Here Are First Details
or Uncle Sam S New Plan
For Wooden Shipbuilding

I was this country then paying to its
need Of merchant ships.
',NOw we are at war, and have too
little tonnage to transport our men
and supplies. We are paying the
J piper"
A complete revolution in shipbuild-
ing methods on the east coast is
necessary to supply the governments
ships as fast as they are needed, says
Estep.
Down-east shipwrights have prided
themselves on their slow, deliberate
work. making vessels that WOULD last
for decades.
The need now is for vessels built
fast, that may fall apart in eight or
ten years, but will serve their pur.
pose at once.
1.-The. country has been told that
the wooden ship idea is chimerical,"
said Estep, "and opponents of wooden
ships claim to have Maj j-Gen. Goe.
thars on their side.
"Shipping men are we'll aware
of the weaknesses of wooden car
go carriers But the only U-bOat
remedy now insight is an i'm
mense fleet of cargo carriers.
1.-The government, therefore, is 60
ing ahead with it's wooden ship pro-
gram.
But if 300 vessels of this type are
placed in service in the next Is
months, instead of the touted 1000, a
tremendous task will have been ac'
comDlished.
1.-The proposed vessels will be PSI
feet and inches long over all, 46
feet beam and 26 feet deep Their
cargo capacity will be 5000 tons.
Each hull will require about a
million and half feet of lumber
Each boat will be operated by steam

ed, will appear in the next issue OF
the Marine Review.

would not be operated for profit, but

Wilson Turns
Down Offer
OF Roosevelt

Washington, May 19.-Colonel
Roosevelt will not be permitted to
raise his volunteer expedition to car
ry the American flag against the
Germans in France.
On signing the war army bill to-
day, President Wilson issued a state
ment saying that, acting under ex-
pert advice from both sides of the
water, he would be unable to avail
himself at the present stage of the
war of the authorization to organize
volunteer divisions.
There was talk in army circles OF
the possibility that way would be
found to use the former presidents
services in another way, but official
comment was lacking.
The presidents statement follows,
in part:
81 shall not avail myself. at any
rate at the present stage Of the war,
of the authorization conferred by the
act to organize volunteer divisions.
To do so would seriously interfere
with the carrying out of the chief and
most immediate important purpose
contemplated by this legislation, the
prompt creation and early use of an
effective army. and would contribute
practically nothing to the effective
strength Of the armies now engaged
against Germany
Il understand that the section OF
this act which authorizes the crea-
tion of volunteer divisions in addition
to the draft was added with view
to providing an independent COM
mand for Mr.. Roosevelt and giving
the military authority an opportunity
to use his fine vigor and enthusiasm
in recruiting the forces now at the
western front"

Cleveland, Ohio, HoMay@'f 19-The
greatest rush of shipbuilding in Amer
ican history is now not merely in
prospect, Dut actually under way.
Yards on the Atlantic, Pacific and
Gulf coasts are building ships for Un

The long-forgotten art of building
ships of wood has been Drought back
with an impetus made greater by
necessity
One wooden ship is now under con.
struction for every two ships Of steel.
Ships will be built for transatlantic
service at the probable rate of two
steel vessels to one of wood.
These facts about the great ship
building campaign now under way
come from Cole Estep, editor of the
Marine Review, who has just made

tion on the Atlantic and gulf.

en- vessels under construction in
America.
"No official figures have since been
published
But the proportion of wooden yes
sells is undoubtedly larger now.
9TH necessity for wooden vessels
arises from the limited capacity of
American steel plate mills. There
are in the United States and Canada
only "a concerns making steel plates,
and of these only 20 to 25 can make
ship plates.
There are only 23 manufacturers

FOUGHT IN SPANISH WAR; ~
INDIAN WARRIOR OF NOTE
During Russian-Japanese War He
Was Military Attache at
Toxic

Washington, May 10. - President
Wilson has directed that an expedi-
tionary force, approximately one d.
vision or regulars, under command of
General J. ]. Pershing, proceed to
France at an early date.
Major General John J. Pershing
who is to lead the battle units against
the Germans, has been a fighter
against the Indians, Filipinos and
Mexicans. A year ago in March, then
brigadier general, he commanded
the column which went into Mexico
in search of Villa, and held his lines
many months against menacing
moves of Mexicans.
He served in Cuba in 1898, and lat
er lead successful operations against
the Moros in the Philippines. Earlier
in his career, he had fought the Ap.
pache and Sioux Indians in the west
General Pershing, who is nearly 81
years old, is native Of Missouri. At
one time he intended to be lawyer
and graduated in q law course at
the University of Nebraska, but later
from which he graduated In 1886. He
married a daughter Of Senator War
rem Of Wyoming, but lost his wife
| and three children in fire at the
Presidio, San Francisco, two years
ago. 'f
In Various Wars. .a I
The war departments bureau of In.
sular affairs was organized by Gen.
eral Pershing soon after the Spanish
war, and, for time he was its chief.
During the RussO-Japanese'a war he
acted as military attache. at Toxic,
and was with Kuroki's army In Man.
churia. From 1896 to 1913: he was
in the Philippines, part 6f the time
as director Of Moro Province. Then
he became head of the eighth brigade
with headquarters in San Francisco,
and served in that capacity until the
Mexican trouble last year.
May Help Belgium.
American troops, when they 60 to
the European battle front, may but.
tress the Belgian line on the extreme
west-all of Belgium that escaped
the German invaders. The war de.
partment today added nothing con.
corning the troops, but President vii.
sons statement for not accepting at
this time Colonel R0osevelts offer of
a division contained q phrase which
has attracted much attention. The
president explained that the regular
army officer, whom the colonel want.
ed to take with his division, was
needed for the much more pressing
and necessary duty OF training the
regular troops to put them into the
fields of Belgium and france" ,od
So far as is known, that is the first
mention of putting American troops
in Belgium, and the sentiment OF
sending troops bearing the American
flag to the violated soil Of the little
country has quickly been recognized.
Those who favor it point out that
since the United States entered the
war to defend humanity against Ger.
man aggression, it's troops could he
no better employed than in behalf of
the most outraged of all humanity.
