The phenomenal speed of the Rus

Washington, Nov. 10.-,Although
President Powell of the Fore River
Ship & Engine Co. denied that his firm
had as yet made any CONTRACT to build
submarines for u belligerent power Of
Europe, the belief prevailed in official
quarters today that 20 submarines to-
falling s11,o00,900 in cost, soon would
he built for Great Britain by this
concern.
When Mr.. Powell Went TO the navy
department TO talk about bids for
American torpedo boats, Secretary
Daniels asked him Informally if the

contracted to build submarines for

AMERICAN CONCERN May BUILD
SUBMARINES FOR GREAT BRITAIN

Europe were true. Mr.. Powell said he
had no contracts.
The secretary then remarked that,
of course no American concern could
build warships for the belligerents in
American waters. Mr.. Powell suggest
ed, however, that the same end with
respect to submarines could be OBJ
tanned by building the component
parts of the vessels here ano shipping
them abroad to be assembled. The
subject was not discussed further.
Other persons who talked with Mr..
Powell later got the impression that
while technically no contract was
made, the submarines would soon be
built and find their way 10 England.
