unless Americas shipping program Is
SNAPPED to meet the submarine men,

shipping board officials on as never
before.
Moreover. It is indicated In sub-rosa
channels that definite strikes are to
be made, and that II necessary over
worked doubly-busy President Wilson
Will inject himself into the proceedings
IN such a way that something will
move.
The stupendous feature of the entire
program is the cost. The fact that
America must enter into the war pro-
gram on large scale means that she
must add billions to her original esti-
mates in the acquisition of fleets to
take her men and supplies to the
scene of hostilities, and 1t means that
all other expenditures will go for
naught unless the transportation ex-
pense is added to it.
Likewise It means that eventually
we must determine upon some kind
or an industrial conscription-just
what kind no one cares to say Just
at this time. Certain 1t is, however,
that II We are to build ships as fast
as We should be must have thou

Spain, 19; Denmark, 8; Belgium, z;
China, and the other nations Of
the world total OF L.
These are yards where steel ships
are fabricated. not where wooden ves-
sells are constructed, the number of
such constructions having been rela-
lively very small, according to the
same statements.
or the number noted above, $50 In
all. there are 2e4 yards equipped suf-
lciently to construct vessels of more
