various kinds. Everywhere the work OF
reconstruction Is being pushed night and
day. with either two or three shifts
OF workmen to each twenty-four hours.
Politically, there are also evidences of
German attention, according to the news

chase bill. let II be known that he would
not oppose the new merchant marine
measure drafted after conferences be-
tween Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield.
The Arkansas senator. during the debate
In the democratic caucus Friday, was
asked by several administration senators
for his opinion OF the new bill.
Favors Private Ownership.
He frankly stated that he saw no OBJ
lection to It and would give It his sup
port. His opposition to the bill last
spring, he said. was because OF its gov
eminent ownership feature. The bill now

provides for government ownership of
stock only in case private capital is lack
