VESSEL BUILDING HALTED
Charges Made That Gen. GoetheIs Waa
Prescribing an Impossible Form
of Contract.

Washington.-Diffe over the
Governments wooden ship building
program came to head when F. A
Eustis, Assistant General Manager OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and
his assistant, F. Huntington Clark,
issued statements virtually charging
Mai. Gen. Geo. w. Goethals, General
Manager Of the corporation, with halt
ing building of the vessels by prescrib.
ing an impossible form Of contract.
The statements reveal that the feet
corporation has just received offers
from 10 firms to build 496 wooden ships
within II months or 7S6 within IS
months. Gen. aGoethals has turned the
proposals down because the builders
wish to construct the ships on a cost
plus 10 per cent profit basis, instead OF
contracting for a fiat price for the
ships.

YOUNG AMERICANS RESPOND
First Military Census Ever Taken In
the United States Is Completed
Without Disturbance.

Washington.-More than 100000
young Americans enrolled themselves
for war service. Registration day,
with but a few weeks of preparation,
saw the first military census ever
taken in the United States completed
without a single untoward event Of
consequence. The manhood Of the ma
ton obeyed the Presidents call and
volunteered in mass, setting at naught
all the schemes and plottings of Ger
man sympathizers and the few cranks
who have agitated against registration.
1t remains but to select the men who
are to go to the front. From prac-
tically every state assuring messages
came to Brigadier General Crowder,
Provost Marshal General, Federal su-
pervising officer of the great enter
prise. The Governors were unan-
imous in reporting that complete quiet
had prevailed throughout the day and
that a full registration was indicated.

him to learn of the deliverance Of the
men. "We owe our lives to Manus
Duggan," said Johnson. HE was the
one who directed all the work. None
