U. 5. CONSTRUCTING
7S7 WAR VESSELS
4 NUMBER or SHIPS ALREADY
COMPLETED, WORK BEING
RUSHED.

Washington, Oct. 9.--The Ameri-
can navy's war construction program
consists of 7S7 vessels, including all
| type from super-dreadnoughts to sub
marine chasers.
/ In making this announcement to-
/ day, Secretary Daniels said some IF
/ the vessels have been completed with
, in the last few weeks, and now are
I in service, and that the remainder
of the program is being rushed. The
total cost is estimated at S1,15O,40O,
| 600.
Many of the vessels are destroy
ers and arrangements have been
made for carrying out the $3.50, 000,-
600 supplemental destroyer program,
which the navy expects to be com
pleted in eighteen months.
Contracts Inspected.
Examinations of contracts by the
legal representatives of the builders
prevented the formal signing of the
agreements today with the six COM
panies which are to build the crafts,
but Mr.. Daniels said only minor de-
tails stood in the way of getting the
vessels under construction.
The companies awarded the con
tracts are. the New York Shipbuild-
ing Corporation, the Cramp Compa-
ny, the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company. the Fore
River Ship Building Corporation, the
Bath Iron Works and the Union Iron
Works. All these companies have
had experience in destroyer building
and this is expected to make for rap
id work.
The Fore River Company, Mr.. /
Daniels explained, was the only one
that had offered to build more yes
sells than were awarded it. The I.
builders were called in, each except Z
the Fore River, was given all the
work it estimated that it could un-
dertake. and the balance of the or
der. details of which still are with
held, went to the Fore River Com .
pany.

George D. Dixon. vice-president of

Of traffic. has issued the following
statement:
THE ultimate effect of granting the
application of the railroads for an
increase in freight rates would. un-

will show that it is perfectly sound.

Means improvements
The railroads are about to begin
what amounts almost TO q struS6le
for existence. They are seeking from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
authority to advance the charges 10
per cent. on freight in general with
the exception of coal, coke ana ore.
1t would allow them surplus reNe-
nues out of which the improvements
and extensions could be made, which
are so urgently needed to render
proper service.
These improvements and extern
sions would provide the country with

What An Increase Means

Bethlehem Is Making
4,80O Cannon For U. S.;
Many Government Orders

Bethlehem, Pa, May THE
Bethlehem Steel Works are. so vast
that 1t is difficult for any one man
to keep track of everything, but ac-
cording to an official who is in a
position to know most of the book
ings. the plant has from Uncle Sam,
since the declaration of Congress
that state of war exists with Ger
many. orders for no less than 1900
cannon.
At the beginning of last week the
mum mher of American guns ordered
was about 1000 and during the week
the number of new orders totalled
in the neighborhood of 1900. The
orders are coming so fast that the
Bethlehem plant is becoming
swamped. These orders for 4SOO
guns do not include the orders, also
of more or less recent date, for
about one hundred navy guns of
twelve, fourteen and siXteen-inch
are mostly for what the men call
small stuff" guns three four and
six inches in diameter.
The Bethlehem Steel plant is now
in a position to make the forgings
of twelve to fifteen of these guns
every twenty-four hours. and If the
eiRht-hour law were suspended on
government work it could turn out
from 90 to "a every "a hours. Bor-
ing and machining them is long
er pob. but since about five thousand
men are employed in the gun shops,
they can be finished up pretty fast.
The stupendous scale on which the
United States is preparing for this
war can be imagined when it is re-
collected that at Gettysburg, where
there was fought the greatest artil-
lery duel up to tina dae in the his
tory of the world 1000 guns were
employed.
\ slight majority of the orders for
