The ship forms are also going up rapidly on Way No. 2, and it will be only a short time before the steel workers can begin placing the steel there. Then the inner forms will be erected, the concrete poured, and pres to! the ship is finished. During the recent epidemic of Span ish influenza when so many ship builders fell victims to the scourge, the Liberty Shipbuilding company opened a special hospital on Grace street to care for its men during their illness. In procuring supplies for the patients the Liberty shipyard was greatly aided by various merchants in the city who co-operated willingly and freely. Some of the merchants, it is stated at the shipyard, would not take any remuneration for supplies pur chased for the influenza patients, re ceipting their bills and refusing the proffered money. And in many cases where tthe bills were very large, the merchants sold the supplies at cost and refused to accept any profit. In order to publicly thank the merchants for their generosity, the Liberty Ship-, building company has issued the fol lowing letter: "The emergency hospital of the Lib erty Shipbuilding company wishes to publicly acknowledge appreciation of the liberality shown by the merchants of Wilmington during the recent epi demic. "In purchasing supplies for ,our hos pital we were promptly and courteous ly served, special prices and discounts were generously given and we feel confident that most every merchant we purchased goods of relinquished his legitimate profit for the good of the cause and for the benefit of the citizens of Wilmington. "We would therefore especially re commend to the consideration of the 'buying public-the following merchants who served us so well: "Armour & Co., The Bulenthenthal Co., Belk Bros., Bryan & Bowden, Bat sons' market, Robert R. Bellamy, Bear Produce & Merchandise Co., Belk Wil liams, Co., Elvington's Pharmacy, Greens' Drug Store, N. Humphrey, Jarman & Futrelle, N. Jacobi Hard ware Co., J. W. Murchison, Co., North am's Book & Stationery store, Frank M. Ross, Royal Bakery, Shands' Gro cery, The Wilmington Furniture Co., The Wilmington Grocery Co., C. W. Yates Co., John Nichols. '"We have no doubt but what most every other merchant would have been equally as liberal if we had had oc casion to make purchases of them. "We also wish to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to the National Spe cial Aid and the Housewives League who were so prompt and generous in their donations. "We have attempted to thank per sonally all who gave o their time and strength and would add to this list those who gave such efficient aid through the use of their automobiles. "Last but not least we want to thank our own workmen who worked day and night and refused to accept any pay for overtime. "LIBERTY SHIPBUILDING CO." A noteworthy instance of the call of the shipyards to patriotic Americans is told of in Full Speed Ahead, yard pa per of the Pacific Coast Shipbuilding company, upper Suisun Bay, near San Francisco. The paper says: " 'I wanted to be vnere I could do the most good for the country. I thought it was a duty to help. So here I am.' "That's what H. A. Rudd said as he stood watching the big gantry crane swing a 50-foot piece of steel as eas ilyvas a man would handle a railroad spike. Officially Rudd is the postmas ter at Walnut Creek, Contra Costa county, California. But during dork ing hours he's the checker for the gantry crane. "The postofnee work over at Wal nut Creek is being handled by Mrs. Rudd and their daughter, Miss Marie Rudd, who is in her last year of high school. After he's through with the shipyard tasks of the day, Rudd helps in the postofnee. "For five years he has been postmas ter, but Monday, October 14, he joined the Pacific Coast Shipbuilding com pany's force. " 'The postofnee didn't require my full time, he said, after he'd been on the shipyard job several, days and was full in the swing of, his war-time work. 'It didn't seem right to me to go along there in the same old way, when the country needed men in shipyards just as much as at the front; it was clear to me that I ought to do something for America, as my family could handle the postal work, with my help in the evenings. So I came over here. " 'It seemed at first that there was plenty of exercise to the new job, but a man soon gets used to tha especial ly when it's for a cause lik this. " 'There are lots of others who could help Uncle Sam this way, I'm sure. To me it seems' just the right thing to do.'" Edward Westfield, actor, playwright and producer, recently went to work in this yard, his motives being similar to those of Rudd. Emergency Fleet News. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT ON WOMAN, NEGRO'. IS LYNCHED Fredericksburg, Va., Nov. 29. Allie Thompson, a negro, charged with as sault upon a white woman, was taken from jail by a mob and lynched in Culpepper county sunday night, it be came known here today. Two men went to the jail with a man bound in ropes. The jailors believed their story that they had a prisoner and opened the jail d,oor. Fifteen mask ed men stepped inside, overpowered the jailor and quietly took the negro from a cell. At-daybreak the body of the negro was found dangling from a tree pn the Rixeyville road, three miles from Culpepper. The , identity of the members of the mob is unknown. DINNER GIVEN KING GEORGE NOTABLE EVENT "We Have Suffered Together and Are United Forever, Say Polncare In Giving, a Toast. Paris, Nov. 29. (Havas) The din ner given to King George at the Elesee Palace last night by President Poin care, the Paris newspapers declare was one of the most notable event in the history of Great Britain and France. President Poincare, in toasting Great Britain, recalled the agreement made between the two countries in 1904 and the efforts of both Great Britain and France to avoid war in 1914. He de clared Great Britain by her naval, mil itary end moral effort during the war had added an incomparable chapter to her splendid history. He praised the work of the British army and the ef forts of the British navy, concluding: "The pre-war friendship has changed into an active alliance which will find in the peace negotiations a new utility. We have suffered together and won together and are united forever." King George expressed his great pleasure in being in Paris, the capital of the country with which he and his people had shared the misfortune as well as the victories of war. He recall ed the vain efforts of the Germans to capture Paris and the final triumphant campaign of the allies under the di rection of Marshal Foch. Both nations, he added, had struggled for civiliza tion and right and had learned to ap preciate each other, and he hoped that the Union of hearts and interests, re sulting from the war, would always aid to the maintenance of peace. He also paid tribute to France's heroic dead and toasted the future happiness and prosperity of the- French people.

The ship will be permanently stationed here for the. training of - young officers for the .marine , service it, "The Bird of Paradise," a drama of Americans and modern Hawaii, will be seen here at the Academy of Music on next Wednesday, December 4. The play is "by Richard Walton Tully, the author of "The Flame," "The Rose of the Ranco," and other pieces of al most equal renown. There is a love story in the play the love of Paul Wilson, a young physician, and "Luana," the beautiful "child of Mount Pele," the sacred vol cano, whom ail good Kanakas worship wherever the ancient Gods are not for gotten. In this play the American abroad, both as trader and as missionary, is better described than in any other drama which has been written, and indeed Mr. Tully's accuracy has sel dom been equalled in books. The fu tility of trying to make over an epo chal visualization in a decade, and the prevailing instinct for money-making, both receive their touch of gentle but certain satire at Mr. Tully's pen. Prices will range from 50 cents, to $1.50. War tax extra. Tickets wilh go on sale at Elvington's Tuesday. sees them will feel a keen and per sonal interest in. f; "Nuts and Noodles" is'' the title of today's big two-reel L-Ko Komfidy scream, and it's a scream from begin ning to end, with that funny "Chink" playing a' leading role. There -will also be a big Pathe reel and an educational scenic picture of rare beauty and interest. Grand "I'm So Happy." "I'm So Happy," a rollicking musical farce comedy in which Frederick V. Bowers is starring this season, will be at the Academy of Music on next Fri day night, December 6th. Mr. Bower's new -vehicle has much to whet your interest as it is a farce comedy with music. The action is said to be the fastest vehicle on the stage today, with pretty touches of sentiment and a lively strain of humor. Many laughs are tucked away in the "brisk dialogue and the audiences have no difficulty in finding them. ' Victor Gabery is responsible for the book and has used as his theme "A Harmless Fib.!L It is astounding how this one little white fib grows to be a whopping big lie with the idea In mind, if you tell one, you will have to tell more and the moral ever evi dent, don't tell the first one and the many tight places it gets Arthur Fair fax (Mr. Bowers) only to have him tell another one to get out of the pre, ceding one, and before the curtain is up, five minutes he has told so many he don't even remember the truth, but in all sincereity he lies with grace and ease. The prices will range from 50 cents to 52. War tax extra. Tickets will go on sale Thursday morning at El-yington's. Bijou. Upon request of many, Clara Kim ball Young's great achievement, "The Reason Why" will be kept ove'r for another showing today. Clara Kimball Young's production of "The Reason Why" for tier Select Star Series is exceptionally note worthy in many respects, but in none more so than in the superlative felicity of its entire presentation. The story deals with English high society and is a romantic tale of great heart interest and appeal. Elinor Glyn, the author of the. novel from which the photoplay was taken, knows the British nobility and the smart set of "honorables" as perhaps no other writer of popular fiction knows them; she is, in fact, an inti mate member of the innermost circle. The character's in her many well known novels, including "Three Weeks," "One Day," "High Noon" and "The Reason Why" are, of course, drawn from the various strata of Eu ropean society, but the leading per sonages are all members of the "haute monde," the highest and smartest so ciety. It Is because of her intimate acquaintance with the notables of Lon don society, that Mrs. Glyn's stories have the breath of life in them, and the characters seem to stand out in the flesh. Her stories hold the mir ror up to nature, and reflect most viv idly the manners and customs of the -European smart set. torney as receiver for the People's Bank of Hopewell, which closed its doors several days ago.
