these ninety-fvc IL Is safe to say that
the keels of most Of them are not yet
laid. "A majority OF them are under
contract with yards that did not exist
Few months ago or were not equipped
for the building Of large ships.
These new yards have thousand
problems to contend with that are
matters OF routine with the established
yards now chock-s-bl block with COM
Wandered ships. Practically all Of
them will be assembling plants at first,
rather than shipyards. which means
that once they start they will turn out
ships much faster than the old-stylc
yard. 4 large part of them will work
on the 7,300-ton standard ships, and
their engines. boilers and general
equipment will be standardized and arc
being made ready while the yards arc
going forward. For example. all of
the boilers for lao ships arc being
built by one company.
Even the Federal Shipbuilding Com
pany. which is merely another name
for the shipbuilding venture of the
United States Steel Corporation, will
not pause TO make itself finished
yard before il gets to work on its
ships. The Federal has ten ways and
has the same number of ships. of 1000
tons each. under contract from the
Shipping Board.

First Keel Will
Soon Be Laid Down

This company began work on its
yards little more than n month ago,
and the first keel will be laid about
November Is. The first ship will be
completed in May. and all of them will
be at work before the end of 1918.
Only twelve other yards had received
orders at the time of the last official
statement issued by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. There were no
other yards or prospective yards ready
to take contracts at that time. As a
matter of fact, the Emergency Fleet
Corporation has only begun on its own
steel ship programme. This contem-
plates about S25 ships of total ton
mage of about 6.650,000. Only quar-
ter of this amount has been begun.
Difficulties, however to board with
such powers and resources as those OF
the Shipping Board are only incentives
to unceasing activity. II has under
taken to complete in 1918, including
800 wooden. SO composite and 400
requisitioned, ,036 ships of total ton
mage of almost 100000.

Task That Can
And viii Be Done

1t can be done. It must be done. 1t
will be done. The country will accept
nothing less. To us has fallen, in the
strenuous union of prodigious efforts,
a nations job of transport for the
Allied world. We have the men, the
materials. the money and we can pro-
vide the instrumentalties. This Is a
war Of wonders. of achievements that
dwarf the most tremendous realiza-
tions Of human energy in the ancient or
modern worlds.
The task set for the Shipping Board
and the Emergency Fleet Corporation
is great. but not too great IN TINS day
of greatness. II is only question OF
energizing leadership and direction.
America teens with brains and energy
for this test Add the touch OF an IN
spired fury Of speed. magnificent con-
centration of purpose and determine

WASHINGTON, Oct S0.-The despair

The despair is in the fact that when

,.,;on lies in the fact that so much
.h;npjrc was under way. or course,
there was nothing for the board TO DO

sooner.
That we are getting or are 20 get

Cunard Line, the British government

ians had many, the French had some.
American shipping companies and
SPECTATORS. keen for the tremendous

Ships and More Ships
The Crying Need

Much has been done along these
lines. but much more might nave been
done if everybody had been animated
rom the beginning with keen appre-
citation that the towering requirement
of the hour is first ships, second snlps
and third ships, and that 10 get them
we must work with haste, haste and
more haste. Wonderful things have
been done in American shipyards. but
more must be done.
The public. now fully aware OF the
vital importance Of ships, is eager TO-
information regarding their production
but between the supernuous restrlc-
lions Of a voluntary censorship and the
ideas of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton as TO what should not be pub
lished, the public is not learning Of the
really inspiring things that are being
done. Il hears of all the strikes and
of all the sinkings OF ships, but IT
gets little or no information about the
launching of ships or OF the trlumphs
Of the workers.
Great ships are taking to the water
almost daily, and every shipbuilder and
craftsman who mas had hand in their
construction feels like a victorious sol
der after "a hard-won battle. but none
Of this industrial battle enthusiasm IS
allowed 20 get into the papers.
One side of the shipbuilding pro-
gramme that is not generally appreciat-
ed is the fact that at the same time
we are attempting to build merchant
ships about twelve times as fast as we
have ever built them before, We are
also building warships on an unprece-
dented scale. We are planning 70 do
both right through 1918. The great
maritime construction capacity Of Brit
ain was not equal TO this dual task The
yards of the British Isles all but
stopped turning out merchant ships in
1915 and 1916, in order to build war
ships. We. who were not great mari
time power. purpose TO DO what sea-
faring England could not We purpose
10 build by the end OF 1918 some six
million tons Of merchant ships and
more naval shipping than we ever built
before. II is huge task. seemingly
impossible task, but it is not too much
for America.

have been discovered at Crestmore,
Cal, according to a bulletin issued to-
day by Professor Arthur Cakle. in the
department of geology OF the Univer-
sity of California.
Professor Cake has christened the
discoveries, respectively, "crestmore-

Good Chance to
Make a Record

II is in getting these ships launched
and complete with all possible speed
that the board has chance to make
an immediate record for itself. with
its unlimited funds, its large authority
and its complete command OF all
the shipbuiding instrumentalities and
agencies Of America, il has in the COM
plotting Of these building ships a glor'-
Gus opportunity 10 get results, break
records and win fame.
This is no time for making changes
in plans that delay The only changes
that should be tolerated are those that
hasten. Yet changes have been made
in private plans, which are delaying
ships. This is no time to tolerate
strikes. Send the strikers back to
work and settle the strike afterward.
A few million dollars, more or less to
labor now is Of no consequence COM
pared with what ships mean now, Will
mean in the winter, and, more than ALL
in the spring.
The ships that were commandeereu
were for the most part in established
going yards. With them it was not a
problem Of creating yards and oreanizl-
ING an operating force. With them II
is the problem of getting out OF mem
all that is in them. II is the problem
of two or three shifts and everlasting
driving. Il is the problem of dispens-
ing with every unnecessary item OF de-
tail or finish and getting something
afoat that will carry freight.

THE CHARACTERS

There is a haunting loveliness in the
picture Of Ernestien Waite, really the
beautiful Violet Heming, ensconsced
amid silken sheets in French boudoir,
that upsets ones sense of proportion
regarding the play. 1t does not fan,
however, to make the leading gentle
mans motivation in embarking upon
love drive thoroughly convincing. And,
after all, il is a recognized rule to
place the big scene in the third act
ff four-part play, even at the cost
Of dshing up an anti-cl;mactic finale.
The up-to date playwright should learn
20 insert his fourth act material IN
other parts Of TIE play, and then surely
little could be found TO condemn.
The comedy of manners is apt to be-
tray surprises as to unconventional de-
pertinent in high society, but, after all,
novelty is the spice of the theatre.
When Ernestcn finds that in addition
to having taken the position OF social
secretary TO Mrs Gramercy Harden
that lady's on-in-law, Tom Bridgman,
hopes that she will also assume the re-
sponsibilities OF correspondent In
order to enable him TO obtain a divorce,
she is really initiated into high life.
All that is needed to complete her edu-
cation is the lesson OF the house party,
which inevitably ensues.
This is getting somewhat ahead or
the story. IL is necessary to know IN
the first place that Ernestien has left
her home in the South to seek employ
meat because TIE opportunities of the
too ardent Bruce Markham have made
her detest the idea of marriage as
means of support. Bruce, having once
instituted the love drive, never loses
sight OF the objective for a moment.
He pursues Ernesticn to New York,
obtains an invitation TO the house
party and arranges his engagement to
the granddaughter of Ernestien's en-
ployer, whom he does net mean TO
marry. Such proof of his Inconsistency
is a palpablc shock TO Ernestien, and
before she can recover he assures her
that the mere formality of marriage
means nothing in the face Of such a
Iassion as his for her. Then he pro-
ceeds TO tamper with the list assigning
beds TO tho various guests, to the end
that he may occupy the chamber ad-
joining Ernestien's in the third act.
The drive continues without truce.
Ernestien has just said good night to
the sweet young thing 20 whom Bruce
is afianced, nestled snugly in the
silken couch. and disposed herself ef-
fectively either for reading or some
other possible eventuality other than
sleep, when the door Of the adjoining

The Pivotal Wa
lob of 1918

II is the pivotal war job Of 1915.
If we cant achieve it we shall be
Of little help TO the Allies.
Nevertheless, that the country may
appreciate the magnitude Of the task
that confronts the Shipping Board, and
that it may thus be in q state of mind
to help. a few facts need emphasis.
SO far as can be learned, the board
has contracted for only 2S5 steel ships.
OF these 40 are to be constructed in
three fabrication plants. leaving only
ninety-fve steel ships as yet ordered
from privately owned shipyards. OF
