CAN'T USE STEEL
Builders To Be Forbidden to
Erect Skyscrapers.
Materials Must Be Conserved
for Ship Building.

Washington. June NO more sky
scrapers are to be built during the
war The still will be cammandeered
by the government and used to con-
struct ships
Two types of vessels will be turned
out-6estroyers to hunt submarines
and merchantmen, built on a standard
pattern, to carry food to the allies.
That President Wilson will act under
the authority recently conferred upon
him by congress and divert every
ounce of steel to government ship
building was the statement made at
the navy department today.
1t further was declared that no more
of the great bridges which have made
American engineers famous the world
over will be built during the war.
Keep Workers Busy.
The administration is prepared, it is
understood, to meet all protests by
building corporations and the building
trades union Men formerly employ
ed in steel work on skyscrapers and
bridges will be put into the shipyards-
The navy department is working in
close cooperation with Gen George
y. Goethals, head of the emergency
naval attache has been attached to
General Goetha1s office.
The usual influx of steel for gov
eminent work will be employed for
destroyers on the ways and for other
ships, many of them battleships and
battle cruisers already under construc-
ton.
Another of the government policies
is to concentrate every energy on
turning out destroyers rather than
rushing work on the larger ships
Must Stop Submarines.
The enemy America has to meet is
the submarine, it is pointed out, and
the part of policy is to direct all work
to the one end of driving the U-boat
from the seas.
The determination of the navy de-
partment to concentrate on destroy
er and merchant ship construction
was due almost entirely to the recon- =
mendations of the British and French
naval experts who accompanied the
Balfour and Viviani mission here
A great number of destroy ers-
more than the government at first
suspecte could be built at one time
are under construction, Secretary
Daniels declared today. This was
his answer to the appeal of IAN Amer
| lean naval officers in a letter to Jus
tice ScudGer of Brooklyn, that 200
destroyers be built Immediately and

This is a time when the government

that war expenditures are made in n
business-Iike way and that the govern

comment Joseph L. Bristow's edi-
torial.
Governor Capper today discussed
the Joseph L. Bristow anti-war edi-
toriaI in a characteristic evasion of
the issue. The governor issued the
above two-sentence comment on the
sensational utterances of his public
utilities commission head. He did not
indicate or intimate further action or
a definite break with Bristow on his
hostile utterances against the govern
ment management of the war
The statement was made by the
governor today when he returned
from a two days visit to Wichita,
Kansas CITY and Atchison. His state
ment was dictated to his stenographer
after he had read the Bristow editor
ial concerning a period of loot and
grab and plumber and in response to
a request for an expression OF opln-
ion as to the spirit and tone of the
Rristow editorial So far as Cover
nor Gamer is concerned, it is prob
able that the matter is a closed Incl

No Further Action

the press shortly after noon today,
Governor Capper was asked if he ex-
pected to communicate directly with
his utilities commission head or take
formal action in the matter Il think
that will be ALL" said the governor in

district attorney, a warning that the
former United States senator must
not continue his unfriendly utterances
as to the policies of the national gov
ernment-
Bristow's statements and especially
the editorial on which Governor Cap
per was today asked TO comment, have
aroused statewide criticism. Much of
this criticism-in fact all public utter
anceS to date-have come from men
within the political party of Bristow
and Governor Capper. Many of the
men most severe in their criticism are
high in the councils of the Republican
party in Kansas. Some of the men
most deeply aroused over Bristow's
stand are former staunch
supporters of the utilities commission
