Reginald Wright Kaufman, 38 Today, Says
 Socialism Is Bankrupt

= =
 That socialism, as an anti i-rnilitar- istic force, has been an utter failure, is the belief of atformer adherent of the movement, Reginald Wright Kaufman, the American dramatist and author, who has spent many months studying the part played by the disciples of Karl Marx ih the great war. Tn recent naga zine ar ticle by MT. Kaufman points out how the socialists, who had boasted of their ability to prevent an European war by a general strike, abandoned all their pacifist plans and rallied to their national standards immediately the war clouds began to loom upon the horizon. In all of the countries invo1ved--in France and Great Brit ain and Italy as well as in Germany and Austria-the socialists made only the most perfunctory efforts to avert the war, according to MT. Kaufman American socialists. are no better, he insists, since the party everywhere is modelled along the lines of the Gar man party ,and is everywaere equa1ry inpotent to prevent war. The con clusion of the author apparently is that socialism is bankrupt, and that the movement, as least as now con stituted, will never get anywhere
 MT. Kaufman, who will be 38 years old to-day, is the author of What Is Socialism," and other books dealing with this subject, as well as of many novels and dramas, including tsThe House of Bonda ,'' My Heart and Stephanie,'' 'tThe Things That Are Caesars and Miss Frances Baird, Detective" He was born in Colum- bia, Pa, and studied as Harvard at Harvard, beginning his career as a newspaper reporter in Boston and Philadelphia. He has since been as- sociate editor of the Saturday Even ing Post, managing editor of Hamp- toms Magazine, and editorial writer and dramatic critic for several news papers. His first book, Jarvis of Harvard was published in 1901. He has a country home in England where he has spent much of his time in recent years, His most successful novel was t'The House of Bondage, '' published in England under the title
 of Daughters of Ishmael,' and which has, been translated into French, German, Swedish and Elem
 ish and has also been produced upon
 the stage. The novel deals with
 white slavery, and it's publication in
 England resulted in the passage of a
 new law dealing with the social evil

Government May Build Own
Ships.

In another effort to beat down
prices of private contractors, for
construction Of naval vessels,
Secretary Daniels announces
that he would call for bids from
steel makers, to supply the navy
department with 100000
pounds of plates, shapes, rivets
and castings, for use by govern
ment navy yards in the %construc-
ton of battIeships 43 and "A, the
latest additions to the fleet. Late
.ly the department received bids
from private ship builders for
the construction of these YES
sells and he regards them as ex-
%cessive. He believes that with
the government buying the
steel direct from foundries, the
navy yards can do the work
much cheaper.
The bids of the private build
ers for the two ships were: New
York Ship Building company,
So, 900 each Fore River Ship
Building. company, $8,O97, 900
each; Newport News Ship Build
ing and Dry Dock company, 49,.
240, 800 each.
AS the limit of the authorizing
act is SIS, $780, 900, Secretary Dan
iels has obtained from three o.
the navy yards, estimates O
what they could build the ship
for, with the government buying
the steel direct from the makers
These estimates follow: Phila
delphia yard, $6,744, 144 each
New York yard, Sc, 1897, 667 each
Mare Island yard, San Francis
%, $7,413,157.
The Philadelphia navy yard eS
innate does not include the sex
eral hundred thousand dollar
which would have to be expenC
ed in changing the constructio
plant to permit building a battl,
ship there, it being contente
that those changes would be Of
permanent character, where'
the Mare Island estimate il
cludes such changes.

Wichita, Kansas, has for many
years ran an engine on the St.
Louis and San Francisco rail
road. and from his years of ex-
perience as an engineer, is in a
good position to tell others of
the daily strain the job has on a
mans whole system. He said:
