CONTINUED ERoM PAGE one

be carried out as it was originally plan
ned"
Chairman Lehman authorized the state
ment that many experts of International
prominence were of the opinion that with
out an intelligent standardization plan
for both wooden and steel ships on a
vast scale, Germany would win the war.
He was quite willing to admit that upon
the United States rests a great measure
Of responsibility for a tremendous in
crease in output from shipyards both
large and small. He felt extremely con-
hdent from reports that came in yester-
DAY from shipbuilders that all the re-
sources that the government inevitably
will draw upon TO the fullest will meet
the crisis.
There is no friction at the present
time over the plans for making Ameri-
can ships a powerful Instrument in de-
feating Germany. From all sides last
night came auth, rized statements from
officials directing the work that every
agency is in thorough harmony to make
the nations merchant shipping victor.
Shortly after his visit to the White
House, where he is said to have laid
before the President the latest details
of the shipping program, Chairman Dem
mans attention was called to reports of
differences between the board of which
he is the head and the new Federal Ship
ping Corporation, directed by Gen. George
w. Goethals.
"A lot of these reports about differ
enCes are pure rot" said Chairman Den
man. The Shipping Board welcomes
intelligept criticism. 1t considers unpa-
triOtiC a statement OF fact concerning its
policy which is untrue and about which
the person making it has not had the
candor to ask the board whether or not
II is true. You may say that the wooden
ship program is definitely under way and
satisfactorily progressing. The Shipping
Board and Gen. Goethals have turned
with all possible energy toward the
matter of stimulation of steel ship con-
stTuctiOn. On the question OF turning
out a larger number OF steel ships than
now seems. possible, We have every as
suranCe of success"
Although the administration expects
that in certain quarters there may be
opposition to granting to the President
the sweeping powers he asks for absolute
control over American shipping, inClud-
ing power to divert use of materials used
in ship building, leaders in both House
and Senate have given unqualified assur-
anCe to the President and his advisors
that desired legislation will be passed.
The leaders who have for. several days
been comforting with shipping experts of
the country as to the terms of the meas
ures identical in form both in the House
and Senate declared last night that the
legislative path has been cleared Of all
parliamentary distractions to make Ger
tain the early passage of the legislation.
Spokesman in both houses were agreed
that the President will be given what
he asks for to make shipping one of the
great, if not the greatest, force in bring
ing peace nearer for the civilized world.

the lowest type of beings and Iunatics
In answer TO question by Attorney Lee.
Dr. Han said that Oscar Wilde was ah
solutely insane. DIR. Pedigo went into an
exhaustive recital to show that Vawter
had a dual personality.
To substantiate his contention he re-
viewed previous testimony. He showed
various incidents where YaRter was A
normal man one moment and the next
was decidedly insane" II will be a
strong point in favor Of the defense IN
II can be shown that Vawter was insane
when he wrote the letter offering his
wife to Heth. II they have failed to do
this, the prosecution will take the posi-
tlon that Heth's actions met with the an

that an inspection OF the cupola. which

Court adjourned this evening shortly

in.
Tomorrow will be consumed with sd-
dresses TO the jury. Master addresses are
expected on each side. Thousands of per-
sons will fail to get admittance to the
court room because OF its limited capac-
ity.
The opinion still prevails that VaWter
Will be acquitted and that the jury will

Women! It's Cheap!
Use Lemon Juice
and Make Lotion


10 keep your skin and complexion
naturally soft, white and clear at all
times you simply must use lotion
or cream every day. But choose the
one thaa Is best and costs the least.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable beauty lotion at about the
cost one must pay for a small jar Of
the ordinary cold creams Care should
be taken to strain the lemon juice
through fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is uasd to
bleach and remove such bIemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener. smoothener
and beautifler. W.
Just try this lotion! Make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
cream and massage it into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should nat
urally help to whiten, soften, freshcn,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
OF orchard white at little cost. and any
grocer Will supply the .lemons.-Adv.

ARMY BILL CONFEREES
BATTLE FOR ADVANTAGE
Variance on Major Items Ties Up Ac-
ton Of House and Senate.

The conferees on the army bill were
hopelessly at variance last night over
the major items Of the two measures as
passed by the Senate and the House.
They sat in conference throughout the
day and in the course OF their delibera-
tions managed to iron out all Of the
minor differences to the number OF more
than 80 points wherein the two Houses
had used different language. But on the
other points they both were obdurate.
Particularly with regard to the Hard
ing amendment in the Senate measure.
whereby opportunity is afforded for the
Roosevelt eTpeditionsry force to be sent
to France through the authorization OF
\ the raising OF four divisions Of volun-
teers over the age Of y years. The Sen
ate is insistent and the House IS obdur-
ate.
| The conferees are At variance also over
| the different maximum age limits pro-
Nided in the two bills. The Senate has
! accepted a slight modification Of the ad-
! ministration's plan and passed a bill
which provides for the CONSUMPTION Of
men between the ages OF q and 2
instead of l9 and =. as asked by the
| Army General Stsn. But the House is
holding out for an age provision Of from
u TO - with no sign OF waverinE.
The provision in the Senate bill for
| the raising OF three regiments Of
volunteer cavalry for service on the
| Mexican border is not unacceptable TO
\ the House. hut on this point no agree
ment was reached yesterday.
The Senate prohibition on the sale of
alcoholic beverages 10 soldiers and the
placing Of the ban on liquor in other
| ways. which the House hill does not even
mention, are in abcyance with the
chances that the House contention that
prohibition legislation as a part OF the
war plans should be a separate and
distinct law will prevail
