Terred_with President Wilson on this | our ! ccuntry would suffer because of the lack of American ships and the extor-! creation ‘of an -American merchant marine.” ‘ Fine Chance Lost. "After referring to the failure of the ship purchases bill in the last gress Mr. McAdoo said: “'Had this bill been promptly passed i there is no doubt that a very consider- able number of ships couid have been bought at that time; that others could have been chartered, And the company would have been ready by this time to begin rendéring a substantial service to American commerce. ““Orders for other ships could have been placed in eur ship yvards and a large number of ships would already have been under construction. But if ships could not have been bought promptly the company had the au- thority to lease ships, as before stated, and, undoubtedly, a very considerable fleet of ‘vessels could have been as- scmbled by this time to carry our cot- ton and other American products upon vean war broke out, submitted to the ' Secretary McAdoo, who was sponsor | last sessicn 'of congress a oill for the | freight and with corresponding bene- fit to all of the American people. “The rapacity of foreign steamship owners would have been -checked. The competition by tne sovernment owned corporation would have com- pelled them to carry cargoes at reas- | onable rates and an immenge amount | of money would have been saved to the American manufacturcrss who ship their goods to foreign marxets.’ “There was no more important bill for the best interests of the South and the Southern people than this ship- ping bill. It was filibustered to death in the last senate of the United States Ly the republican party, atded, I r gret to say, by some democratic sena- tors. several of whom are from the south! T “It is time not only for the Scuthern pecple but for the American people tc Took this momentous shipp'ng prob- lem squarely in the face.

We need American chips not only for the expansion of our commerce but we imperatively re- quire them as auxiliariés ror our navy, ““Our navy is sorely handicapped to- day because there are not enough American ships of suitable tonnage and character to form an effective naval auxiliary in time of war. A modern navy without adequate and suitable naval auxiliaries is rendered helplesd for acensive operations at any considerable distance from its home base. “We would be justified today in spending $50,000,000 tc $60,000,000 for the creation of an adequate fleet of naval auxiliaries. These auxiliaries cculd be used in time of peace for the the high seas at reasonable rates of | lraining and education of the Ameri- can seamen, upon whose courage and valor and knowledge we should have to depend in the event of war, while in ! ime of peace they coula be used in the fruitful pursuit of trading with en- the industry and the prospedity of our country. “It is simply fatuous to hope that rrivate capital will provide these Private capital will not pro- vide them, even if the navigation laws, about which there is so much irre- sponsible talk, should be changed as private capital demands. 1 have never fcund even two capitalists who agree { g5 to what changes should be made in our navigation laws. i have yet {0 find any man who, although arguing that the only thing nccced to create xn American merchant marine is to 'ur navigation laws, has been able to tell how the navigation laws siaould be changed to guarantee the enlistment «f private capital. “Our capitalists in the shipping business—not because they cannot make money in the ship- | Ling -business, but bec they can 1aake more moncy in oiner directions Morcover, they are not fainiliar witia shipping enterprises anu will not en- gage in them on any large scale, no matter what inducements may be held out. “We cannot afford te enter upon the ind policy of subsidizing pri- vate corporation iduals. To subsidize is merely to make gifts from 1he treasury of the United States to those of the strong pull and the long pull, and to repeat ali the scandals and corruption which formerly char-' ucterizes the enactment of our !aril’f laws. Better to Buy Ships. “‘Instead of giving say $50,000,000 to are not interested : subsidize any private Interests it would be far better for the govern- ment to buy $50,000,000 worth of ships and operate them in the interest of our commerce in time or peace and have them effective naval auxiliaries in time of war.” Secretary McAdoo’s final appeal in the concluding paragraph of his let- ter to the South to work for the pass- sge of the ship purchase bill was in the following words: “If you want South American trade, if you want world trade, tne indispen- sable step is an American merchant marine to carry our commerce to the ends of the earth under the protection of Stars and Stripes. We shall never be able to carry our commerce to the ends of the earth under any foreign flag. “Let the South awake to her oppor- | tunity. Let her and tne rest of the country demand that the commerce of our country and the safety of our country be quickly assured by crea- tion of an American merchant marine, Lacked by a government administered in the interests of all the people and against all interests of the subsidists, the mossbacks and the obstructionists, “This is a time for action.

Rome, Aug. 6.—While life in the other great cities of Italy goes on much as usual during the war, with- out the usual summer air of festivity perhaps, and with a graver expres- sion on the faces of the inhabitanta, Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic, is transformed and the life of her peo- ple is entirely changed. The elegant hathers at the Lido are no more; the gondoliers wait sadly for passengers that do not come; the chatter and laughter of the gay luxurious cosmo- politan crowd at the Cafe Fiorian in the Piazza San Marco on the lovely summer evenings is no longer heard, for Venice, except when the moon shines, is plunged into darkness and houses or on the watler are strictly forbidden. Venice is determined that nothing shall be wanting on her part to frus-, trate the attacks of the enemy and to protect her treasures from bomb and fire. Black curtains are hung “over | the doors of shopes; dark paper dims | the light of the lamps, and the larger glass windows are painted black or blue so that they shall not reflect even the moonlight. Many of the treasures of Art from the famous Picture Gal- lery, the Ducal Palace, the Civic Museum and some of the churches have been removed; while those that remain have been protected by me- tallic shields and cupolas. The Ducal Palace is boarded up between its beautiful columns, while the marble corners are encased In brick; the Scala del Giganti, with its great sta- tutes of Mars and Neptune by San- sovino s covered with sacks of sand | while many parts of the exterior of materials. $15.00 Mattress . $15.50 Mattress . $25.00 Mattress (harr) aces are silent and de the ancient call of the & heard echoing “Keep good guard” habitants that they are ed over and protected, Under OQOur Si Optometrists Registared Sp B To Examine Fyes L Glasses When Neog FOR EYESTR. and Other Trouh Registe:od by (l'p(flllll‘ll'l\l 321 Main Sireet, the Basllica bf St. Mark's are also | Inside the church looks like a storehouse with | sacks of sand piled against the col- | umns, ‘the capifals—the statues and | the pulpit.
