THE MOANING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26," 1921. NINE SAILING SHIP IS HERE TO STAY, IS DECLARED jn Combination" With ower, Sail Proves to Be Cheapest ; Propulsion Method (Christian Science Monitor) The sailing vessel is a thing of beauty, perhaps on the .whole, the finest example of applied art which man has ever achieved. Look; for In stance, at one of these magnificent full-rigpers built In the heydey of sail, ln the 70s or even the 80s of last cen tury. Her hull with its graceful sheer line sweeping up to the bowsprit, the keen ye strong cutwater, the well balanced curve of stern and counter; w soaring masts and spars,' whlchJ look to the casual observer-bo slender, vet are strong enough to beat up the ef'ght of all her soaked canvas in the fierce Atlantic gales or the stormy westerlies which blow forever round the Horn: her network of h&mp and n-ire. in which every intricacy is part of a well ordered plan; her sails, either swelling in generous curves of sunlight and shadow, or furled against their yards like a sea- MrflV folded wings, uiverywnere is something which pleases the eye -Just, it satisfies the practical sense or iht beholder. On board what a difference from the stark utility of th average steam tramp! In place of the .decks streaked with rust and grime and runnels of oil there is the white scoured planking, raulked at every -seam with tar and oakum, and as clean as holystone and elbow-grease can make them.' In place of the unsightly machinery there are colled ropes, and racks of capstan bars, and picturesque looking pinrails and ftferails. not without their touches of traditional adornment In the way of beading and ornamental brasswork. In place of whiffs of 'hot air and engine grease and smoke and steam there are the clean sailing ship smells of pitch and paint and hempen ropes and tarred yarns and boiled oil. ' , L Be it admitted that there is an ob verse side to the medal in all these re spects. Take the matter of smells, for instance. There can beV; unpleasant smells on board sailing -vessels.! .Bilge is proverbially unpleasant,, and , de servedly so; and harness beef, is capa ble of smelling like nothing else in the world. But the pleasanter odors are the characteristic ones; and the pea smell the smell of salt and wind and wide spaces somehow clings .to wood and hemp and sail cloth as it never does to iron plates and . wire ropes and funnels. In the sailing ship there is the charm of a historical continuity leading back to the very beginnings of navigation. There is a wide gulf, it .Is true, be tween the elementary "nuggar" sail of Egypt, from which It a believed all sails are more or less developments, and the stately square rigger; but the thread is there all the same. And be tween even the most highly developed (sailing vessel and the steamship there is a break. The steamer has not grown naturally out of the salllrrg ship. It is the outcome of a new order of things, of a new line of human effort. The sail driven vessel, too, stands as the symbol of mystery and romance at sea. Once out of sight of land it is. as much cut off from the rest of the world as ever in the days of the early voy ager. - The steamboat .-.sailor never really loses touch with the land less fo than ever with the coming of wire less telegraphy; and hence nis ship Is never the little world apart that the failing ship must be to Its inhabitants. Is the day of sail over? A few years ago many people would have answered that question in the affirmative. Square-riggers, there is .no doubt, are decreasing in numbers; but recent years have witnessed. a remarkable re vival in the building of sailing craft. Most of the new sailing vessels are flt ed with Internal combustion engines for U6e in calm or contrary winds, the sails being brought into use in favor able weather. And the sailing ship of the future will most probably be the fore-and-aft type familiar for many years on both coasts of the American continent, especially in the lumber trade. They are considered remarkably handy vessels, especially adapted to sailing close-hauled, that Is, as near to the win,d as possible. And since sail must always remain the cheapest' forin of propulsion, it would seem likely that especially since the coming of the in ternal combustion engine so adapted for combination with sail the threat ened disappearance of the sailing ship 'rom the seas will never come to pass".

Italy is far from being satisfied with certain terms of the agreement relative to German rep arations, as indicated by a note sent by the parliamentary committee of foreign afTairs and finance, of' which Signor Luzzati is chairman, to Count Sforza, the Italian foreign minister, at London. The note says that Italian public opinion and the Italian parliament lcok with disfavor on the share of 10 per cent of the German indemnity assign ed to Italy. They consider this an "in justice ana ' eonten that the Italian hare should, not have been less than 25 per cent, at England. Which was not invaded by the enemy and had no greater, losses than Italy, ia to receive 2i per cent. Indeed, says the note, Eng land gained greatly through freights and exchange. It is further contended that Italy's share should come .immediately after that of France which receives 52 per cent, as France alone exceeded Italy's losses. . The note considers it absurd to grant a share to Serbia, whose dam ages were less than the value of the Austrian government property acquired by Serbia. It also alludes to the share Italy is entitled to have of state and private properties in the German col onies. ' " The note explains the Italian oppo sition to the 12 per cent tax on Ger man exports as provided for in the Paris agreement. The other allies, it says, compete with Germany in the same products and the same markets and are therefore interested in strik ing a blow at German "exportations. Italy Intends to buy . German products, and, in consequence the 12 per cent tax on . German exports would in reality be paid by "Italian " importers. - Emphasis is laid on- the probability of Italian financial difficulties so' long as the question of debt remains unset tled. It would be to England's interest, the note said,' to cancel the indebted ness of Italy and France and obtain the same concessions from the United States, this being necessary to re-establish European production and nor malize exchange, without which, tt de clares, American commerce will be in jured. The question of debts abroad, especially in America, it concludes, must be connected with the question of German reparations. WARSAW BUSINESS CHANGES (Special to The Star) WARSAW, Feb. 25. There have been several changes in places of business here recently. The Quinn-McGowan Furniture company moved into their handsome three-story building on the west side of Main street, this being the first store to be-built on that side of the railroad. Owen-Browder Hardware company are now occupying the store Vacated by the furniture company. GERMAN-ITALIAN- NUPTIAL . ALLIANCE IS, ANNOUNCED - An Italian "writer In the Deutsche Tageszeitung points out the influence which the wedding of the Princess Maria Bona, of . Savoy, with Prince Conrad, of Bavaria, may have on the fate of Europe. . Princess Bona's mother is a princess of Saxony and her father. Duke Tomasso, of Genua. Prince Conrad is the son of Prince Leopold, of Bavaria, and Princess Gisela, sister of the old Emperor Franz. Joseph, of Aus tria. At the wedding members of the two houses, Hohenzollern and Haps burg, . united with Italy until May, 1915, wlll.be presented, also the Italian king, and guen and the queen' mother arid the princess of the houes of Savoy, as well as GiolittI, the Italian premier. The duke of Genua is the same who was in command of the Italian fleet at the time of Its visit to 'the French navy at Toulon and during the war held the position of royal governor pf Rome. "Is this not ideal?" asks the writer.

There are two countries in Eu rope which have no longer this ca pacity. The new Italian ambassador In Berlin, Senator Frassati, published an article in the Stampa, in which he reduces the causes of the. present, mis ery in Europe to the following formu la: "Germany can not compensate France for alL the war damages with out committing Euicide herself, and France is not able to give up demand ing from Germany to be her slave with but putting an end to herself."

The well-known General Benclvenga has also written an article on the subject In which he ays that France's military effort because of the fear of Germany is killing her. France in her. fear and anxiety does not see that the real arms that Germany pos sesses and which she is preparing are those of intellect, an -arm which no treaty can take away rom Germany. "The French government hopes much from the Italian, and has lately done service to Italy. Millerand personally did much towards bringing about the treaty of Rapallo. Italy Will not be ungrateful, but she will not help France to new adventures.
