ignation and givfnte- Preslderifsl'ett
opinion that the only way to end tne
row which has delayed the ship-building
program was for both Goethals
and Denman to be removed from the
situation. .
In asking for Mr. Denman's resig
nation. President Wilson suggested
that he would be glad to have Mr.
Denman take "the same disinterested
and self-forgetting course that General
Goethals has taken."
"When you have done as he has
done," the President wrote Mr. Den
man, "I am sure you may count with
the utmost confidence upon the ulti
mate verdict of the people of the
countrv with regard to your magnan
imous and unselfish view of public
dutv and upon winning in the retro
spect the same admiration and confi
dence that I have learned to feel for
you."
President Wilson's action came as
a surprise. Officials generally nau
thought lie would make another effort
to pat eh up differences and divide
specific ally between Chairman Den
man and General Goethals powers con
ferred on him by the Shipping Act..
The President's letter to Mr. Den
man follows:
"I hope and believe that I am in
terpreting your best judgment as well
as my own when-1 say that our duty
concerning the debate and misunder
standings that have arisen in connec
tion with the ship-building program
ought to be settled without regard to
our personal preferences, or our per
sonal feelings altogether and with the
single purpose of doing what will be
bet !u sitvp the nnhlir interest.
".No derision we can now arrive at
could eliminate the elements of con
troversy t hat hTavc crept into almost
every question connected with the pro
gram; and 1 am convinced that the
only wise course is to begin afresh
not upon he program, for that is al
ready in i;uge part in process of ex
ecution, hut upon the further execu-
iion of it.

fBj Associated Press.)
Washington, July 24. Sailors of the
allied, navies are to share with Ameri

ed through the labor of patriotic
women. It was announced today at
the headquarters of the Navy League
that 1,000 sets of wooljn garments
have left Washington for French
sailors engaged in patrol duty in
'Northern waters. This will be fol-
lowed within a few days by a con
signment of woolen garments to cer
t.n Russian warships, whose crews
...o badly in need of heavy clothing,
and later on shipments will be made
to British sailors of the anti-submarine
patrol.
' Official communications from the
British admiralty and French ministry
of marine received by the Navy
League express deep appreciation of
the offer of American women to ren
der this service. Informal acceptance
of the offer has been received from
representatives of the Russian ad-

the output is sufficient to ensure sup

who make the garments may say to
which navy they may go.

This Week
(By Associated Press.
Washington, July 24. President
Wilson1 probably will bring his per
sonal influence to bear on Senate
and House conferees on the Food bill
to accept the House provision for a
single food administrator instead of
the board of three, as voted by the
Senate. The President may taice a
hand in some of the other conflicting
sections . -
prefef"the Senate prohibition section
forbidding manufacture of distilled
liquors but allowing the manufacture
of beer and wine. The House put
in a "bone-dry" section. The Presi
dent has heretofore opposed a con
gressional committee to investigate
the conduct of the war and there is
no reason to believe he will favor
such an amendment to the bill.
House prohibitionists declared to
day they would fight some of the
Senate liquor amendments to the
Food bill uncompromisingly regard
less of appeals for speedy agreement.
Dry leaders look to making the bill
nearer in form in which it left the
House bone dry for the duration of
the war.
The House drys concede it may be
impossible for them to restore abso
lute prohibition of manufacture of
beer and wine, but they hope at least
I to get in a section giving the Presi-

amendment also will be subjected to

(Special to The Dispatch.)
New Bern, N. C, July 24. Just at
the present time the contractors who
are engaged in the work of construct
ing the giant breakwater over at the
Harbor of Refuge, near Cape Lookout,
are making very good progress, con
sidering the fact that inclement
weather has considerably interfered
with them in the past few weeks, but
just how long operations there will
continue is a matter of some specula
tion. ; Mr. H. T. Paterson, the government
engineer in this section, stated today
that on the first of the present month
there was $95,000 on hand for the
I work at the Haroor of Refuge. Ordi
narily this would not have carried the
work forward for two months, but
only 26,000 tons of rock were dump
ed up until last Friday and Mr. Pat
erson is of the opinion that the $95,000
now on hand will be sufficient to de
fray all expenses until the latter pait
of August and, in the meantime it. is
'possible that Congress may make an
appropriation which will make it pos
sible to continue operations.

Norfolk, Va., July 24 A partial

The men recently formed a uni6n,
but the company is dealing with them
as individuals. There has been no
disorder as yet.
In addition to the strike, ah almost
unprecedented rainfall has flooded
