GERMAN NAVAL REVOLT FAILS.
Crews On Four Battleshlps Mutinied
Several Shot.

Amsterdam.-A mutiny among the
crews of four battleships of the Ger
man fleet has occurred at Wilhelms-
haven. One of these battleships was
the Westfalen, whose captain was
thrown overheard and drowned. The
crews landed. Marines refused to fire
on them, whereupon soldiers surround
ed the sailors, who surrendered.
A mutiny is reported to have occur
red on the German warship Nurn-
berg, which was at sea. The men
seized the officers and proceeded in
the direction of Norway, with the in,
tention of being interned. The Nurn,
berg was overtaken by destroyers and
forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to Wilhelms'
haven and ordered that one out OF
every seven mutineers be shot. Chan
cellor Michaelis protested, with the re-
suit that only three were shot. Heavy
sentences were imposed on the others.
Emperor Williams visit to Will
helmshaven in company with Chancel'
lor Michaelis was made after the
mutiny had been suppressed.
One of the reasons for the mutiny
was bad and inadequate food.

LEAD THE WORLD
Construction Program Calls For
787 Vessels.
EVERY TYPE IS INCLUDED
Total Program Costs $1,150, 100000
Work OF Construction Being Rush
ed-some Vessels Completed
and Now In Service.

Washington American Navy's
war construction program consists OF
787 vessels, including all types from
superdreadnoughts to submarine
chasers.
In making this announcement, Sec
retary Daniels said some of the vessels
have been completed within the past
few weeks and are now in service and
that the remainder Of the program Is
being rushed. The total cost is estf
mated at s1,150, 100000.
Many OF the vessels. are destroyers
and arrangements have been made FOL
carrying out the s350,000,000 supple
mental destroyer program, which the
Navy expects to be completed in 10
months.
Examinations of contracts by the
legal representatives Of the builders
prevented the formal signing OF the
agreements with the six companies
which are to build the craft, but Mr..
Daniels said only minor details stood
in the way of getting the vessels under
construction.
Secretary Daniels said he expected
the first of the new destroyers to be
launched and commissioned within
nine months. They will be OF the
latest, largest and improved type
which have just been tried by the
American Navy, he said, and found to
be unsurpassed by any destroyers in
the world.

TO KEEP THE BOYS

MEADE GETS BIG SUPPLY
Four Times As Many Blankets AS
Men At Cantonment-Great Mo-
bilization OF Textile
Industry.

ashington.-Nearly 13,OOO,0OO arti-
cles of clothing and sleeping equipment
have been shipped to the 16 National
Army cantonments, according to ON
cial figures made public by the War
Department
OF this enormous total, Camp Meade,
with 20,300 men in camp, has received
the following: Bedsacks, 10000; blank
cts, S0,532;, cotton breeches, 1905;
wooden breeches, 21,295; cotton coats,
1851; wooden coats 24,1SS; summer

woolen stockings, 41,453; cotton un-
dershirts, aS,615; woolen undershirts,
1855, and shoes, 36,642.
The figures cover shipments up to
October 2. They reveal tremendous
response on the part of the American
industries to the emergency demands
OF the Government. Deliveries that
have already been made seemed only
few weeks ago TO be utterly impos-
sible of accomplishment. When the
war broke out the manufacturing
establishments were without large re-
serve stocks of any kind, owing both
to domestic consumption and the in.
sistent demands from foreign coun-
tries. In the few months since then
these industries have been practically
made over to the needs of Uncle Sam,
and there has been such mobilization
and realignment of their facilities as
to stagger imagination in many in
stances.
From now on, II is stated, the flow of
supplies for the army will be steady
and constant. The total figures on
shipments made to all 16 cantonments
follow: Bedsacks, 422,346; blankets,
