Ship News Encouraging.

: The weeks news contained some en-
couragement as to progress of the ship
building program. Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board told the Senate
investigating committee that Ameri-
can yards this year would build be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons of
shipping. He based this statement on
an estimate furnished him by Lloyd's
The head of one of the country's larg-
est shipbuilding concerns had quoted
1loyd's as reporting that not more than
t,500,000 tons would be built.
The great obstacle to shfpbuilding,
of course. has been the scarcity of ma
terials and labor. Steps were taken
during the week to correct both these
conditions. Arrangements were made
with Director General McAdoo to have
the railroads expedite shipments of
shipbuilding materials. and a start was
made by the government toward pro-
yiding housing accommodations for
Hhipyard workers. The shipping board
agreed to advance 81 1.25o.o80 to the New

May Check Troop Movements.

So critical has become the food short
age in Europe that serious considera-
fion is given to the possibility that it
may interfere with the transport of
American troops to France. The same
tonnage cannot be used for carrying
both troops and food, and the argument
is advanced that 1t is useless to send
American soldiers over there if the
sending of them necessitates the with
drawal of French and British soldiers
from the trenches because there is not
food for them.
Yet the allies are clamoring for
American troops. Winston Churchill,
the British minister of munitions. in a
speech in London Friday begged that
this government send soldiers quickly
and in as large numbers as possible.
Almost at the same time Lord Rhondda
the British food controller, is begging
for wheat and other foodstuffs, and
gives warning that compulsory ration
1ng may be a necessity of the imme-
date future.
The problem is knotty one, no mat
ter from what angle 1t Is viewed. If
uff1cient tonnage was available the
vernment would send both troops
Al lood. and the American people
would have to save to make up the
food deficit. whether they liked 1t or
not. But until the ships are available
the balance between troops and food
will have to be adjusted in whatever
manner appears wisest in the light of
developments from day to day

Appeals to Labor's Loyalty.

Labor, its loyalty and its duties in
time of war. continued to be a fertile
subject of discussion. Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation Of
Labor, than whom the government has
had no stancher supporter, came to the
front with another appeal for the
crushing of autocracy. In a message of
greeting to the delegation Of British
workingmep which is soon to visit the
United States Mr.. Gompers declared
that the recent utterances of President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George re-
garding the war aims of the allies
merely voiced the will and purpose of
the workers of Great Britain and
America.
Another plea for the loyalty Of work
erS was made to the railway men by
Director General McAdoo. He told them
that every railroad officer and every
emp1oye now was in the service of the
United States and that the future safe
ty of the nation depended upon their
loyal and efficient cooperation with the
men who are being sent to the fight
ing front.
Steps were taken during the week
looking to the mobilization Of 1000. 900
men for shipyards. agriculture work
and war contract plants. The task is
intrusted to the employment service
of the Department of Labor and John
B. Densmore. who has been solicitor
of the department, was placed by Sec
retary Wilson at the head of the bu-
reau.

French bombarding pilots have been
busy. Among their most brilliant recent
exploits were two night attacks by entire
squadrons upon the Ludwigshafen dye
factories and two successful raids on the
railroad station Of Freiburg in Breisgau
Baden. In twenty-four hours January 3

Spy System Is Scatched.

The discovery and blocking of an at
tempt to re-establish q comprehensive
system of German espionage and
sabotage in this country has a direct
bearing on war efficiency. Could the
system have been gotten again in
operation under a directing head no one
doubts it would have been able serious
ly to hinder war preparations.
Another step which may be of far
reaching benefit was the selection of
Mai. Gen. Goethals to be director of
transportation and storage of the War
Department. The builder of the Pana-
ma canal is expected to bring order
out of what has been more or less a
chaotic condition and to speed up the
providing and transportation of sup
plies from lack of which the Army has
been suffering.

Food Problem More Acute.

Desperate straits in which Eng
land. France and Italy find themselves
for food was one of the weeks prin-
cipal topics for consideration. 1t was
made plain that they must have more
help from the United States than they
have been receiving. and, as a meas
ure of partial relief Food Administra-
tor Hoover ordered the release for
transport Of additional wheat, although
America already has sent overseas an
amount in excess of last years sur
plus. The deficit will have to be made
up by further economies at home.
A very definite warning was sounded
that savings of food in America have
not been on the scale necessary to the
winning of the war. and legislation is
under consideration to compel econo-
mics and substitutions along certain
lines which the people have failed to
make voluntarily. Compulsory ration
ing was suggested as an inevitable al
Tentative If the people fail to respond
to the food Administrations appeal to
their patriotism. Some further food
legislation is regarded as absolutely
necessary. including the licensing of
retail grocers and the bringing of
hotels and other public eating places
under compulsory observance of con-
Servation regulations.

Spy System Is Scotched.

An event of the week which, while
not strictly a step in Americas prep
arations for war. is closely related to
war activity was the appointment of
Earl Reading. lord chief justice of Eng
land. to be British ambassador at Wash
ington. Lord Reading comes with larger
powers, proba bly,, than any nation
ever before granted to a single envoy.
Not only will he succeed to the diplo-
matte duties of Ambassador Spring
Rice. but he will take over Lord North
cliffe's responsibilities as head of the
British war mission in this country. 1t
Is believed combining the embassy and
the mission Under one head will make

Unraveling Railroad Tangle.

Director General McAdoo made nota-
BILE progress during the week toward
Strengthening out the railroad tangle.
So great was the progress. in fact, that
he was able to announce toward the
end of the week that congestion in the
sast had been relieved to an extent
TO assure that coal now could be kept
moving in quantities sufficient to keep
war industry going and prevent further
extreme suffering. There was danger
.or a time that munitions plants and
%he makers of other necessary war
supplies might have to shut down
through lack of coal.
Preliminary steps were taken In Con-
..ress toward enacting legislation for
financing the railroads along lines pro-
POSED by President Wilson. to the end
hat their war efficiency may be in
creased. No general opposition de-
reloped to the program proposed by
he President. though details of it came
N for criticism. No doubt it expressed

ernment is asking to provide will be
