What Could
Be Done

It has taken only seven weeks to
build the first submarine chaser in
navy yard. This boat was built under
favorable circumstances. But it shows
how quickly they can be turned out
under proper conditions, and it should
have been the business Of the gov
eminent to see that conditions were
favorable. Yet, although it takes only
seven weeks TO build a chaser and
although the intention TO build fleet
of them was formed back in February,
all the private shipbuilding resources
Of the United States are going to turn
out only two such boats five or six
months later-in August.
The reason for this poor showing
is the half hearted way in which the
department went at the work of build

Prussia Spurs Search
For Phosphate Beds
Premiums Offered for Discov-
cry of Deposits; Fertilizers
Badly Needed

Copenhagen, June 1.-THE Prussian
Governments industrial and agricult-
ural representatives have joined in an
offer Of large premiums for the discov-
cry of further deposits Of phosphates
in Germany which can be used in the
manufacture of fertilizer.
Some small deposits exist on the
rabn River and are being worked in
tensively, but this product - utterly
;nadeouate 20 cover the German re-
ouirements. More than $l2,OOO,OOO
worth Of phosphate was imported an
nually before the war.
The inadequacy in the supply of
rhosphates and nitrates. and even
potash. in which Germany has = world
monopoly, but which cannot be mined
in sufficient quantities owing to a
rhortage of labor, is largely responsi-
bic for the decrease in Germany's ngri-
cultural production. ..

On the warships this was the result
Of practically a three-day campaign.
Some ships printed their own subscrip-
ton blanks and men worked all night
to get them through in time. Some Of
the applications were sent to Washing

came by telegraph and radio.

Official Neglect Delaying Whole
U-Boat Chaser Programme
Eight of the First Ten Vessels To Be Built in Private Yards
viii Not Be Ready Time; Fewer Than
200 Now Contracted For
By c. w. Gilbert

wv ASHINGTON. June 1.-THE facts
w with regard to the production
OF submarine chasers are as fol-
lows: Contracts call for the delivery
of ten boats on or before the first OF
August from private yards. Of these
ten, probably two will be ready before
August 1. In addition, the navy yards
will probably turn out by that date
twenty-three boats, making in all TWEEN
ty-fve.
So, when the Navy Department an
nounced that it had expected TO have
only ten boats by August and would
actually have twenty-five, it must have
excluded from its original estimate of
those to be ready by August l the
product of the navy yards, perhaps be-
cause there was no contract date for
these boats, and it must now be in
Guiding them in its present estimate OF
what will, in fact, be delivered on
August 1. But the truth remains that
eight of the first ten boats TO be built
in private yards will not be ready on
time.
That, however, is only a small part
of the Navy Departments failure to do
its utmost with programme which is
indispensable, now that the Allies are
agreed upon an offensive rather than
defensive policy against the submarine.
Contracts for the chasers were let in
April, and 1t was announced by the
Navy Department that hundreds" of
them would be ready by January l..
The public probably was led to the con-
clusion from this announcement that
500 or 600 of the boats would take the
sea before the first Of next year. In
stead Of Hundreds" there will be at
the outside two hundred, and private
estimates by competent shipbuilders
put the figure considerably lower than
that.

Washington, June 17.-Suggestions
that the country's steel mills will hold
out for a price Of S95 a ton for steel
that goes into the great feet Of mer-
chant vessels to be built by the gov
eminent drew from Chairman Denman
of the Shipping Board the statement to-
night that a price that high would not
be paid.

figure" said DR.. Denman. "The price

Although Major General Cocktails

IL became known to-day that last week
he declined TO sign contracts for ten
ships TO be built by a New York con-
Germ because of the high price allowed
for steel, and that General Goethals
later sent the contracts back with the
price reduced to $50 ton.
Committee to Fix Price
In a statement yesterday General
Goethals said the price of steel would
be left TO the committee on raw sup
plies of the Council of National De
fence, and contracts would be let with
the understanding that prices deter
mined on by the committee would gov

Chairman Denman said to-day that
the committee would act in an advisory
capacity.

HEALTH HINTS

Food taken into the body three times

as coal shoveled into an engine.
1t furnishes energy for the move
ment OF the body and its parts and
supplies the heat to keep the body
warm.
The energy value of food is meas.
Ired In a unit called the calorie. One
calorie OF heat energy will warm two
quarts OF water one degree.
Ono large egg, medium slice OF
white bread, an ordinary pat OF but.
ter one and half Jumps OF sugar, or
a small lamb chop contains about 100
calorles of energy. The ordinary per-
son not engaged in hard labor needs
about $500 Galleries a day. Variety OF
foods is, of course, as important al
the, total amount.
Proteins found III lean meats, eggs.
1entils, peas, beans and cheese should
make up about 10 per cent. OF the diet.
Fats found in fat meats. yolk OF eggs,
nuts, cream and butter, and carbohy-
drates found in cereals, bread and GER
tain vegetables Lhould make up tho
rest. A good proportion is 80 per cent.
carbohydrates and so per cent. fats.
One of the most common faults OF
the diet is the eating OF too much pro.
TEN food. In excess, this is hard for
the body to excrete and is likely to de-
. compose ir the intestines with the
formation OF poisonous waste products.
Green vegetables and raw fruit are
Important elements of the diet. There
is little energy in these foods. but they
supply mineral salts which the body
needs and curious substances called vi
