IS ANDHARBORD URGE MORE SHIPS Merchant Marine as War Aid Stressed in Notes to Mail Inquiry. The need of building and maintain- ing the United States merchant ma- rine as an arm »f the national defense was emphasized today in letters writ- ten to First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral W. W. Howes by Admiral William S. Sims, U. S. N, retired, and Maj. Gen. James B. Harbord, U. S. A, re- tired, both of whom held important commands during the World War. The letters were submitted to Mr. Howes, who is presiding over the Post Office Department's inquiry into ocean mail contracts, by counsel for the Grace Steamship Co. War Experience Cited. Admiral Sims commanded the United States naval forces during the | World War. He wrote from his home | in Boston: “When we entered the war in 1917 | our merchant marine alone was quite ' incapable of transporting our own sup- plies and troops to Europe in time to assist the allies in their extremity. Quite half of them were taken over in foreign vessels. principally those of | Great Britain. The exact figures are | available in official reports. They show that we and the allies escaped defeat by a very narrow margin * * *. In| a war in which it was not in the in- | terest of any other country to assist | us with their merchant vessels, we thould be very seriously, and perhaps fatally, handicapped. | “As commander of the United States naval forces operating in European waters, I shared the extreme anxiety ' with which the question of ships was regarded by the governments of the allies. Each day the curve of de-! struction by submarines on the curve of shipbuilding by the United States | and Great Britain were anxiously | platted in the hope that the former | would decrease and the latter increase until they crossed and showed bu)ld- ing to be ahead of destruction. Expense Defended. | “To military men it is, of course, | self-evident that the building and | maintenance of our merchant marine | should be encouraged by every prac- | ticable means. Though this would in- | volve considerable expense, it would be a relatively small expense com- pared with the cost of hurriedly build- ing a fleet of merchantmen after war | had been declared—a measure which would be possible only when condi- | tions were such that other nations were able and willing to assist us dur- ing the delay. It would seem, there- | fore, that it is directly in the public interest at least to continue the as- sistance at present given to our mer- | chant marine, for without this assist- ance not only would part of their | service be diminished or given up. but also in the absence of the assurance of such assistance as a continuous Government policy, development would be arrested and no progress could wisely be made in building up the fleet.” Harbord Stresses Need. Gen, Harbord, who commanded the gervice of supply of the A. E. F., also emphasized the fact that the United States carried, but 45 per cent of its | own troops to France in American ships and that a large part of these were former German vessels interned in American ports and seized by the United States Government when it entered the war. He added: “There may be some questioning of the statement that America won the | war, but no reasonable person can doubt that but for the American ef- fort the World War would have been lost. The statistics of shipping show how it was possible for us to transport the men and supplies necessary to do | the job. It could not have been done without ships. Anything that dimin- | ishes the numbers or efficiency of the ‘American merchant marine militates directly against our national defense | in war.” SOLEMN NOVENA BEGINS Masses in Honor of Immaculate Conception to Last Until Dec. 8.

Royal Wedding Danger of 4ssassms Passes By the Associated Press, | LONDON, November 30.—Staid London celebrated until an early hour | today the wedding of Princess Marina | and the Duke of Kent, while the royal couple were in honeymoon re- | treat at Himley Hall, country home of the Earl of Dudley. They were received only by serv- ants when they arrived at the large country house last night, after a trip through the English country- side before cheering throngs. Excited crowds in London kept up the celebrations until long after mid- night. Once or twice knots of “row- dies” clashed with police Lord Trenchard, chief commissioner of London police, expressed gratifica- | tion at the success of the handling of the immense crowds and the protec- tion given foreign royalty against possible assassins. A special train took the Duke and his bride to Himley Hall, in the Worcestershire coal region, following | their double wedding ceremony yester- | day. The Duke and Duchess are expected | to join King George and Queen Mary | at Sandringham for the Christmas holidays. Then they will extend their honeymoon to the continent, traveling ultimately to Italy. Today is Marina's birthday—her 28th. The Duke will be 32 on De- cember 20. The exodus of many of the more than 70 members of visiting royalty here for the ceremony began this morning. Marina's parents, Prince and Prin- cess Nicholas of Greece, left for Paris . y .

King Haakon and Queen Maude of Norway are remaining for a few days. A huge crowd saw Marina and the Duke off following the double cere- mony—the Anglican at Westminster | Abbey and the Greek Orthodox at Buckmgham Palace. The new Duchess wore a fur coat and a green hat when she boarded the train, and carried a large bouquet. It was estimated that more than 500.000 spectators caught glimpses of the pro- cessions atteridant upon the cere- monies. Outside the palace yesterday thou- sands clamored for a sight of the Duke and his new Duchess. When they ap- peared on the balcony, waving their hands, the ovation was lengthy and | vigorous. Then King George and Queen Mary appeared beside them. King George gave a homely note to the ovation by bending down and lifting up his little granddaughter, | Princess Margaret Rose. When the Duke and Duchess Ierz‘ for Paddington railway station and | their train to Himley, they were pursued through the fore- court of the castle by the Prince of ‘Wales and the Duke and Duchess o!‘ York, who threw tiny silver shoes | and rose petals at the departing| couple.
