Of wooden ships that could, by resort
to every means, be built. The offers
on wooden ships, as I have stated
above, were for the delivery of five
hundred of them within twelve

The members of the British War Mis-

Defense that one ship before January

could be assured of adequate tonnage

thew could weather the storm. How
ever, few steel ships can be produced

of the ships. In this grave war

tors are time of delivery and the

the use of ordinary carpenters and
bridge builders, and only a minimum
number of skilled ship carpenters.
Also a very large proportion OF the
total cut of lumber could be used IN
their construction
Definite information had been
sought as to the number of ships OF
these designs that could be built in
this country. Il was the idea Of the
Shipping Board not only to call upon
the services of tie shipbuildeTs, but

depart from the conventional lines
of shin design, and shortly after he
assumed office as head of the Emer-

No attention was paid these protests
and everything was suspended pend

DR.. HARGIS Gets

DIR. ]. Whiting Hargis yesterday
received a commission from the Uni
ted States as Captain in the Medical
Reserve Corps, and will probably be
assigned for foreign duty in a short
while. A number of Pensacola physi-
clans volunteered their service to the
United States when the war started,
but comparatively few, so far, have
been accepted. DR.. Hargis is one of
the oldest and best known practi-

the third is more ships" Under these
circumstances can we afford to over
look any available resource that will
help US in the quick construction of
ships?
1t is not a question of how long
these ships will last or what value
they win be after the war. 1t il
solely a question of getting as many
ships as we possibly can and as
quickly as possible. Sooner or later
we will awake to our need of ships
and when we do we can have them,
but we must awaken to this need
before it is too late. .et US hope
that Germany will not be able to say
of US as she said of her enemies

MADE DEFECTIVE SHELLS.
Workmen. Under Bail, Admit Leav
ing Off Paper Wrappings.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, December IS
Charles Sholla. a former employe OF the
frankfort arsenal. was held under $500
bail by federal commissioner yester-
day charged with having failed prop
erly to set the fuses of shells intended
for Gen. Pershing's army. William
Lepkowski. another former employee.
was held under $500 bail on a similar
charge last week.
Sholia and Lepkowski admitted today
that they had left of certain paper wrap-
pings, which made the shells defective.
because they could turn out mc-e work
and thus earn more money. They in
sisted they had no idea the shells would
be defective. Both said they were loyal
to the United States.
