NEED $5O,OOO,OOO
FOR BUILDING OF
CONCRETE SHIPS
10 Ask Big Appropriation by
Congress For Expert
mental Program

Washington. April 9.-An appro-
1'riation of s5o,ooo,O00 will be asked
CT Congress within few days TO
enable the United states Shipping
Ioard to carry OUT an experimental
program with concrete ships.
The shipping Board plans. if the
} appropriation is granted. to con-
struct five additional yards, three
along the south Atlantic coast and
TWO on the Pacific, for the construc-
tion of concrete ships to be used as
tunkcrs in the coastwise trade and
lor naval purposes.
1t has been made plain by officials
of the Shipping Board that the work
viii be in the nature of an expert
lEent. for which Congress can grant
the money or not as it chooses. Re-
ports which have been received from
the concrete ship recently launched
en- the Pacific coast have convinced
the officials that such vessels are
practicable. but they wish to build
some on their own account for fur
ther tests.
L. j. Wigs of the shipping Board.
has prepared plans for 5.50O-ton
concrete tanker that have been ap-
proved by all experts to whom they
We're submitted and it Is estimated
that construction would be begun
within a short time after Congress
has granted the appropriation.
Cost estimates that have been
v orked out show that the cost Of
constructing a concrete huh is from
so to $50 ton cheaper than for
either wood or steel while the cost
of engines and boilers would be the
same for all classes.

HIGH POINTS
TOUCHED AT
GREAT RALLY

HERE are the thrusts from
the speeches of Lieutenant
Pat O'Brien and the Rev.
DR.. Robert Bagnell that made
three thousand people cheer like
mad last night at the Chestnut
street Auditorium.
Don't think we are lighting
only the Kaiser; we are fighting
every man, woman and child in
Germany.
Wait until the long casualty
lists come. bearing the name of
your brother. sweetheart or friend
you'll hate the Germans, too.
In Germany they hate the
Americans and call them mur-
derers for fighting with the allies
before our entrance into the war.
I'd sooner ride in cattle car
with hogs than in a prison car
with German guards.
Wherever there is regi-
ment of Americans in the allied
line. there the Germans will find
a wall OF adamant.
When the Germans told me
we couldn't get 250.000 troops to
France, | told them their ship,
the Waterland. would have to
make only Il few trips to get that
many over. The first thing | saw
in England was the Vaterland
loaded with American troops.
If the allies had been prepar-
ing for this war for forty years.
rs tho Germans have, something
would have happened long ago.
We ought to boycott traders
who are not loyal to the United
States, and run them out of, the
country.
