WashingtOn.-"The most remarkable
session In the parliamentary history
OF the world" was the way Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders charac-
terized the first war session of the
Slxty-fifth congress, which came to a
close at three o'clock In the afternoon
Of October 9, exactly six months after
the declaration OF war against Ger
many.
The record of legislation enacted
and money appropriated has no paral-
lei anywhere in the annals of all time.
Beginning with the declaration of
war against Germany In April, con-
gress has passed bin after bill OF the
most revolutionary character. includ-
ing such measures as the draft bill
and the food control bill. Appropria-
lions and contract authorizations for
the present fiscal year, tOtalling SOL
390000,000, including S7000,0000O0 in
loans to the allies, were voted with
out single dissenting voice, a record
equalled nowhere, not even in the

these enormous expenditures congress
passed the $2,535, 100000 war revenue
bill, the largest taxation bill in Amer

child in the United States. Something
more than a billion dollars of this
amount will be taken from war profits.
All incomes more than $1,000 for sin

Two years ago we took an order Tor
24OO fourteen-inch armor- piercing shells
at a contract price of $16S,OOO, to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay a large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at certain velocity on Inn
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions of the tests.
We had made large quantities OF shells
In the past which had been accepted.
But in placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor-
plate. The result. however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce In any quantity shells which VIII
meet these novel tests. In fact. We
know of no process of projectile-mak-
ing through which 1t is possible to pro-
duce in quantities shells which Will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now ON that
contract of $76S, 900, we have put into

have been penalized for non-delivery

Can Not the Trouble Between the Gov
eminent and the ManufaCtur-
erS be ReCOnCiled?

Speaking recently before the Terra
pin Club of Philadelphia, Eugene @.
Grace, President of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, said in part:
In peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel
serves the American people.
For example, though we have been
able to obtain in Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, in our charges
to the United States Government, to
the basis of prices established before
the war began.
We agreed-if the Government would
abandon its plans for Federal plant
to make armor for our Navy at any
price the Government itself might con-
slider fair.
Our ordnance plants are at the dis
posal of the nation at fair operating
cost, plus a small margin, thus saving
the Government investment and de-
probation.

One of the special needs Of the new
navy Is sixteen-inch guns-guns sixty
feet long and capable of HURTING
1000 pound shell with such power and
accuracy as to hit so foot square tar

We have undertaken voluntarily TO
construct, at cost Of $4,5OO,0OO,
plant fitted to build sixteen-inch guns.
Under no conceivable circumstances
can orders which we may receive Tor
this plant pay even fair return on
the investment.
Considerable comment has been made
upon the fact that British manufac'
turer recently bid less than American
manufacturers for sixteen and four
teen-inch shells for the navy.

which the English bid was made. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
this bid was for specific shell, sam

The renewal of German submarine

The renewal Of German submarine
warfare and the attendant heavy de
struction Of shipping on the Atlantic
has had instant effect in increasing the
orders for shipbuilding on the Pacific
coast. 1t is now said that ship build
ers on Puget Sound have orders ahead
to keep them busy at present capacity
for the next three years.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-02-16

Such was the experience in the light
of which we were called upon recent
ly to bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mately the same rate per pound as
that Of a fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which the Gov
eminent awarded contracts.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-02-16

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts.
after examination of our books, found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs of materials and Ia
bor. that made 1t possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap-
propriated by Congress on the basis OF
the cost estimates made year ago
And because shipbullders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates of the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"exorbitant."
It would be real advantage to be
relieved of this naval construction. The
profit from 1t cannot possibly amount
to much, and the responsibility Is enor-
nous.
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government.
"If you will build two Of the battle
cruisers In Government navy yards,
we will build the other two at the as
certained cost of building the ships in
the Government yards without add
tional expense or commissions of any
kind. We will also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead of
the Government ships"

Presidential Dignity.

Dignity is the most terrible punish

president. The president must always
be on his dignity; he can never relax
He cannot sit in the orchestra or In
the gallery. away from everybody s

uproariously; he cannot fail to applaud
He is constantly on exhibition. When
he travels he must appear at all the
railroad stations that he passes through
lest the impression get abroad that he
is undemocratic. The secret service
men are by act Of congress ordered to
guard the life OF the president. They
shop with him, they accompany him on
the links, they sit in his limousine,
they go to the oculist with him, to

short. is not a private person at any
