Waterfront Is Quiet.
There is very little activity along the

and to the inclement weather. Every-

after the holiday season closes. A good-
; ly number of ships are due to arrive in

they will continue to arrive in increas-
ing numbers during the early months

Two Ships Clear.
The British steamships St. Stephen
and Minnie de Larrinaga cleared late
■ yesterday afternoon, the former for
Falmouth for orders and the latter for
Manchester via Norfolk.
The St. Stephen was to have put to

would get under way this afternoon.
The Minnie de Larrinaga will also be
’ ready for sea shortly.
Norwegian Port Greatly in Demand as
Shipping Center.
By the Associated Press,
Bergen, Norway, Jan. 1.—Since the
war began Bergen has taken on added
importance as a shipping center. It has
been a point where neutral ships gath-
ered to be convoyed through danger
zones and all passengers embarked for
British and Scottish ■ ports. Because of
the great influx of English speaking
tourists in normal times, English was
spoken very generally in the larger
cities and towns even before the war,
but now nearly all Norwegians speak
English. Foreign refugees from Russia
and Finland recently have kept all the
resort hotels in the Norwegian moun-
tains crowded. Travel has far exceeded
the capacity of the railway between
Christiania and Bergen and the inns
have been unable to accomodate the
great mass of refugees who are endea-
voring to make their way across the
North Sea on the crowded steamers

and Norway are quite unlike. The for-
mer is more military. It is fashioned
the wage increase, it was made known
that Henry Ford has formally resigned
as president of the Ford Motor Com-
pany and his son, Edsel Ford, was elect-
ed to succeed him at a salary of $150,-
000 a year.
Mr. Ford, in tendering his resigna-
tion, gave as his reason his desire to
devote more time to the tractor indus-
try. He retains, however, his seat on
the board of directors of the company,
in an advisory capacity.
Edsel Bryant Ford, who becomes the
executive head of a corporation rep-
resenting an investment of close to
$200,000,000, is only 24 years old. He
entered the shops of the Ford plant
when he was 16 years old to gain a
thorough working knowledge of his
father’s business. He nas been acting
as executive head of the Ford Motor
company for the past few months, his
father having withdrawn from active
participation in the management to de-
vote his time to the tractor business
and a new national weekly newspaper.
Concerning the wage increase Henry
Ford said today that it was “only a
just reward to the men who remained
loyal to the company during the war
period."

Learn to Lookout for Yourself.
Somebody has declared that when
people learn to treat slight ailments
themselves, there will be much less
sickness. Most diseases have their
origin in some minor ailment, and when
that is properly treated the more seri-
ous diseases my be avoided. This is
particularly true of throat and lung
troubles. Take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and give every cold the at-
tention it deserves and you will be able -
to avoid some of the most serious dis-
eases that afflicts mankind. This rem-
edy has been in use for many years
and its value fully proven. —(Adv.)

Wilson Invites British Royalty to Make
Trip.
By Associated Press.
London, Tuesday, Dec. 31.—There has
been gossip in the London newspapers
during President Wilson’s visit that he
had asked King George and Queen
Mary to visit the United States’ during
his term of office and that the invi-
tation might be accepted. The Standard
says today that it understands that
when bidding the king and queen fare-
well, President Wilson said he hoped
to see them in America shortly.
No authoritative statement of the
subpject, however, has been issued.

Paris, Dec. 31.—President Wilson re-
turned to Paris tonight. He will spend
New Year’s day resting, departing at
night for Italy.
The president tonight expressed him-
self as exceedingly pleased with his re-
ception and the conferences he had in
‘England.
Premier Clemenceau’s declaration in
the chamber of deputies favoring the
principles of a balance of power has not
‘been referred to by President Wilson.
Indications are totally lacking as to
how the president regards the premier’s
views on this subject.
Officials close to President Wilson
point out that at almost the very hour
when M. Clemenceau was making his
declarations in Paris, the president,
speaking in Manchester, said the United
States would never enter into any com-
bination of nations that was not a com-
bination of all of them, and declared
specifically against the principle of the
balance.of power.
The president was speaking for what,
it is understood, he hopes to be a con-
cert of powers.
However much M. Clemenceau's
declarations may appear to be at vari-
ance with the announced purposes for
which President Wilson will contend
at the peace conference, it is held that
there is no reason to believe that it is
likely to constitute a stumbling block
oi’ to create a situation that would af-
fect the participation of the United
States in the conference.
President Wilson tonight, on his ar-
rival here, authorized the following
statement:
“Upon leaving England President and
Mrs- Wilson expressed their very great
pleasure at the delightful cordiality of
their welcome. The president expressed
great satisfaction at finding how close-
ly the purpose and feeling of the people
of Great Britain correspond with the
purpose and feeling of the people of the
United States.”
The Galveston postal receipts from
the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes
and postcards for the year ending 1918
as given out last week by E. R. Chees-
borough, the Galveston postmaster,
shows an increase of $50,540.79 over
the year of 1917. The sales for the past
year being $235,044.60, while that of
1917 $184,503.91.
Even with just carload after car-
load of Christmas mail which was go-
ing out and coming in, the postal clerks
and carriers, working many days
twelve to sixteen hours a day, were
able to keep the postoffice and annexes
cleared during the Christmas rush.
In addition to the regular postoffice
business the war savings stamp win-
dow kept separate clerks busy all dur-
ing the year. This was all new busi-
ness and every one knows the record
as made by Galveston county.
On the door of the postoffice as you
enter, there is a big Red Cross 100 per
cent membership honor roll banner with
all the names of the members in-
*scribed upon it. Mr. Cheesborough said
that this was not the only 100 per cent
subscription to their credit as the em-
ployees had subscribed 100 per cent in
all the various drive throughout the
war period.
Other figures for the different de-
partments have not been compiled as
yet, but will be given out shortly.
BRITISH AVIATOR DIES.
To Deepen Channel.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 1.—The deepening
and widening of Houston (Texas) ship
channel, at an estimated cost of $3,-
850,000, was recommended to congress
by army engineers with the provision
that local interests contribute $1,365,-
000 of the total necessary for the
project.
The engineer’s report held it was
| advisable to provide a channel of thir-
ty feet depth at mean low- water and
250 foot width in the bay section and
150 feet in the river section. He also
recommended suitable widening in front
of. the wharf at Manchester and the
. enlargement of the turning basin at
: Houston.
Completion of the project in three
years was urged in the report, which
advised that the appropriations for the
..first year's work be $950,000. The
maintenance cost of the project when
5 completed was estimated at $350,000 a
year.
Several million dollars, including
I amounts contributed by local interests,
have been expended on past improve-
ments of the channel, the report shows.
Longshoremen’s Pay.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 1.—New Orleans
longshoremen, when ordered to docks
outside the city front, including Al-
giers and Gretna, shall be entitled to
a minimum of four hours pay, not five,
in case the work is done in less time,
the adjustment commission of the Unit-
ed States shipping board decided. The
previous rule which allowed five hours’
pay for proceeding to the outlying
docks was established when ten hours
constituted a day’s work, the commis-
sion holds, and now that the eight
hour day is enforced on the water front,
the half day payment entitles the men
to four hours only.

“As to Clemenceau, he repudiates
with tranquility the Wilsonian con-
ceptions. Tomorrow it will be neces-
sary to arm again, to construct fort-
resses and cannon and forge alliances
against third powers. To the society
of nations there is not even a discreet
bow.”
