Ship Construction Delay
ed On Account OF
Non--Rece:pt Of Large
Timbers
James 0. Heyworih Says The
Southern Lumber Manu-
facturers Are To Blame
For This Condition
By PGut U'ootou
Times Picayune Staff Rep.

Washington. Feb. o5.-Buildiug of
slips on the gulf coast has been DELAYED
full two months, due TO the fact that
the builders have not been supplied with
the necessary large tilnbers for the
ships frames. James Q. Heyworth, the
manager Of wood ship construction for
the Emergency Fleet Corporation Of the
United States Shipping Boar, is inclined
to lay most of the blame for this condi-
tion at the door of Southern lumber
manufacturers. Mr.. Heyworth has Just
returned to Washington after having
made a personal inspection of practi-
cally all of the shipyards along the gulf.
Shipbuilders are being overwhelmed.
Mr.. Heyworth says, with the smaller
sizes of timbers, most of which cannot
be utilized until the frames will have
been built. Delay to the frames also is
having the effect of making it impossl-
BILE to utilize labor, which is being
drawn away to yards in other parts Of
the country. Comparatively few men
can work on frame. Once the frame
is completed and the subsequent coa-
struction begun, much larger number
of workmen can be employed.
The fact that the big timbers have not
been furnished is not due to the fact
that trees large enough from which to
cut them do not exist. Mr.. Hevworth
has caused to be sent out large num-
Ter of lumber cruisers to make ac: asl
measurements Of trees Of sufficient size
to furnish the larger .imbers which 20
into wooden ships.
In two Southern states alone these
cruisers actually calipered nearly 4o0,-
900 trees of sufficient size to provide
large timbers. These trees were found
on the properties Of twenty-five owners.
At a number of points Mr.. Heyworth has
caused to be sent out special logging
gangs to bring in trees of sufficient
size to secure some of the much needed
large timhers. Mr. Heyworth states that
Re regrets very much to have accumu-
lated indisputable evidence on his trip
that most of the logging operations in
such way as will speed the shipbuiding
program to the maximum.

Parish Committee For
The Food Adnilistra-
ton Has Been Chos-
en-
The Work Of The Administra-
ton In The Parish To Be
Along Tw, Lines: Conser-
yation Of Food And Pro-
duction of Food

The Parish Committee in St. Mar!
for the Food Administration has beer
organized and instructions given by
Parish Food Administrator r. f. Brum
by. The work of the Administration il
the parish has not yet been definitely
outlined but Mr. Brumby states that
this work will likely fall under two
heads; namely, the conservation Of food
and the production of food.
The conservation head will be divided
into two branches; one Of which will
relate to the work to be done in the
homes and the other with work to be
done with the public.
Since the work of conservation in the
homes will devolve upon the women, this
branch will be handled by them. Ac-
cordingly The Women s Council Of De-
fense has appointed committee Of la
dies who will cooperate with the Food
Administration wherever needed but es-
pecially in the home work. For the
present this committee will engage them
selves with the distribution Of certain
foods and giving for the public use
tested receipts in which the main in
gradients are corn meal and oat meal.
The conservation work Of the men will
include such problems as the proper
methods Of selling such foods as are or
dered by the Federal government to be
protected. This list as every one should
know by now includes wheat bread,
meats, fats, flour and cereals.
Mr.. Brumby suggests that the bakers
in each ward should agree to voluntarily
cease the making or selling Of wheat
bread on Mondays and Wednesdays. Al
so starting today that they will agree
to substitute in all wheat bread 20 per
cent. corn meal, potatoes, rice, and etc.
The butchers likewise will be asked to
establish the rules which in nearly every
case has been voluntarily observed, that
on Tuesdays and Fridays beef and pork
will not be sold and on Saturday to
pork.
The grocery stores should adopt q
method Of selling ceerals with flour.
The customer purchasing should take an
equal amount by weight Of cereals. II
he is grinding his own corn at mill, hs
should satisfy the storekeeper that he
is using the meal so obtained.
The following citizens Of St. Mary
parish have been appointed by Mr.
Brumby to serve in an organization to
.he Food Administration:

THE WORK OF THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB.

The record breaking attendance at
the Fourth of July celebration on the
Fair Grounds this year was literally
and favorably commented upon by
people from every section of the coun-
ty, and by many who came here from
far beyond our county lines. The
Manchester Commercial club was gen
erously praised for the improvement
of the grounds during the past year
Aided by these improvements the
committee was able to conveniently
entertain the largest number OF peo-
ple that ever assembled at one place
in the county.
A prominent farmer, who resides
more than dozen miles from Man
chester was heard to say, IF the Man
chester Commercial club has not done
anything more than improve these
Fair Grounds, it has fully justified its
existence" And similar remarks were
INDUCED in quite generally. The peo-
ple of the entire county are taking
more interest than ever before in the
Fair Grounds. The automobile has
brought them within half hours ride
of nearly every home in the county.

MAYOR HARM, OF BLOOMFIELD,
NEBRASKA.

Nearly all of our editorial space
this week is devoted to the reproduc-
ton of a speech recently delivered by
Mayor William Harm, Of Bloomfield,
Nebraska. This speech by the mayor OF
a little, comparatively unknown, west
ern city easily ranks among one OF
the best war speeches that has been
delivered by anyone in any part OF
the country
Mayor Harms speech fits into the
lives, and voices in truthful words, the
hopes and desires of Americans of
German birth or descent. This speech
is being published far and wide, and
we trust that it will be read by every
subscriber of this paper, and that ev-
cry subscriber loan his paper to some
one who is not subscriber and call
attention to the speech

ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH
nay OF GREATEST OF BATTLES.

The great German drive, Whlch
commenced on the 21st of last March
has made no progress during the past
week. On the contrary, the Allies have
been striking back at widely separat-
ed places, and gaining ground ana
taking prisoners nearly every day.
This seems to be the tactics OF the
opposing forces: The German COM
mander assemblies about half mil
lion men at given place, FORCES them
into an attacking force and continues
to throw them against the Allied lines
until they are so badly shattered that
it is not possible for them to continue
their thrusts. In this way some gains
are made at frightful expenditure OF
human life. Half million men fore
ed to attack in solid formation, and
continue their attacks, is bound 10
make dent in any line.
But the German commander cannot
mass 100000 at particular point
without weakening his lines at many
points. The Allied commander has
been taking advantage of this fact.
He knows that the enemy is assemb-
ling another hoard for renewed
thrust and wherever he finds weak
spot in the enemy's line he strikes
at that place and usually gains
ground and captures number OF men
And this strategy makes the assemb'
ling OF a large force at one place
more hazardous and difficult.
Several weeks ago German prison
ers declared that Won Hindenburg was
dead. but their statements were moi
believed by very many. Since then
however, he has not been mentioned
in German war dispatches, and thai
warrants the belief that something
has happened to him. The commander

kaiser on account of his growing
popularity The insane Hohenzollerr
may have formed dislike to Vol

An interesting little creature of the
deep is the lencelet. 1t ranks about
halfway between fish and an in

and is surrounded by tentacles. AT
