A message sent by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to General Groener,
head of the German munitions de-
partment, with reference to strikes in
industrial communities, has been re-
ceived here by wireless from Berlin.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg says
he recognizes that the population has
been hard hit by the reduction of the
bread ration, but that undoubtedly
the increase in meat and the regular
delivery of potatoes will compensate
therefor. While he is convinced that
the authorities will see to the proper
distribution of foodstuffs, the field
marshal said
'T am, therefore, quite unable TO
see how the food situation can be
made the ground for strikes by work
ers while our present position on the
western front, which must be fought
out there, demands an undiminished
production of war supplies of all
kinds. This is the first task and takes
precedence over all others.
"AlI strikes, however small. may
be the means of an unjustifiable
weakening of our defensive force and
is an inexcusable crime against the
fighting forces especially the men in
the trenches who bleed in conse-
quence."
A Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam
says that Won Hindenburg concludes
his message by asking General Groen-
er to see that all means are employed
to continue the production and dis
patch of arms and munitions and also
to have the necessary rations given
the armament workers to that end,
which 'in my opinion, appears the
condition for attaining our
great aim

The above message from Mr..
Bickford was not unexpected by Mr..
Palmer who has been keeping in
touch with the Chicagoan and knew
that he was greatly interested in
this territory. 1t appears that Mr..

many shipbuilding locations and
that many propositions have been
rendered him but that he found
only in Berwick the combination of

locate there.
Should the Bickford Shipyard
develop on the scale indicated by
Mr.. Bickford, the industry will be
a splendid addition to the local in
dustries. It seems that Mr.. Bickford
already has contracts for the build
ing of two large ships and a num-
Der of smaller ones. He will need
perhaps five hundred to thousand
skilled workmen and laborers and
his plans fer operations bear the
earmarks of permanency.

It has been expected that Ger

the mouth of the Chesapeake, Char

through which flows the

Washington, April, 12.-With
high British and French naval Off
GERS in conference here with Ameri-
can naval officials, definite steps
have been taken toward participa-
tion of the American Navy in the
war against Germany.
Patrol of the entire Atlantic sea-
board, reaching southwark to the
Panama Canal Zone and possibly
northward to include Canada, will
be the first duty of the American
warships. With that goes the neces-
sity Of guarding against the proba-
bic extension Of the German SUBJ

British and French ships now on
this patrol duty will be withdrawn
as soon as the American forces have
their lines established. The Ameri-
can squadrons will operate from
British and French bases in the
South Atlantic wherever necessary.
