are expected to be present. The speak

has been distributed oy the thousands.
One paragraph reads:
We are not unmindful Of the difficulties
in our way. But we have resolved TO go
ahead and spare no effort TO make the
voice of protest a moral force in the life
of this country. The initial efforts OF the
conscientious DIRECTORS in England were
fraught with many hardships and danger,
but finally the government OF Great Britain
was forced 10 give heed 10 the steadily in
creasing volume of public protest against
the coercion of conscientious directors. so
we. too, in America, will doubtless meet
the full severity of the government and the
condemnation of the war-mad Jingoes. but
we are nevertheless determined to 90 ahead.
We feel confident in srousing thousands Of
people who are conscientious DIRECTORS 20

whom a principle represents the most vital
thing in life.
AT least $4,000 men in New York
are ready to stand the test whether
they can be compelled to iight,9 said
Emma Goldman. 1--WE are quietly or
ganizirg throughout the country. Our
information is that those who sup
ported Consumption will find that they
overlooked something when they come

Six members of the Woman's Peace
Party will attempt to hold services in
fifteen public schools to-day to cele-
brate the anniversary of the first Peace
Conference at The Hague. The women
selected 20 visit the schools are Mrs.
Joseph Cannon. Nellie VI. Smith, Mrs.
Ravens Brewster Bayles, Mrs. Mary
Ware Bennett, Mrs. Edward Thomas
and Agnes Wilson. No general plan
for celebrating the anniversary was
made by the Board of Education, as in
previous years, and the women an
nounced that "only those principals
who feel now more than ever that the
youth of the land must be encouraged
to look forward to world organization
will hold exercises in their schools"

Washington. May 17.-An available
American transatlantic tonnage Tor the
time being will be used to transport
supplies to Russia. France and italy
under an agreement about to be made
nv the American government with the
Allies.
Great Britain has assured the
United States that she can carry
enough supplies in her own ships to
meet the needs Of the United Kingdom
and perhaps spare some vessels to
supplement American tonnage in sup
plying the other countries.
No general agreement as 10 appor-
tionment Of shipping among the coun,
tries most in need has been worked
out. but a definite programme VIII De
decided on in the near future. Mean
while. the Shipping Board is putting
the repaired German ships into ser

them 10 the Allied governments Tor

,ieged with requests for tonnage 10

that all along its programme was steer steel

From wooden ships, supplemented oy

are now made by Mr. Denman about

The emphasis has been shifted. Per

question is one for experts. The point
is that two months have been prsc-

II is understood that the reason

comment at the War Department on

It was asserted that the apportion-
ment as announced is absolutely IN &C.
cordance with the recommendations OF
the General Staff. which devoted much
time and careful study to all the
phases Of the problem.
The War Department has made no
secret of the length of time necessary
for the training of raw recruits. and
drawing conclusions from known facts
it was considered probable that the
three main considerations in giving the
South and Southeast preponderance
of cantonment camps were:
|. Softer climate in winter, when
will expose the raw troops to less
severe hardships. go.
2. Plentiful supply of wood, OF when
cantonment camps are built, as DIS
tinguished from other military camps
which may be of tents. .,
3. Closer proximity to the seaboard
where military forces may be embarked
for foreign expeditions with greater
facility.

England has adopted the plan since IL

Now for possible construction
against destruction. II IS accepted
here that the German submarine IS de-

dition. there are many ships damaged

Moreover. depreciation m the worlds
shipping. normally 100000 tons a
wear. is likely 10 be much greater
under present conditions. Plainly
there is going to be big reduction
in the worlds tonnage by the end OF
this year.
Against it the Shipping Board esti-
mates that about 100000 tons Of ship
ping will be built by the United King
dom, the United States and the neu-
trial world. This is probably over
optimistic. A marine engineer gives
me an estimate Of 100000 tons for
the same powers. Whichever figure IS
right, there will be big hole IN the
worlds shipping by the end of this
year, and that is what the British fear.
And for a long time thereafter the
rate of German destruction, If main
tanned. will exceed the worlds con
struction. The estimate is made that
this country's building capacity. wood
and steel. at the end of eighteen
months will be 100000 tons a year.
The rest of the world may perhaps
turn out as much more. But that will
be only half the present rate a u
boat destruction, allowing nothing for
temporary damage and depreciation.
