SINKING FASTER THAN BUILDING
Why Government Has Been Driven to
Build Fleet OF Wooden Vessels.

Washington. May 20.-Chairman
Denman. Of the shipping board. is
sued vigorous denial tonight of re-
ports, widely circulated and repeated
on the floor Of the senate, of differ
ences between members of the board
of Gen Goethals. manager Of the
Emergency Corporation. Statements
that the board has abandoned its
wooden ship building programme at
the instance of Gen. Goethals drew
from Mr.. Denman the declaration
that already contracts have been let
for twenty-siX wooden ships and that
scores of others will be let in the
near future.
The shipping board" said Mr..
Denman, has never wanted to build
wooden ships, but has been driven to
it by necessity. The wooden vessel
has an economic value that is not en-
tirely negligible, but were it not for
the war it is not conceivable that we
would have built one of them.
Couldn't Get Steel Ships.
Before entering into the wooden
shipbuilding project the board can
vassed the steel shipbuilding industry
and found that it could get no con-
tracts for the building of steel YES
sells in any large numbers for the
government account We afterwards
discovered that the reason for this
was that the British government had
contracted for nearly all the avail
able space in American yards.
1T should be noted that if the
world produces all of the steel ships
that it now can build-or that can be
built in the next eighteen months
and in addition all the wooden ships
which can be built in that time, it
will not equal one-half the rate of
destruction established by the Ger
man submarines in the month of
April, of this year.
Germany's Chances.
The men at the head of the steel
producing industries realized late in
April that unless the production of
tonnage was stimulated there was
good chance of the Germans winning
the war. They promised to supply us
with very large amount of steel for
shipbuilding within the period of a.
few months. increasing gradually
from the present time to maximum
to be reached about October.
Gen. Goethals thereupon began
upon a plan of organization of the
steel shipbuilding industry, which
through standardization of construc-
ton, would enormously increase the
output of steel vessels This plan
would require taking over Of all YES
sells under contract in the shipbuild-
ing yards whose date of completion
can be fastened by increased labor
and more rapid supply of material
and equipment

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother. Home, Say. Thi,
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chins, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: II am q user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
it was one Of our family medicines:
Also in my mothers home, when l
was q child. When any Of US child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black. .Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chilIs, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black -Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved US lots OF
doctor bills. Just a dose OF Black
Dcaught when not so well saves q
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years In the treat.
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys is proof Of Its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something IS done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels or
Impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed'
ford's, the original and genuine. e 70

Steps.

New Orleans, La, May 19.-The
1918 convention of the Southern Bap-
tist denomination will be held in Hot
Springs, Ark, next May, if arrange
ments satisfactory to the executive
committee are made. The Rev. W.
H. Geistwert, of St. Louis, will de-
liver the convention sermon. This
was decided by the convention today.
For the first time in the history
of the convention definite steps were
taken to provide a relief system for
Southern Baptist ministers. The
convention unanimously adopted a
report of the relief committee recon-
mending a commission of nine to de-
wise pension and relief system for
ministers. with an endowment fund
of not less than S4.000,000. The
Sunday school board already has set
aside 100000 as a nucleus for this
fund.
1t is expected the convention will
adjourn by Monday night.
The convention adopted the report
and recommendation of the Sunday
school board with minor amendments
and the board was instructed to con-
slider and report to the next conven-
ton on the feasibility of the Sunday
school board financing the admins
trative expenses of the home and for
eign mission boards out of the sur
plus from its publication business.
