WILL COMMANDER ALL
SHIPS NOW BUILDING

Washington. June 15.-Every ship
now building in the United States vii,
be requisitioned for the use of this
country and her allies. General
George Goethals told the representa-
tives OF the principal shipbuiIders
here today.
There will be no favored nations"
ne added. THE needs OF this coun-
try~come first"
This means that the small neutrals.
particularly Norway, which is said to
have eighty per cent Of the shipbuiltl-
ing capacity of this country requi-
sitioned, will be forced to give up
these ships to meet the demands OF
the United States during the war.
The ships OF the Cunard line. OF
which there are now ia ordered in
this country. will also be comman-
sdeered by the government
The decision OF the government is
a distinct gain for the American mer-
chant marine and corresponding loss
to the nations which will have been
building ships here. The loss will fall
particularly hard upon the small
neutrals who already have suffered
heavy losses from the submarine sink
ings. The Scandinavian governments
already have presented claims to the
state department asking that the Scan
dtnayian shipping program should be
taken into consideration In view of tho
needs of ships to relieve the existing
food crises The attitude OF this gov
eminent, If 1t adheres to the policy
outlined by General Cocktails means
that the needs OF America and her
allies must be considered nrst and
then If 1t Is possible. ships as we'll as
food will be apportioned to the neu-
trails when they can be spared.
While the ships OF American COR
porations will be Communicated by
the government. General Goethals told
the shipbuilders II Is not the intention
of the emergency fleet corporation to
operate them IL they are intended for
trade that will benefit this country.

Bonar Law Announces New Move

From Members.

London. June 15.--The most i'm

Irish question was its announcement
of the release OF all Irish rebels ar

said amid cheers:
The government has decided upon
the release without further reserva-

rebellion in Ireland.
They have not. however. arrived
at this decision without careful con-
sideration of two aspects of the case
which it is impossible to ignore. They
have satisfied themselves. first, that
public security would not be endan-

second, that in none of the cases con-

bellion actually accompanied by in
