STEEL AND WOODEN SHIPS
MUST Be QUICKLY BUILT
Rear Admiral Caps, Chairman
of Emergency Fleet IS
sues Statement

WASHINGTON, Aug. Both steel
and wooden ships must he built and built
quickly. Rear Admiral Capps, chairman
of the emergency fleet corporation told
shipbuilders here today.
Matters brought to my attention only
this morning indicate the vital impor-
lance of pressing this construction pro-
gram. We are in this war far more Sc
riously than vast majority of people
realize" Admiral Caps declared.
1t was his first public utterance
since taking charge of the shipbuilding
work for the government. The meet
ing of shipbuilders was called by Chair
man Hurley, of the shipping board, fol-
lowing reports that yards were delay,
ing work to gain more profitable private
schedules
Every ounce of our strength must go
into the prosecution of, this program, -
Admiral Caps said. 1.-The merits of
wooden and steel ships have nothing to
do with the case. Both classes are
important in the situation"
To plants by lumbermen that the
margin of profit was small, Admiral
Capps, manager of the emergency fleet
corporation, replied:
1--WE are all laborers in the same
vineyard. The government mas CAMEO
you to help. You will receive rea-
sonable profit"
There are to be wooden and steel boats
many of them-Admiral Caps said,
and they are to be built quickly.
While the shipbuilders and lumbermen
were being told this. Secretary of La
Dor Wilson met representatives of the
United States chamber of commerce
and ship owners, to develop plans for
supplying seamen for the oncoming car
go fleet.
The government has reached the con-
clusion that furnishing troops and sup
plies to the allies must be speeded up.
Victory is ahead, 1t is believed. Until
1t is achieved, no other consideration
peace talk included-wil interfere.
The first national guard cantonment
camp will not be ready for occupation
before August 1.-two weeks later than
originally planned.
The first five camps finished Will
house guard units federalized July 10.
The remaining camps will be ready
as scheduled-on August 10 and Sep

In Kaiser S Proclamation

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 1.-Kaiser Will
helm disclaims all idea of ambitious
schemes of conquest as the aims of the
war in his annual war anniversary
proclamation, part of the text of which
was received here today.

tinue to furnish arms" he concluded,
but our people may rest assured that
German blood and zeal have not been
gambled with for the empty shadow OF
ambition, or schemes Of conquest and

the war against us. but this does not
brighten us. We know our strength

DRYING VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS BEST WAY TO AID
Uncle Sam Addresses a Mes
sage of Importance to Ma
TONS Housewives

WASHINGTON. August 1-Uncle
Sam, through his department of agri-
culture, today expressed the belief
that one Of the best ways American
housewives can help conserve our food
supply is by drying fruits and vege-
tables at home.
His experts have prepared a short
course in this food, saving system, so
popular among grandmothers of the
American housewives of today 1t is
designed to suit your kitchen. no matter
how small or large your domestic es-
adjustment may be-
The importance attached to the plan
Tby the grand old man of the Stars and
Stripes is seen in his statement that
you are efficiently following the nations
food conservation policy if you slice and
dry so much as a single carrot pur-
chased when carrots are In season and
cheap.
This first story is to tell you why
fruit and vegetable drying at home is
important. The other seven articles, all
short and to the point, will tell you
principles and methods of drying, how
to prepare various foods for drying
homemade apparatus you need, detailed
directions for drying, precautions
against insects, how to pack and store
dried foods and recipes for cooking them
testify.
Uncle Sam believes You should buy
fruits and vegetables and dry them
when they are in season and cheap, be-
cause they will constitute a reserve sup
ply and cut your food bill later when
things are higher.
/ In Europe dried foods are one of the
biggest items of food conservation. All
surplus fruits and vegetables in city
markets are dried in municipal drying
plants. Other government plants are
built in the trucking regions. Itinery-
ant drying machines go from farm to
farm in other sections.
Dried foods are very good Many
housewives even today prefer dried
sweet corn to canned. Dried pumpkin
and squash are excellent for pies. Snap
beans strung on threads and dried above
the stove are fine.
This country is producing enormous
quantities OF perishable foods this year
which can be saved entirely If the sur
plus is dried You can help do this.
On farms, where root cellars and can
ming facilities are better, it is better
to preserve foods in those ways. The
drying methods apply particularly tc
town anrd city homes, where storing ia.
cilities are scarce and cans and glass
Jars expensive.
Dried foods will not freeze and car
be shipped more conveniently thar
canned foods in winter.
With simple and inexpensive facili-
ties, housewives everywhere can save
quantities Of food too small to can. A
few sweet potatoes, apples, peas or even
single turnip can be dried and saved
This would soon give you enough for
a meal Small lots of cabbage, carrots
turnips, potatoes and onions. saved by
drying, can be combined for soups and
stews.
