OWN WARSA|PS
EVERY ELEMENT CONNECTED
WITH SHIP BuILDING TO BIZ
GOVERNMENT OWNED.
TO EQUIP PLANTS
The Navy Yards at Mare Island and
Philadelphia Are to Re Equip
ped for Construction of
Warships.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.--Sccre-
tary Daniels announced today that
plans are being considered for gov
ernment ownership OF every element
connected with battleship building
because a "rost serious situation
nas arisen in the national defense
program
Daniels said the plan included
government owned Or lecse6 iron
field. ship building yards. armor
plate factories and all else needed
in tlse construction of warships.
Briefly the situation that Ameri-
can steel plants are busily engaged
ir the profitable industry of sending
munitions and other supplies abroad
and refuse to pause to assist in
building United States battleships.
Daniels announcement followed
adivees from three private plants
that they were delayed in filling
consignments abroad and could not
consider furnishing any battleship
supplies. Daniels commented caus.
tieally.
These plants are now engaged in
such profitable business abroad
trat they leave this country to await
their convenience. | am irving to
find oet the cost for equipping the
Maze Island and Philadelphia navy
yards 80 they may turn out the two
battleships if necessary. The cost
o. the Philadelphia navy yard will
be about 100000 and even at this
addi!ionale cost the price of a battle
ship turned out in governmnt yard
would be less than IL built at pri-
vate llant. The government, after
the construction, will have the tools
and improvements. The most seri-
Gus obstacle at both the Mare Is

FRENCH CABINET MGyIRTER To
HAVE TALK WITH GREEK


ATHE November S.-Dennis
Cochin, french cabinet minister
without a psstfolio. was scheduled
today to tell King Constantine what
1.-THE allies have to offer for passive
Greek support in the Balkans. how
much more they will give for active
aid and how much retaliation x
Greece joins the Teutons.
Cochin conferred with Premier
.Skouloudis and former Premier ven-
izelos. leader of the war party. yes
.terday. After talking with these
leaders Cochin was prepared to 90
to Salonica to look the war situation
over at a shorter raEge.
After the Island of Cyprus hal
been offered Greece il she would help
Serbia against bulgaria. and refus-
ed. it was stated that such . reward
would not be rendered again, but =
is believed here that the Greek aid
is valued so highly By the allies that
the offer may be renewed. At least
the allies will insist On q strict nom
by the Greeks with the
Balkan operations. that assurances
be given that there Will be no de
mand for the withdrawal of allied
troops from Greek territory along ths,
Serbian. Bulgarian and Turkish from
tiers. and guarantees that no at
tempt will be made to intern any
British. French or Serbian soldiers
who may be driven across the Greek
frontier
Lord Kitchener was expected 10
arrive in Athens today before Coch-
in's departure.
Cochin's talk with venixelos sup-
posedly referred to Greek public opin-
ion. To judge from the cordiaiity
with which he was treated it is be-
lieved the Greeks are still friendly
toward the allies.
Much attention here has been A.
tracted by the news that former Min
lister of Marine Stratos is on his way
to Germany. but ii is not known
whether or not he is going on gov-
ernment business, but that is the
guess.

FIGHT
City Physicians Are
Under Civil Service,
High Court Rules

The last legal portest Of he poor
commission against the Jurisdiction
Of civil service has been wiped out
by the supreme court decision In
the case OF Dr.. Felix J. Pryxbylow-
ski. former city pbysiican. which
holds that city physicians como
within the classified service. and.
therefore. cannot be dismissed IN
less charges are preferred In the
regular way. The supreme court
decision affrms the circuit court or
der for the physician's rsinsta4s.
ment
Or. Pryzbylowxik was dismissed
July I. 1914. without . hearing. the
board of poor commissioner claim
ing that the civn service cummis-
sion had NO jurisdiction over the
city physicians. since It 10 not Gus
tomary to make charges against =
registered physician when . change
is made In q medical stan. The doc
tors salary from the city was 81 200
per year, and he viii be entitled 70
pay for the time he lost less earn
ings.
1.-THE board Of poor commission
ers, while protesting to admit the
Jurisdiction Of civfl service. has
been raising numerous technical
questions for the purpose q avoid
ing civil service regulation" said
Secretary Fred w. Smith. Of the
merit board. "This last decision Of
the supreme court would seem to
bring the boards employees securely
under civil service"
The civil service commissioners
are hunting for 16 professional
nurses for the new detention hos
pital, which will be opened shortly.
In response to the usual newspaper
lads" only six nurses have made
application. Secretary Smith thinks
that possibly the European war has
| thinned the ranks OF nurses In De
troit and vicinity. The commission
Is also unable to obtain the re-
quired number Of block trimmers
| for street work. The citizenship
clause in the civil service amend
ment is causing the commissioners
considerable trouble in filling labor
| ing jobs. Secretary Smith states
| that unless he is able to find block
trimmers, the street work will be
held up.
