ing through which 1t Is possible to pro
duce I'm quantities shells which viii
conform to the requirements.
The result Is that up to now on that
contract of $766, 600. We have put into
actual operating expense $447, ISL. and
have been penalized for nOn-delivery
S495, IA, a total Of S943. 825.. with no
receipts whatever
Such was the experience in the light
OF which We were called upon recent.
" to bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells ut approx.
mately the same rate per pound ~
that Of q fOurteen-inch shell contract
Of one year ago upon which the Gov.
eminent awarded contracts.
We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making Of
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There II no certain
ty that 1t would be possible for ~ to
deliver q shell to meet the test.
For officers In the Navy to assume
that any bid made under such condi-
lions II "exorbitant" IL utterly unfair
We bid on the new battls-cruisefD
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination of our books, found
would yield profit Of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs Of materials and Ia
Dor, that made 1t possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap-
propriated by Congress on the basis Of
the cost estimates made a year ego.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates of the
Navy Department the prices are called
''eXOrkitant."
1t would be a real advantage to be
relieved of this naval construction. The
profit from 1t cannot possibly amount
to much. and the responsibility is snor-
nous.
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government.
III you will build two. Of the battle
cruisers In Government navy yards.
we will build the other two at the as
certained cost Of building the ships In
the Government yards. without addi-
tional expense or commissions of any
kind We will also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead Of
the Government ships"

CHINESE BREAK is EXPECTED
Both Houses Vote for Rupture With
Germany.

Picking. March 13.-~ The Senate has
approved the severance OF relations
with Germany by vote of 49, to 81.
1t Is expected that the government
viii take action to this end immedi.
ately. The House previously has ap-
proved the projected break by vote
of ISL to ST.
After the House had approved the
severance Of relations, the German
minister presented a note to the for.
eign office offering to negotiate for the
protection of Chinese lives and prop
erty in the submarine zone.
In official circles 1t is believed the
legation hoped through the note to
postpone the break. 1t had no infiu-
ence on the cabinet and the Senate.
