SCHWAB SPURS UP
SHIPYARDS
More Pep Needed to
Equal Western Construc-
tion, He Asserts
81 TYPES OF SHIPS
ON NATIONS WAYS

WASHINGTON, Aug. i5-InformatIon
on the governments war requirements
for the next six months, revealed to
Charles NJ Schwab In Washington, has
done much to strengthen his conyic-
ton that eastern shipyards must be
speeded up TO match western construc-
tion.
This will be the message the director
general of the Emergency Fleet Corpor-
alton will deliver 10 the shipbuilders
Of the nation when they meet in Phil
adelphia next Tuesday. The eastern
builders will be told that failure OF
the eastern yards TO equal the con
stfuctiOn record of their western
brethren may seriously impede the gov
ernment's program.
The shipping board announced today
that a committee, headed by Mr..
Schwab, had peen appointed to fix
standards for steel ships to be con-
structed in The future. Associated with
Mr.. Schwab on this committee are J.
5. ROsseter, newly appointed chief OF
the division OF operations Of the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation, and p. A. 5.
Franklin, chairman Of the ship control
committee Of the shipping board.
10 Is understood that ninety-One types
OF steel ships have been completed or
built by the shipping board or are on
board ways at present, a sltua-
ton due TO the fact that when the gov
took control Of shipbuilding
Il found various types OF vessels in the
course Of completion or already plan
ned.
II will be the duty Of the new COM
nittee TO determine upon a few stand
,rd types and the boards program OF
'uture construction will be confined TO |
hese types.
10 was also announced that the board |
will build twenty large vessels Of an
,re-carrying type TO be used especially |
or the transportation Of locomotives |
nd lnotortrucks for the use Of the
rmies in France.
The boats will be modelled after the /
built by Mr. Schwab some
ime ago for the Cuban ore trade.
'hese vessels with the cOmmodiOus
olds and matches, were pressed into
service some time back and
roved a great success in transport
lg heavy machinery.
IL was said today that one vessel
lone carried thirty-fve military type /
locomotives and 250 motortrucks which
'ere taken aboard without being dis
lantled.

CAFES DROP ICED TEA.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. t5.-Iced tea
has been eliminated from the menus Of
many restaurants throughout the city
because Of their inability 10 get suf-
flcicnt quantities Of fee.
Serving Of iced fruits and other
dishes containing cracked ice also has
been curtailed. Ice cream Is being
manufactured in small quantities in
many shops and in several instances
small dealers have been forced 20
close down entirely because no ice can
be obtained.
Soda fountains are feeling the effects
of the limited quantities OF ice that
are being delivered. The refreshing
drinks that help TO make the hot
"stlcky" days almost endurable are be-
Ing served cold, but minus the usual
spoonful" Of cracked ice.
This condition is rot due to any lack
of ice in this city, but to the inability
OF the ice companies to obtain sufll-
cient fsbor TO make deliveries.
