Correspondents OF The Associated Press
Manchester, April 26.-A commit
tee Of shipping experts here has
adopted a report against the building
Of small ships In preference to big
ones to Offset the submarine danger.
Thelreport says:
"The policy OF small ship construc-
ton can only have a most disastrous
effect on the nation, the man power
required by the army and our chances
of victory. The Germans claim to be
sinking 100000 tons year, and
hope to sink more. Allowing losses
by mines and natural causes to bal
ance any exaggeration Of German
claims and assuming that we build
one-half the lost tonnage (about two
and a half times our pre-war output
and other countries the balance lover
FIVE times their pre-war output, we
have increased last years output by
about 100000 tons, equivalent to
100000 tons cargo capacity per year.
Comparing ships of 1000 tons and
10000 tons displacement, carrying $50
and 8,675 tons of cargo, respectively,
and taking the North Atlantic pas
sage as a basis, we should be re-
quired to build each year 2,460 Of the
smaller ships, but only 1856 Of the
larger.

MIDWEST DELIGHTS
FRENCH VISITORS
Deep Sympathy for Cause of
France is Revelation to
Viviani and Joffre.
GREETING MOST CORDIAL

With the French War Commission,
May 9.-The voice of the middle west
has spoken to Frances war mission
in terms unmistakable, message of
defiance to Germany and its allies,
Frances distinguished representa-
tiyes are impressed by the universal
determination of Americas foreign
population in responding to the call.
Even in the cities where the Germans
and Austrians are large part of the
inhabitants the earnestness OF the
pledges given was a revelation.
Surprised and Delighted.
NJ. Viviani, leader of the mission,
speaking of the trip, said:
"We have been surprised and de-
lighted at our generous welcome IN
the middle west. The expressions OF
cordial friendship that were, every
where extended US was particularly
remarkable. That every member of
the communities of whatever race
should have shown SO deep sym
pathy with the cause Of France deeply
gratifed us and has been revelation.
For BY direct contact with things
alone we can realize what they really
are, and in spite of all we have read
and heard of the immense facilities Of
the organizing power of America we
found our conceptions surpassed on
this visit"
Joifre Much Encouraged.
Marshal Joffre, when asked his i'm
pressions, said: -.
"On my return to France ! shall
bear away not only the pleasantest
memory of most encouraging sights
everywhere, but al, assurance for my
soldiers and the allies that cahnot but
raise their spirits. They shall know
from me that not only are the i'm
mense resources OF America pledged
to the cause of civilization, but that
Americans are with them in spirit as
we'll" .

viani, Marshal Joffre and the men,

gan whirlwind tour to view the
points of historic interest, beginning
at Independence Hall, the shrine Of
liberty. Cheering crowds were every
where.

The committee informally dis
cussed before going to the White
House, the question of putting the
appropriation on the $2,8OO,OOO,OoO
army and navy deficiency bill already
passed by the senate. That bill has
been almost completed by the COM
mittee and could be reported to the
senate for action in few days.

Policy Of Building Small Ships is
Wrong is New of British Experts

Et1l,000000 and the larger only
G46000,00O. The small ships would
use 1,55C,000 tons of steel and $4,000
tons of timber and would consume
6,75000O tons OF coal on the outward
voyage year. The larger ships
would absorb 100000 tons of steel
and $4,000 tons of timber and con-
sumo only 100000 tons of coal.
1.-THE number of men employed. in
building the ships, including making
and handling steel and other mate
rails, would be 635,000 for the smaller
ships and 285,0OO for the larger. The
coal consumed would account for as
600 men for the small ships as against
10,500 for the large. Thus the larger
ships would release about $4,000 per-
sons for other national service. More
over, the larger ships would require
10000 fewer mariners.
again the percentage of loss
both in number Of ships and in cargo
carrying capacity will be greater
with small ships than large and the
former will produce greatest conges-
ton in ports.
1.-THE policy Of the small ships,
therefore, Is all wrong. All our ship
building energies should be directed
towards building the largest ships our
various wards can efficiently handle"
