Mr. William H. Denman was born IN
San Francisco in 1872. He attended the
University of California, and later studied
law in the Harvard Law School. He set

Francisco, and first became prominent
through his skill in prosecuting claims
AGAINST other nations for the infringe

from his legal activities in connection with
maritime matters, he has taken an active

If the MAYORS Committee on Municipal
Corruption in San Francisco, drafted a

Mr.. Denmans appointment as chairman
of the Federal Shipping Board was one OF
the surprises of the early stages OF the
war. Before his appointment he had
represented a number of shipping hrms
whose names were on the British black

he had termed British aggression In
his present position, at the head OF the
Shipping Board, he has held urgently that
the submarine question can be solved only
by the use of wooden ships.

Became the Topic
AT This Point Soup

Now, notice that at the Savoy Hotel, in
London, they serve table d'hote dinner,
and that table d'hote dinner costs 6s. and Cd.
That is s1.62. You could not buy that dinner
at the willard Hotel for less than s..
Over there soup costs "a cents. At the
Willard it costs 35. That is not very much
Of difference. Over there they charge L.
cents for celery, and here they charge so
cents. / do not know whether we send the
celery over there or not. | am inclined to
think we do. do not think they raise cell
cry in England. They have to get it from
some other place. Then l find that a small
steak at the Savoy Hotel costs SO cents. At
the Willard il costs sl.50-quite differ
ence We send the meat from Chicago over
to the Savoy Hotel, and we send the ment
from Chicago to the Willard Hotel. The
people over there pay the same price for
their meat to the Chicago packers as these
people pay here, surely. They ought to pay
more, but they sell for less Then they have
fish.

4 Socialist Who Refuses
To Be Un.American

UPTON SINCLAIR, the well known
~ Socialist, has followed other notable
examples and left the party on account OF
its policy toward the present war. He
represents the class Of Socialists who, In
spite of the fact that they are opposed
to many of the present political and So
cial ideals, still favor CONSUMPTION as long
as there is a war which must be won If
ideals of democracy are to endure.
Mr.. Sinclair was born in Baltimore in
1878. After completing the regular
course of study required for the degree
of A. B. at the College of the City of
New York, he pursued graduate studies
at Columbia University for four years.
In 1906 he founded the Helicon Home
Colony at Englewood, whose members
were to execute various utopian ideals,
and which was built on plan similar to
that of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Brook
Farm. Helicon Hall was destroyed by
fire in 1907, and Sinclair said the steel
trust had instigated the fire for the pur-
pose of destroying certain "evidence"
which he had obtained. Mr.. Sinclair was
at one time a member of the single tax
colony at Arden, Del, and while there
went to Jail for eighteen hours for play
ing baseball on Sunday. While connected
with the Helicon Home Colony he laid
the foundation of the Intercollegiate So
cialist Society.
Upton Sinclair first attracted attention
by his book, "The Jungle which exposed
conditions in the Chicago meat industry
When he found that his book was being
read he asked President Roosevelt to in
vestigate the conditions he had set forth
with so much detail.
This thoughtful Socialist has been in
sympathy with President Wilson's view
of pushing vigorously the war against
Germany. Two months ago he sent
telegram to Kerensky, Russian Minister
of War and Marine, urging that no sepa-
rate peace be made with Germany. He
also revealed to the government at Wash
ington the fact that Emma Goldman had
written to him, limiting that a reign of
terror, which would be NEARLY civil war;"
would take place in the United States as
soon as the CONSUMPTION law became eff
fective.

mere popular assumption, although this
additional sum is authorized for the year
and remains to be issued. Questions re-
latng to the distribution of the next loan
were discussed at a conference in New
York last week of the governors of six
Federal Reserve banks. Canada has
asked for a large loan, the details hav-
ing been discussed between Secretary
McAdoo and Sir Thomas White, the
Canadian Minister of Finance. So heavy

Another Reaction Against
CONSUMPTION
Plans to reopen the CONSUMPTION ques-
ton are the very newest indulgences of
the Western Congressman who are re-
sponsible for the present status of the
food and taxation measures. This
scheme is expected to take the form of
an amendment to the aviation appropri-
alton bill which carries a provision au-
thorizing the President to draft men into
the aviation service. Senators La Fol-
lette and Gronna thus promised to block
the quick passage in the Senate of the
aviation BILL which so smoothly negoti-
ated a passage through the House. The
attempt to create reaction against con-
scription at this late date was expected
at least to delay the passage of war bills.
Attacks upon the administrative boards
are the fashion, especially upon the men,
hers Of the Advisory Commission of the
Council of National Defence. This is the
prevailing style of recriminations: Sem
ator Kenyon criticised the giving of a
shoe contract to a member of the board,
John F. McE!wain, and Senator Town
send retorted that "a horde of vultures
have swooped down upon Washington
looking for contracts, and. when disap-
pointed, have become scandalmongers.

Then There Is the Ship
Without a Rudder

The Goethals-Denman ship is still
without a rudder, and the mutny on
board hampers Goethals. The failure to
get decision and to adopt a policy and
to set out to sea with the ships is laid
by some observers to the fact that there
is no referee"
General Goethals was given full au-
thority to proceed to spend the $780,
100000 appropriation for ships, and the
announcement was made that the Den
nan faction had subsidized. Contracts for
34S wooden ships had been let, with a
capacity of 1,2lS,000 tons, at a cost of
s174,000,000. Additional contracts are
being negotiated for 100 wooden ships.
Contracts have been let for seventy-seven
steel ships, with capacity of $4,000
tons, at a cost of SOL 100000 The total
of 425 ships, with an aggregate tonnage
Of 100000, has been ordered, at a cost
of s275,000,000, besides the 100 wooden
ships under negotiation.
But these accomplished facts did not
prevent a fresh outbreak last week from
the Denman faction, which insists that
General Goethals is mistakenly failing
to utilize the wooden ship possibilities"
and resources of the nation. From out
of the news this question shapes itself:
Which must go, Goethals or Denman?
