story of much accomplished under try
ing conditions and promise of a big
tonnage delivery at the end of 1918.
Today the shipping board received a
telegram from shipbuilders in Seattle,
Wash, stating that their yards would
certainly produce the million tons
promised for next year. Reports from
west coast yards alone showed that
three million tons will be built.
