SHIPBUILDERS ASK THAT
GOVERNMENT PAY BILL
Congress VIII De Urged to Help In
Carrying Out Great Destroyer
Program.
TBy Associated Press.l

TBy Associated Press1
WASHINGTON, August 21.-Coneress
will be asked for special rush appro-
priations for the immediate expansion
OF ship and engine building plants to
carry out the big destroyer program
decided upon by the Navy Depart.
ment
Secretary Daniels indicated to-day
that the shipbuilders have said this
necessary expansion could be carried
out only II the government paid the
bill. The navy will ask Immediately
to start the work, and will not await
later in the year.
Ship and engine builders have all
the work existing plants can do. and
also are obligated to the limit of their
financial arrangements. They propose
that the government expand the yards
and engine plants. that the private
builders do the work using their
trained forces supplemented by all the
additional men that can be provided,
and that at the conclusion OF the war
or the contracts. as the government
may decide, the supplemental plants
either be sold to the shipbuilding COM
panies, or operated on government
work. Details Of the scheme are now
being worked out at the Navy Depart
ment.
Tho destroyer program includes as
many new ships of this type as It Is
possible to build.

All Active at Same Time, Making

PARIS, August 21.-Yesterday's
French victory on the verdun front
was welcomed by the French people.
not only because after it the Germans
no longer hold one Of their dearly
bought conquests won since the first
onrush on the Verdun fortress in Feb

The British. Italian and French fronts
arc all active at tho same time. making
1t possible that weakness may develop
somewhere along the German and Aus
TRAN lines confronting them.
1t is admitted in military circles that
an offensive with three days pre-
liminary bombardment can be a sur
Prise The German press has shown
for ten days that the present attack
had been expected, even the exact
extent of tho front from Avocourt wood
to Ornes being stated. Tho precise
minute when a bombardment will
cease, or. rather, change to a barrage
FIRE. cutting OF the first stage of the
infantry rush. however. remains q
secret
Thus the Germans were surprised at
$40 o'clock yesterday morning when
tho French made bound along fif-
teen miles OF front. and was twelve
minutes before the German barrage
FIRE opened.
This delay allowed the French to
occupy tho first German lines without
losses. They were found to be almost
empty at one point. ,Only on the slopes
OF Talou Hill did single company
succeed in holding out In a subter-
ranean stronghold. With it's young
second lieutenant as the only officer,
the entire company was taken prisoner.
The Germans used only asphyxiating
shells for their barrage fire. placing the
French troops under the handicap OF
wearing masks.

Since the beginning of the war in Europe
telephone traffic has mounted higher and

this increase is largely due to the use of the

We do not underestimate our problem in

to keep it dependable and efficient.
We wish to give the public service that

are difficulties in the way of training sufficient
