He was reported to be .-lit a ase hospital in France, and later ?ain he was listed among the cas- jalties as having died of wounds re vived in action. And as he didn't aake any further noise as far as news coming to his people was concerned, it feas taken for granted that the cas- lalty list was correct the second time, If it was joyfully inaccurate the first lime. So, the days passed by and his death kn mourned. Next a representative if the government journeyed to Wal- on and drew up the necessary docu ments to insure the payment to those balified of the government war risk insurance. The proceedings were car- pied out accordingly, and after assur- ng his parents that the insurance kould be forthcoming, the govern- pent's representative betook himself o the depot, boarded a train and re urned to the national capital. It was hen accepted as a settled fact that lieutenant Clark was. dead.

JJL XXV MSTANT POSTUM "I want to give two days to the boys." The speaker was a laborer at the Liberty shipyard, Just, an ordinary workman with toil-calloused hands, struggling for the necessities of life, even as wou and L but his heart had been fired with a noble purpose and he wanted to show as best he could his appreciation of the boys who have fought for their country. At first the service manager did not understand, and asked: "What do you mean?" "I want to give to the boys over there r-to the soldiers part of my wages. They've been fighting for us, and I feel we should do something for them. If they are willing to die for us, we certainly should be willing to sacrifice a few dollars for them." He did not say it all in exactly those words, because speeches of that kind do not come easy to him, but his eyes and the expression on his face said it and spoke volumes besides. And that is just the spirit of the shipbuild ers in the united war work campaign. They feel that inasmuch as they were permitted to stay at home and earn good wages while other men went to the battle front and faced shot and shell and other things much worse than mere death perpetrated by the blonde beasts, they should now give a part o ftheir wages to care for the soldiers during one of the most crucial periods of the whole struggle the period of reconstruction. And they are giving their wages, giving them not merely from, a sense of duty, but out of pure thankfulness for the great ser vice rendered by the boys at the front. The united war work campaign open ed in earnest at the concrete shipyard yesterday at noon, and before the whistle had blown at the closing hour yesterday afternoon nearly every man on the yard had given a day's wages to the cause ,aud some of them had given two and even three day's pay. During half a nhour at the service de partment pledges for several hundred dollars were handed to the service manager. In fact, the pledges came in so rapidly that practically all other work had to be suspended in order t ohandle them. Roger Moore, James H. Cowan, W. E. Stone and J. A. Stewart delivered addresses to the shipbuilders during the noon hour and aroused their enthusiasm in the united war work campaign to a high pitch. Mr. Stewart was foifraerly a member of the Canadian regiment. Princess Pat, and has seen many months of service on the British front. He volunteered for service with the Canadian troops and went overseas soon after Great Britain entered the war. While at the front he was disabled and invalided home. After hearing the talks of the three speakers, the shipbuilders were given an opportunity to subscribe to the war work drive. Pledge cards Were distributed by. each foreman to men on his force, and before the day's work ended many of the foremen reported that their gangs had subscribed 100 per cent. No definite goal has been set for the shipbuilders in the war work drive, but Service Manager Van Geyt, di rector of the campaign at the concrete yard, feels confident that before the drive is over every man" at the yard will have pledged himself to give no less than one day's wages. ' The Liberty shipyard has discontinu ed all over-time and Sunday work in accordance with instructions received from the shipping board. The concrete shipbuilders now come to work at 6:30 o'clock in the morning and leave at 3:30 o'clock each afternoon, two hour earlier than they have been accusomt ed to leaving. This will in no way check the speed of ship production, it is stated, as a second shift of work men go on duty in the carpenter shop and mold loft at 3:30 o'clock and work until 11:30 at night. For the present only one shift will be employed upon the ways, but it is probable that con ditions will later justify the use of two shifts there also. Work is going forward in the carpenter shop and mold loft with all possible speed so that the ship forms staging and shoring may be constructed and sent to the ways with out delay. There is no doubt in the minds of shipbuilding officials about the perman ency of Wilmington's Concrete ship yard, and many of them expect to see it develop within a few years into an eight-way yard. Whether or not the yard will be permanent depends in a large measure upon the men working in it, declared one of the shipbuilding official yesterday. Chairman. Hurley, of the United States shipping board, has stated that only those yards will be continued in operation after the war whose record for efficiency and quality of production measures up to the standard set by the shipping board. Mr. Hurley has stated that the shipyards not coming up to the mark in efficiency and economy of operation would die a natural death within a very short time, while the yards proving them selves capable of building ships as they should be built would continue to build ships for commerce for many years to come. , The Liberty shipyard was the flrst concrete shipyard established on the Atlantic coast; consequently it is farther advanced than any of the other yards. The concrete shipbuilders are now concentrating their time and ef forts entirely on ship construction in order to lauch a concrete ship as soon as possible and prove what really good work they are capable of doing. That the yard will be a permanent factor in the city's industrial life is assured, war or peace. A training school is to teach the fore men of the concrete shipyard the pro per names to attach to the parts of the ship they are building. There are many technical phrases in shipbuild ing, particularly in engineering and de signing, that have before been heard In this neck o' the woods, and in order to acquaint themselves with these new terms and their meanings, classes have been organized in the foremen's club which will meet once a week to hear technical lectures on ship construction. The speakers will be men connected with the engineering department whose training and long association with technical terms qualify them to instruct the foremen on many subjects of interest in connection with their work.

TWENTY AMERICANS FREED BY GERMANS 600 Italians Who Had Been Employed by Germans Told to Leave If They Wanted Flood. WAR THREATENED BET W WEN MAJOR AND MINOR LEAGUES Peoria, 111., Nov. 14. War between the major leagues and minor organi zations of the country threatens to de velop as a result of the action taken at the meeting of the national asso ciation of professional baseball leag ues here today protesting against the privileges of the major, leagues to draft star players from the minors. The .protest was embodied in a reso lution drawn by A. E. Tearney, of Chicago, president of the Three I league. The resolution demanded that the American and National leagues re linquish the -right of the draft and also the practice of "farming out" players under the optional agreement. It was adopted without a dissenting vote. ' . Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American association, urged the minor league organization to withdraw from the national agreement with the ma pors if the demand is refused. A com mittee, was appointed to present the protest: to the national - baseball com-, mission at its first meeting. With the American Army in France, Nov. 14. 7:45 p. m. (By the Associat ed Press). Twenty Americans taken prisoner by the Germans recently were freed late today and reached the American lines opposite the first army. During the day more than 500 Italians whom the Germans had employed as road workers crossed the American front. They asserted that the Germans told them that they had better start southward immediately if they desir ed food. As a further Indication that the Ger man withdrawal has begun came re ports today from various parts of the front that explosions were being heard. It is believed the Germans are destroy ing their old shells and ammunition dumps in exces of the ammunition which is to be turned over to the al lies, according vto the terms of the armistice. The 32nd division reported explo sions in the direction of Muzeray and two heavy explosions in the direction of Etain, which were followed later by lighter detonations. Other explo sions were heard beyond Merles and in that region this afternoon. German Soldier Leave Front. Amsterdam, Nov. 14.
