the cash awards
he will contribute all the money to the
social fund to be expended on large
banquet.

FUNERAL SERVICES
FOR YOUNG MATR0N
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Laura Adela Mattila, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Mattila, was
born at Rolla, North Dakota, May II,
1901, and died at her home near Rob-
erts, Montana, February 6, 1927, aged
25 years, s months and 10 days.
With her parents she came to this
city when an infant and has lived here
OF near here ever since. She was edu-
Gated in the Red Lodge public schools
and graduated from the Carbon Coun
ty high school with the class of 1920.
On December 5, 1901, she was unit
ed in marriage to John Kevikangas
of Roberts, near which place they have
resided until the mite of her death.
She has been critically i'll for sever
al weeks and while the news of her
death came as shock and cast pail
of gloom over the entire community it
was not unexpected. All that tender
hearts and willing hands could do was
done to stay the result. But alas!
How vain are human hopes. She
steadily grew worse and at an early
hour Sunday morning her spirit took
it's flight. Death was victor and all
that was mortal of her who but such
short time ago was a happy school
girl with the bloom of youth upor
her cheeks, lapsed into that dreamless
sleep that knows no waking.
Mrs Kevikangas was a consistent
member of the Finnish Lutheran
church of this city and died in the
firm hope of a brighter and happier
world beyond the grave.
The funeral will be held from th'
Finnish church at one o'clock tomor
row afternoon, with B. B. Downward il
charge of arrangements and Rev. Mat
Eikkila officiating. Interment will b.
in the Red Lodge cemetery where zoe
her grave during the years to com
shall be shed the tears of love and re
spect and sorrow of those to whom sh
was so dear in life, and where il
angel guarded rest she shall sleep un
til the daybreak."
Mrs. Kevikangas is survived by he
husband and daughter, Verna, aget
three years; also by her parents ant
her sisters, Viola, Helena, Irene, Elm;
and Irma and two brothers, Adrian
and Henry, all of Red Lodge.
The pall-bearers will be John Joki
Ferdinand Koski, August Maxi, Jacol
Kamppinen, John Honkala and Jal
mer Luoma.
To the bereaved family the New
extends it's sincere sympathy.

LIN COLIN
By E. P. C.

He was. the homely, hearty, helpful product of
the western woods and prairies. He was the rarest
combination of tears and laughter, Of humbeness

He had the intellect of Caesar, the patriotism
and fearless honesty of Hampden, the humanity
of King David.
His name serves as a spur to eloquence, his
words are eloquence ITSELF his deeds shine on the
pages of the worlds history SO that they dim the
splendor of high achievements by others.
When this nation-when this world-ceases to ]
