FIRST new SHIPPING

Chairman Hurley Says Vessels

Like Automobiles.
LUMBER TOPIC TOMORROW

Some impatient folk seem to think
that ocean-gotng ships can be turned
out like automobiles" said Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the shipping
board. But even to produce auto
mobiles in numbers it is first neces-
sary to have a model. Whom the ship
ping board and tho emergency deet
corporation do mako blunuers or whom
they do show inefiiciency they should
be blamed, but they should not DO ex-
pected to perform tho impossible. nor
even to measure up to the full demands
OF every contractor and shipbuilder."
Before tho end Of tho next calendar
year the shipping production of the
United States will have been increased
to about six millions OF tonnage. This
will represent tho construction Of IS
composite steel and wooden vessels,
223 steel ships and 800 wooden ships.
1t is the tonnage, however. that counts,
as wei as numbers, and the 100000

Breaks Hiking Record.

Incidentally the 9Th Company broke
the record in hiking from the Edsall
range. The time was 2 hours and 10
minutes. This was done under heavy
pack and carrying rifles. The best time
previously was 2 hours and 20 minutes,
by a company that was carrying neither
packs nor rifles.
All the companies return to the range
this week. The LIST Battalion. consist
ing of Companies I. 2. and 4, is to
leave the camp this afternoon. 1t will
engage in battalion fire for three days
and in field problems. The I'd Bat
talon. composed OF the 5th. 6th. eth
and sth companies, will go on the

Next week the entire camp will be
sent into the trenches again for some
very stiff work under the personal
supervision of the 800 French and
British officers who are here to give
them instruction in the latest phases
of this most modern method Of man

LLOYD GEORGE DEFENDS ALLIES
WAR COUNCIL.

In his recent Paris speech Lloyd
George urged the formation of war
council for the general direction of
the armies Of all the allies. He wants
the allied nations to use as much sense
as herd of cattle on the western
planes when attacked by a pack o.
wolves. When the wolves make such
an attack the cattle form circle,
the stronger on the outside present a
solid front of horns to the wolves,
and the calves and weaker animals on
the inside of the circle are in that way
protected from the fierce animals that
would easily destroy them if left to
care for themselves.
The British premier did nothing
more than urge the allies to adopt
the protective methods of the range
cattle.
The Premier ably defended his Paris
speech in the British Parliament. Here
are few of the things that he said:
II have spoken today with a frank
ness that is perhaps brutal, at the risk
of being i'll understood here and else
where, and not, perhaps, without risk
of giving temporary encouragement to
the enemy, because now that We have
established this council it is for us to
see that the unity it represents be a
fact and not an appearance.
1.-THE war has been prolonged by
particularism. 1t will be shortened
by solidarity. If the efforts to organ
ize our united action becomes a real
ity, l have no doubt as to the issue
of the war. The weight of men and
material and of moral factors in every
sense of the word is on our side
say it, no matter what may happen
to Russia or in Russia. A revolution
airy Russia can never be anything
but menace to HohenRollernism
But even if We are obliged to despair
of Russia, my faith in the final triumph
of the cause of the allies remains I'M
shakable.

RELIGIOUS COOPERATION IN WAR
WORK.

(From the New York World.)
One encouraging development Oh
Americas participation in the war is
the spirit of cooperation in war ser
vice shown by the religious organlza-
tons of the country. Yesterday, in
1000 cities and towns, the Y. M. G.
A. began a drive to raise fund or
s35 600. 900 for war work. On Sunday
at the meeting where Cardinal Farley
pledged the loyalty of Catholics to
the cause of the Nation, the activities
of the Knights Of Columbus in erect
ing and equipping forty-eight recrea-
ton buildings at the National army
environments were related. On Sun
day also Jewish organizations began
campaign to raise $4,000,OOO for the
relief of Jewish war sufferers and
81 100000 for the aid of men OF that
race in army and navy service.
Of the honesty and sincerity Of the
country's aims in the war there could
be no better sign than this hearty and
instant devotion of the relief and rec
reational resources of the Protestant
and Catholic churches to the common
cause
They have rallied whole-heartedly
to the support of the President and
engaged in a splendid work for che
morale of the troops and with view
solely to it's benefit to the country
Both the Y. M. C. A. and the knights
of Columbus deserve public support
in their appeal for funds to impro ~
and relieve the conditions Of military
service, and the response should be
as free from sectarian considerations
as they have shown their work to be.

It would seem as though every
body in Russia was willing to betray
everybody else. At the present time
Russia is a great aggregation of peo-
PIE without any form of government
It does not seem possible for this
condition to continue for any length
of time. Even a swarm of bees has
sense enough, when deprived of its
queen, to grow another queen at the
earliest possible moment
The Russian people certainly have
as much sense as insects.

Lord Northcliffe's attack upon Lloyd
George strengthened the English pre-
mier instead of injuring him. And
so far as Lord Northcliffe is concern
ed, he is probably RELOCATED to the
war nagger" heap where hereafter
his opinions will be little needed by
anyone. Lloyd George is human and
liable to make mistakes, but no man
could administer the great trust which
he holds better than he has, and the
man is traitor to humanity who
tries to weaken his influence.

INVISIBLE ARMIES,

(FrOm the Chicago Herald.)
Today Germany's invisible armies
are fighting in every belligerent and
neutral nation These armies are
made up of the legions of spies which
have been recruited and trained for
years by the army, admiralty and
foreign office of that empire.
A. Curtis Roth, formerly United
States vice consul at Plauen, Saxony,
contributes valuable information on
this dangerous, insidious and hidden
arm of the German autocracy in the
current Saturday Evening Post Here
is how the system is summed up by a
man who has acquired an authorita-
tive position by reason Of his accuracy,
close observation and undoubted op-
portunities to acquire information:
Scientific spying is Prussian
product 1t knows no ethics, owns
no friendships and enjoys no code of
honor. 1t delights to operate through
degenentes, international highbind-
ers and licentious women. It shrinks
before no meanness or blackguard-
ism to attain its ends, even callously
conducting official houses of prosti-
tuition for the entrapment of the I'M
wary. 1t is the most unlovely fruit
of the appalling latter-day German
logic of expediency. 1t is the last
word in efficiency-as efficient as the
German army-and almost all-pervas-
i've.
corruption and furtive destruction
are the blind arms of the German
army, often more dangerous than the
visible army in the field. The Rus
sian armies fell before the stealth Of
the German spy rather than before
the charge of the Pomeranian gren-
adler.
"The world is literally a-crawl to-
day with the spies of central Europe
They are recruited from all nationali-
ties, and are paid mostly according to
the value of each piece of work.
Some are working to earn promised
German commercial and political sup
port after the war; motley host are
working upon the inspirations of
long time cultured patriotism; and
fanatic few are actuated by desires
for German social advantages and o.
