are made at the war department as

operation with the government in all
of its plans for the war was pledged
to Secretary Daniels yesterday by the
1900 mechanics and other civilian
employees of the Philadelphia navy
yard. A delegation from the men
called and presented a memorial
Esigned by the entire force expressing
a desire by example to stimulate all
others to the fullest performance of
their duty to- the country at this
timess
Thfs reassuring message came as
irurnors were being discussed OF a
Threatened strike in the New York
Navy yard. It strengthened the con-
fidence of officials that there will be
mo labor troubles to disturb the navy's
great building operations. There has
been no official information of i'm
pending difficulties, and it is believed
that the revised pay schedules to be
put into effect probably next month
will remove any dissatisfaction that
may prevail. The joint army and
navy wage board. EG,v receiving re-
ports from all yards and arsenals, ex-
poets to make its recommendations
shortly.
The Philadelphia delegation was
compLsed of representatives of the
trades employed at the plants. The
memorial said in part:
I'VE promise to stand by you shoul-
der to shoulder in CARRYING out meas
ures for the development of our navy.
iand particularly for the betterment of
this navy yard We promise to notify
our superiors of any indication of dis
loyalty on the part of any employe
working for the government.
I'VE have watched with pride the
tgrowth and expansion of our navy
yard, and we believe that it is largely
ldue to your Conscience in the men
who are engaged here. No Secretary
of the Navy has been fairer to me-
ichanics and civil employees than you
have been, and we take special pride
sn assisting you in the DEVELOPMENT of
your plans.
Z with the fullest confidence that
tour country is in the right in this
war. and relying on the wisdom of
president Wilson, we earnestly pray
for speedy success for our cause,
and we pledge you by our work to do
our full share toward the victory
which will ultimately be OURS
Secretary Daniels was visjbly at
fected by the memorial. "It is a very
heartening thing in this crisis he
said In reply, ito know you feel the
responsibility which rests upon all
good citizens We must not think of
any business except the business of
winning the war. That is the bust

BRITISH FIGHT
TO Get SHIPS
SEIZED HERE
America First" Policy
Resented President
May Interfere.

Washington, Aug. ga bitter
fight by Great Britain to regain con-
troll of the British owned ships build
ing in American shipyards and which
have been Communicated by the Ship
ping board, was uncovered yesterday.
1t became known that tremendous
pressure has been used on the State
Department to obtain some modifica-
ton of the Communicating order Of
the Shipping Board. The board took
over all vessels under construction
regardless of nationality.
Chairman E. N. Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, was closeted yester-
day afternoon with Secretary of State
Lansing and it is understood the de-
mand of Great Britain was thorough
ly threshed out.
Today it was said that the Ship
ping Board will maintain its already
adopted policy of America First
and that unless diplomatic negotia-
tons upset the plans of the Board
all of the commahdeered tonnage,
whether it be British, French or Nor
wegian, will be retained.
1t was learned, however, that the
pressure exerted by Great Britain has
been enormous, and that both the
State Department and the White
House have before them vigorous ex-
positions of the British contentious.
. The British position, 1t was learned
last night, is that the ShippiDg
Boards order simply confiscates ships
contracted for by the Allies for the
purpose of insuring an American
merchant marine after the war. 1t is
maintained that the order does in
D,f<f -I.% -1, iv,fn
ests which had placed orders with
American shipbuilders, long before
the United States entered the war.
These reasons have been fully and
clearly laid before the State Depart.
ment and the White House and a
lengthy diplomatic correspondence on
the subject has been built up. There
has been considerable inclination
among administration diplomatic Of
hcials. it was learned last night, to
look with some favor on the British
contention.
This inclination has gone SO far that
the shipping board has been asked tc
explain and justify it's general appnca-
| ton of the communicating order.
The original position of the ship
ping board was based upon an infor.
| NAL agreement which was reached a
| the time the war mission headed By
Lord Balfour was in Washington
Conversations held at that time de
veloped a conviction among the ship
ping board negotiatprs that Grea,
Britain was willing to cooperate fully
utilizing American shipbuilding re
sources to the utmost, even to tn,
ships building for British account il
! American yards.
The shipping boards order. it wa
stated today, was based on this IN
| Outstanding. 1t affected between 4,
| 100000 and 100000 tons, of which
the Denman regime estimated tina
1, 900, 900 tons was being built To-
British interests.
1t is understood that the comman
deering plan has aroused the mos
intense feeling among the shipping In
terests in Great Britain These in
terests are extremely powerful in Lon
don.
1t is expected that the final decision
| will rest with the president.

TO FEED SOLDIERS
ON DRIED FOODS

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Dried foods
may take the place in large measure
of canned goods for the American
army abroad. The subject was dis
cussed by officers from the quarter
master department yesterday with de-
partment of agriculture experts.
Many officers favor substituting
dried foods for canned goods because
of the advantage in packing and ship
ping.
Canadian food experts have been
here for several days studying the
subject of drying foods with a view
to supplying the Canadian soldiers
with large quantities.
