HURRY VESSELS FOR ITALY
Expect to Turn Out 1000, 900 New
Tonnage by March l, Chairman
Tells Steel Ship Men-Have
Quadruple Our Output.

Chairman Edward N Hurley, of the
| United States Shipping Board, an
nounces that work ON the wooden
ship program is progressing as rapidly
and bring into action all the resourc-
es of the steel ship building yards, SO
as to get all the ships that will be
available in the shortest possible
time, the members of the Atlantic
Coast Steel Shipbuilder's Association
met here this morning at the request
| of Chairman Hurley to discuss a plan
| of action. The outstanding fact of
the conference. said Mr.. Hurley. is
that of cooperation on plan for the
early completion of ships which at the
present time are so greatly needed.
Owing to the present situation in
Italy. Mr.. Hurry also announced, pref
erence will be given to the Italian
Government in regard to relief ships
and the work will be published in or
der that it may have these ships as
soon as possible.
Chairman Hurley has been in
formed that there is lack of labor
in some of the shipyards and he is
now endeavoring to assist the yards
in overcoming this deficiency.
Address to Shipbuilders.
At the opening of the conference of
the Atlantic Coast Steel Shipbuilders
at the Willard Hotel here this morn
ing Mr.. Hurley. discussing the ship
building situation. said:
This meeting has been called for
the purpose of establishing a new
goal for our expectations. Between
now and March /, this country will
turn out approximately 100000
tons of ships, dead-weight. In the
whole of 1916 we turned out little
over 100000. Thus we will achieve
in months far more than achieved
previously in IL months. Conserva-
lively stated, we have quadrupled
our output. The new goal of our ex-
of 1916.
I'VE cant achieve this goal by or
dinary methods, by normal energy, |
or average initiative. This is an ex-
traordinary period in the countrys |
history. We are confronted with an
abnormal task and must apply alb
normal methods. Every ounce of our
energy and initiative must be direct
ed toward the achievement of the
greatest task ever imposed upon a
nation at war
The Government alone, no matter
how willing and anxious to do its
part, can't bring the production of
ships to the maximum capacity of the
country. The shipyards alone. no
matter how willing, cant do it. The
labor of the country, no matter how
intelligent, skillfull and patriotic,
can't do it. Working together. de-
termined to forget everything but the
national welfare. we can achieve the
goal we have now set for ourselves.
In any great enterprise of this
kind there are always obstacles to be
dustrial concern in the world. If sud
denly asked to multiply its output by
10, would have TO strain every nerve
TO accomplish the task. 1t would
have to build new plants, find addi-
tional foremen, new labor, new ma
and adopt new methods. If
there were no obstacles to be over
come. however, there would be no
special credit in the achievement

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY
BUMPUS
THE SKY BIRD" LIGHTS
BY Farmer Smith

By Farmer Smith
Peter Duck and Baby June had been
the first to see the strange thing which was
iiying so high in the sky--then Mr.. Jay
Bird caught sight of it and started his
shrlii cry which startled all the other birds.
Next Billy Bumpus had been attracted
py the strange noise up In the sky and
mad run In to tell his wife about II and
when he reached her side he was SO out
OF breath from running that he merely
told her and dragged her out of the house
and pointed UP in the sky.
"L-o-o-k" was all Billy could say.
Mrs. Bumpus cooked her head on one
side and squinted up at the great thing
the time.
"w-h-a-t is it?" asked Billy, who had
gotten his breath by this time
Il think IL is something to eat" sug-
gested Mrs. Bumpus, thinking to please her
husband.
"Nonsense-it's a new kind Of bird. It
may be one Of those war birds I have been
reading about in the GoatviIle News"
Billy looked proudly at his wife.
Sure enough, how bright you arew ex-
claimed Mrs Bumpus, leaning over and
kissing Billy.
Don't. DON'T. You are in my light."
1t seems to me that sometimes when
try to be kind to you. you are too busy
to let me be kind" said Mrs Bumpus, in
D. SAD tone OF voice.
That's the way in this world-soms
But say, what IL that war bird would
drop one Of those horrid bombs?"
Mrs. Jay Bird shuddered.
Let's get over there under that tree
and see II we can't make out what the
thing is?" suggested Billy.
In the meantime Mrs Jay Bird insisted
upon her dear husband going and getting
something for the babies to eat The poor
fellow was so excited he had forgotten all
about the feeding the little dears. He soon
disappeared and in no time had robbed
another birds nest and was flying home
with one Of the eggs for his babies. Just
as he got over where Billy and his wife
were, he turned to look at the whirring
thing in the air and-POP!
He dropped the egg right in front of
where Billy was walking!
ITS BOMB!' shouted Mrs. Bumpus,
as she started to run. Billy was not. going
to lose his life so he took one good look
at the bomb" and then turned to run,
But before he had gone very far he turned
and looked once more. IT have seen some-
thing like that before" he said to himself,
going closer.
''Why?' he exclaimed. Its an EGGw
With that he lost no time in eating It.
"Oh. my. poor Billy whned Mrs. Bum
pus. who was standing on the steps of
their home, wringing her hands. my poor
Billy has eaten a bomb and will surely
be blown up"
By this time Billy Bumpus was trotting
slowly toward home.
"Oh. Billy--if you MUST blow UP. don't
blow me up with our little homev' shouted
Mrs. Bumpus.
"Pshaw 'fraide. that was an EGG"
said Billy, licking his chops with his
tongue.
"LOOKw
Billy turned quickly, just in time to see
the war bird descend to the ground. Then
he turned and ran toward it as fast as his
legs would carry him.
