by an act of Congress, to engage in gov ernment work at government prices. BuC up to the present time, none of them have failed to respond. The only instance III which the government was forced to assert it's newly given authority was when the Bliss company of Brooklyn, after having granted a reduction in the contract figure. was forced to manufacture tor pedoes for sum estimated by the gov ernment to be just. The figures involved indicate the cost of munirions of war, the profits acquired by manufacturers, and the extent of the IoyaIuy or those corporations which voluntarily agreed to manufacture products for the benefit of the government.
 Secretary Daniels authorized a contract between the government and the Bliss company for SIS, 0O0 worth of torpedoes. Afterwards, he asked that reduction from the contract figure be granted. The company agreed to reduce the cost $200 per torpedo. Secretary Daniels concluded that that reduction was not sufficient. He instructed officers of the ordnance de- partment to estimate the cost of manu- fracture, add a reasonable profit margin, and report to him.
 When the estimates were concluded, he notified the Bliss company that it would be expected, under the law to manu- facture the torpedoes very rapidly at price $1525 per torpedo cheaper than the original figure minus the $200 per torpedo reduction.
 The above case furnishes a basis for ting the profits made by those American concerns which for more than two years have kept the armies of Eng land and France supplied with munitions of war. It is reported that the Morgan interests were agents for the purchase of munitions for the allies, that they eX- pended $5,000,000000 or European money, offered American Industry opportunity for splendid profits, and by demanding 2 per cent on the amount expended, acquired many millions for their own treasury.
 The administration, while taking the position that in the war crisis American industrial plants must be operated for the benefits of the government, does not desire to subject such plants to unneces- sary embarrassment. It is announced that whereas no excessive profits will be per- mitted,3 it expects to pay q reasonable profit. The profit judged by the govern ment to be reasonable is said to be in excess of the rate of interest which American bonds are bearing. between 3 and 4 per cent

GOETHALS IS ASKED ] ID TAKE CHARGE OF
 SHIP CONSTRUCTION
One Thousand Wooden Yes sels Will Be Built at Once for Ocean
 Traffic

Washington, April 11.-Maj.- Gen. George Goethals builder of the Panama canal, was formally requested by President Will son today to take charge of the building of 1OOO wooden ships for foreign com merce.
 Increase of owners tonnage is regard ed as an imperative need to defeat the German submarine campaign and keep up the flow of supplies to the entente allies and consequently the greatest inn portance is attached to the plans of the shipping board for building wooden ships, which have been approved by the Presi- dent and the council of national defense. The entire resources of available ship building yards are to be used for the purpose.
 The President hopes that General Goe- thals will undertake the work, and if he does so he will be placed in general charge with unlimited authority to or ganze the building facilities. Recently the general accepted the position of state engineer of New Jersey, but it is under stood that his contract allows him to give up the work if called upon to perform public duties.

voice that is speaking thus its praises
for the men of Camp Greene. 1t is a
cosmopolitan crowd. 1t is a mighty
company of men of varied walks in
life of varied spheres, of varied at
tainments. of varied stations and of
varied influences, but up from the di-
versified ranks and vocations comes
their voice in a volume of sweeping
symphony. making a mighty and ma
jestic utterance of attestation.
ITO the speech of this veritable
cloud of witnesses, opportunity offers
little to add. One has to fight off
hyperbole when speaking of the great
impression which has been made upon
this community by these stalwart
brethren of the other side of the con-
tinent, We have seen them under the
changing moods of life. In the house
holds of the people of Charlotte they
have entered; around the hearthstOnes
they have been seated at the tables
they have dined and in all of the So
cial precincts their invasion has been
friendly and uplifting. They have ap-
peared on the streets, in the stores,
in front of the counters, before the
money changers, in the presence of
the clerks and the magnificence of
their young manhood has stood re-
vealed in an unimpaired splendor
They have marched in a compact body
of 5000 along the streets of the city,
when martial music preceded their
footballs, and how imperial was their
presence there, how majestic and how
unspeakably impressive, was told last
Thursday by an awe-inspired silence
more eloquent than any outburst or
handclaDping or volume of cheers.
Circumstances restrict us in at
tempting TO relate in any sort of suf-
ficient elaboration what the stay of
these soldiers has meant TO this COM
munity. We must count it no mean
chance in the life-while of Charlotte
that il has struck hands with the
slopes OF the Pacific through the me-
dunn of this splendid host of Military
America. that with the fathers and
mothers of the great northwest whose
fine fellows have stopped here for a
little in their caravan toward the
countries of conflict the fathers and
mothers of Charlotte boys have found
a common inheritance; that with the
limitless plains of the west all OF
Piedmont, Carolina, has formed an in
that can not be touched by the
personal than this, the soldiers at
Camp Greene have broadened the
scope of our nationalism. The spans
of its material measurements have

so much in these stirring and tragic
times in terms of a mighty nation that
has girded up its loins and set out on
its errand of love"

charged that Canadian labor leaders

charged that Canadian labor leaders
too often are slackers.
The charge came in the course of a
vehement speech which President
Gompers made in support of a reso-
luton from the resolutions committee
urging that treaties be perfected to
force allied aliens of the draft age
into the military service OF this coun-
try or of their own country or that
they be deported. His address was
followed by an overwhelming vote for
the resolution.
A protest against the resolution
from Thomas Black of Toronto, a
young man apparently of draft age
was the cause OF President Gompers'
address and its serious charge. Black
had pleaded against any endorsement
of the CONSUMPTION. He said he was
OF CONSUMPTION age and had bitterly
fought CONSUMPTION in Canada
