Th.- Azores, a constituent part of
Portugal, lie in the Atlantic about TSO
miles west of Gibraltar and 1.400 miles
east of New York-. Many of the
ishir.Os are uninhabited, and since the
German unrestricted submarine war

ports that one of the islands had been

Blockade One of
Most Important
"Weapons of Alliet
[«. orrc^TXind^nee As^^ciau-u
London. March 1?.—"The blockade
is one the most important weapons
in th-.* hands of th'1 a !:es. asserts
the British war cabinet. Dealns w'th
the development and amplification of
the blo- kade of C.ermany during l&iT.
the cabinet says in its annual report
just made public:
"The hiof method by which this
amplification has been efleeted has
been the conclusion of a series of
agreements with neutral shipping
companies. The weapon in the back
ground durins such negotiations has
been the British control o' bunker
facilities and the powers wielded by
the inter-allied chartering committee.
"A very considerable amount cf
success can fairly he claimed for the
policy. In the far east, the German
commercial establishments have been
almost completely destroyed and re
cent events will probably make it
possible to complete the work.
"Thanlcs to our agreements with
American shipping companies, the fi
nancial stability of enemy firms in
South America has been very gen
erally shaken and in some cases they
have been forced into liquidation. In
other instances, fir.ns containing cer
tain enemy interest have been obliged
to eliminate this interest.
"In .Spain the policy has worked ad
mirably and is considered to have
.'on-- far to counteract th" more in
sidious methods of German propa
ganda In all countries th- moral
fftec-t of the statutory' list has been
very pronounced and a definite stigma
is attached to inclusion in the list, an
effect which has been accentuated by
the growing dislike of the world in
general for German objects and
methods."
The main preoccupation of the
ministry of blockade during the year
1917, it is stated was directed to
diminishing trade between the Ger
mans and neutrals on her borders.
"The neutral tonnace employed in
allied trade increased by a million
tons between the German declaration
of ruthless U-boat warfare and the
end of the year," says the cabinet.
"The great blockade event of the
year wa.' the declaration of war be
tween the United States and Ger
many. followed by similar declara
tions from or the rjpture of rela
tions by a cnsideraWe number of
South American states. This has en
abled u« and our allies to stop imports
to the border neutrals at the source.
"Public attention has been fixed,
not unnaturally, more upon the food
blockade of Germany than anything
else, but it 5« very doubtful whether
this Is its most important aspect. The
evidence is strong that Germany is
also suffering gravely from the want
of such things as wool. leather, cot
ton. rubber and eo on.
"It is hoped that we may sec con
siderable results in the future from
the new forms of pressure which the
entry of America into the war has
enabled us to employ."

by Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board for $50,000,000 for a aeries ot
government experiments in concrete
ship building.
"Aside from the proven practicabil
ity of concrete ships, which can bo
built any size." .Mr. Comyn said, "the
problem of building them in tho
United States divides Itself into three
phases—name'.v: tabor, material and
production.
"Concrete ships can be built by la
bor which at present .is unemployed.
House carpentcrs and house smiths
are utlliatod in the building of wooden
forms and the erecting of the steel re
inforcing. No men arc taken from the
regular ship yards ai.d the energy of
thousands who otherwise might be
idle Is used.
"As for material, nothing is used
that wotiid siow up our w«r prepara
tions. Every warehouse In the coun
try is full of the reinforcing metal
which is available becai'fe there is no
longer any great amount of building.
A further advantage is that scrap
r.'etal can be used which can be rolled
by any mill anywhere. Sand and
gravel are found where the ship is
built, at the meeting of land and
water, "twice as much ciment is pro
duced as can be used.
"And there you have the comblna
t:on. available labor and material in
abundance, the only thing lacking be
ing tlVc will to go ahead.
"The Faith represents the faith of
business men of the Paciiic coast. No
shipyard was necessary for her con
struction yhereas. had she been built
of steel an outlay of three-quarters
of million .lollarn would have to be
spunt before the keel could be laid."
The new boat is 335 feet long. Its
total cost will be aiightly above a haif
million dollars, and its firet round trip
to New Zealand will pay for its build
ing. Mr. Comyn said. He is head of
the San Francisco Shipbuilding Corpo
ration and interested in numerous
lumber mil's. Freight rntes between
California ports and the Antipodes are
now $100 a ton and promise to go
higher.
British Military
Cross Twice Won
by Former Newsy
[Correspondence Associated Press.]
^Behind the British Line in France
March 2J.—one of the familiar char
acters of pre-war days in London v.as
a street- Arab newsboy who sold pa
pers outside one of the hotels most
frequented by American visitors. Ic
l.ghting in the nickname Frog-faced
Tich", he won the admiration of vis
itors as a master of repartee, varying
hi.« nightly refrain of "All the Win
ners" and '""OrriLle Murder" with iron
ical comments on the world's eveni*
and caustic replies to pedestrians who
ventured to Kandy words with
him as they passed.
Persons who knew Tich Taplev in
the old days would scarcely recognize
him now in his khaki uniform, with a
"crowned" ribbon ^n his breast ind'
cating that he has teen twice awarded
the prized military cross. His com
rades of the London regiment, more
over. declare that if he had been
awarded a medal oti every occasion on
which he has merited it. be would l)e
covered with ribbon from head to foot
of his diminutive body.
Too small to go into the army by
the regular channels, Tich after sev
eral trials, was accepted as a stretcher
bearer in the London regiment. At
the front he quickly became one of the
most popular men in the regiment.
One of his officers, in a report to head
quarters. said of him. "Cheerfulness,
courage, devotion to duty, and disre
gard of danger are as much a part of
his equipment as his haversack and
his waterbottlc."
Tapley probably looks less like a
hero than any other man in his bat
talion. But hie caustic, good-natured
humor, which was little more than an
amiable diversion in civilian life, K
came an invaluable asset In the
trenches, keeping up the morale and
optimism of the whole battalion. His
officers find themselves continually
paying tribute to his usefulness in this
respect. One of them wrote in a
letter a short time ago:
"His g«*pcl. whether consciously or
not. is the gospel of cheerfulness, and
in practice it works out that his spirits
grow lighter in proportion as dangers
and discomforts grow heavier. His
jests in time of stress provide Just the
electric spark that turns the hearts of
men from gloomy pessimism into lum
inous defiance."
The ex-newsboy has the reputation
from Lens to St. Quentin. of being ab
solutely fearless. In his work as
stretcher-bearer he goes busily about
among the falling shells, always whist-,
ling a popular tune, with an everready
word of sympathy and encouragement
for the wounded. He Is generally
looked upon as one who bears a
charmed life for he fc&e S'wr received
even a scratch and his very presence
Is regarded as a mascot.
Tapley won the second of his two
decorations under heavy shell fire In
the Chalk Pit north of Loos, when,
single-handed, he bandaged and car
ried to a safe part of the trench all the
wounded of his own company and
several from a neighboring battalion.

GREAT TRADE INCREASE.
Volume of Business With Cuba Almost
Troblod in Four Years.
Havana. April 13.—The increase In
trade between the United States and
Cuba from 1190,000,000 in 1913 to
$445,000,000 last year will bo emphas
ized in an exhibit of Cuban trade at
the annual session of the National
Foreign Trade Council of the United
States at Cincinnati. O. April 18-20.
The great development rf trade be
tween the United States and Cuba has
given the ieland a leading position in
this respect among the nations of the
western hemisphere. Cuba's trade
with the United States is declared to
exceed by large margins that of Argen
tina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Laat
year the United States took 75 per
cent of'Cuba's export and supplied 75
per cent of the island's import. It is
expected that the Island's trade with
the United States will be even greater
this year.

ACKLEY BURIES SOLDIER DEAD.
Services Held For Hiiko I jarks, Who
Died ?t Camp Dodge.
Sj.ecial to Times-Republican.
Ackley. April 13.—The biggest fu
neral ever held in this city—civil or
otherwise—wag for Hilfro Tjarks, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Hiiko TJarks, who left
with the Hardin couaty boys in the
Craft of Feb. 1!3 for camp Dodge. He
contracted acarlct fever in camp, com
plicated later with pneumonia. He was
a member of Company C. 439th infan
try and the body was accompanied
home* by a corporal from Camp Dodge.
Owing to the nature of the disease
he had contracted no public services
ceuld be had with the body, which was
laid away in Ackley cemetery soon
after arrival in the city, with a short
service at the grave, a military salute
of three volleys by a firing squad, and
taps. The family and relatives then
had a short private funeral at the
home. A community memorial service
was held In St. Johns and the Metho
dist churches. It wac apparent one
church would never accommodate the
enormous concourse of people from
the city ond country roundabout, so
al! the school children from the public
schools and from the school at Austin

church and addressed Uy Rev. Mr. Jos

Koenig. the Svangelica' pastor. The
service at St. Johns was for the older
ones of the community and the church
was packed to the limit. Tho Rever
