Communicated Under Pro- visions of War Budget
 Bill Just Made Law
THIS WAS NECESSARY
 TO SPEED BUILDING
Goethals Expects to Turn Out S00,00 Steel Vessel Tonnage Monthly. May Do Same Thing With
 Wooden Naval Plants

Washington, June 15.-The , vast amount of steel merchant shipping under construction in American yards s-pro b a b y 100000 tons-will be taken over immediately by the gov ernment under power granted in a provision of the war budget bill signed today by President Wilson.
 The announcement was made today at conference of the countrys steel I shipbuilders with the shipping board and it's emergency fleet corporation. Shipping now on the yards will be hur- ried to completion by the institution of a system of double and triple working shifts and when the ways are cleared of present contracts, the fleet corpora tion will begin construction of it's great fleet of standardized steel yes sells.
 as. MUST SPEED WORK
 Only by taking over contracts for itself can the government speed con- struction since Congress failed to give it power to rush building for private owners. Contracts calling for future , construction and on which actual work has not been started probably !, will be abrogated unless the fleet cor poration decides the ships are spe- cially fitted for the governments needs.
 Major General Goethals, general manager of the fleet corporation, told the shipbuilder today that he ex- pected to turn out within the next IS months fully S.ooO,oO0 tons of steel shipping and perhaps more. Steel companies, he said, have agreed to furnish enough steel to build S00,000 tons a month. The only question, he said, is the capacity of the yards, working at topmost speed. : About l ,e00, 900 tons of the shipping building in American yards or con- tracted for is for British account.
 ENGLAND IS WILLING
 This the British government has agreed to turn over to the United States voluntarily. The vessels as fast as built will be chartered by the shipping board to private operators and perhaps in some instances to the allied governments.
 The shipbuilders were told the gov ernment at this time has no inten- ton of taking over the shipyards if the shpbuilders exert their utmost ef- forts to speed construction.
 The bill as passed vests in the Pres ident the power to commander and he is expected within the next few days to issue proclamatio tion desig- mating either the shipping board or the fleet corporation as the agency to carry out provisions of the act.
 AS TO WOODEN SHIPS
 No statement was made concerning wooden shipyards but it is under stood the intention Is to commander such wooden vessels building as the government needs General Goethals plans to supplement the programme

cially those which the farmers produce.
 MT. Davison and those who are asso- ciated with him are masters of the sci ence of coordination and combination so that single but very strong units are se- cured. These qualities were revealed con- spicuously at the time France and Eng land approached the United States seek ing loan of half billion dollars, with out any other security than the credit and resources of these two nations Pre- cisely the same principle as the one adopt ed by the great corporations in perfecting their organizations, was the one adopted by the little company of bankers who undertook to bring into perfect co-ordi- nation and combination the banks of the United States, so that they would share in the floating of this loan to Great Brit ain and France. At the beginning of the war the principle was adopted twice. Once was when the banks of New York city were so completely moblized as to make a single unit whereby a hundred millions of gold was secured with which the credit of New York city was saved In like manner a few weeks later another hundred million was secured, the banks of the entire country coming together so that they acted as a unit in supplying a hundred millions of gold, whereby Amer ican merchants who owed money in Flu rope and especially in England, could se- cure the necessary exchange with which to pay their bills

Editorial from Marion Ohio Tribune
Brooks Fletcher's Paper)


Here is something you might stick
in your hat band;
IF / owned a newspaper, what /
would say just now would be a
plenty remarked man the other
day.
He was invited to write what he
wanted to say, with assurance that it
would be printed if his signature ac-
companied it.
He very promptly declined the ten
der. remarking that 1T would hurt his
business" There are a lot of people
willing. anxious in fact. for things to
be said in the newspapers providing
they hurt the business of somebody
else and not their own,
What newspaper has not had this
very same experience with this very
same yellow bellied tadpo;e of citi-
zen who splutters and splutters about
what ought to be printed in a news
paper and what ought to be omitted.
and yet when you invite the coward to
be responsible for the manuscript he
wants you to publish. he whines like

he will stop his paper If you don't

If you were to suggest to him that his

LICE THAT MAKE NEWSPAPERS SCRATCH

threat 10 stop his paper is pure and
simple coercion through; threat of
blackmeil he would howl like TOM
cat with its tail stepped on.
The fellow who threatens to stop
his paper is trying to do the news
paper in a small way the very thing
that he would condemn as criminal in
a corporation that tried in any way
to throttle the freedom of the press.
Threatening to stop the paper is an
attempt at intimidation.
But it is worse than that Threat
ening to stop the paper is confession
of bigioted intolerance on the part of
the delinquent subscriber that pulls
such bone for it means that he does
not want the paper TO have the cour-
age of its own convictions after all
but insists that it shall have only the
courage of the convictions of the
stop-my-paper threatener.
Big magazines with circulation pill
ing toward the million and great met
ropolitan newspapers are pestered
with this pest who wants them to
publish something and assume re-
sponsibility for authorship which the
pest is too big coward to assume.
and who threatens TO stop his sub
scription if they do not do his bid
ding.
Why do newspapers have these an
noyances? Well. why do hotels some
times have bedbugs. and henhouse
have lice?
