Would Build Two
 of Proposed Boats
 Without Any roft
President Grace of Bethlehem Steel Company Says His Company Will Build Boats and Deliver Them Quickly.
(By Review Leased Wire ]

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 13.-Speak- ing before the Terrapin Club here to- night on the complaint of the navy department against the high bids re- ceived for warships, Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, said that his company had de- termined to make an offer 10 the government that if it will build two of the four authorized battlecruisers in navy yards, the Bethlehem Con- pany will construct the other two at the cost of building the ships in the government yards, without additional expense. or commissions of any kind. Also we will contract to, have our ships ready for service ahead of the government ships," he said.
 Drawing attention to a letter writ ten by the secretary of the navy to the chairman of the House commit tee on naval affairs asking for an ap- propriation of $12.0OO,00O to equip navy yards to build the four ships, MT. Grace said the request was made without any assurance that the gov ernment can build the cruisers cheap CT than private ship builders.
 Tt would be a real advantage to Bethlehem Steel Ship Yards to be relieved of any obligation to enter upon, this naval construction" MT. Grace said. ''The profit from it can not possibly amount to much and the responsibility is enormous, but we do feel patriotic obligation in the mat ter and We realize that it is our duty to do everything we can to make our plant and experience available for the use of the American government"
 The policy of the navy department. Mir. Grace said, seems to embody an effort to discourage private enterprise and to divert all work for national de- fense to government plants.
 Referring to recent announcement that British manufacturer had un- derbid American concerns for shells for the navy. Grace said it should be remembered that the British navy has seen but little action and that it is entirely conceivable that there is a surplus of naval shells on hand which the British government might be willing to have it's munition mak- CTS dump into the United States and turn the proceeds into shells for use on the battlefelds

 Search for Missing
 Birdmen In Mexico
Lieut.. Col. Harry G. Bishop and Lieut.. w. A. Robertson Still Missing-Gov. Cantu Aids Americans.
CBy Review Leased Wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l3.-Five civilian aviator searching parties with five days provisions were blowing the sand wastes of northern Mexico to- night in a rainstorm hunting for Lieut. Colonel Harry G. Bishop and Lieut. W. A. Roberts. Jr, two army aviators lost in the desert without food or wa ter since Wednesday. The rain that impeded their progress was a blessing for the lost aviators if they are still alive and marooned in the parched Mexican desert, as is believed.
 No news yet" Colonel w. E. Wild CT, U. s. A.. telegraphed western divi- sion headquarters here tonight. The message added that the Mexican con sul at CaleXico had telegraphed the governor of the state of Sonora to or- der out troop of cavalry to aid in the search. Mounted soldiers under orders of Governor Cantu. of Lower California, are already in the search and the American commander at Yuma has been asked to cooperate.
 Brigadier General Henry Mccain. adjutant general of the army. tele- graphed western department headquar ters here today from Washington that information had reached him indicat- ing that Bishop and Robertson had been forced to land about 100 miles south of the border.
 In his message Colonel Wilder seem ed to favor the theory that the men were somewhere east of the oil bed of the Colorado river and it was in that section the troops of the governor of Sonora were wanted, This theory would fit in with the belief that the men mistook Laguna for the .Salton Sea.
 It was thought likely that Bishop and his fellow flyer were trying to make their way afCot over the sandy wastes to the border leaving their ma chine behind them.

Statement of Terms for Peace From Central Powers May Be Next Expected in Present Status of Affairs.
EARLY PEACE NOT
 EXPECTED BY MANY
President Is Said Not to Have Determined His Position He May Ask for Statement From Germanic Nations.
(By Review Leased WIre)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-A state allies at least as comprehensive as those set forth by the entente allies in replying to President Wilson's note is the next move hoped for here in the peace negotiations.
 Whether time will be allowed for
 the Teutonic nations to state their terms on their own initiative. or whe- ther President Wilson will make some move to give an opening. remains un- determined. There are indications. however, that if no statement of the Teutonic terms is forthcoming within a reasonable time the United States may seek a means to indicate the de- sirability of such a course.
 It was reiterated today that the President had not determined on his position. and it was pointed out that in his note he said he was indifferent to the means employed for comparing terms. He is reluctant to judge be- tween the two replies and has not made his impressions of the entente Lote. In other administration quarters it has been suggested. however, that the objects which the President had in mind could best be promoted now by the central powers publicly declar- ing their terms.
 Officials are watching particularly just now the trend of public sentiment abroad. and the apparent change since the despatch of the Presidents note has proved source of increasing qualification. The first feeling of in- dignation among the allies because of the coincidence of the Presidents pro- posal with that of the central powers has abated. it is believed here. and is being replaced by a conviction that good may come from the American note.
 There is no indication in official circles. however. that an early peace is thought probable. On the contrary, the statement of the allies objects. it is recognized. has made acceptance by Germany very difficult for the pres- ent. however. far las it may have gone toward establishing preliminary basis which may facilitate peace negotia- tions toward the end of hostilities.
 First expressions of bitterness in Germany over the entente reply are somewhat discounted here. and it is felt there may be a chance of senti- ment just as there was in the entente countries in regard to the Presidents note. It is conceded that for the pres ent the desire for a prosecution of the war will be quickened.
 The German view here is that there is likelihood of a public statement of specific terms by the Teutonic allies at this time unless further move to that end is made by the President. Should a request for such statement be forwarded to Berlin. however. it is declared Germany probably would com ply
 It has been the contention of leu tonic diplomats that in proposing a peace conference Germany fulfilled the Presidents suggestion that an early occasion be sought for discussion of terms. and that no other step is called for unless there is a second and more specific request
