Concerning this increase in wages the gtone Ship carried the following arti cle in last week's issue: "The shipbuilding labor adjustment board has arrived at a new rats of wa&e for the shipworker and same 18 to go into effect Thursaay ot this week, November 14. The board has carefully gone into the rising cost of living, the conditions under' which the Then work, their hours, etc. "The fates are to become retroac tive, beginning October 3, the first pay day in October. It will take some tirqe, to figure out the backpay the men are to receive, but we can all rest assured ' that this work is being done as rapidly es possible, and we must sit steady in the boat. "The new rates will be posted on the arious bulletin boards in the yard from which each man can see just Ji6w he is to ,be affected by the new echedule. ' ' , "Just a little suggestion as to this ,tackpay, fellows. Don't you think it would be a good idea to remember 'thi when we make our pledges for the :Wr work fund. It might help the e4gles to fly a little easier." .While at luncheon at noon yester day, the shipbuilders at the Liberty iyard were treated to a special perform ance by the red-coated music makers Connected with Gus Hill's aggregation tf black-face comedians. After her ildlng the show's opening performance by parading down Front street, the Blinstrel band went to the concrete shipyard and serenaded the shipbuild er! at lunch in the yard's new res taurant. They played such heart-mov-ilng, foot-jigging tunes that one ship builder simply bubbled over with joy And' shouted above the rattle of the kettle-drum, "Boys, I will sho be I. there!" Peter J. Van Geyt, manager of the 'Service department, received ur.expect " -d notice late yesterday afternoon to paek his 'little grip and prepare to Itake a trvp.

In fact he Is iuch a frequent' visitor that he has Struck up ah acquaintance with all the guards and gate-keepers and a.ny Of the workmen who will notice him. For this canine if he has a name he hasn't mentioned it is blessed with a friendly and confiding deposition. That and his intelligent brown eyes 'And abbreviated tail are his distin guishing traits.

He boards the street ear every morn ins when the workmen go out to the yard and return on the car each af ternoon. No one at the shipyard own him, and it is doubtful if he ha an owner. But each morning when the shipyard car passes he gets on it, pro vided he can find some human who is also bent on ffoing to the shipyard. For being only a dog; after all, he has no way of signalling the conduc tor except by "wig.-wafffling, and hi code is one that ail conductors do not understand. Jtow he know which car to take is a question hie Intelli gent dogehip hasn't explained. Per haps he recognise the faces of the shipbuilder's, through frequent asso ciation with them, and so knows which crowd of workmen, to follow. After boarding the car he does not content himself by curling Up in some corner out of notice, but prefers to take a seat, if he can find one vacant, where he sits up as straight and importantly as a small-town politician on parade. This performance occurs almost daily; in fact, he is such a frequent passeng er that the conductors ,on the shipyard j cars have threatened to look his own- er up and collect fares. He is quite a ; nice doggie and has made many friends, 'but such an ' unusual displaj of intelligence is'urtcanny in a canine. IMPORTANCE OP NAVY OVER SEAS TRANSPORTATION WORK During Coming: Months of Peee They Will Take Orer Merchant Murine. I In an article on the naval overseas transportation service, a branch of na val activity that has in its keeping the opraion of vessels for the delivery of men and cargoes in France, the Charleston Post says as many as 200 officers and men will be needed In the sixth naval district to look after the 1 ! business of the service, in view of the ! tremendous job of finishing up the mil- j itary and naval transportation of men j ana cargoes, ana men me operation of the shipping boards treat fleet of merchant marine. The establishment of headquarters for the service at Charleston means, of course, a branch of it at this port. The Post, speaking of the job these men have handled, says: "In the opinion of those who appre ciate the work of the N. Q. T. 9. there is no more brilliant achievement in the history of America's participation in the present war than that of the Amer ican naval officers who have organized And dvlan1 thli dnrtmnt. Start ling with a few navy supply ships and army transports, a limited number of officers and men of the regular navy and a small body of the naval reserves, the personnel of this service has been built up to 2,200 officers and 25,000 en listed men. "As well described in an article re cently published in the North Ameri can Weekly Review only practical shipping men at first hand can form an adequate conception of the mass of detail involved in the conduct of this service. A vast amount of data must be procured as each vessel is turned over to the service; as for in stance, the speed of the vessel in a calm' sea, in a moderate sea, and in a rough sea; the dimensions and carry ing capacity of the ship; the dimen sions and power of the engines and boilers; the capacity of her' bunkers and cargo space; the draft both light and loaded; her refrigerator space; amount of wireless equipment; size and location of hatches; location and power.of winches and booms. "Spare parts must be accumulated and their exact location known at all times. The location of the vessel must be constantly ascertained and record ed; the amount of her fuel must be known and the availability of addi tional coal and ollr the availability of labor for loading and unloading at for eign and domestic ports. "The N. O. T. S., for instance, may be called on to officer and man a ship upon a moment's notice. Repairs of a complicated nature may be called for by a ship returning; to his home port. Wireless advice of the presence of sub marines often necessitates changes of route on an instant's notice. The safe ty of the ship's and their valuable car goes of lives and treasure must be ef fected and the return trip made on schedule time. "During the forthcoming year, If the present plans of the shipping board are materialised the fleet of the N. O. T. 3. will be Increased to 2,400 vessels. The estimated value of the several hundred it now operates is placed at $.1,000,000,000. What the value will reach when the ships now building are completed can only be surmised. To officer and man this vast fleet will re quire the services of 22,000 officers and 200,000 men, practically all of whom must be trained as the requirements of the regular navy demand all the time Of its regular, forces." Q,nestloianlirN Kent Out The local draft board has completed the work of sending out queetonnairea to 18-year-old registrants. These reg istrants are urged to fill out) their questionnaires and return them to the board without delay. Chairman J. Allan Taylor urges that they be sent back to the board, properly filled out within the seven-day period allowed the registrants. The draft board ex pects to finish up all work by the last of November. FOOTBALL, ftfittTLTS. At Kew York! Princeton 28; Damp Upton, 7. At Minneapolis: Minnesota, 6; Wis consin.O. .

Hawes, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hawes of Atkinson, who left a flour ishing practice at Dover, a young wife and child, and his loved ones in At kinson, to go with the Stuart Me Guire unit to a base hospital in France to serve his country and his heroic Countrymen. While doing his duty he fell victim to' influenza. He was only 31 years of age, a mem ber of the Episcopal church, gradu ate ot the College of Medicine in Rich mond, a Mason, an Elk, Modern Wood man of the World and a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. His bereaved wife, who was Miss Lena White of Belhaven, has. received the following letter from France: "It is with deep sorrow that the commanding officer announces the death of First Lieutenant Stephen J.

Always conscientious and willing, ready to do his duty Un der circumstances often most difficult, a capable officer and a gentleman, he endeared himself to all the members of this command. Following an at tack of influenza, contracted while on duty in most inclement weather, pneu monia quickly supervened, causing his death. "In behalf of all members of this Command, .the commanding officer ex tend to his bereaved family their heartfelt sympathy in their loss.

We believe we express their sentiment in simply referring the a-bove advertisement of the board, through a member, at the meeting to be held Monday, if they decide to give any consideration to the grand Jury recommendations. - "Since the grand jury has been dis missed, the entire question is now in the hands of the school authorities. If the parents of the 700 children feel satisfied with .the situation, after the above quoted definite statement from a member of the board of education that their children's lives are in peril, the grand jury at least feel that they have -done their .full duty as citizens in calling the grave question to the attention of the educational board.
