AS MANY WOODEN SHIPS
AS COUNTRY CAN BUILD
That Is Program Of Shipping Board
as Outlined by Rear-Ad-
miral Capps.
PINE ASSOCIATION VERY SLOW
Promises Material to Government for
$35 Thousand, but Members Arc
Reluctant to Fill Orders When
They Can Get $40 More Elsewhere.
;By As.oc,at,d Pc,

WASHINGTON. August THE gov.
crnmenrs shipbuilding program, as 1t
will be carried out by the reorganlzed
shipping board. provides for as many
wooden ships as the country can build.
This was made clear to-day to pro-
ducers of Southern pine lumber called
here for conference, looking towards
speeding up their output of ship tim
bers
War demands require the construc-
ton of every vessel-wood and steel
that American yards can turn out, the
lumbermen were told by Rear-Admiral
Capps. the new general manager of the
Shipping Boards Fleet Corporation.
The conference disclosed that al
though the Southern Pine Association
pledged enough lumber for 100 ships,
its members have been slow in fur
nishirg the cut. This was explained
by some as due to unusual sizes de-
mandcd. but others admitted that high
er prices to be had elsewhere made
many plants reluctant to work on gov
ernment contracts. After Chairman
Hurley. Admiral Capps and number
of producers had appealed to the patri-
otism Of the industry to furnish the
government with its requirements, Of
ficers of the association declared they
were certain there would be little moro
difficulty in getting deliveries.
FEW ORDERS PLACED
FOR SHIP MATERIAL
The 1oo-ship units promised by the
Pine Association were based on a price
of *35 thousand. fixed by tho Defense
Councils lumber committee. On out
side orders. it was said to-day, some
producers are getting $40 more than
that. Thus far the association has
placed but forty-three of the 100 or
ders for ship material. Contracts for
siHtysiN additional wooden vessels
have been let in the South. and the
corporation is negotiating for eighty
eight more. bat none of this lumber
is in sight.
The Shipping Board may abandon
the plan of Major-Gcneral Cocktails for
construction OF two government-owne
shipyards to build fabricated steel
ships. Ships will be fabricated. but
the work may be done in private yards
to be Communicated.
Requisitioning of tonnage now under
construction will not be attempted I'M
til the proba BILE cost is ascertained

.HENDERsON's MISSION
AROUsES ENGLISH IRE
Members Of Parliament Greatly Irrt.
tatcd by Cabinet Members Paris
Trip With Paciflst.
WILL NOT SUPPORT HIM
Neither Parliament nor Government
Knows Purpose OF Visit-Rcversal
of Attitude Since Petrograd Jour-
ney Adds to Uncertainty.
fBy Associated Press. ]


| LONDON, August 1.-The fact that a
member OF tho Cabinet. Arthur Hem
derson. minister without portfolio In
the war council, had gone on a mis-
| sion to Paris with the pacifst. Ramsay
Macdonald. member OF Parliament;
George James Wardlc. chairman of the
labor party In the House OF Missions.
and Russian delegates, aroused great
irritation among the members of Par
Lament and seems to threaten trouble
in the government. The purpose of the
journey is to confer with French So
cialists In regard to proposed con-
ference of allied Socialists at London
and the subsequent international con-
ference at Stockholm.
The cruz OF the matter lies In the
fact that Mr.. Henderson. since he re-
turned from Petrograd. reversed his at
tltude on the question OF the British
labor party and Socialists meeting tho
German representatives at Stock holm
and now ADVISES them to rescind the
former resolution against joining the
conference with enemy delegates. Mr..
Henderson has not publicly explained
his change Of views. but It Is known
TO be the result OF his visit to Russia
1t is stated that tho heads Of the
labor party officially accepted his advice
which nevertheless seemed to have
caused crisis in the party which is
now unanimous in its support of Mr..
Henderson.
The government has been closely
questioned in the House Of Commons
in the last few days on the subject OF
NIr. Hendcrsons mission to Paris and
the admission of Mr.. Bonar Law, Chan
ccllor OF the Exchequer. that 1t was
settled without the governments
knowledge and that the government
was ignorant Of what he was doing in
Paris has increased the general irrita-
ton. Lobby correspondents say that
the war cabinet. OF which Mr.. Hcnder-
son is stu presumably q member. al
though his place was taken by George
y. Barnes while he was in Russia. is
gravely embarrassed by the turn events
have taken.
Mr.. Henderson's fellow members of
the labor party in the ministry. who
are as ignorant the members OF the
war cabinet of Mr.. Hendersons move,
met in the House of Commons last even
ing to discuss tho extraordinary situa-
ton, but decided to await his return
before acting. According to the lobby
correspondents. however. 1t was at the
