lietrfpolo, of Antwerp, which prints a
' .tt-a:tnt made by the Belgian minis

I can." .
7te passages in question deal , es
pecially with the international treaty
of isso which fixed the status of Bel-grjn-
The treaty deprived the young
kit iziKvn. of Belgium of tho principal
portions- of her provinces of Leswig
aad Luxemburg, and Enriched the
Cerffian confederation by the Belgian
trvns of the provinces of Liege, such
si St. Vith, Bupon, Malmady and
Konuoie. It likewise made the king
dom of The Netherlands master of the
lov.'tT Scheldt. The consequence was
that since the beginning of the war
.Antwerp lias been bottled up and de
prived of all possible assistance by
sea against the invader. In declar
ing that the treaty which wronged
Fe'gvam in this way ,and reduced her
in size from 1839 to 1918, is now a

II. 5. TO REPLACE
LD'S SHIPS;
By FREDERICK M. KERRY,
- N. E. A. Stair Correspondent,."
New York, Dec. 11. There are 400,
000 employes busy in rthe- shipyards
of the United States today, anJ the
present program of ship construction
wiir keep them busy for at least three
years to come.
That is the meaning of the state
ment by Charles M. Schwab, that the
United States' program for -. construc
tion of the 13,000, 0(X1 tons of , mercan
tile shipping will be "carried out in
spite of the cessation of hostilities. '
The Ignited States cannot - afford to
stop for ah instant in shipbuilding.
There is at this moment a- deficit "in
the world's shipping of- 20,000,000
aeaaweignt tons. This 1 reDresents
about eight times the seagoing capac
ity of ship construction in the United
States in 1917, .The great new; industry
is thus going, to furnish employment
for an army of workers for "a lonar
time. -: ' .... .
Its demand for steel, wood and ma
terial of all kinds is going to keen
many other subsidiary industries busy
and the finished ships are . going to
furnish employment for many thou
sand additional men' as crews.
Even after the big program, Is nom
inally "completed," the constant wear
and tear, including the necessary new
construction, which must . continually
go forward, will probably ' keep the
larger portion of the shipU building
trade busy permanently.
Work For Allied Trades Also Assured.
Besides the 400,000 workers actual
ly engaged on ship construction, there
are ' 250,000 .workers employed in
trades allied to shipbuilding, and
these will probably increase in num
ber as our program gets further un
der Way. - - " :
: This is how the biggest men in the
shipping, industry " view the: outlook
for. prosperity, in their line.
It Is estimated that Europe will take
from two to three years to recover
in a shipbuilding sense, and, in that
time. we. shall prepare in the-way to
make the United States the5 greatest
shipping country in the world. Here-j
erican countries, will come to .theUnl
ted States for its ships also,
p. N. Hurley, chairman of-the' ship
ping .board, has pointed out that the
high price of staples nowJ existing is
largely the result of lack of- shipping,
and the 'program of the board will in
a large" measure bring prices' of ,th
necessities down in every -; corner of
the world. Mr. Hurley believes that
America will compete with the world
in all lines, owing r to , high, efficiency
and scientific development, . ':- la ship-
U. S. May Take Over Mercantile Marine
The refusal of the. government " to
won
20,000,000 TONS
allow the International,; Mercantile-' morning t f.en o'clock, .wnen the com
Marine to ;turn over nearly 1,000,000 ; missioners and J. A. 'Merrit will con
tons of vessels to British '.interests, '.fer pa - the appointment...of -a, commit-
undoubtedly mean that these ships,
which include vessels like . the Olym
pic, will be purchased by our ship
ping board. Negotiations along these
lines are now under way.'. ..
During the war, "the United States
lost 554,000 tons of shipping, of which
354,449 tons were mercantile. The,
shipping board has. under way, or re-
quisitioned, .45,500,000..., This shipping
will cost an average of ?10 a ton. "I
- It is believed in shipping circles here
that the U. S. at the peaee table will
ask that an equivalent in T tonnage to
the American vessels sunk by subma-r
rines during the war, shall be kept by
our shipping board. These would in
clude, somejof the largest ships afloat"
vessels that would ordinarily take
from two to three years to construct.
The prediction is made unequivocal
ly among the shipping men," that all
the great 'American shipping lines, in
cludsng the Mercantile -Marine, United
Fruit, Atlantic Gulf & West--; Indies,
Munson. Ward and Pacific Mail lines
will probably be conmbined under the
supervision of the government.
Insurance and all other risks will be
eaken by the United States, and In all
esential" respects, shipping will be
come a government, owned industry, to
be developed until this - becomes the
greatest shipping country in the world

quit and give tip my run altogether.
My- head ached for three weeks at a

It had done for my wife, I tried Tan
