WASHINGTON, Sept 1S-Govern-
ment officials charged with the con-
duct of the war, from President Will
son down, are coming rapidly to the
conclusion that the pooling system is
the only practical means of putting
the industries of the country under
forced draught and turning out the
work required to keep army, especial
ly the heavy artillery. going at full
speed. The pooling system has been
STAYED off until now by administra-
ton leaders, because of the bugaboo
OF government ownership. Pooling
under government supervision has
been considered suggestive of pub
lie ownership but with the federal
government now brushing aside all re-
straint that interfere with war plans,
pooling will be restored to on every
hand.
The way was paved this afternoon
for final agreement on the war rev
enue bill when the senate conferees,
confronted with an absolute deadlock
yielded to the house and accepted an
incrc4lse in second class postal rates
affecting newspapers and magazines.
The agreement on this point came
after Majority Leader Kitchin of the
conferees threatened to hold up the
whole measure unless the senate ac-
cepted the second class postal rates
as adopted by the house.

Terrific Storm
Sweeps Atlantic
Many Believed Lost In Fierce Gale At
Orleans, Massachusetts, Today
Schooner Breaking To Pieces.
q. N. S. Leased Wirel

ORLEANS, Mass, Sept. 1S-Four-
teen men are believed to have been
lost as the result of a schooner and
three barges going ashore at two diff
ferent points near here during the
night.
A schooner, apparently a three-mas-
ter, is breaking to pieces on the outer
sand bar.
From the size of the schooner it is
estimated that it carried seven or
eight men.
Three barges are ashore, one and
one-half miles off the Pamet river
life saving station, about 400 yards
off shore on an outside bar.
Barge crews number at least two
men each, so the total number of men
carried by the three barges is figured
at six at least.
The sixty mile wind and high sea
make it impossible to get life boats
out to the wrecked vessels and the
distance was too far to shoot life lines.

GERMANY CUTS DOWN SUGAR
SUPPLY FOR ALLIED NATIONS
By l. N. S. Correspondent
George w. Davis

win have shortage of $1,000 tons
and Italy 115,000 tons. This makes a
total of 1,744,504 tons. There was a
consumption in the United States OF
3,9S01S1 tons. 1t is apparent then
that the needs of the allies will de-
mand about thirty per cent of last
years total production.
Sugar expectation and consumption
have increased enormously during the
past few months. Latest figures show
that the stock of sugar on hand at At
lantic ports is 210,S84 tons, or 129,039
tons less than the stock on hand at
the same time last year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S-With
city officials, strikers and officers of
the gigantic plants concerned looking
with anxious eyes towards Washing
ton from whence the next move in the
industrial controversy here is expected
to come, the second day of the strike
of the iron trades dawned with the
police and military authorities pre-
pared for any emergency while more
than 10000 men are out of work and
wander about the streets, causing
grave apprehension on the part of the
police The leaders in the city are
endeavoring to find more methods of
breaking of the deadlock with the EN-
ploying corporations so that there
may be a peaceful settlement of the
strike. The shipbuilding plants and
other munition factories are under
the guard of detachments of United
States marines today and fear is felt
by the municipal authorities that
there may be recurrence of the acts
of violence which characterized the
walkout.
Someone with sufficient pull" may
prevail upon the government to send
troops into the vicinity at once. Not
only is Uncle Sans vast shipping
program being seriously hampered by
the strike, but the aero fleet upon
which the government hopes to turn
the tide of the war in favor of the
allies is badly in need of the engines
which are being turned out in large
quantities by the Hall-Scott Motor
company of Berkeley, which is one of
the plants idle because of the strike
This is the largest concern in the
west, making high class aeroplane en-
gines and it had been operated ever
since the beginning of the war on a
24-hour schedule.
Although there were no conferences
planned for today it was announced
early this morning that probably an
other effort would be made on the
part of the representative of the fed
eral government to bring the two
sides of the controversy together tC
discuss further the deadlock whicl
now EXISTS in the business.
The vicinity of the Union IroI
Works, the largest of the shipbuildint
