Washington, July 17.-Differences be- ping board and Major General Goethals manager of the boards fleet corpora tion, which have halted the govern ment's shpbuilding programme, appar- ently were far from a settlement to- night.
 General Goethals, who yesterday post poned his plans for constructing two great government shipbuilding plants and for requisitioning ships now building, made no move today toward going ahead to his statement of last night that MT. Denman had asked for delay to give the shipping board time to go over his plans.
 DENMAN PLACES BLAME
 Chairman Denman put the whole re- sponsbility for the delay on General Goethals, who he charged was slow in furnishing information asked of him yesterday concerning his plans. At the same time he made it clear that the shipping board, as holder of the stock in the fleet corporation, will study the generals programme carefully before giving it approval.
 Part of the informat tion asked of Gen eral Goethals has been given to MT. Den man, but more which shipping board officials declare is just as important has not been forthcoming, it was de- elared tonight
 As soon as complete information is at hand, perhaps tomorrow, it was said at the offices of the board, a meeting of the board members and General Goe thals will be called to go over the sit uation Reports that General Goethals had been refused an immediate confer ence he requested with MT. Denman to go over all the questions involved were not confirmed by the board.
 INFORMATION WANTED
 Information sought by MT. Denman. which 1t was declared at the shipping board tonight had not been furnished had to do with the nature of contracts Tor the proposed government owned shlrbuilding plants and with estimates or their cost and the cost of comman- oeerlng shipping on stocks.

 his associates indicated their intentions.
 there was every hope that the measure would be in the handv Of the President before tomorrow night.
 It is understood that those who will object to passage tomorrow will direct their attack against the provision which empowers the President to draft men

 Senator Chamberlain said tonight an overwhelming majority Of the Senate is favorable to the bill and is anxious for immediate action. If he is unable to se- cure unanimous consent tomorrow for the bill's consideration, he plans to move to take it up for the morning session at | least and expects to have enough votes behind him.

 of the Members

Washington, July 1-Sentiment in the Senate toward compromising differences on the food control bill apparently crys- tallized today on group of amendments drawn up at joint conferences of demo- cratic and republican leaders.
 While on the Senate floor another day was spent in criticism of the defense council and other executive bodies, a re- print of the bill was made embodying the leaders proposals which are expect ed to remove many basic objections and develop general support.
 PRINCIPAL REVISIONS
 Principal revisions recommended by the leaders are for limitation of government ing kerosene and gasoline; creation of a special board of food administration of three salaried commissioners, instead of administration by one individual; fixing by Congress of basic minimum price of s1.75 per bushel for No. northern wheat; extension of government licensing to ele- vators, farm machinery, factories, pack ing houses, coal mines and dealers, fer tilizer producers and wholesalers Of such products; and government purchase and
 
 sale, to secure reasonable prices of fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans and potatoes only.
 VOTING TO BEGIN
 Voting on these proposals and other amendments is expected to begin tomor- row. Among the first to come up prob ably will be that under discussion today, restricting sale to the government of products in which volunteer advisers of the defense council are personally in- terested

The success of the Germans north of Mont Teton was obtained through per sstent counter attacks on positions they had lost last Saturday, in which their losses had been extremely heavy.

BUMPER CROP OF
POTATOES seen

The greatest crop Of potatoes ever
harvested tn the state of Indiana is
forecast in the July summary OF
George c. Bryant, Indiana crop field
agent, issued Friday.
There will be 100000 bushels Of
spuds harvested in the state this year,
to total crop last year OF 3,256,0oo
bushels. Bryant's report says. Oats
will yield over 100000 bushels,
against 50,000,000 last year.
Almost all other crops show large
gains. Corn will run over 20O,000,0o0
bushels, to 174,0O0,000 last year;
wheat is estimated at 31,00o,000 bush.
els against 100000: tobacco and
apples will run ahead of their last
years crops
Crops to show decrease are hay,
which will harvest about three-fourths
OF last years banner production, and
peaches. which will also have about
three-fourths of last years crops.
The month of July was favorable to
almost all growing things, the report
says. Many crops and most veger
tables made a substantial gain over
June, hay being the only one to be
damaged.
The month was cold but there was
more than the usual amount OF sun
shine, according to Bryant.

Here's Marching Song
of Friends Unit

HAVERFORD, Pa, Aug. 10.-Here's
the marching song which has become
the "Tipperary" Of the boys of the
Friends Reconstruction Unit on their
hikes. 1t is sung to the tune of I've
been working on the railroad:
I'VE will soon be reconstructing,
Eighteen hours day:
We will soon be reconstructing,
And we won't get any pay.
We will live on grass and dog meat;
Sleep upon the ground;
Have to march on bare feet,
When we're homeward bound"
I'VE will soon be reconstructing,
In somewhere in France;
We will soon be reconstructing.
In these khaki pants.
We will build lot of houses,
Roads and Paris flats;
Find for lonely wives their spouses:
To all take off our hats"
Credit for most of the song is given
to Henry Strator. of Louisville, but 1t
"just growed" on one of the hikes,
lines being contributed by several
men. It's only rival is the Marsel-
laise, which is sung In many accents
and tunes.

Marines In France
to Fight for Their
Forest Green Togs

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP in
France, Aug. 9.-The marines of the
expeditionary force will make fight
to retain their forest green uniform
against a tentative order which would
place them in regular army khaki. The
marines think they can arrange a
necessary supply of their distinctive
clothing, but army officers feel it
would perhaps be better to have the
entire expedition uniformed alike.
The marines hold that to abandon
their distinctive dress would tend to
lower the morals of the men which in
turn would rob the expedition Of the
spirit of friendly rivalry now existing
between services. The marines cite
the case of the Alpine Chasseurs in
France, who won their fight early in
the war to retain their distinctive uni
forms of dark blue against an order
that all French troops should wear
horizon blue.
The marines today subscribed to a
fund of sixty thousand dollars to buy
French war bonds, the fact evoking
great cheers from their French train
erS.

De SAuLLES HAD
$4,000 INCOME

MINEOLA, N. Y, Aug. 10.-Mrs.
Blanca De Saulles, who suffered a
nervous breakdown after she shot and
instantly killed her former husband.
John Longer De Saulles, was said to be
somewhat improved today following
the visit Of her four and half year
old son, yesterday, over the custody Of
whom the shooting occurred.
The first day of the inquest, which
has been postponed, brought out the
fact that De Saulles left an unsigned
will. The will made no mention Of any
provision for his former wife who had
divorced him on the ground Of inf
deity, but dealt principally with his
wishes regarding the education of the
child. It was said the will, which was
written several months ago, was prop
ably not signed because Of the divorce
proceedings, which had not been de-
cided at that time.
While no details of the estate left
by De Saulles were given out, it was
learned that his personal income from
his real estate business has been about
$4,000 a year during his life time.
The will also showed that the country
home known as "The Box" where De
Saulles lived was not leased, as gen.
orally reported, but was owned by De
Saulles De SalAles by the terms of
the unsigned will expressed the wish
that his son be educated at Yale.
The inquest was adjourned when
Mrs. De Saulles maid, Susanne Man
ton,> failed to appear to~siye her test!-
mony. The maid, who was with Mrs.
DeSaulles on the night she shot her
husband, has been out on $1,000 bail,
and it was said was in another part of
the building at the time.
