GOV. To- TAKE OVER MOST
Of SHIPPING NOW BUILDING
IN THE AMERICAN YARDS

Washington, Aug. 3.-Immediate {.
Communicating of the vessels under
construction in American shipbuilding
plants was decided on today by the
shipping board. The step is prelimi-
nary to the requisitioning of American
tonnage already on the seas and will
be taken to speed construction so that
the yards may be cleared for building
ships for which the government has
let contracts.
There are building in the yards Of
the country about 700 ships totalling
more than 100000 tonnage, most Of
it for foreign accounts. Hulls and con-
tracts both will be taken over, the final
disposition of the foreign craft to be
left to negotiations between the Unit
ed States and the governments con-
cerned. The completed American ships
will be retained by the board for op-
GRAFTON.
Communicating of tonnage building
was one of the features of the pre-
gram for shipbuilding announced by
Major General Goethals just before he
resigned as manager of the emergency
fleet corporation and Chairman DEN
mans removal by the president.
General Goethals' plan for construct
ing two great government-owned ship
yards for building fabricated steel
ships will be taken up by the board

AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE
TRAINING FOR TRENCH life.
HEALTH OF MEN GOOD AND FOOD

American Training Camp in France,
Aug. 3.-General Pershing gave the

tablished from Americas first great

cy. 1t was not cursory inspection.
He went into minute detail all along
the line, questioning private soldiers,
company cooks and various other
ranks as to how things were going and
what if anything was being done to
improve the situation.
General Pershing was expected Mon
day but delayed leaving Paris until
late yesterday. He spent the night at
quaint little French village and
reached the American army area ear
ly today. His visit was entirely IN
formal and he found the forces just as
he desired-engaged in their daily
routine work and drill.
The general is also inspecting vari-
Gus places suggested for his field head
quarters, for he expects before long to
remove from Paris near the troops in
training. He will return to Paris late
tomorrow.
At the end of the first days inspee-
tion General Pershing said:
"Our principal concern just now OF
course is to perfect the army organl-
zation. This is big task but it is
moving along smoothly and in a most
satisfactory manner.
"The work at certain ports of dis
embarkation is well started. Railroad
material is coming over as rapidly as
can be arranged The progress we
have made thus far with the assist
ance of the French is source of great
satisfaction to us. Billets and training
ground for the men are as well 10
Gated as could be expected at this time
of the year when space is limited by
crops in the fields.
"After these are removed we Will
have plenty of space for lodging ana
training the divisions that are to'come.
Some of the places where men are now
sleeping are not all that could be de-
sired but this soon will be remedied
by the construction of portable bar
racks.
Training is progressing very well
with the assistance of the French"
General Pershing was untiring in his
inspection of the training area. He
inquired into every phase Of the: mems
daily life, the character and the guam
tity of their food, even to the disposi-
ton of garbage which he found was
going to the French farmers, who were
delighted to have this matter toqfeed
their pigs, taking advantage of every
sort of refuse containing fat.

No LIMIT TO THE
SHIP BUILDING

Washington, Aug. 2.-There will be
no limit to the building of wooden
ships if the plan of the governments
reorganized shipbuilding board is car
ried out. At a meeting of producers
of southern pine lumber here for the
purpose of speeding up the output of
ship building material it was made
known that the war demand the con-
struction of every vessel that the
yards can turn out.
Rear-Admiral Capps, the new gen
eral manager of the shipping boards
feet corporation appealed to the lum-
bermen to show their patriotism by
furnishing lumber to build ships and
in that way they would be helping to
shorten the war and save lives.
The Southern Pine association had
pledged enough lumber to build 100
ships but were very slow in furnishing
the cut. Unusual sizes and higher
prices in the open market were the
causes given for the failure. Some of
those who are living up to their pledge
and are furnishing lumber, severely
.criticise those who have failed to do
so and declared that the southern
mills could easily supply the lumber
for 200 wooden shins.
"The South should be willing and
ready to meet this emergency and
Ealing to do. so the government should
exercise its right of commander,
The industry owes it to the country to
sacrifice profits at this time, said Mr.
Scanlan, of Hattisburg, Miss.
"The producers have no right he
said, "to ask the COVE nment to pay
commercial prices. They are making
more money than they ever made be-
fore in their lives. We promised def
nitely to furnish 100 ships. If it is
true that ships will win the war ther
ships will shorten it.
"If any.ndan here refuses to cut this
lumber for ships he is responsible di.
rectly for the loss of American lives
in France"
Southern Lumbermen to Blame.
The 100-ship unit promised by the
Pine association was based on a price
of $35 thousand fixed by the de.
tense councils lumber committee. Or
outside orders, it was said today, somt
producers are getting $40 more thar
that. Thus far the association has
placed only 100 orders for ship mate,
rial. Contracts for 66 additional wood.
en- vessels have been let in the South
and the corporation is negotiating nov
for SO more, but none of this lumber is
in sight.
The shipping board may abandon
the plan of Major General Goethals
formerly general manager of the cor
poration, for construction of two gov.
ernment-owned shipyards to build fab
ricated steel ships. Ships will be fab
-'cated but the work may be done il
: rrivate yards to be commandeered.

later. It is understood Rear-Admiral
Capps, now manager of the feet cor
poration, is opposed to the form of
contracts proposed by the general for
this work and tnat the whole scheme
may be abandoned. In that event the
fabricated ships would be built in pri-
yate yards for government account.

Milwaukee, affording Racine county a
sort of a triangle of goods roads. He
stated that similar plans would be
worked out for Kenosha county and
other counties in the state.
The general idea of the new law as
outlined by the committee viii be to
connect every county seat in the state
with trunk lines, and while the money
provided viii not cover this cost CON-
pletely, many Of these roads have al,
ready received considerable work under
the state aid system and will therefore
not require as much money as it would
appear on the surface.
Mr.. Petersen stated that the road
work will include macadam and other
forms of roads as. well as concrete
and in making this statement revealed
a new phase of the law that many had
not formerly understood, it being the
general opinion that the new trunk lines
would all be built of concrete. The
reason for this move is explained in the
fact that many counties have natural
resources that allows the building Of
other type of roads at great
saving, and at the same time afford
ing good highway.

MAY RAISE AUTO LICENSE
New Bill to Be Printed on Wednesday
and Legislature Expects Hard Fight
to Dispose of chow to Spend Fed
eraI Money In Wisconsin,

Discussing the new proposed federal
aid highway law at the first open meet
ing that has been held in the state on
this subject, Assemblyman Walter Pet
erson of Racine, today explained the
workings of the law, should it be
passed and stated that the Sheridan
Road would probably be the first
highway in the state that would be
completed under this sytem.
He told the members of the Good
Roads committee and other representa-
tive citizens about Racine county, who
attended . luncheon at the Hotel Ra-
cine, that the state highway commits
sioners were in favor of completing the
Sheridan Road and should the bill pass,
this road, from Milwaukee south to tile
state line, would be the only road in
the state that would be completed in
1917 under the federal aid.
1t was revealed that the auto license
fee will probably be raised to ten dol
lars regardless of the size or horse
power of the car, and that the truck
operators will likely pay graduated
scale of tax according to the size Of
the truck operated and whether it
will be run over the trunk line system
or not. A proposed scheme would carry
the tax on trucks up to fifty dollars,
this being done in consideration of the
fact that the larger truck has a
greater earning capacity and is more
destructive to the roads.
Many members present expressed
themselves in the matter, favoring the
ten dollar tax on the pleasure car and
agreeing that this was the only
solution to having the user Of the
highways pay the bills.
There were also number of cues
tions asked as to what the federal aid
law would include besides the Sheridan
Road in regard to Racine county and
it was explained that there would
probably be an east and west road built
to Burlington and from Burlington to

Pendleton Is drawing some sharp
criticisms from the schools of other
towns in the county for Withdrawing
from the debating league after the
schedule had been made out and
when the various teams were ready to
begin the elimination contests. The
excuse given, lack Of material, does
not seem to satisfy the other schools,
which point out that Pendleton is the
largest school in the county and GER
tainly would not have any more diff
ficulties than the smaller schools.
The following comment is made by
the Athena Press of yesterday:
with Pendleton's withdrawal, only
Athena and Milton are left in this end
of the county and they will have but
one debate The winner win thea
meet the winning team Of the other
end of the county. Pendleton's ex-
cuse for dropping out is that the
members of the debate teams would
graduate at this semester and also
that they could not get suitable mate
rial TO work on the question. Consld-
cradle comment Is being made-by 9TH
er schools concerning their belated de-
clsion. as they had identlcally the
same material as the rest Of the
league"
