their hands above their heads in tok

lowered and eight of the submarine
crew were rescued.
Near Black Sod Bay, on the western
coast of Ireland, an armored patrol

SHIPS IS CRYING
NEED OF AMERICA
This Year Will See Develop
ment of Greatest Program
in History
THERE IS NO CHANCE
OF TOO MANY SHIPS
Business Judgment' and Pa
triotism Both Point Out
the Way Story by One
Who Knows
The great need for merchant
ships is emphasized by the very
significant statement recently is;
sued .at London by Sir ric
Geiides, FirstS Lord of the . Admi- j
ralty. The dispatch from London,
which was sent out March 5th, is
as follows:
"London, March 5. 'Qur allies
are making every effort to in
crease their production of ships
Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the
Admiralty, said today, 'but despjte
glowing reports in the American
press and great as the effort of
that country doubtless Is, there is
no doubt a considerable time must
ilapse before ,-the-.desired .output is i
Rofetalned.'
:SIr Eric, whose address was de
ivered in the House of Commons,
said the naval forces of the Allies
in European waters would be aug
mented shortly by a force of Bra
zilian warships." -
(By Leon M. Green.)
The Allied statesman who said
"Every shipyard is a fort for free
dom," used a striding metaphor but
he 4.id not go far enough in calling
attention to the more than pressing
need for ships as -the paramount
means of winning the war. Most
folks recognize, in a vague sort of
way, that bottoms must be had, yet
comparatively few fully understand
the titanic task undertaken by our
government in supplying the needs of
our allies and in transporting troops
to the other side. Indeed, the great
dreamer who said at the outset of
America's entrance into the great
struggle, "We must have a" bridge
of ships across the Atlantic, was not
far wrong.
With Edward N. Hurley .as chair
man of the Shipping Boardf the re
moval of all dissension and the set
tling of the threatened strike of ship
yard workers, our shipbuilding pro
gram is moving foiward with rapid
strides. Nineteen eighteen will be
such a year in vesse1 construction as
the world has nevor known. Much
has been accomplished, still much
mote remains to be done. Marine Eri
gineering says editorially in its cur
rent issue: "To shipbuilders the en
tire nation will look during the cdm
ing months for unprecedented activ
ity. Former records of production
will no longer be acceptable. The
seemingly- impossil le must be
achieved, and that quickly. The di
minished rate of shipping losses, en
couraging as it is, in no way lessens
the demand for more ships. Every
ton of shipping that tan be produced
mustxbe launched in the shortest pos
sible time.
"Less than a million tons of mer
chant shinDing was produced in the
United States last year, but In tfi
meantime the foundations have been
laid for a vastly increased output. No
less than 700 shipways are nOw -avail
able, as against 148 last April, and
more are rapidly nearlng completion.
According to official figures published
In December the wooden ship pro
gram is 9 per cent, complete; the re
quisitioned steel sn'p program, 29 per
cent complete; the composite ship
program, 20 per cent complete, and
the contract steel ship program, 4 per
cent complete. This much has been
accomplished before the new shln-
vards have really begun -to build
ships, and during a period when the
-Jer yards were largely engaged in
naval work, and, furthermore, wer
aeftonslv handicappe.1 by labor and
housing troubled.
"Most of these preliminary difficul
ties are now being tafcen in nana.
means are apparently in sight for re
lieving the most serious pnases or w
situation, and -the new yards are

REDUCES SIZE OF

Action Taken by Shipping
jBpard to Secure South-
ern Lumber
CHANGES WILL SPEED
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Heretofore the Size of Flitches
Was Such That it Was Dif-
flcult to'Secure in South
' v ?t ern Forests
Washington, March 13. Reduction
ihNship' timber sizes used in wooden
construction in the South was author
ized today by the Shipping Board to
expedite construction.
John, H. KIrby, vice-president of
the Sojithern Pine Association of
Houston, Texas, has consented to un
dertake a survey of pine forests to
determine the amount of material
available for wooden ships, as a fur
ther step to increase the output.
Dimensions of the large flitches
which form the curve of the ship's
frame have been reduced from 32x13
inches, to 24x12 inches, so that smal
ler Umber obtainable in the South can
be used.
Under the old specifications, few
trees .could be found in Southern for
ests sufficiently large to cut the flitch
es which some times had had to be
shipped from the Pacific coast.
- Officials are hoping that the changes
will speed up construction so that ad-(iitlonal-contracts
may ne placed. Mil
it is not their intention to undertake
further building until the present de
layed program has been put forward.
It was Jiaid authoritatively that it
was considered better to keep busy
contractors who had proved compe
tent as hullders, rather than to let
contracts indiscriminately to men
whoseivqualificatiofisivtor:J Shipbuilding
MjvKirby has assured General Piez
and other officials that Southern lum
ber men desire to co-operate in every
way with the board in its program.
Estimates of the amount of pine
timber suitable for Fjilps have not
been borne out by actual experience,
it was said, inasmuch as the biggest
trees often were found rotten at th?
heart and unfit for use. In cutting
the timbers, much smaller wood also
had to be cleared, which has served
to de'ay progress and to handicap mill
operations because of the lessening
demand in all private wonc.
Members of the Southern Pine As
sociation were to have appeared be
foie a Senate committee yesterday
and, according to a prepared statemer..
issued by the association, were ready
to iay the blame for delay in wooden
ship building on changes in specifica
tions ordered by the shipping board.
At the last minute the hearing was
cancelled.
Mr. Kirby's conference with Mr.
Piez is understood to have smootnert
out differences of opinion and to have
resulted in a working understanding.

Must Be Met, Declar
es the' Newspaper
i
London, March 13. Concerning
doubts expressea in. seme quarters
on the subject of Japanese interven
tion in Siberia, the Daily Telegraph
says that Japan is a British ally of
12 years standing and during all that
time she has, apart from the service
rendered to the allied cause in the
course of the war shown herself an
honorable and trustworthy associate.
The paper continues :
"The overwhelmingly strong inter
est of Japanese in tLis part of the
world is, of course, apparent from a
glance at the map. Japan is a highly
organized trading nation and is direct
ly interested in the maintenance of
general peace and order In the lands
where her relations are close and
which are supremely important to her
welfare. That was fully recognized
by Great Britain in the treaty of 1905.
"Whatever the Siberian republic
may turn out, to be when we know
anything of it, wo may at least be
sure that Germany reckons upon dom
inating it as she reckons upon domi
nating all other fragments of the
shattered Russian empire. Germany
is at this moment pursuing a plan of
world Hfcohquest to which particular
and unmistakable character; has been
given bjfth,e developmental! th$ war
nuance is to ne guarded against m
the region where Japanese and other
Allied interests are especially strong,
the sooner business is 'undertaken the
better. There is no sense of justice
in permitting chaos and helpfulness
iu Russia to be turned to the advan
tage of the enemy if it can be pre
vented. If such action as was taken
in Manchuria should ultimately he the
means of re-establishing a national
authority of constitutional character
in Russia, and if it should supply a
rallying point for the forces of sanity
and order then a priceless benefit
would be conferred on the Russian
peoplel
"The question at present is one of
legal and necessary protection, of
threatened national interests, "in a
situation without parallel and in
which the ordinary formula' of inter
national action are meaningless, the
principal care of Allied. statesmanship
as a whole will be, while allowing it
self to be guided by the logic of
events as they arise, to divest what
ever is done of any color of aggres
sion or annexationist intentions."
