START MADE ON
1,400 SHIPS TO
BATTLE U-B0ATS

Washington, Nov. 26-The first of
fetal analysis of the program which
the Emergency Fleet Corporation Of
the United States Shipping Board is
endeavortng to rush to completion to
defeat the German submarine men
ace was issued yesterday. 1t shows
that since the corporation was organ
lied contracts have been let for Ss4
new vessels, aggregating 4,724,300
lightweight tons; that 426 vessels of
3,029,50S tons building on the ways
were requistioned to hasten construc-
ton, and that contracts for 80 other
vessels of 100000 tons are pend
ing.
This program presents a grand total
of 1,409 vessels of all types, aggre-
eating 8,363,S0S lightweight tons. OF
the requistioned vessels included in
this schedule 33 of 257,575 tons have
been completed and released. The
total lightweight tonnage given rep
resents approximately 100000 gross
tons.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation.
with the patriotic cooperation of the
shipbuilders and of organized labor,
expects, to place all of the vessels in
| the. program on the seas before the
end Of next year and thus meet the
expressed hope of Premier Lloyd
George, made in a recent address,
when he stated that the accomplish
ment Of that feat undoubtedly would
overcome the best efforts of the sub
marines. It is entirely probable also
that contracts for at least 100000 tons
of ships not included in the schedule
given will be let.
T1a al al arn
under contract no less than 278 ves-
sells of $500 tons or more classified
as corgo steamers, Of which 70 are
designed especially for transports.
| OF the cargo vessels requisitioned
| 176 also are Of $500 tons or over.
| Most Of the vessels Of 5000 and
$500 tons which have been contract
| ed for are to be built in the new fab
ricating yards, and it is estimated
that it will take five months to COM
plete a vessel after the yards are in
operation. The only limit on their
output will be the ability to obtain
labor and the construction Of yards
sufficient to build several vessels at
/ one time.
The construction of great fleet Of
vessels. Of $500 tons or over was one
of the first steps advocated by Chair
|
and Real Admiral Caps. The theory
was that these vessels could attain
higher speed and be more effective
against the submarines. Vessels for
use as transports are being construct
| ed with a new system of bulkheads
which, it is believed, will make them
''unsinkable." 1t has been stated that
| at least three hits would have to be
made by torpedoes to cause dis
! aster, and under the present system
| Of convoy such feat by a submarine
| Is looked upon as impossible.
The recent reorganization Of the
| Emergency Fleet Corporation, which
/ put Charles A. Piez in direct charge
| of construction and provided for sew
eral organizers and efficiency ex-
perts, was brought about to speed
/ construction on the vessels contracted
for by providing speedy delivery Of
materials and q full quota Of labor
needed for two and three shifts Of

GERMAN PEOPLE
WILL NOT FIGHT
FOR ANNEXATION

Amsterdam, Nov. Recommending
on the assertion of the Leipzig Voiks
Zeitung that the German government
is pursuing annextionist aims in the
east, Vorwaerts, the socialist organ,
says:
According to the government IS
own declarations, that is incorrect.
If 1t were correct the social den1oc-
racy would naturally have to take
up a position Of sharpest hostility to
the government.
eff it now comes to negotiations
with the Russians, the German gov
eminent will soon recognize that 1t
could not strive for any other peace
than that which the German people
desire. The German people will not
wage war five minutes longer in or
der that Poland may become Aus

HOLLAND LIKELY TO CLOSE PORTS
 TO ARMED SHIPS

The Hague, March 23-The Hand e1sblad of Amsterdam says today that the rumor has reached it that Holland has refused the request of the United States for the admission of American armed merchantmen to Dutch ports and that consequently the Dutch har- bors will be closed to American and British ships.
 "The government" adds the news paper, twill assume a great respOnsi- bility whichever way the decision may fall. The government seems to be- lieve Germany would interpret as an unfriendly act any decision on our part by which we would come into line with international usages, the justice of which Germany recognized before the war;
 Fear of reprisals by the United States or Great Britain now or after the war is expressed by the news paper, but the Dutch government, it declares, must do only what justice and the interests of the Netherlands dictate.

 STOCK MARKET

New York, March 23-Opening-- Irregularity of tone marked today's early operations on the stock ex- change, but some very substantial ad- vances were registered, especially in the munitions and shipping. Bethle- hem Steel, old stock, rose IA points and the new 3 3-8, while Marine pre- ferred gained 1 3-4 and the common a point. Ohio Gas, one of yester- day's sensational features, rose three points, with fractional gains in Mexi. can Petroleum, General Electric and Crucible Steel. United States Steel, which opened unchanged, soon gained a. full point Canadian Pacific was heaviest of the railroads, losing two points.
 Noon-Gains in Bethlehem Steel were extended to 1-4 and 1-4 points and Marines increased their advances to more than two points with as much for United Fruit and four for Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies. Equipments and motors, which Jagged yesterday, were better by one to three points and oils rose one 70 four with a point for American Smelling and some of the other metals. Railroads alone failed to make appreciable head way, except for Canadian Pacifc's re- covery. Trading eased off toward noon but prices were we'll maintain ed Bonds were firm.
