GREAT STEEL FLEET
THOUSAND OR MORE AMERICAN
STEEL MERCHANTMEN.
General George Goethals Tells Iron
Kings That They Must Prepare to
Furnish Vast Quantity Of Product
Win Which 10 Build Vessels.

New York. May 26.-The ships that
the American government vii build 10
beat the German submarine and carry
supplies to our European allies will
be constructed Of steel instead Of wood
and the men who control the output Of
iron and steel in this country have
given their pledge to Major General
George w. GOethals 10 furnish the acc
essary materials. Informal confer
ence was expected to be held here
today by the iron and steel manufac-
turers.
General Goethals' appeal for the co.
operation Of iron and steel manufac-
turers found an enthusiastic and patri.
otic response at the annual dinner Jf
the American Iron and Steel Institute
last night, after he had told them that
the proposal to build one thousand
3,OOO,ton wooden ships in eighteen
months lis simply hopeless"
General Goethals emphasized the
fact that no small task had been un.
dertaken. He informed the steel men
with emphasis that the job would re-
Quire the rapid manufacture Of tre-
mendous quantities Of structural forms
as well as the material going to make
the hulls OF the vessels
There would be plenty Of work for
the fabricating mills, too, Colonel Goe-
thals said, and it was at this point
that the members OF the institute leap
ed to their feet to pledge the full re.
sources of their plants to the work
of the shipping board.

THE OLD FARM.

When the busy day with its anxious hopes and fears
the telephone stops ringing and the last clerk disappears
With sigh lean back weary in swinging office chair
And my thoughts go back childhood and the old farm that
is there
can see dear old broad and low trees
And the rows Of shining milk pans summing in the fresh
sweet breeze;
can see the barn and horses and the orchard the hill
Where we gathered golden pppns for the old straw mill
can upland pastures spotted with grazing sheep
And the wheat waving golden ready for the to reap
can fences where the chpmunks used to play
And the coned and the meadow with its piles of fragrant hay
can see cattle standing meath the willows by the brook
Where used fish for minnows with bent pin for hook
And the pond grew the lilies mother used to prize
All the light shining within those dear old eyes
And sigh while fancy fingers Ger each weknowu pleasant
Of the happy days bohood thrown by on the SCREEN
And I'd give all have gained there all wealth and treas
ures rare,
To 90 back again childhood and the old home that is there
