Won BERNSTORFF
SURPRISED BY
MEXICAN PLOT

Christiania, Norway, March IL
(Via London). Count Won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, on arriving here on
board the steamship Frederik VIII told
The Associated Press that he was ig-
norant of the political developments
of the last four weeks and was not in
a position, therefore, to make any COM
ment regarding them. When the ex-
ambassador learned of the disclosure
of Germany's effort to make an alliance
with Mexico he expressed his surprise
and added:
at is news to me-"
The count on his arrival received a
large amount of mail. 1t is not yet
known when the ice conditions in the
Cattegat will permit the Frederik VIII
to sail for Copenhagen. When Count
Won Bernstorff was told that he could
travel to Copenhagen by rail he said
he preferred to remain on board the
ship as he and his many friends had a
large amount of baggage which would
make a change in his plans difficult.
Count Won Bernstorff passed Satur-
day in Christiania sightseeing and
meeting German officials. In the eve
ming he attended a dinner given in his
honor at the German legation.

over a two-mile line of march to Faneuil

throng and passed the time with listen

There was no band. There were no

PLAN TO RUSH
CONSTRUCTION OF
WOODEN SHIPS
Federal Shipping Board Takes
Steps for Building Large
Number in Atlantic Coast
Yards to Aid U. S. Industry
in Meeting the International
Emergency

Washington, March u.-Steps looking
to the speedy construction of a large
number of wooden ships. of from 5000 70
3ooo tons register, in American yards on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to aid
American industry in meeting the inter
national emergency, were taken Saturday
by the federal shipping board in the is-
suance of a call to the chief builders
of such craft for a meeting with the
board here March II.
The boards program calls for the adop-
ton of one or more standard sizes. the
training of unskilled labor should skilled
labor be requsitioned by the government
"a course thought likely in case of war
and cooperation of lumber interests and
the railroads in furnishing and expedit-
ing materials.
Might Commander Yards
After the conference with Atlantic and
Gulf coast builders the board will confer
with builders on the Pacific coast Should
the builders not voluntarily agree upon
uniform program, it was broadly ini-
mated that the government might com
mandeer the yards and take over the
work.
Tentative estimates before the board
show that under the program a 5000
ton wooden ship can be built in from
four to five months and that the yards
available for this class of work can
construct up to 1000 such craft within
comparatively short time in case of
emergency.
Present plans are to use the vessels
in transatlantic trade and if necessary
in coast-to-coast traffic via the Pan
anna Canal. 1t was stated that the
ships Slso might be used to convey
foodstuffs to "other nations whose in
terests would be in harmony with those
of the United States" in event of war
and types selected as standard would be
chosen with a view to their availability
for use in war as we'll as in peace
