THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
WORK BUILDING SHIPS
River Clyde for z Miles One
Vast Yard Devoted to
ShipbuildiIlg
By Lowell Millett,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Glasgow, May a. (By maiD-A
day on the River Clyde helps explain
Lloyd Georges confidence, that the
submarine menace will be beaten. A
snare-drum roar from thousands OF
steam riveters and a battlefield drum
fire of crashing hydraulic hammers, un
ending miles of wooden and steel scat
folding with workmen swarming over
them like flies; towering cranes that
look capable of lifting county court
house and setting it down in the next
county; these are some of the reasons.
Girls-thousands and thousands of
trouseeetted girls-furnish so many ad-
ditional reasons.
And then there are certain reasons
visible to the eye concerning which
secrecy is imposed. They constitute a
method of direct warfare against sub
marines ard are already proving their
effectiveness, but more than that can
not be tcld.
The Clyde was the greatest ship
building center in the world before the
war began. Now it dwarfs its own
activities of three years ago. For
twenty-five miles on one side of the
river immense plants crowd against one
another; the same is true for half the
distance on the other side of the
river. Soon it will be the whole dis
tance on both sides.
The worlds biggest fighting craft
down the ways here few days ago,
but work stopped many months ago on
what sas to be the worlds biggest
merchant ship. Instead smaller ships
and mere of them are being built.
Rows on rows Of skeletons, some bare,
some partly dressed in their armor-
plate show how the new policy of
building standardized ships is beng
carried cut. Builders report 1t means
forty percent gain in speed of con-
struction.
"Unlass the destructiveness of the
German submarines is greatly in
creased, the extension of British ship
ping will practically take care of the
situation by autumn" said Fred Lob
nitz. munitions director for Scotland.
"This does not take into account the
huge preparations under way in Amer
iea.'
More than one shipbuildipg along the
river displayed a keen perception Of
the probable acceleration Of America s
output.
The fact that they are compelled TO
rely on women and girls for an i'm
mense proportion of their labor has
eessed 10 be considered handicap, the
shipbuilders say. Aside from such work
as calls for sheer muscle, they declared
the women are completely qualified as
proved by the fact that they are aver
aging a larger output per person than
men in the same WORK ayeraged-be-
fore the war. The same increase in
output stree the war began, of course
has been shown BY the men.
Women are used chiefly in work
where automatic devices take the
heavy lifting Off their hands.
Thus feminine hands are seen turn
ing out fifteen inch shells practically
without masculine assistance, doing the
bulk Of the work on the famous British
tanks, CUR carriers and, naturally, on
aeroplanes and airships.

ARGENTINE DON'T
BELIEVE In us

Buenos Aires, June 1.-The Ar
gentine view is that the United
States is going to war rather be-
cause she has a good excuse than
because she has a good reason.
The Argentines who do think the
United States had an adequate
reason are also Of the opinion that
this reason was not the considera-
ton which led her into the war.
1t is generally their Judgment
that the United States wanted to
fight. They believe the United
States to be a victim Of the same
sort of psychological influence
which, after the commission OF a
sensational crime or a suicide, OF
ten causes the incident to be lml-
fated by others. They call atten-
ton to the fact that North Amer
leans are accepting universal mill
! !tary service, food control and 9th
er big changes in the interests Of
(,he national service. The Argen-
time idea is that North Americans
actually want to suffer hardships
|and privations because other peo-
pie are doing so.
That is why Argentina is rather
gently toward the attitude North
America has taken.
