EXCEED SHIP PROGRAM
Yards Launch More Vessels
Than Planned in March.
Fall Behind in Number Completed,
Due to Difficulty in Obtaining
Steel Plates.

Washington, April 1.-The ship
ping board has exceeded its launching
program in March by $4,000 tons, but
iell behind in its schedule of complet-
ed ships, owing to difficulty in OBJ
tanning steel plates.
Figures given out at the boards Of
fees showed that 36 ships of 272.7S6
tons were launched and 20 of 162, 900
tons were completed and delivered.
At the beginning of the month IL
was announced that it was hoped to
launch 35 ships of 220,591 tons during
March and to deliver % ships of 1885,
275 tons.
Allied ureines Met.
Allied urgings for more American
troops Immediately are being met by
conversion of few cargo craft into
troop transports and by added pres
scure on shipyards to increase their
| output.
! A few American ships, previously In
the merchant marine, are being fitted
at ports to accommodate troops and
survey of Dutch requisitioned ships
| indicate that a few of them will be
available for troops. The additional
manpower gained from these two
sources, however, will be extremely
small, army and navy authorities said
Developed to Capacity.
The maximum troop carrying ca
pacity has been developed with ships
at Americas disposal, 1t was stated
and the only answer now to any con
siderable increase of men Is more
ships The merchant marine is taxed
to capacity in carrying food and sup
plies.
The refitting of the few cargo ships
as troop ships was started before the
west front offensive began.
Shows Need OF Speed.
President Wilson Is understood u
have impressed upon officials OF tn
shipping board the need for develop
ing more action. This need wa
brought home to Hurley some week
ago by General Peyton March at tn
time when the war and navy depart
ments were accomplishing space econ
: omies and developing extra spec
from available ships.
Labor Problem Main Factor.
Government officials suggest tha
the labor problem is now. the maii
factor Labor, they say, ought to b
stimulated to added efforts and ques
tions of pay should be adjusted with
!. out strikes.
Thus far, some point out. there ha
y been little effort to inspire the labol
t ing man with the seriousness OF tn
I task before him.

Extends Draft to All Youths
Reaching Age Of Twenty
one Since Last June.
WILL ADD 100000 men
Project to Train All Boys Over Nine
teen Years OF Ace Meets With
Defeat-Now Goes to Lower
House.

Washington, April 1.-THE Sen
ate, after futile attempt to add to
1t a provision for training youths
from 10 to 81 years old, has passed
the resolution extending the selective
draft to men reaching the age of q
years since June s., 1917, the first
registration day.
1t is estimated that about 100000
men will be added to the registra-
ton this year by tie resolution,
which is one CT the pieces of legis-
lation on which the War department
is waiting before announcing com.
plete plans for the next draft. 1t
now goes to the House with the bill
to base draft quotas on the number
of registrants in Class / instead of on
population, another administration
measure already passed by the Sen
ate.
Training Proposal Defeated.
The proposal to require training
of boys over 10 and under registra
tion age was an amendment by Sena
tor New of Indiana, which the Senate
rejected, SO to 26, after a debate o.
several days. A number of senators
who favor universal military training
as a peacetime policy voted against
the amendment.
AS adopted, the resolution provides
that all male citizens Of the Unitet
States in this country, attaining thei
majority since Jure 5, last, shall b.
subject to registration, under regula
tions prescribed by the President
shall present themselves for regis
tration on a day proclaimed by tn
BILE to military service.
There was no opposition to tn
resolution itself, the only controvers.
being over the new amendment.

Renew Attacks in Montdidier
Region Where Wedge is Near
est French Capital.
CANADIANS Open FIRE
Pour Delugs Of Artillery Fire into tho
German Positions for Ten Hours
Enemy Reported digging In" :.
North Of Albert.

Canadian Army Headquarters, March
1.-The noise of the guns has been
persistent upon the whole front from
the south to Hill 10 in the north.
Steadily for more than 10 hours our
heaviest field guns, trench mortars
and machine guns maintained their
fire on thousands of yards Of front
against the enemy trenches.
Our artillery fire has increased to
battle intensity and concentration
areas and communicating roads being
raked with creeping barrages. The
intensity and duration Of the fire was
such that no enemy attack developed
north of Oppy.
Germans Renew Attacks.
The Germans have renewed their
powerful attacks in the Montdidier
region where their wedge had been
pushed furthest toward Paris and a
great battle is raging along 25 mile
front on both sides the salient which
has Montdidier as its point. The
French backed up by powerful re-
serves, are offering desperate re-
sistance to the German blow.
Apparently the French line has been
forced back slightly on the northern
edge of this front as the Paris Off.
cial report of the battle mentions the
of the line here. This place is about
IL miles southeast OF Amfens.
British Front Unchanged.
On the southerly side of the salient
the battle Is raging to a point beyond
Lassigny, which lies some IA miles
east of Montdidier. There is no in.
dication of any change along this part
OF the front.
To the north along the British
front the situation Is virtually un
changed. At only one point just about
where the French and British lines
Join did the Iermans make any ad
vance, pushing short distance ur
tha Roye-Amiens road in the direc
ton of the latter place and occupy
ing the village of Mezieres and the
hamlet of Maison Blanche, just to the
north.
Heavy attacks on Demuin, little
further north, were beaten off. Tt
the north of the Somme there wa'
only local fighting.
Germans Digging In
A report that the Germans are dig
ging themselves In between Thiepva
and La Boisselle in the region nortl
OF Albert. may be significant. Th
possibility suggests itself that, faile'
in their attempt to drive a wedg
between the French and British arm
les or effect break In the Allie,
line, the Germans may be making a.
attempt to re-establish their trencl
lines on the basis OF their presen
advance either for defensive purpose
,r for another plunge into Entent
territory. The line OF reported er
trenchment, however, is only httl
more than three miles in length an
at present the move Is most hkel
to be Judged as local measure fo
protection of the town Of Albert.

order was issued by direction of
Herbert C. Hoover, and is to be put
