'f, Chicago, III., Dec. 9.—Shipyards on
out inland sen* have sent to tbo At-
lantic a large armada of cargo Vessel*
ilnce the,beginning of thu war, thereby
materially aiding the work of ocean
transportation. , . ‘
I-ake jpuporior, Lake- Michigan, Lake
Boron, g-ake Kric, all vied with each
other in being the fir»t to send their
veteran ships which had plied in lake
orator*, and theu to send new ones
which hud beau constructed to meet
the emergency of war.
Since August, 1917, when tbo Ship-
ping Board begun its work, and up to
November 1 the Groat I .axes has sent
a fleet of INI »teol vessel* to the sea-
board, aggregating dll,935 deadweight
ton*.
The significance of this total will bo
better understood when it i» stated
that this exceeds by far the entire
output of all the shipyards of the
United States for any one of the four
pre-war years.
One of the remarkable performances
in shipbuilding, and which established
a world record, was that of the build-
ing of the Crawl Key*. Thi| vessel,
a 3,500-ton freighter, was launched in
17 days after tho keel wa» laid and
delivered complete to the Shipping
Board in 34 calendar days. The keel
ef the Crawl Keys was laid July 11,
1918. She was launched July 27 and
delieverd to the Shipping Board^ on
August 14, 1918, and started for the
Atlantic. This vessel came from the
yards of tho Groat Lakes Engineering,
Works at Ecorsr, Mich.
The yards are spread over the lakes,
located at Buffalo, Chicago,
Lorain, Asbtabahi and To-
ledo, Ohio; Detroit, Bert Huron,
Ecorse, Saginaw, and Marine City,
Mich.; Superior, Manitowoc, Green Bay
and Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin,- and Du-
luth, Minn.
When the Shipping Board was form-
ed there were 14 shipyards on the
lakes, with 75 ways. Now there are
21 yards, with 110 ways and 15 ways
building. Aceordthg to the latest fig-
ure, there were 31,002 employes in the
21 yards on the lakes, there being no
figures available as to the number
when the board took charge.

Threatens Memphis
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 9.—Memphis
is threatened with a second epidemic
of influcnsA. Twenty-eight new eases
were reported to the hoard before
noon today. Thirty-nine eases wAe re-
eorded yesterday, making a total of
more than 100 new eases discovered
this week.
Ill addition to tins record, there is
a large numbed of cases that have not
I,ccit reported by physicians. City Phy-
sieian Ncumon Taylor has requested

Gulls Stick in Fuel 03
Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. Tho Brook-
lyn waterfront in tho vicinity of Jo-
ralenion street was aroused early today
by the noise of savage combat. The
sounds came from the seamship Itu,
just in from South America, .and the
crowd of spectators on the docks could
make out two figures roiling on the
duel* of the vessel, clawing, scratching
and wielding knives.
Detective George Priday of head-
quarters staff station on Poplar street
went aboard the vessel and separated
tho combatants. They were Jules
Dee Santos, a creole, who said he was
of royal blood, and Luigi Barboglia,
who made claim to have Had royal Ar-
tec Indian and Italian ancerrors. Butft
were members of the Itu’s crew..
As near as could bo mane out from
their excited talk, the confinement to
the small area of the vessel of the
embodiments of so much royal, and
multi-colored blood couldn’t be borne
any longer so they determined it should
lie the survival of the fittest. Barbo-
gia employed a long, keen dirk, it was
said, and De Santos used the time
honored weapon of his race, a razor.

Stands for Wilson Peace
Cardif, Wales, Dec. 9—“The British
Labor party stands for a Wilson peace
hut it cannot be attained without an
effort," declared Arthur Henderson,
famous labor leader, in a campaign
address here today. Mr. Henderson
continued: “I pleaded for months that
President Wilson attend the peace con-
ference, for lie is the - greatest safe-
guard of labor.
It will he a miracle if Premier
ijoyd-George is not returned by
Urge majority, hut the hope of the
Labor party is that representation in
the next British government must go
their way or they will have to get out.
The dawn of labor’s day is breaking
hence the country is rushing into
general election.” ,

Houston, Texas, Dec. -9.—The speak-
ing campaign in the interest of the
Bed Cross Christmas Boll Call begins
on December 9, at which time a num-
ber of prominent men from Missouri
will arrive in Houston tp begin a
speaking tour of riouth and East Tex-
as. After being welcomed by B. F.
Bonner, director of the Bed Cross for
the .Southwestern Division, the men
will be assigned to various places in
the district for a two weeks’ caui-
paign.
One of these speakers, Mr. A. L.
Beeves, assistant insurance commis-
sioner of Missouri, »nd a prominent
lawyer and orator ot that state, will
in Orange (tomorrow), December
at which time he will deliver an
address to the people of that commu-
nity. He will have an interesting
story to tell of the work of the Bed
Cross.
Orange County is in the race for
one of the specially designed honor
flags to be awarded to that chapter
the Bed Cross which shows the
greatest percentage of its population
as members of the Bed Cross when the
present campaign is over on December
23d. In order to win the flag and
the honor that goes with it, the sup-
port and co-operation of every individ-
ual in Orange and in Orange County
is needed.^
The best way in which to evidence
that support is by joining the Bed
Cross. Membership costs $1.00, and
ho matter how wealthy a person is,
all of his riches could not buy him
more than erne membership, but the
individual who has a dollar to spare
besides his own' mewberSfiip fee can
put it to good use by buying a mem-
bership for one of the absent soldier
boys of Orange County.
It is expected that a large crowd
wilf bo on hand to listen to Mr
Beeves when he appears in Orange.

Washington, Dec. 9.—Arehdcueon
Stuck, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of St. Stephen’s Hospital ut Fort
Yukon, Alaska, hn» written from “the
most northerly hospital in nil North
America,” asking a special service
chevron for the hopital’s one rematn-
ing nurse to keep her ‘‘on the job.”
The American Bed Cross has granted
his request. **
“This hospital,” wrote Archdeacon
Stuck, “is the only place where medi-
cal relief cun be obtained in/ some-
thing like 50,000 square miles. The
nearest physician is up the Yukon at
Dawson, 350 miles away; the nearest
down the river at tho Hrmy post at
Port Gibson, 330 miles distant, and in
ail this wide winteflaad there is no
pkysieian, no nurse.
“This past'spring there wus nu in-
teresting illustration of the wide hae-
fulnoss of the institution, when tho
Arctic explorer Stcfansson, who had
been lying ill at Herschcl Island for
two or three months with typhoid
fever and the resulting eonipTlentius,
had himself hauled 400 miles on a dog-
sled to reach this hospital.”
TIN 1 ft ter was written to urge that
if possible the Kml Cross enroll Miss
NunviHai as a Red Cross nurse.
‘ • If it were necessary. ’ ’ continues
Archdeacon Stuck, Mto close this hos-
pital in order to win the war or tha:
our wounded simulp have proper care,
I. would unhesitatingly do so.
“But if it is possible that this work
so sadly needed and sot on foot at
so great an expense and with so much
difficulty may ^continue also, I ask
that this request, may be granted, that
Miss Nuuvillai may be fortified in her
resolve to remain hcrogr thus dis-
tinguished from mere slackers and ab-
sentees by the award of this special
service chevron.
“I may mention,” concludes the let-
ter, “that we are active supporters
of your admirable organization; that
this summer a Fort' Yukon branch
has been formed; that the natives in
their poverty, have given $80 toward
your purpose, and that the white men
(mainly trappers who are far afield
the winter and who do nor come were
but once or so for supplies) have con-
tribueti upward to $500.”
The ehovron was awarded to Miss
NunviHai and was forwarded (to her
on- one of the last boats sailing for
Alaska before the winter closed the
waters to navigation.

critical situation which developed
when Germans began their great-west-

“I shall never forget,” said Lloyd-
George, “that morning when I sent a
cable to President Wilson telling him
what the facts wore, and how it was
essential that we should get American
help at tho speediest possible rate, in-
viting him to send 120,900 infantry
and machine gunners per month to Ku
rope.
“If he did that, I said, we would do
our best to help carry them. I sent*
that telegram to Lord Beading and
the next day eanie n telegram from
President Wilson saying: ’Bend your
ships across and we will send the
120,000 men.’
Then I invited Sir Joseph McKay,
tbs shipping controller, to Downing
street and said: ‘Send every ship you
can.’ They were all engaged iio e*scn

W# rati risks with our food and we
ran risks with essential raw mate

to get these men across at all haz

America sent .1,900,000 men across
