BERLIN, Via Lonodn, May s.
President Wilson is at error If he
thinks there is line of distinc-
tion between the German people
and the German leaders, accord
ing to Ernest Stresseman, liberal
reichstag leader.
"A world war with 1000, 900
German volunteers would have
been impossible If there had been
any difference between our people
and our government" he told the
United Press today.
1.-The breach with America is
the natural result of an English
propaganda operated for a score
or more years. When l visited
the United States in 1912, l saw
what a caricature Germany had
been made in American eyes,
without which Wilson's effort to
separate the German people and
their government is inexplicable.
Kaiser Limited.
1.-THE German parliament Is
based on the freest electoral sys-

more limited in his acts of i'm
perial power than the president Of
the United States.

UNIONS PLAN PEACE

Preliminary to making plans for
Strengthening the longshoremen' e
union on the Pacific coast and re-
gaining control of the waterfront
labor situation, delegates to the
annual convention of the Pacific
coast division of the International
Longshoremen's association recit-
ed conditions ON the coast at Tues
days session.
During the morning reports
were heard from Tacoma, Everett
and Seattle delegates. The re-
mainder of the day was to be spent
hearing of coast conditions.
Although delegates were unwill-
ing to discuss the details of their
secret meeting, 1t leaked out that
this years convention Is by far the
most important held by the asso-
citation in years.
The disorganized condition of
the coast unions, due to the open
shop policy adopted by employers
since the recent strike, has caused
the longshoremen to face an un-
usually difficult situation.
AS soon as all delegates have
reported, plans will be made for
winning back the confidence of
the employers and re-establishing
the longshoremen's union on the
waterfronts of Puget Sound, Port
land, San Francisco, San Diego
and other important seaport cities,
| 1t is said.
Conditions i'm Tacoma were
described as being more un-
satisfactory than any other
waterfront city on the coast.
The open shop policy which
permits any person, union or
nOn-uniOn, to work as a long
shoreman in Tacoma and Sc
attic docks, has practically
killed the effectiveness of
the union organization here,
it was complained.
So important Is the coast situa-
tion that T. v. O'Connor, presi-
dent of the International associa-
ton, is on his way to Tacoma to
take active charge of the conven-
ton. He is due to arrive from Chi
cago tonight.
The fact that America is at war
with Germany is said to have caus-
ed abandonment of certain plans
Ialready made for strengthening
the unions.

BILLION
FOR SHIP
BUILDING
UNITED Press Leased wire.)


WASHINGTON, ID. c., May s.
The administration will ask con-
gress for a billion-dollar appro-
priation to build steel and wooden
merchant ships, it was learned
today.
The entire power of the govern
ment and the resources of the ma
ton are to be concentrated in a
gigantic building program to
thwart the kaiser's U-boats.
Product of all steel, coal and
iron companies of the country, in
SO far as they are necessary, Will
be given over by the government
to speed the great building pro-
gram.
Work on private contracts will
be stopped. Those holding con-
tracts for private supply will be
recompensed.
Speed Up Plants.
An appraisement board is to be
organized to pay fair amount OF
damages to individuals and cor
porations, where private work is
stopped and the product of plants
taken over. All of the steel plants
of the country will be speeded
up on the government work.
Supplies for bridge building,
for steel skyscrapers and in the
making Of small steel articles
will be halted and all of the
available plants turned to ship
work.
1t is not contemplated that
these industries will be taken over
or operated by the government.
They are to be operated for the
government and all damages paid
to others from the billion-dollar
appropriation asked of congress.
Workers Recruited.
1t is felt that it is the duty and
the necessity of this nation to put
shipbuilding ahead of every other
concern.

wooden ship construction are be-
ing recruited all over the country
by the United States employment
service of the department of labor.

was the view expressed officially
by q competent navy department
authority today.
His opinion was given while w.
j.. Saunders and other members
of the naval consulting board
were at the department to confer
regarding recent inventions to
meet the submarine menace.
This authority declared that
I'VE are getting down to brass
tacks." The lines of effort, he
said, are converging toward a sue
cessful outcome. Inventions have
been tried out and several groups
of men working on the problem
are beginning to coordinate their
work In the direction of an actual
solution.
Every branch of science is being
used in solving the submarine
problem. The most prominent
workers in scientific and inventive
lines are assisting.
Would you say a solution is
just ahead?" he was asked.
II believe So" he replied.

Some Thoughts

EDITOR THE TINES:
I've read and thought for quite
a while,
About this awful war,
And wonder If the boys that's
gone,
Know what they have enlisted
for;
They tel Them that they're fight
ing
For their country and theil
home,
And then they send them faI
away,
To bleed and die alone.
They tell the farmers plainly
The crops that they must make
And then they send the boys away
To fight for the foreigners
sake.
Now If this war has got to be,
Go get the idle ones, pray,
And leave the working man alone,
To SOW some oats and make
his hay.
Just take the preachers son II
you will,
To don the soldiers buds,
But leave the man behind the
plow,
To stay and raise some spuds
And there's the lawyer we can
spare
For he's scheming all the time,
Just let him take an army gun
/. And go to the fighting line.
The editors, too, have told lot,
And urged our boys to go.
Now, go yourself and see the fun,
For we don't want to know;
And there's the rich man, fat and
fine,
Coax him to go to war,
And let him take his precious son,
For they know what it's for.
II Teddy wants to go and fight
And raise an army band,
Why, let him pick the Dnglishmen
To fight for their own land;
And II he gets weak and sweaty
From hearing the Germans
shout,
Let him flee to South America
Ard cool In the river Of doubt.
The senator's, too, that begged our
votes,
And helping with his strife;
Let them go to the battlefield
And get taste Of life;
And IL the ones that are men,
toned here
Don't care to go and scrop,
Just keep your thoughts all to
yourself
And let us boys come back.
