WASHINGTON, Mar 15.-Contracts for what is believed to be the largest single order for fighting craft ever given by any nation were placed by the navy department today. Private builders undertook to turn out four great battle cruisers and five scout cruisers, costing nearly $l12,000,000 for hulls and machinery alone. and pledged themselves to keep 70 percent of their working forces on navy con struction.
 Builders Are Patriots
 In response to an appeal to their patriotism by Secretary Daniels. the major ship builders have agreed to accept 10 percent net profits on the battle cruisers, whose cost will rep resent about S76,000,0O0 of the total sum involved in today's contracts. A fifth battle cruiser will be built at the Philadelphia navy yard, so as not to strain the limit of facilities of private establishments.
 The builders are beseiged with of fers of merchant work, and are get ting as high as 90 percent profit on these jobs with more work in sight than they can do. They have placed

 Order Totaing SIP, ,OOOOOO Shipyards Loyal

With the exception of the New York Company, each private builder will have to install new ways and machin- cry for the huge craft. The govern ment will bear its fair share of this expense.

 Four of the scout cruisers will be built on the Pacific coast, two by the Seattle Construction Company. and two by the Union Iron Works at San Francisco. The other two will be built by Wm. Cramp and Sons of Philadelphia.

LONDON, Mar. 15.-News of the Russian revolution reached London too late for the evening papers but it will not be altogether a surprise to the public The sudden closing down Of the Duma and the council of the empire in Petrograd, news of which reached London on Sunday. together with news of food .iOts in the Rus sian capital, which although, accord ing to telegraphic reports, were not of serious nature, caused considera- ble speculation here as to how events were progressing.
 . The proclamation by the military governor in Petrograd forbidding any street assemblages and declaring that any disorders would be ruthlessly suppressed made it apparent that af fairs were graver than the dispatches allowed by the Russian censorship would indicate. Then came two days of absolute silence from Petrograd which extended even to official war bulletins and rumoTs began to cirCu- late that some kind of revolution was happening. These reports were run liu NspA tals.
 The struggle between the Duma and the reactionary party in Russia has been known to be proceeding with great bitterness for a long time and repeated changes in the ministerial ranks showed that matters were far from settled
 Little was permitted to appear in the English papers. From time to time news percolated from different quarters as to how liberal Russia was struggling against pro-German influ- ences in the persons of Sumner. Pro topopoff and other high persOnages. The assassination of Rasputin was another proof as to what lengt s t e struggle was proceeding but the dis appearance of this notorious person age appeared still to leave the Ger man reactionary influences exceeding ly strong in the high places.

 The brotherhood chiefs contend their demand for the basic eight-hOur day for all classes of work, with pro- rata time for overtime, would give them only what they would gain un- der the provisions of the Adamson law. They have abandoned their orig fnal demand for time and a half for overtime.

 Declaring the rank and file of the brotherhood membership had become impatient and would tolerate no fur ther delay in enforcing their demand, Mir.

 No formal outline of the brother hoods program. beyond the plans for these two days, was made either to the managers or to the public. It was said. however. that the freight en- ployes on the other roads in the coun- try would be called out in groups at twelve or twenty-four hour intervals after Sunday. If the paralysis of freight traffic thus caused does not result in surrender by the railroads before that time, the employees on all passenger trains will be ordered out Wednesday.
 Many to Buck Strike?
 The railroad managers said tonight they expected that enough. of their men would remain loyal to enable them to maintain a skeleton service on most roads. The managers some time ago caused a census of their em- ployes to be taken to tell them how many would go on strike. This re- suited. it is said, in varying percent ages, ranging from a few on some roads to fifty or sixty percent on oth- CT roads.
