THE OLDEST SHIP About the yeartlS30, when An drew Jackson was . president and wen the Monroe Doctrine was just beginning to win a little recognition. trim sloop named the Hudson sail ed from New York harbor on tier first voyage. She plied up and down the coast for more than -40 years, carrying cargo. Even then her usefulness was not over. She was taken to a' Maine shipyard, refitted as a schooner, and went back to work as the Joanna Durgain. After 20 years or eo she looked rather run-down, and was again hauled out and refitted. She saw service again for many years Just how many it is hard to say and then bad a few years of well earned rest. But the old ship lying at her old dock still had life in her. The big war set shipping men hunting every where for seaworthy craft, and gave new value to old bottoms. lAccord- ingiy, the other day the Poanna Dur- pain came into harbor at Bangor, Me., once more, looking spick and span, and able to do her bit still along with any wind-jammer of her size and build. A man of 90 is pretty old. A ship of that age is reckoned older yet. To most people, a vessel is a frail thing of but a few years' experience. Think of the strength of a ship that can stand the buffetlngs of the sea and the wear and tear of cargo and dock for nearly a century Steel would not have stood itj but the timbers and planks held and survived. It is a triumph for the wooden ship. The shipbuilders builded well in those olden days, Just as did the car penters who built the houses and larns that have defied the weather and use of a century or more. Is there no more such workmanship, or no more such material? Both, perhaps, could l)e found If the present generation had enough respect for durability, and was will ing to pay the price to get It a price probably no higher In proportion to other values than the older genera tion paid. ill THE V XDISTI RBKI) Tl'RK A late dispatch from the Near Kast Teads as follows: "Practically the en tire male population of lArmenia w be exterminated unless the Turk ana tartars are checked by some outside force." Jn fact the situation is described by an American as "ter nble beyond description." Yet our administration, and England' and France, professing to be doing much "for humanity" are turning deaf ears to the appeals for help. Why are United States troops sta tionea in blberla' and other parts of Europe to menace a people with whom we are not at war while a whole nation, although a small na tion, is being massacred iby the Turks? This is one of the "secrets" that congress Is trying to find out.

Amenia, although beaten to earth aud una.'ble to help win the war against Germany, Austria and Tur key, Is really one of the entente, so far as her views and sympathies are concerned, therefore why is Turkey permitted to revel In a dally orgy ot murder? The present situation is far from convincing that the great war was "fought tor humanity," al though some argue that the task is finished when the treaty Is signed. In order thai farm labor may lie on a parity with other labor, farmers of Indiana are demanding a ten-hour day for "city industries." A hope less request. The only way for the tanner to meet conditions is to de mand more for his produce and pay better wages in order to get men who will really do a day's work. To good hands on a -farm are worth a half dozen who shirk on the job. Efficiency will never be attained un less a little brain work and spirit of fairness are thrown in both by em ployer and employe. Chicago and Milwaukee where the Reds hold sway and Germany still reigns need worry no longer. King Albert will pass both cities by. And why shouldn't he? He has JiiBt finished a four-year's fight with that element. Considering it from a "square deal" viewpoint, why should Ameri can airmen (want to fly over .Mexican territory? Were Cararnza sending a few planes over San Dieso arid Phoe nix, the 'Americans themselves might take a few shots. Everybody has quit work and the great game of "freeze-out" is on. It promises to be a long game, too, for many of the players have enough chips to last'them until about Christ mas. John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, left an estate valued at $250.(100. Mitchell was a labor "leader," not a laborer hence the fortune.

San Juan county, Utah, have made a unique contribution to the American Red Cross in six genuine Navajo blankets. The blankets were recent ly completed and given to the Red Cross chapter at Monticello, county seat of San Juan county. What Is considered unusual is the fact that they are genuine Navajo blankets, and that they should have come from the squaws on the reser- tion to the Red Cross unsolicited. The average time reqnlred in making a genuine Navajo blanket, five by six feet. Is 30 days, according to experts. The blankets beat the red cross on white and gray fields.

German I'-Jwut tried to bottlo up the British Grand fleet in the Firth of Forth durlug the latter part of the war, anys a London paper which describes this as the most ambitious tactical operation un dertaken by enemy undersoil cm ft. The scheme aimed at the blocking off of the entrance to the Forth by the sowing of a htg mlnefloM. Three months of hard work were devoted to the task by a considerable fleet of submarines, the mines being laid In the shape of a half-moon. But mine sweepers had discovered the plnn. and, as fnst as the mines were plant ed, they were cleared away. Jt is recalled that other similar at tempts to trap the fleet were made In 1918 In the Moray Firth, when over 400 mines were laid, and In HI at the Ornkeys. In round num bers, on these three oecaetons, the Germans laid 1,100 mlnea at a cost of $1,000 each. The King Edward was the only fighting ship that fell vlotlm in these operations. Enormous nembers of mlnea were laid by the Germans off Harwich. It was round tnat tnese fields were spread regularly at ten-day Intervals, so British sweepers occasionally left portions of these waters tinswept so that when the next batch of submar ine came along they ran afoul of their own mines. . The task of clearing British water of mines Is almost completed. Marriagn IJccnNc A marriage license was Issued yes terday at the county clerk's office to Edmund Cheadle and Caroline Ryan.
