War-time programs '.have become obsolete, and new sched ules must be worked out on a peace " time basis. This is as true of the . shipyard as of other industrial plants.. 'The announcement, therefore, that the Liberty yard's program would be cur tailed for the present did not come as V a surprise to those who have kept in cjose touch with the national situa tion. Since the war is over and the : world is entering upon an era of ex- - tensive trade, wherein the hue and cry will be for ships to carry on the com- ' merce of nations, it is natural that the trend in America's shipyards now - should be . toward the construction of more cargo carriers and fewer vessels ! adapted particularly for use during the war. It was not altogether unexpect ed, then, that the Liberty yard should toe asked by ther government to de Vote its time and effort to the . con- . Btruction of 3,500 ton merchant vessels and to hold up all work contemplated on the 7,500 ton oil tankers. The con crete yard held contracts for six of these tankers, and construction of one i of them had been started, but the 3,500 ton cargo carrier type of vessel will e given precedence from this time forward, according to announcement c made by General Manager Ferguson yesterday. ,Tt 1 In this way that America will be able to build tip her gTeat merchant ' marine, enabling her to compete V against all other nations for the larg est share of the world's trade. With ? the shipyards over the country engag ed in the construction of merchant ves sels, she will soon be well prepared ; to claim trade supremacy on the high . seas, and the American flag will be i carried into every port from the West ; Indies to Bombay. There will be no - let up in the work at the concrete i yard, officials of the plant say. The iwork will be continued with no change except that the workmen on Way No. 4 3, ' where preparations had been made to build the first tanker, will build X Instead a vessel of the 3,500 ton type. ' As General Manager Ferguson told? the shipbuilders yesterday, the need . for excessive speed in ship production : has passed and the demand now is for quality of production. To gain this, : the shipyard must employ workmen who, if they have not already had ex perience in shipbuilding, must at least t- show some aptitude for the work, . proving that they are capable of learn - ing and can adapt themselves to their surroundings. Naturally ammunition factories were the first to curtail work after hostilities ceased. Peter Van ". Geyt, manager of the service depart- ment, who spent Monday and Tuesday in Richmond and in Hopewell, Va., re- ; :t ports that the munition plants in that section have practically stopped work .altogether. This of course has releas ed a large supply of labor for use in the shipyards and . other industrial plants.' While in Richmond, Mr. Van Geyt secured four skilled men who A will be added to the force of shipbuild er, ers at the Liberty yard. One of these builders arrived yesterday morning, ,"' the other three were expected to ar ts rive last night. There is still a great need at the shipyards for workmen . . of 'the right kind. In the past when man-power was scarce, the shipyards fwere forced to hire any man who pre- presented himself, almost regardless - of 'his past experience and his quali ; ficatlons. But with thousands of sol- fliers being discharged daily from mili- tary service, such conditions no longer :U 'exist and the shipyards can pick their .'Workmen with greater care and with Mgo'eye towards building up strong or- . ganization which will be capable of building trade vessels for many years V to come. The shipyards, therefore, J are releasing many men whose abili- lies did not fit them for shipbuilding I f wid are , filling their places with more v; capable workers who will make it pos- tervous People substantial relief when Uiey change TOSTOM imsptxm not n er& or eny harmfniL , nerve darfcurb- m r lnrfrecuerxt. .1 N ' i l ,mmM i eoas i "1 cVlbjcv J t -a i (si 1 sible for them to come up to the scratch in reaching the standard of perfection required by "Uncle Charlie" Schwab and Chairman Hurley of the shipping ooard. ' General Manager Ferguson, Major Wilson, Mr. Linenthal and Mr. Nut left yesterday afternoon for Brunswick to attend the launching of the "Atlantus," which will be shoved off the way at the Liberty yard's sister plant Satur dav morning. No program of the christening has been sent to the Lib- A erty yard, but it is understood mat W. J. McDonald, of Boston, president of the Liberty Shipbuilding company, will be one of the speakers. On his return trip north, Mr. McDonald is expected to stop over here and visit Wilmington's concrete shipyard. Major Wilson, resident engineer of the Emergency Fleet corporation sat the Liberty yard, has received orders to report in Washington Monday for assignment to a new post. The major expects to be sent to France to aid in reconstruction work the American government will conduct in the devas tated provinces of that country. Ma jor Wilson has been in Uncle Sam's service 18 months, and he says that during that time he has been stationed in nearly every state in the union. Enlisting with the desire to go to France at once, he was sent every where else but to France. -Now, how ever, he believes his wish is about to materialize. A farewell meeting In his honor was held yesterday at noon in the club room of the restaurant, and all the shipbuilders gathered to bid him God-speed. As a token of their appreciation of his service and their high regard for him, a military wrist watch was presented to him at luncheon by General Manager Fergu son, who acted as spokesman for the shipbuilders And government employes connected with the plant. The "Henry Bacon," the dredge boat used in deepening the channel and cutting the slips at the Liberty yard, was moved Tuesday from the slip be tween Way No. 3 and Way No. 4 to the slip between Ways 1 and 2. Dredg ing on the slip at Way No. 3 has been completed and the boat will now com plete the work on the slip at Way No. 1. This slip has already been par tially dredged, but a depth of ap proximately three and a half feet of sand from the upper, or shore, end- is still to .be removed. The slips must have a depth of 17 feet at low tide and 20 1-2 feet at high tide in order to insure sufficient water for launch ing the vessels. DEVTIi AND THE DEEP BLUE If Peace Meeting Is Public Lenlnes If Secret Germans Paris, Nov. 21. Taking U. S. Sena tor Borah's declarations on publicity in connection with the discussions at the peace conference as a text the Tempt says editorially: "Publicity will have great advantage if it averts the irritating problems con taining the germs of future wars that secret treaties have implanted at cer tain points in Europe. It would be dangerous if it permitted Germany the means of organizing obstruction for, as things are going at Berlin, we shall find arrivin gas German representatives the same tricky, shameless agents who collaborated in the preparation of the war and who drejv up the Brest-Lit-ovsk and Bucharest treaties. If the negotiations are secret they will strive to Imitate Talleyrand; if they are pub lic, they will draw inspiration from Trotaky." ARMY AVIATORS WILL TOUR COUNTRY FOR MAP PURPOSES Washington, Nov. 21 In preparation for the department of aeronautics for peace time purposes, trained air pilots of the United States army will make a series of cross-country reconnais sance flights to chart important air lanes, compile air maps, locate landing fields and select sites for airdromes. The war department announced to day that beginning Friday army planes from flying fields in various parts of the country will begin a series of flights between the principal cities in their districts for the charting1 of air lanes that will eventually become part of a "great chain air-linking every im portant community in the country." The reconnaissance work, it was said, will be extended as fast as arrange merit's can be made. From a military standpoint the an nouncement said the work will be anal- agouse to that performed in the past by cavalry, now supplanted by air pdanes as the- eyes of the army. Just as American cavalry then prepared for tne emergencies or war Dy cnarting in strategetically important districts, good and bad roads, fords and bridges, so the air forces of an army it was pointed, out, must Know courses lor a safe journey, the landing fields, sta tions for gas and oil supply, and air dromes. Col. F. M. Davis, head of the training section of the air service, has been placed in charge of the recon naissance work. KINSTON UNION STATION Chamber of Commerce Write McAdoo About It. (Special Star Correspondence.) Kinston, Nov. 21. The chamber of commerce, following up its letter to the corporation commission at Raleigh urging immediate erection of the local union passenger station, has written Director-General McAdoo asking that the depot here be one of the first build ings ordered with the resumption of construction' work. The history of Kinston's efforts for the station was summed up in a paragraph ' and the need for the building, held by the chamber to be pressing, was stressed The station was ordered by the com mission at Raleigh several years ago, Differences over the plans, cost, etc., and the war have delayed construction.

C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1918.' TARHEEL SAYS IT QUICKLY HELPED HIS WIFE She'd Twist and Turn All Through the Night But Now She Sleeps Like a Baby Tells What Did It. The burdens of life are not equally borne by men and women. Women too often suffer from some weakness that was never -intended for them by nature. When trouble or hard work or ex citement have rendered the nerves so wide-awake that sleep is denied, the over-tired brain must be helped to get quickly back to its healthy normal con dition, or serious mischief ensues. Dreco, the wonderful herbal medi cine, aims to accomplish this as' noth ing else ever has done. Its mission is to bring the disabled, debilitated, ner vous tissues the peculiar nerve food which theymust have to build up their parts. i "My wife suffered terribly from pains in the back and limbs, constipa tion, headaches, and, worst of all, sleeplessness," declares the well known Tar Heel farmer, R.

We're mighty glad we did that now because it certainly gave us splendid results. My wife sleeps like a baby now, all night long. Her pains are gone and she now has a good appetite, the first time for years. I want three more bottles of Dreco now, so we both can take it as I believe it will make me feel 20 years younger. Dreco is known throughout the Tar heel State as the one herbal medicine that accomplishes results in cases of severe stomach trouble, constipation, rheumatism and similar ills. It is sold by all good druggists and is recommended strongly In Wilmington by Hardin's drug store. adv. OVER 2,000 ENGLISHMEN CAN'T BE ACCOUNTED FOR Were Captured at Knt by the Turks and Believed Now That They Per ished Miserably. London, Nov. 21 A "white paper" on the treatment of British prisoners in Turkey was issued today. It shows that of 16,583 prisoners taken by the Turks 3,290 are reported to be dead wliile no trace can be found of 2,222 others and it is believed they have perished. These latter prisoners were all captured at Kut-El-Amara, so it is certain they passed living into Turk- sh hands, but no word has been heard from them. . The Kut prisoners were forced to march across the desert to Asia Minor without food or medical attention. As result the white paper says "parties of men were lying exhausted under a"hy shelter they could find in all stages of dysentery and starvation, some dying, some dead, half clothed and without boots, having sold everything to buy a little milk."

It is a rare treat and would well repay every one to come early. Grand. More captivating than in "The Venus Model" is the prediction made by Gold wyn for Mabel Normand when she appears at the Grand theatre in her new play, ''Back to the Woods," today only. The decidedly different little actress goes on gatehring legions of new ad mirers, and the old ones never leave her. She is easily the most remark able star of polite comedy to be seen today. What is more, Mabel Normand never disappoints. No matter what the vehicle, she is always a star in her own right. Gay, sparkling and very beautiful, her wonderful eyes and sure sense of comedy make any production in which she appears a sure-fire at traction. As popular in the Orient as she is in the smallest American town, and al ways assured of a Broadway run when she makes her appearance in Goldwyn productions, Mabel Normand is at the zenith of her singularly brilliant ca reer as a cinema favorite. Pictured in magazines, featured in newspapers, with popular songs, chocolates and ar ticles of feminine attire bearing her name, Mabel' Normand's is a name to conjure' fwith. Bijou.

Speeding through a choppy sea at eighteen Knots an hour, the hero in a fast motor boat gradually overhauls a larger, vessel, on board of which is the girl he loves, in the hands of his enemies. With the throttles of both vessels wide open, the desperate race con tinues mile after mile until land is lost sight of, and the advantage gained by either vessel is often lost as great seas break over the boats. Deciding to take a desperate chance, the hero drives his craft as close to j the larger boat as the wash from the latter will allow, and, abandoning his steering wheel, leaps the chasm of water and clutches the gunwale 61 the big yacht. Such is the description of one of the most daring and sensational mo ments in "The Brass Bullet," the new Universal serial, featuring the popu lar actress, Jaunlta Hansen, under the direction of Ben Wilson.

THIN PEOPLE NEED BITR0 PHOSPHATE Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force in Two Weeks' Time in Many In stances. "Take plain bitro-phosphate" is the advice of physicians to thin, delicate, nervous neoDle who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this prep aration to warrant the recommenda tion. Moreover, if we judge from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de ficiency so well as the organic phos phate known among druggists as bitro phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Bellamy and most all drug gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money tjack. ''By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body Josephine Davis, the charming ac tress saysi It s remarkable what BITRO-PHOSPHATE did for me, After a few days I began to regain my strength, felt full of life,, slept soundly and gained twelve pounds in tour weeks. cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's Hospital, N. Y. C, showed that two patients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds, respectively, , through the ad ministration of this organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for the past twelve years. This increase in weight also carries With it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Physicians and hospitals everywhere are now recognizing its merits by its use in every increasing quantities. Frederick Kolle, M. D., editor of New York Physicians, "Who's Who,"' says: "Bitro-Phosphate should be prescribed by ,every doctor and used in every hos pital to increase strength and nejrve force and to enrich the blood." Joseph D. Harrigan, Former Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dispensa tory, says: - "Let those who are weak, thin, nervous, anaemic, or run-down, take a natural, unadulterated sub stance such as bitro-phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing re sults in the increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance." Bitro-Phosphate is made entirely of the organic phosphate compound re ferred to in the National Standard Dis pensatory as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a preparation which has recently acquired considerable rep utation in the treatment of neuras thenia. The standard of excellence, strength and purity of its substance is beyond question, for every Bitro-Phosphate tablet is manufactured in strict accordance with the U. S. Pharma copoeia test requirements. Bitro-Phosphate is therefore not a patent medi cine and should not be confused with any of the secret nostrums, so-'Called tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls." CAUTION: Although Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving ner vousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, owing to its remarkable flesh growing properties it should not be used by anyone who does not de sire to put on flesh. ' Although there are scores of patent medicines, formulas and antacids for stomach acidity, gastritis, indigestion and dyspepsia, there is nothing more effective in the treatment of these ail ments than ordinary serathol which can be obtained at Bellamy's or any good drug store at trifling cost. Many a sufferer from these complaints has been .agreeably surprised at the. almost instantaneous relief and subsequent permanent, benefit - from its use.
