 tract Called for One.

Washington. June 2s.-Rapid prog ress is being made in the construc- ton of the hundreds of submarine chasers, recently ordered by the navy department.
 At the New York navy yards alone a dozen of the 11O-foot wooden hulls have been completed already, al- though the original plans called for the production of only one during the month of June. In August the yards will begin to deliver hulls at the rate of three day.
 At the present time the engine pro- duction for the boats is a little be- hind schedule.
 No decision has been reached as yet as to additional boats. With many vessels purchased and those under construction, many officials believe enough have been supplied of this type of craft. There is some discus sion of larger boat mounting heavier guns. vessel of 160-foot length having been proposed.
 The 110-foot type was adopted on the unanimous recommendation of all experienced British naval officers who have been consulted.

Is being held in the onices of the Council Of Ma tional Defense. which, through it's state branches, Is in close touch with the work.
 The purpose of the reserve is to help out the present emergency in farm and other labor by enlisting town and city boys otherwise disen- gagged, for this work. Organisations have been perfected and the move ment already Is we'll under way in many states. The U. s.

lying, dormant awaiting tho moment when 1t would burst forth as of old. To show the spirit of the nation and its fighting men he recalled the sig nificant event of few weeks ago when the American hotilla arrived in the war zone. When the British ad- miral visited Admiral Simms and asked him how soon his men would be ready for action the valiant Amer tcan *commander replied that he was ready then. Such is the spirit of America, Father Keefe said. He urged all young men, regardless of race. or creed, to unite under the Red. White and Blue banner of de- mocracy and to do their share to- ward the salvation of democracy and the overthrow of tyranny. In con- clusion he made a fervent and stir ring plea for the young men to for get that the draft has been ordered and to enlist immediately. rather than walt a few weeks and be compelled to go.
 Volunteers Are Slow.
 Following the outburst of applause that was accorded Father Keefe's words, Mayor Quigley arose, advanced to the front of the stage and, peering intently into the faces of his audi ence, asked who would be the first young man to come forward and offer his services to his government. There was moment of uncomfortable shift ing of feet, but not a man seemed in- clined at that minute to Unit the trail" As no one responded the may or arose to his full height and shout ed: '"Then I have made my last ap- peal Will no one come forward and do what the 25 Polanders did in New Britain in the past few days? Strike up the band, MT. Lynch, have made my last appeal!" As the mayor ut tered these words T. Clay Cavanaugh arose from the center Of the audience and with sweeping gesture of his hand and in a voice shaken with emo- tion, cried out that every eligible man present should feel ashamed. You ought to be ashamed. You do not de- serve to be called Americans" he said. One f1ashily dressed young man did climb upon the stage and was greeted by the mayor with open arms. He did not want to enlist, however. and said he merely sought information. He was instantly moved to one side as John Jones, who said that he is 4S years of age. pushed forward, and, turning to the audience, the mayor ex- claimed: ITO the honor of the Irish race John Jones, aged 4s years. wants to enlist" Again an appeal was made for volunteers but none came forward and the meeting adjourned.
 AS the crowd left the building Lieu tenant Rodman Wright Chamberlain. Corporal Benson and Private O'Brien of Cornnanv r First Infantry acting as a recruiting detail, were approached by a score of young men. Mine of them made application for enlistment and a number of others promised to give the matter careful consideration and said they would probably return on Saturday and join the colors.
