POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE
UNITED IN MARRI E
A very pretty wedding was consum
mated at Strelna last night, the con
tracting parties being George Scott
and Miss Ruth A. Barrett, both of
whom are well known here. The nup
tial knot was tied by Rev, K. 1’. Zieg
ler at the home of Mr. and Mrs V.
.1 Dwyer, and immediately after the
ceremony a wedding Hopper was
served. The bride arrived in Cor
dova more than a year ago, accom
panied by her father and sister, and
resided here for some time before
going to Chitina, where she has been
during the past summer. Mr. Scott
is a popular conductor on the Copper
River railway, and is a son of Mrs.
Sophia Scott and brother of Mrs D.
A Mosser. The newly-weds will win
ter in Cordova, and start out in life
with the best wishes of a large circle
of friends.

Cannot Perpetuate
Luxburg’s Advice
BUENOS AYRES, Oct. 23- The Ar
gentlne government has refused to
permit a local firm to register a trado
mark which would have perpetuated
Uuxburg's words, "spurlos versonkt,"
In the now famous telegram to Ber
lin, in which he urged the German
government to sink Argentine vessels
without leaving a trace.
The case has been widely comment
ed upon in the local newspapers,
which have applauded the action of
the government in refusing to let the
words of tho former German minis
ter here be perpetuated in Argentine
com merce.
TEXAS ALSO
HAS LIVELY
SHIP YARDS
ORANGE, Texas. Oct. 23 Sixteen
vessels already have been sent down
the ways at Orange, twenty four oth
ers will be ready for launching before
Christmas, and contracts have been
placed for the construction of sixty
one more at the earliest possible date.
The tonnage of vessels launched, now
building, and contracted for here to- I,
tals 317,300.
Before the program is completed
here more titan half a million acres
of yellow pine forest will have been i
laid bare
The shipbuilding program brought
prosperity to this little town, whose [
population has nearly doubled since j
America entered the war. Fifteen
months ago the industry was little
known or understood here One or
two small yards, located along the
banks of the sluggish Sabine river,
were devoted to repair work on tugs
and small launches.
The came the call for a "bridge for >
the Atlantic.” Almost overnight the !
river banks sprang into life. The ring [
of axes revergerated through the for- j
ests nearby. The hum of industry i
banished the festive alligator from his
old haunts and the steel ribbed skele j
tons of ships began rising almost in ]
the midst of a wilderness.
The shipyards now employ approx
imately 7,000 men who draw wages
totalling $225,000 weekly. Notwith
standing more than a thousand homes
have been built in eleven months, the
vnrkmen still are forced to live in im
irovised shanties and tents while
musing facilities are being increased
with all possible speed.
The National Shipbuilding company
if Texas has launched six ships, has 1
eight on the ways and contracts for1
■ighteeti more, all for government use
except two of those already launched
which went to the British C'unard line
The Southern Dry Dock & Shipbuild
ing company has launched one ship,
has five on the ways and contracts
for five more, all for government use;
the International Shipbuilding com
pany has launched eight, has ten on
the ways and contracts for thirty
eight more, all for the Italian govern
ment; and Ed. Weaver & Sons has
built one and has one on the ways
The National yard is building the
now type of vessel of 4.940 tons each.
The first two of these ships, which are
classed by authorities as among the
innovations of the war, are now on
their maiden voyages. Approximately
1,600 dead weight tons larger than a
Ferris type vessel, the now ship re
uulres nearly 600,000 fewer feet of
timber to build and fewer steel bolts.
It was designed by A. A. Daugharty,
an engineer who at the outbread of

Workmen at tin* National yards

diip No. 212 in thirty hours and ihirty
ive minutes and have challenged other
r'ards to equal the record A Pacific
•oast company held the previous rec
ml of forty-four hours for framing
t ship. *
On** of the* greatest problems con
fronting directors of the ship yards
lore has been protection against ller
nan agents. On Independence day the*
orch was put to the shipyard of the
Jrange Maritime corporation by an
»nemy agent, resulting in the destruc
ion of the yard and three large ves
sels. Now armed soldiers patrol every
oot of every yard, while agents of .
he department of justice round up \
ill suspicious characters.
BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD
ONE EXPECT OF YANKS?
LONDON, Oft. 3 (by mallI.—For
good behavior American soldiers are
walking off with the palm.
The Londoner is favorably im
pressed with the quiet, gentlemanly
conduct and soldierly bearing of the
Yankees Although vast numbers ol
American soldiers are met in London
streets every day. not a single case
of drunkenness among them has been
brought to public notice.
Voluntary women workers at the
Eagle hut are unanimous in their ,
praise of Americans, who, they snv,
are always courteous and never in
dine to "freshness" though of
course, the Yank is quite an adept
at a well turned compliment and does
not try to hide his appreciation ot
what English women are doing
