SHIPS TO PLAY GREAT PART IN AFTER-WAR Sound Martime Policy Must be Adopted by U. S., National Trade Council Urges. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. Problems of Internal trade facing the United States after the war, including the need for a "sound national maritime policy" which would insure continued cperation under the American flag of ships built for war emergencies, were discussed here today at the annual meeting of the National Foreign Trade Council. The council organized In 1914, under the auspices of the American Manufacturers' Export Association, American Asiatic Association and the PanAmerican Society of the United States had at Its meeting today manufacturers, farmers, bankers and transportation men from all parts of the country. James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, presided. V With his fellow members on the committee on merchant marine, P. A. S. Franklin of New-York and Robert Dollar of San Francisco, Mr. Farrell presented a report which asserted that unless a "national policy was adopted "it may be set down as absolutely certain that the American merchant marine rehabilitated with vast expenditures of capital and effort as a war emergency measure, will again be dissipated under the operation of Inexorable economic laws." ." Should Charge Off Part. Asserting that private enterprise would refuse to invest the full $4,000,000,000 which it was estimated would have been expended in ship building by the nation by the end of the war, the correct procedure is that indicated by the chairman of the shipping board in his suggestion that the valuation of the vessels be written down, and that a portion of their cost be charged off to war service. This procedure would bo eminently Just as yell as absolutely .necessary to the permanent retention and operation of these vessels under our flag. "The war service rendered by these vessejs Is of the hlghestcharacter, not second to that of theguns and shells which they transport to the seat of war. But the shells are wholly written off; the entire cost 13 charged to the war service. Whatever valuation may be determined upon ultimately as fair and just these ships will represent a recovery of expenditure for the government Impossible in the case of vast disbursements for munitions." Points to Supreme Duty. In opening the meeting Mr. Farrell, declared that it is "our supreme duty tosee to It that the peace terms render impossible the continuance of conditions sought to be corrected or prevented by economic warfare." Referring to problems involving international relationship which affect America's foreign trade he said that "one with which we will be much concerned after the restoration of peace is that cf the negotiation of new commercial treaties to replace those that have been ruptured by the declaration

line, but the Huns are running so fast that they are now fifteen or twenty miles away," explains George E. Reed, Co. C, 301 Bataliion, American Tanks, France., "We are lying in dugouts made by the English, captured by the Germans, and again captured by the English. "I had the pleasure of seeing a Yank bring down one . of the Huns largest battle planes. i It had four motors-two-on reach'1de, and carried seven men. The fight was at night. With the aid of his searchlight the Yank sighted the plane, fired, then turned hl3 lights out. The Hun fired back, but had no luck, and before many sec onds Uncle Sam's man had the German machine on fire. One of the men came down in a parachute, but six were killed. The plane looked beautiful coming down all ablaze. . "Our company is nearly ready for business now. ; "The 27th of this month I will get a gold stripe for six' months overseas service. ;, "We had a big time last night: A New Zealand band came over and played. They were just back from the firing line on a four days' furlough. Speaking of music, we have two buglers in our company who have been trying for six months to learn to play, but have not had much luck yet. Some one stole the bugle3 last night, and FOUR RICHMOND MEN NOW IN RUSSIA Four Richmond boys are now serving in Russia: Leslie Sprouse, Harry Souer, Carl Young and Ross H. Miller. The following letter comes from Ross Miller, who says Russia is just about fifty years beh'nd the United States. "I am' not off the map, but I am in Northern Russia," he writes, "and it is sure a funny place as different as night from day. The houses are built of logs and the streets are cobble stone. No two cobble stones are the same size either, and our hob nail boots skid around like we were on ice skates. I "At a band concert we went to the other day there were seven countries represented England, France, Russia, Canada, Scotland, Australia, and the United States. When they played the Star Spangled Banner,' I felt a thrill that comes only once in a life-time I am sure. The band was American. When they played 'Dixie,' one fellow said to me 'Aren't you glad you're a Yankee?' And it did make one proud to be one. 1 "The people here all talk Russian and the papers are all printed in Russian so we cannot even get our papers printed in English. We are just about cut off from the rest of the world. Tell everybody to write, but also tell them it is sure hard to get a letter out of here. All our news has to come through letters, you see. We haven't received any mail since we left the States and when it comes I hope for a hundrede letters. - "Tell everybody I never felt better in my life and the rest of the Richmond bunch are the same."

Every door and every window may be a "heat escape. The heat goes out and the cold comes in. They're fighting the furnace every minute of the day and night. Protect these exposures with Storm Windows and Storm Doors - Houses equipped with storm windows and storm doors require from one-third to one-half less coal a fact that will instantly appeal to every thrifty householder in these days of coal shortage and high prices. The saving in coal in one or two seasons will pay for the cost of the storm windows and storm doors. O But their greatest boon is the insurance of your family's health and comfort this winter. A house with storm windows and storm doors can be kept warm in the severest winter weather it can be perfectly ventilated at all temperatures without cold-breeding drafts.
