a large crowd each evening, especially
on Saturday, with the colored
folks, the merry-go-round and the

kept busy until late each evening to
pacify the wants of those who like to
ride.
Friday evening, a play, entitled
"Better than Gold," was presented
by home talent in the town hall to a
large audience. These young folks
did well and deserve much credit for
the way they acted their parts. About
$75.00 was realized, which will be
credited on the piano fund.
The stores in town, except tht>
grocery and drug stores, began last
Monday to close at 6 o'clock, p. m.,

girls, and in many other ways to appreciate
the freedom after being1
cooped indoors all day. Those

TO HAVE TREMENDOUS ARMY.
Vast Scope of President's Plans Revealed
in Military Budget.
Washington, April 5.?The vast
scope of the administration's plans
for a war army and navy were revealed
today after a military budget
of $3,400,000,000 had been submitted
to congress. In broad terms it is
proposed to quadruple the enlisted
strength of the navy and to have in
service within a year an army of a
million trained men, including the
first 501>,000 to be brought to the
colors by selective conscription.
Bills to carry out the programme
are already in the hands of the congressional
military and naval committees.
The budget is divided so that $2,932,000,000
goes to the army and
5468,000,000 to the navy. The aims
ire in addition to the regular army
appropriation bill of $240,000,000
and appropriations totaling $517,273,082
already available for the
army.
The navy's task will be to raise
:he present enlisted strength of 68,700
men to 197,000 in the shortest
possible time. It is estimated that it
tvill cost $175,855.61 to do this. A

TO USE INTERNED SHIPS.
Hundred German Merchantmen Taken
Over By United States.
Washington, April 6.?While a
final decision has not been reached,
indications after today's cabinet
;
meeting were that nearly a hundred
German merchant vessels taken over
in different ports today will be regarded
as the property of the American
government and paid for after
the war. The
vessels laid up in American
harbors for safety at the outbreak
of the war in Europe were seized today
immediately after the house's
passage of the war resolution. Their
crews will he removed to immiera
tion detention stations, there to be
i treated as aliens, admissable to the
country if able to pass the ordinaryimmigration
tests. The fact that
many are naval reservists will not
serve to bar them. ,
There were indications today that
damage done to the ships by their
crews when relations between the
United States and Germany were
broken will be repaired as early as
possible and the ships put into the
transatlantic trade to transport supplies
to the allies.
The total tonnage could not be
built in American yards in less than
a year and some of the largest ships,
notably the Vaderland, could not be
produced in the United States in several
years.
Will Be Dry Docked.
All of the ships will have to be dry
docked before they can be made sear
worthy. Bureau of navigation officials
pointed today to practical difficulties
that will delay repairs in
that the ships will fill the country's f
dry docks for some time to come.
The great Vaderland, with a tonnage
of 54,000, is too large to enter any
of the American dry docks and will
have to be towed to Balboa to .be
docked. The earliest time estimated
to put any of the vessels into service
is three months. * Many of them bannot
be repaired that soon.
For Protection.
A final decision as to the disposition
of the ships probably will be
made within a few days. A brief
statement issued by the treasury department
today said they were being
taken in chaTge for the purpose of
protecting them and other property. ' ,
Officials said an "intelligent use"
would be made of the vessels and
that they either could be ..used as
naval auxiliaries or as merchant
shiDs. Most of them would make ex
cellent troop transports. Fourteen
of the largest and swiftest could carry
40,000 troops, which is twice as
many as could be transported by the
entire available American merchant
fleet.
Some Officials Differ.
Some officials said today that the
ships could not be taken over by the
United States formally and put into
service without an act of congress.
They said also that there was a strong
likelihood that if put into* service
they would be operated by the shipping
board, which, under the law, is
authorized to charter and operate
ships. . ?. %
Would Take Three Months.
If the German ships are taken for
service by the United States most of
ihem, it was said at the department
of commerce today, could be put into
service within three to four months.
If the United States decides to send
on <rnm 1- in Piirnno thfi chins will
Or IX ai ill* tv UUA VKV V ** w ..
i
prove invaluable. Fourteen can carry
at a speed faster than fourteen
knots 40,000 troops. The entire
American merchant fleet available
can carry only about 20,000 troops
at less speed. zBureau
of navigation officials said
today that use of the German ships
would add 200 per cent, to this coun- jtry's
ability to land trained men in
effective numbers in Europe.
Most of the fast German liners are
built as naval auxiliaries with gun
platforms, reinforced decks and
steering gear below the water line.
Actual seizure of the vessels for
military purposes, officials say, will
greatly strengthen the American
tieet. ine use 01 awenuaii smys
transports would withdraw just that
much tonnage from the transport of
supplies to the allies and would impair
this country's efforts to supplement
the allies' industrial strength.
