US. TAKES $50

2,500,000 Tons Placed in Gov

Demur by Owners

Washington, Oct. %. Four hun
dred and fifty ships, more than $780,
900 tons, have been taken into Gov
ernment service since Bainbridge
Colby, for the United States Shipping
Board. issued his proclamation on
October 10. This does not include the
number of vessels on which negotia-
tions still are in progress, but merely
those that are now at Government
orders. The ease and speed with
which the requisitioning has gone for
ward, Mr.. Colby said yesterday, was
a revelation.
1T is a high tribute to the intense
patriotism of the shipping men all
over the country" he declared. They
co-operated with us in splendid
spirit. Details as TO percentages to
be paid by the Government. etc, have
all been ironed out smoothly. 1t ap-
pears the shipowners have made no
effort to avoid Government requisi-
tion, but have willingly provided all
needful information regarding their
vessels"
No general effort is to be made TO
requisition vessels as small as 1,50O
tons, although plans at first contem-
plated such action.
Chairman Hurley. of the Shipping
ed that he had agreed with the War
and Navy departments on rules to
govern the operation of all vessels in
Government service. The Navy De-
partment is to man and officer all YES
sells requisitioned for use as trans
ports. In this way the Navy will be
responsible in every detail for the
success of moving troops.
The War Department will have
charge of vessels rcquisitioned for
the moving of Army supplies, while
ships are loading and unloading.
These vessels will be manned and op-
Grated, however. by the Shipping
Board. All other merchant ships in
Government use will be manned and
operated by tie Shining Board.

MEN ARE NEEDED
ON TRANSPORTS
Z. S. Sailors and Officers Will
Operate Troop Ships
Hereafter

Washington, Oct. 25.-Bluejackets
will man and naval officers will COM
mand army transports hereafter. Of
ficials believe this will insure more
efficient operation of the ships, par
ticularly in the war zone, where the
strain on a crew is greatest, and so
lessen the risk of destruction by
submarines.
Decision to have the Navy operate
the transports, announced to-day, is
believed to have been fastened by
the sinking of the transport Antilles,
manned by civilians. 1t was pointed
out that the highly trained and dis
ciplined naval force is far more eff
tective than a constantly changing
civilian personnel. This is regarded
as particularly true of the fireroom
force, upon which ships speed
largely uepends.
The manning of the transports will
make necessary a large increase in
the naval personnel, and the general
board is understood to have recon-
mended that Congress be asked in
December. to authorize an additional
80, 900 men, 10000 for the permanent
naval forces and $4,000 during the

Did space permit much similar evil

that even longstanding and severe

Many hundreds of remarkable cases

low been credited to Bi-nesia, yet
alkali was rarely, if ever, heard of
outside medical circles. ,,..
1t was because of it's ability to
neutralize stomach acids that Bl-
nesia first attracted close attention,
for it had already been proved that
practically all forms of digestive and
stomach trouble

were traceable to an excessively
acid condition of the stomach.
Bi-nesia, specialists declared
would neutralize this harmful acid,
and by so doing would eliminate the
underlying cause of a host of all
ments for which a remedy had been
sought Yin vain for years.
And, to-day, there is overwhelming
evidence that these prophecies have
been more than fulfilled.
drugs are not employed so freely as
formerly, and the poor sufferer from
digestive or stomach trouble is no
life miserable by following diet
made up of small quantities of plain,
unappetizing foods. The advice
given to-day is: Eat normally and
regularly of the foods you fancy, but
correct the acid-forming tendency of
these foods by taking a little pure
Bi-nesia after every meal.
That this modern advise is good is
proved by the following extracts
from letters recently received from
gestive or stomach trouble:
