SEMI-WEEKLY TIMES-ENTERPRI8E, THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMB ER 21, 1122. AUTOMOBILES HAVE BUILT FORTUNES FOR LUCKY MARYLANDERS Baltimore, Dec. 21.—Twelve years ago the Pennsylvania Railroad Rave a way an old bridge over the Susque hanna River at Havre de Grace to private interests; the building of a new bridge had made it, apparently, valueless. Automobiles ever since j Xmas and ^,. ns f Holiday have been crossing the structure increasing numbers, and the men v got the bridge for nothing in 1910 recently sold it to the state of Mary land for $585,000. And in the 12 ye irs it was in their possession, they pocketed $370,000 in dividends, in tolls charges collected from motor When the new bridge made the o one of doubtful use, the railroi company offered it first to the sta and then to the county but withoi success. If no one accepted it, the company was confronted with the necessity of removing it, which would have been very expensive. So finally the company changed it from a railroad bridge to a highway bridge and considered itself lucky in find- of Maryland men who W 1 hich < the finally had cost $2,000,000. | SPECIALS Jv?G5.000.

But progress in this di rection is barred by the attitude of Danish court, and behind the I ‘court is the influence of the Dowager ! Empress of Russia, Maria Feodoro- ;vna, formerly Princess Dagmar of [Denmark, and mother of the late Em- iperor, Micholas who was slain by by I his Bolshevik jailors. King Christian, of Denmark, is her nephew and iQueen Alexandra, of England is her countrv was one of vlccissitudes. Foi different conspiracies agninst her life were frustrated by the Imperial authorities. When the Bolsh overthrew the Kerensky government they confiscated her palace i n Petro- grad and reduced her to destitution. She went to live in the Crimea, whence later she made her way to Constantinople and England, where she was welcomed by King George and Queen Mary. Of recent years she has been liv- ing in Denmnrk. Commenting oi her presence in this country a loca newspaper says: ‘‘It is easy to understand that thi mother of the murdered Czar should use all her influence to thwart any kind of agreement being made be tween the country of her birth and Soviet Russia. In spite of her 75 yenrs, Maria Feodorowna is hale and hearty and in the possession of all her faculties. Imperial Russians irywhere recognize her as tl head of Monarchist Russia. She has of late received a veriti ble shower of letters from every co ner of the world congratulating h< on her attitude towards King Vic or Emanuel, of Italy, when thi King paid an official visit to Den- mark during the summer, studiously kept away from all offi cial and private festivities arranged in honor of the King’s visit, and it was officially announced that her .Majesty was indisposed and unable to he present. Though informed by King Christian that Maria Feodorav- na’s indisposition was her unwilling ness to meet with a royal personas* who had received M. Tjitcherin, the Soviet Foreign Minister as guest.

C., Dec. 11—How the naval limitation treaty already has curtailed the manufacture of navy ordnance was portrayed in the annual report today of the Navy Depart ment’s ordance bureau. Although the treaty’s scrapping provisions will not become effective until the instrument has been ratified by all the signatory powers, the gov ernment lias stopped construction work on a sufficient number of vessels to effect a considerable sav ing in expenditures for armor, armament and munitions. A total of $47,470,000 had been appropriated for ordnance during the fiscal year of 1922, and although exact figures are not yet available, the bureau’s report estimated that something like $39,000,000 remained unexpended at the end of the year. Work on the 10-inch calibre gun program was stopped entirely as a result of the treaty, while the manu facture of armor and turret material for several firstline ships was auapendeo. There was a large curtail ment of torpedo manufacture, a con tract for 2,000 held by one company oeing amended so as to call for delivery of only 400. Manufacture of depth charges also was discontinu ed. In making the necessary adjust ments with contractors the Bureau encountered trouble only in two cases both of which were settled by the courts in complete conformity with the settlement proposals of the gov ernment.
