Charles Piez Succeeds
Admiral Harris as Head :
of U. S. Fleet Corporation

Charles Piez of Chicago. who recently
was made vice president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. today was ap-
pointed general manager of the corpora
tiona to succeed Rear Admiral Frederick
R. Harris. who resigned yesterday.
Another reorganization of the fleet COR
poration was announced. Rear Admiral
Bowles. aid to Admiral Harris, will be
given an important place in the new or
ganization. James Heyworth will take
full charge of wooden construction, and
Charles Day win become manager of the
production department
Admiral Harris resignation was ac-
eepted, Chairman Hurley stated because
he insisted on having the Emergency Fleet
Corporation moved to Philadelphia. and
upon immediate approval OF an expendi-
ture of si2.o00,00o for housing cons54uc-
ton in connection with the shipyards
work.
Reports Satisfactory Progress.
The shipbuilding program. as announced
by Chairman Hurley OF the shipping
board. is in better shape tnan at any time
since it was launched Conditions on
the Pacific coast are excellent, he de.
ciared. and work is progressing every.
where as fast as human labor can turn
it out.
There are at present under construc.
tion s.395.3oS deadweight tons of ship-
ping.
Only few days ago. Ii was learned.
Chairman Hurley sent full report of
progress SO far in the shipbuilding pro-
gram to the President. and it is UNDER
stood the President is gratified at the
contents of the report Mr. Hurley has
his full support. 1t is believed, and his
entire confidence. Reports that the
resignation of Chairman Hurley is i'm
pending We're regarded today as wholly
without foundation.
Confirmation of the optimism of Mr.
Hurley is found in report from
Lloyd's, carefully checked up. which
shows there is a better basis for optf-
mism than any time since the ener.
gency program was launched.
What the Figures Show.
The plans of last May have beea
into hulls on the shipways
and ships on the seas" Mr. Hurley
stated today. I'VE are close to the
point where the results of what has
been done viii be apparent to every
one. Admiral Bowles' carefully checked
figures show s.S95.sOs deadweight tons

In statement today regarding the
Mr.. Hurley said:
''The Emergency Fleet Corporation was
organized in the same form as other
arge and successful corporations The
chairman of the shipping board is the
president of the fleet corporation. and
here are two vice presidents, Mr. Dom
aid of the board and Mr.. Piez, elected
several months ago. There is a board or
trustees, which corresponds to the usual
board of directors. and of which the
president, vice presidents and members
IF the shipping board are members. The
is precisely the same as
hat of the usual corporation.
Asked to Effect Reorganization.
I'm order to expedite the actual pro-
iuction of ships. the groundwork OF

mana agements. Mr.. Pfez. one OF the most
loted engineers and organizers In the
country. was requested by me to effect
reorganization. This reorganization

The German and Austrian foreign

tions will begin. and asking them to
participate or to state whether they
wish peace or not
Up to this evening The embassies had

mats is said to have reached no definite
decision.
Tries to Force Recognition.
The commissary of foreign affairs has
notified the foreign embassies that they
must wise the passports of bolsheviki
couriers or that similar courtesies will
be refused them.
The notff1cation says the government
considers the question of recognition
purely a formality and that it does not
care ABOUT it in the least, but that for
eign governments must realize that the
bolsheriki constitutes the de facto gov
ernment and extend to it the right for
its couriers to travel abroad
Disorders at Harbin.
LONDON. December 1s.-News re-
ceived in, London is to the effect that
the population of Harbin, Manchuria. is
entirely under the control of the bolshe-
Wiki and that great disorder prevails
there. Movements of the Russian rail-
way administrators and of the civil
governor are being hampered. The gov
ernor's authority Is being ignored. The
bolshevikt in Harbin are said to be
more aggressive than those In Petro-
grad.
A dispatch received here from Peking
says the allied ministers in the Chinese
capital decided that at the present juno
ture the preservation of order in Harbin
should be lntrusted to the Chinese gov
ernment and that two battalions of
Chinese regular troops were dispatched
there from Kirin.

People Should Know.

Senator Harding of ohi6, the author
of the resolution for the investigation.
told the Senate il was high time the
American people were informed in re-
gard to the shipping program. He
pointed out that while the shipping
board has been in operation for months
there are no ships.
Senator Williams of Mississippi adyo-
Gated the adoption of the resolution. as

and the civilians of the board and the
Emergency Fleet Cooperation.

A RACIAL QUESTION SETTLED.
Color of Soul Rather Than of Skin the
Issue Of the Future.

Issue Of the Future.
From the New Republic.
Formally, white race solidarity has
been abolished. The European En-
tente Allies cannot forget that they
owe the tranquility of their Asiatic
possessions to the power and good
will of Japan. We in the United
States will presently realize how for
tunate it is that Japan is on u side
now, not ready to fall upon our de-
~fenseless flank.
The friendly neutrality of China has
given the allied group a better under
standing of China's national aspira-
lions than could have been derived
from the events of a generation of
peace. midas desire for a fiscal pol
icy that might foster her national in
teGests now seems worth the British
governments attention, though export
ers protest the danger to their trade.
And has not Germany herself yield
ediher passionate devotion to the ideal
of "a white mans world? What shades
of color does she find revolving in her
allies the Turks? And if red Next
cans and yellow Japanese were pre-
pairing to Stay and lay waste on our
soil, the Germans sacred horror of
excess pigment would hardly be in
voked in our defense. The world is
becoming dreadfully mixed. Soon we
shall be distinguishing races by the
color of their souls, instead of their
skins.
And what shall we have lost with
the solidarity of the white race? The
worst scourge that has eve afflicted
mankind. Out of this solidarity has
arisen the doctrine that the colored
races of the earth are as cattle, to be
driven or exterminated as consider
alton of interest may decree. What
the colored races have paid we may
pass over in silence. What the white
race has paid and still is paying is
our immediate concern. A" " The free
development Of black and brown and
yellow must be a primary object of
international strivings, else all races
must pay, the white most of all.

In all social and religious matters,

night, constitute the only argument in
