 0F MERCHANT SHIPS
ALL OVER 2,5oo TONS NOW BEING BUILT ARE REQUIslTloNED-
 TO RUSH COMPLETION.

Washington. The emergency fleet corporation requisitiened all merchant vessels of more than 2,500 tons now building in American ship yards. Dou- ble and triple labor shifts will ce put in the yard to speed construction.
 There are building in the country $ yards about TOO ships, totaling more than 1,50000O in tonnage, most of 1t contracted for by foreign firms. Amer ican vessels will be retained by the shipping board for operations, while final disposition of the foreign craft will be left to negotiations between the United States and the govern ments concerned.
 No announcement was made as to the amount of tonnage taken over, but the shipping boards records sho~ that about TOO vessels of nearly 2s- 100000 tons of all classes are build ing.
 As fast as the yards are cleared q their present construction they would be put TO work on the great fleet the government will build. The yards were ordered to enter into no more contracts or commitments for private construction and to begin no new wofk on contracts already made without first obtaining the permission of the feet corporation.
 Much of the tonnage building IS for British and Norwegian accounts. It's final disposition will be left to nego- tiation with the governments con cerned, although the president has power to retain it if the tonnage Is needed by the United States. The British government, 1t is understood is willing to relinquish to this country all of it's tonnage building here. The American ships requisitioned will De kept for operation by the shipping board
 The shipping board and the fleet corporation still have under consider ation the plan of Maj. Gen. Goethais, formerly manager of the corporation, for construction of two government owned ship yards Rear Admiral Capps, now manager, It Is uhnelstoou' does not look on the scheme with Ia vor and believes the ships can be built in private owned plants.
 Plans for requisitioning American tonnage now on the sease have been held up temporarily by the shipping board until legal technicalities are strengthened out.

REMAINDER OF DRAFT FORCES TO FILL GAPS IN REGULARS
 FORM RECRUIT RESERVOIR.
NATIONAL GUARDS PASSING
War Department Takes Over Recruit. ing, the Entire Guard Having Be come Part of the Army of
 the United States.

ngton.-Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder and his assistants are at work on the final set of regulations to he promulgated to complete the or ganization of the selectiye draft war army They will govern actual mo bilization of the men selected.
 Statements issued by the War De partment show that preliminary fig ures place the total force of the na- tional guard taken into the federal service August at 1908 officers and 419.834 men. Another statement shows that 1S0,766 war volunteers have been recruited for the regular service since April l, leaving only about 1000 vacancies in the regulars at war strength.
 These figures mean that approxi- mately 725,00O men are under arms, exclusive of the navy and marine corps, to be supplemented within the next few weeks by 6S7, 900 raised un- der the selective draft bill. Of the latter number about 500,000 will com pose the third great element of the war army, the new national army, and the remainder will go to fill up the regulars and the guard and their re- serves.
 The War Department has taken over recruiting for the national guard as well as the regulars, the entire guard having now become a part of the army of the United States and having no connection with the states.
 It is regarded as likely that the mo- bilization regulations soon to be is- sued will show that the surplus of drafted men is to be used as recruit reservoir and that all the men will be put under training as quickly as pos sible A recruit depot will be estab- lished in France, from which regi- ments at the front will be kept filled up, drafts of men from the main re cruit depot in this country being sent :. over to this distribution center as needed In the same way, sick or wounded men will be returned to the front when recovered and steady HOW OI recruits to HldlAtdlu dCLlFC regiments at top fighting efficiency will be provided in this way.
 The only hint of the probablemethod of mobilization of drafted men lies in a recent ruling by Gen. Crowder, which shows that the adjutant gen. ~eral may summon the quotas of the districts in increments Division of each quota into five equal parts is sug- gested, each part to be called up SC parately as needed.
 Under this arrangement it would ne possible to call out at once the men to form the new national army and to summon later those who are to com pose the reserves for all elements of the army. Men temporarily needed in harvest fields or elsewhere could be classified by local boards into these latter increments to meet emergency situations in their districts without delaying organization of new forces.

 KEEP PRICES DOWN
ALLIES WILL PARTICIPATE
Control of Prices of Coal, Coke, Steel Iron, Aluminium, Wire, Zinc. Conner Lead, Cement, Lumber and Other
 Derivatives Sought

Washington. - President Wilso, turned his attention to the subiecf os war prices and paid a personal visit to the federal trade commission to urge expedition of investigations to as. certain the costs of producing mater. ials required by the government.
 At the presidents direction inc commission has undertaken inunirias to determine production costs on most of the basic supplies needed for war purposes, including coal, coke. steel iron, aluminium, wire, zinc. copper lead, cement, lumber and their deriv. atives. Preliminary reports will he forthcoming within a few weeks.
 Announcement of definite policy re. specting war purchases and prices probably will be made soon. Adminis. tration officials generally already have rather clearly defined ideas as to the course the government will pur- sue. War profits will be kept to q minimum and if producers and manu. lecturers evince any great unwilling. ness to supply the country's war needs at reasonable prices the governments power to commander materials will be invoked
 The biggest problem occupying of fieials studying war prices is protec. tion for the general public Although the proposal is meeting determined opposition, the administration intends that the allies shall share with this government in reduced costs for sup plies.
 It is realized, however, that heavy government purchases will tend 10 raise prices to private consumers. The administration desires to keep prices generally down without resort to legislation. Some officials believe this may be done in an indirect way when the new war industrie board begins to decide priority oi manufac ture and shipment of goods.
