I'd u. S. Cargo Ship
Is Launched Here
New Steel Steamer Is To Be
Ready for Sea in Three
Months

The War Unit, the second OF ten
steel steamships contracted for by the
government, was launched yesterday at
the Standard Shipbuilding Company's
yards, on Shooter Island. The vessel
is 393 feet long, 50 feet beam, will draw
Is feet of water and have a speed Of
fourteen knots. 1t is designed for
cargo carrier or transport.
It's keel was laid late in August. and
the company hopes 20 have the vessel
ready 10 turn over to the government
in another three months. The Scandi-
navic, the first of the ten TO take the
water, was COMPLETED in eight months.
and is now at sea on government busi-
ness.
About $50 persons were invited to
the launching, which took place at high
water, at 4 o'clock. Among them were
naval officers and representatives of
the Shipping Board. A platform was
erected about the bow of the vessel
large enough to accommodate all the
guests. In the front rank stood Miss
Nellie Buckwater. OF Brooklyn, who
christened the ship.

College Head Calls
For National Leader

A call for national leaders. such as
America had in her infancy, was
sounded by DR.. Charles Alexander
Richmond, president of Union College,
last night at the New England So
ciety's annual banquet commemorating
the 297th anniversary of the landing
Of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth.
"In the great crises OF our national
life in the past we have always found
leaders of men," said DR.. Richmond.
'It is no disparagement Of the present
generation 10 say that the leading per-
sonalities before this nation to-day are
not the equals Of the men We call the
Fathers.
"There are men among us of the
widest experience and of first rate
gifts. fitted to render the most i'm
uortant service, but who are not rem
dering these services simply because
thew have not been called. Shall we
have 10 wait until they are able to
pronounce some party shibboleth be-
fore we can use these men?
when the books of the war arc
made up it will be seen that many
thousands Of the best of England's
lives will have 10 be set down 10 the
account of party spirit. With this
warning before their eyes / think the
American people will not be verp pa
tient if the laundering OF party lead
ership should make us suffer from this
same tragical mistake"

deliveries could not be made as con-
tracted for.
Mr. Borie said he told War Depart
ment officials that if his concern made
Browning guns il would take six or
eight months TO begin deliveries, even
in small quantities.
A letter was received from the Ord
nance Bureau August 10, Mr.. Borie
said, directing the Savage company 20
stop production Of the Lewis guns July
/. 1915, and proceed thereafter with the
light Browning gun.
ave were fabbergasted, he said,
"but they changed their minds, and on
September 25 ordered aircraft guns OF
the Lewis type, which will keep the
plant going all next year"
Mr.. Borie said he had decided 10 con-
tinue manufacture of the Lewis gun,
anyway, since if the United States Gov
ernment would not buy them foreign
governments would.
Statements by General Crozier and
privste machine gun manufacturers
that the Lewis does not synchronize
through airplane propellers were re-
futed by Mr. Borie. Assertions also
that the Lewis gun cannot be success
fully used with American ammunition,
an absolute falsehood.'
The Ordnance Bureaus business
system was sharply criticised by Mr..
Borie.
1--WE ought TO have a director OF
munitions" he said, "a big, broad
minded man, herman, not pussytoot.
Until you do that you'll never get any
where"
Senator Hitchcock asked MIR. Borie
if Secretary Baker had centralized au-
thority.
"if he has, he doesn't use it, said
Mr.. Borie.
Mr.. Borie said the War Department
had made thirty-eight changes IN motor
truck specifications in the last SIX
weeks, and that il had played the devil
with manufacture" The government
was not satisfied with dozens of good
trucks in the market, and insisted on
the Liberty truck, he said.
Sanator Chamberlain said IL might
be a good loss of time TO get stand
ardized truck.
The War Department, Mr.. Borie said,
had decided TO use the Lewis gun only
for aircraft. and that changing the
design to make it available for air
planes had made il much less effective
for transfer back TO ground work.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Borie's
New-York tribune., 1917-12-23

fusins TO permit United States ammu-
pition 20 be used.
Il was this experience which drove
the colonel to Europe, for he felt that
his own country would not give fair
chance 20 his invention. Much has
been made Of the fact that the Lewis
gun is a fine gun with British ammu-
milton. but no good with american am
n,unition. Yet IL was with models tr-
ing American ammunition the colonel
went abroad, and. according to his
story. in forty-eight hours after he ar.
rived in England on the strength Of
the showing Of these guns company
was organized which is to-day produc-
ing thousands OF guns.
As on previous days the testimony to
day went 70 show the ineiiiciency OF the
present organizations. Mr. Borie cried
ont FOR 2 Secretary Of Munitions. "Giv'

held back largely. Mr.. Piez testified, by
the inability Of Southern pine produc-
ers to deliver timber. The condition OF
affairs was uncovered by an inyestigat-
ing committee, headed by Mr.. Piez,
which made tour OF the yards for
the Shipping Board.
"Whose fault was that?" Mr.. Piez
was asked.
81 do not know" he replied. 81 un-
derstand that the Southern Pine Asso-
citation promised to deliver the timbers
and then fell down on the order

situation"
1--WE are having fir brought from the
Pacific Coast"
Many contracts already let for
wooden ships in the East will have TO
be transferred 20 the West, Mr. Flez
added, in order to get the vessels com
pleted. as sufficient timber cannot be
had in the East.
senator Nelson directed a long series
of questions at Mr.. Piez to learn "hy
a practical shipbuilder would not be
proper man for genera manager,
"Are you a shipbuilder!' askeu Ine
NO" replied Mr.. Piez, "but have

Finally Mr. Piez said, somewhat

T did not seek this place. | took 1t
very reluctantly"
The change in design Of the wooden
ships after construction was Deguh
drew some criticism from members OF
tho committee. Senator Martin asked
MIR Piez who was responsible. Inc
reply was that the change was made by
Civil Engineer Ferris, the corpora
tion's designing expert.
Don't you think that shows incom-
petencv?" asked the Senator
81 would say" replied Mr.. Piez, that
il was unfortunate.'
"Yes." the Senator said, "unfortu-
nate ignorance"
The committee, taking up the opera
ton Of ships, sought TO develop If the
army has handled ineiIiciently the ships

board explained that they now are in
vestigating that subject.
Rear Admiral Bowles presented fig

decided to keen the statistics confden-

EXPERIMENTAL FARM
 GIVEN 0|NLY s2,000

MESA, Feb. 12.-Disappointment and indignation held sway yesterday when IL became known to number of prom lnent people in Mesa that the approp- riation bill now before the house pro- vided for only s1,000 year to cover all improvements and expenses for the state experimental farm located one mile west of town. Naturally the amount named would not even begin to pay the expense of the farm without regard to any improvement whatsoever. The property is in need of additional buildings and if experimental work is to be conducted it will be impossible to conduct the farm as a profit making industry
 farmers on the southside who have been watching the development of the farm are expecting that in future it Will be of great benefit to the entire valley, If not indeed to the state. and to hamper the work by the niggardlv aD- propriation set forth in the bill is very discouraging to those who have been counting on the farm as distinct as set to the ranching community The Iarm needs not less than SIC. 600 a year LOT the next two years if needed i'm proponents and experimental work is to De conducted to the extent most helpfuL The people here who sub
