 sixty days they will be delivered at the rate Of one boat every three days. The navy department as a result of 1 conference with builders hopes to ob- tain 200 boats in two to four months delivery, and if there should be real war before 1t was a year old the United States would probably have the largest fleet of submarine chasers in existence.
 Wealthy men of Philadelphia, ac-
 cording to J. H. R. Cromwell, stepson
 of B. T. Stotesbury, are ready to spend $50,000,000 to build submarine | chasers for the government in the event of hostilities. Their identity he | would not disclose; he contented him. l self with saying that the $50,000,00O
 would be pledged as soon aa war was
 declared.
 I'm willing to contribute my
 share" he said. It is believed that
 his stepfather, MT. Stotesb,lry, will be
 one of the heaviest contributors. The photographs show submarine
 chasers under construction at Green
 port, N. Y., and one already in service patrolling Boston harbor.

Gallery of War Cartoons to Be
Founded in New Zealand-War
and Citizenship
A WAR-CARTOON GALLERY

10 the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir--I have the honor to inform you that
the Borough of Wanganu is now erecting
at a cost of some E1S.00O an art gallery
with the funds provided by the gen.
erosity of deceased citizen, Mr.. Henry
Sarjeant. Those associated with me in the
management and control of the gallery are
desirous OF establishing in it a representa-
tive collection OF original drawings of war
cartoons.
With that end In view, we propose to ap-
ply to leading periodical publications
throughout the countries of the Allies and
ask them TO contribute drawings from
among those appearing In their columns.
Such a collection we feel would be not
merely of great artistic but also of great
historical value, especially in New Zealand
SO far removed from the war.
/ should mention that the borough pro-
poses to center all local memorials of the
war In and about the gallery. l therefore
beg to enlist your sympathy and assistance
If from among the large number OF PEN
and-ink drawings in your papers posses
sion you could forward us a selection of
those dealing with the political, military or
social history of the war, It would greatly
assist our object l can undertake that
they will be permanently housed in a build
ing in every way worthy of them, and will
be exhibited with suitable acknowledg-
ment OF the source from which they come.
