DELAY IN BUILDING
 MERCHANT MARINE IS
 BLAMED ON G0ETHALS
General Manager of Emerg- ency Fleet Corporation Wig ously Attacked By Two Other Officials.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Differ- ences over the governments wooden shipbuilding program came to head tonight when F. A. Eustis, assistant general manager of the Emergency Fleet corporation, and his assistant, F.. ments virtually charging Maj. Gen. Goethals, general manager of the cor poration. with halting building of the vessels by prescribing an impossible form of contract.
 The statements reveal that the fleet corporation has just received offers from ten firms tc build 646 wooden ships within twelve months, or 7S6 within eighteen months. General Goe- thals has turned the shipbuilders down .ecause the builders wish to construct the ships on a cost plus 10 per cent profit basis instead of contracting for a flat price for the ships.
 Goethals Favors Steel.
 Eustis and Clark are the engineers who originated the wood shipbuilding
  plan.
 After taking charge of tie building program General Goethals turned to steel construction and limited the wooden program to not more than 25O ships in eighteen months. Eustis and Clark contend their corporation can build 200 0 wooden ships within that time without interfering with steel building
 General Goethals could not be seen tonight for comment on the state ments.
 Chairman Denman, of the board, who has been represented as opposing General Goethals' plans to restrict wooden shipbuilding. said
 None of the members of the ship ping board had any knowledge of the statement attributed to the engineers. MT. Eustis and Mir. Clark. intimating a refusal by General Goethals to build IS many wooden ships as he might. lor had they the slightest intimatoin hat they were to be issued. General Goethals, as head of the emergency 1, 'eet corporation in the service of which they have been acting. has full responsibility for the shipbuilding program, wood and steel. Denman fingered
 'The board has not insisted that either wood or steel be given prefer ence. All that We desire is the maxi mum of quickly constructed tonnage, for immediate war necessities.
 ''I have previously indicated my opinion as to places where discussions of such a serious character should he initiated. Apparently these gentlemen do not agree with me"
 Eustis and Clark are serving the fleet corporation without pay. Both indicated tonight they expected their resignations would be asked. but de clared they felt it to be their duty to put the situation before the American people and shows them that ships can he built to overcome the German sub marine campaign.

PRIORITY SHIPMENT. BILL TO BE TAKEN
 UP THIS MORNING
Democratic And Republican Members Prepare To Op- pose Measure As Being Too Arbitrary.
CBy Review Leased wire.p

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The ad- ministration bill empowering the president to compel priority of ship ment for foodstuffs, fuel and other necessities during the war will be taken up tomorrow with Democratic leaders urging it's passage, although Democrats and Republicans are pre- pared to make a vigorous fight against It.
 Opponents of the bill insist that such power would be unreasonably arbitrary and that preferential food stuffs shipment is adequately assured by the present cooperative agree ment between the roads and the de fense council.

Returns On Registration Are
 Slow In Reaching Washington;
 Estimates MayHaue Been High

tration should not be taken as indicat- ing a great ndmber of evasions. All reports from department of justice agents and others tended, on the con trary, to show that there was sur prisingly small number of skulkers.
 Total figures from seven states and the District of Columbia which were reported when the provost marshal generals office closed tonight showed approximately 32,500 below the census ratio. Should that average hold for all the states it would mean total de- crease of about 100000 The army, navy, marine corps and the national guard, included in the population fig ures upon which the census estimates were based, would more than offset the decrease.
 Is After Slackers.
 Representative Park, of Georgia, sought further legal measures today to deal with slackers. In a bill in- troduced in the house he proposed that men who failed to register be dis franchised for the duration of the war.
 Additional requests for registration cards were received today from sev- eral counties and the shipments were made promptly.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder issued this statement otday:
 Some published press reports are to the effect that figures received in the office of the provost marshal gen. eral indicate millions of claims for ex- emptions. These reports consist of conclusions erroneously drawn and very unjust to the young men of the country. As matter of fact no claims whatever have, been called for or received"

(By Review Leased wire).


 WASHINGTON, June 7.-Registra- tion returns came in slowly today and tonight, from Tuesdays great military census, preventing anything approach ing a conclusive estimate as to the number of men actually enrolled. An official statement today, however, said such partial returns as were at hand estimated that the 10,20O,000 estimate of the census bureau for the number of men within the prescribed ages would not be equalled
 A feature of the few complete re- turns is the high percentage of the in- dicated exemption average of approxi- mately 50 per cent of the total regis tration. Officials pointed out, howev- CT, that this did not mean actual ex- emptions, as the indicated figures in clude all married men and those in ac- tive. judicial or government offices. Until exemption regulations have been promulgated it will be impossible to say how many of these will be includ- ed in those to be marked off the mili- tary rolls.
 Millions Are Ready.
 The one conclusive result of the reg ulation that cannot be altered in the slightest degree hy any possible vari- ation from the estimates is that mil lions of young Americans have put in their names, claiming 10 exemption and stating no reason for release from war service.
 In regard to the married men, Secre- tary Baker said today that in all the letters he has received on the subject of exemption, not one. even suggested that marriage should establish a clase exemption. He added that individual cases would be dealt with on their merits, no matter wha. the reason for exemption might be.
 Baker Enthusiastic.
 The secretary was enthusiastic over the results of tn eregistration. He has expressed his appreciation of the work done by Provost Marshal General Crowder and by state and municipal officials, declaring the day had been spectacular demonstration" of the solidarity of the American people and | of their high patrioasm, of which the | enrolment was the best evidence.
 Mr. Baker thinks it will be some i time before the regulations governing . exemptions are issued.
 The complete working out of these ! regulations and the appointment of ex- emption boards, the secretary said, will precede the issuance of regulations to govern the selection of men for exam ination. He had no comment to make on the selection process beyond the statement that a fair system would be | adopted. eE
 Evasions Are Few.
 Exemption boards will be localized as much as possible to make it easy for selected men to get to the place of examination without interfering any more than is absolutely necessary with their regular occupations.
 Officials generally said tonight the fact that the few states which had sent in their complete figures at late hour showed with two exceptions falling off from census estimates for total regis

HOLLANDER DETAINED
BY IMMIGRATION OFFICE

After arriving in Honolulu on August
%, aboard Dutch steamer from the
Dutch East Indies, Henry Karoll, a
Hollander, discovered that he couldn't
make living here, so he wrote to the
Dutch ambassador at Washington
asking that funds be sent him so that
he might proceed to San Francisco.
Karoll asked the ambassador to in
struet the Dutch consul here to- adj
vance him passage money.
Wednesday the Dutch consul re-
ceiVed a cablegram from the ambas-
sador at Washington, instructing him
to pay Karolls passage to the coast.
But when the consul got in touch with
Karoll, he discovered that the immi-
grafton authorities were doubtful as
to whether the HoIlander could legally
proceed to the mainland. There is a
question whether Karoll entered the
United States legally. If they find that
he has no right to be here, they will
deport him to the nearest Dutch col
ony. If he gained entrance to Homo.
lulu in proper manner, the consul
will be allowed to pay his way to San
Francisco.

PRELATE DENIES PEACE
NOTE CAUSED REVERSES

ROME, Italy, Nov. 29-Evidently re-
ferring to published articles that one
of the primary causes of the break
down Of the Italian aggressive was the
pope's peace note and the effect which
it had upon the masses Of the Italian
people. Cardinal GaspaTi yesterday
issued a statement in which he said:
>"Malicious insinuations that have
been propagated from non-Catholic
sources in America have a tendency
to attribute to the Italian clergy some
responsibility for the recent serious
situation which our country has faced
and must be denied. The true cause
for the Italian reverses are known and
understood in Italy even if they are
not yet known to the rest of the
world"
He did not disclose the reasons to
which he attributed the disasters.
