81 Count on You" Is
Wilson's Word to Farmers;
Knows They Will Do Part

Washington, Feb. .. Delegates
to the Federal Board of Farm Organi-
cations in session here, called on
President Wilson yesterday and urged
that he appoint a commission OF nine
from their number to serve as an in
termediary between the Government
and the farmers in solving agricul-
tural labor and other problems.
The President said that while he
could not answer such an important
memorial offhand, it would receive his
most careful consideration.
The delegation presented memo
rial making various suggestions con-
cerning the handling of farm prob
lens and the exemption of farm labor
from military service. The President
replied;
so important a memorial as this, and
| need not tell you that it will re-
ceive my most careful, respectful at
tention. Many of the questions that
are raised here have been matters of
very deep and constant concern with
us for months past, and l believe that
many of them are approaching as sue
cessful a solution as we can work out
for them, but just what those steps
are I cannot now detail to you. You
are probably familiar with some of
them.
that your utmost effort will depend
upon the acceptance of these sugges-
tIons. | know you are going to do
your level best in any circumstances,
and I count on you with the utmost
confidence in that. There has never
the real quality of folks as this time
is going to test it; because we are
lighting for something bigger than
any mans imagination can grant"

UKRAINIANS SIGN
GERMAN PEACE PACT
TContinued from First Page !

Rada, according to semiofficial ad-
vices from Berlin. This peace, i'm
portant or otherwise as events may
show, is the first to be signed by any
OF the belligerents.
How far the Teutons' plan may
prove successful seems to depend
upon the measure of control the
Rada has over the territory of the So
called Ukrainian republic. which en-
braces rich grain growing lands
Such control is hotly disputed by the
Bolsheviki, who recently disowned
the Rada's delegates as Bourgeois
when they were found treating Sc
cretly with the central powers, and
named delegates of their own.
The Germans and Austrians, how
ever continued to treat with the
Rada's representatives
Both Bolsheviki and Rada have
been claiming military successes
against each other in the Ukraine.
Apparently the Germans feel none
too sure that the Rada will triumph
unassisted, however, as the sugges-
ton has recently come from German
sources that the Rumanians would
do we'll to join forces with the
Ukrainians against the Bolsheviki.
Rumania, it was pointed out could
obtain compensation for the loss of
Dobrudja to the Bulgarians by TAX
ing over Bessarabian territory from
the Russians.
Although the early advices regard
ing the signing of the agreement said
nothing about the terms, ii had been
previously reported that the Ukrain-
ians were. offered a section of Rus
sian Poland as an inducement for
them to make peace.

DUMMY CONCERN
GOT HOG ISLAND
SHIP CONTRACT
Senate Learns Company in
Charge Was Organized After
Acceptance of the Bid

Washington. Feb. 9.-Revelations
poured forth in volume at yesterdays
session of the Senate Commerce
Committee. investigating the Hog Is
land shipyard and shipbuilding con-
tract, involving more than S200,000.-
600, let by the Emergency Fleet Cor
pcration to the American Interna-
tional Corporation.
The witness before the committee
was Commander Paul L. Reed, U. S.
~, assigned by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation to supervise for the Gov
ernment the operations of the con-
tracing organization at Hog Island.
Some of the facts developed by the
committee in the examination of
Commander Reed are:
The contract was not let to the
American International Shipbuilding
Corporation at all, but to the Amer
ioan International Corporation. De-
spite this fact, it is the American
International Shipbuilding Corpora
tion executives who are directing
the work. The latter corporation
was not in existence at the time the
contract was signed by the officers
of the American International in
September, but was organized sub
sequently for the specific purpose of
assuming the job. "dummyi COM
pany." it was. according to the COM
ment of Senator Nelson. of Mime
sofa.
Estimates Not Questioned
The estimates as to the cost of the
vast operations at Hog Island were
made entirely by officers of the
American International. They were
not checked over by officers of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. The
contractor was permitted to draw his
own specifications and say what the
job would cost, and his word was
taken by the Government represent
atives. So incredible did this adj
mission by Commander Reed seem
that Senator Johnson repeated and
repeated his questions in order to as
certain if a mistake had not been
made, but Commander Reed held fast
to his assertion.
None of the fifty shipways con-
tracted to be built at Hog Island is
completed and the cost is piling up
every day, so that the estimated cost
of 21.O00,00O will run TO nearly $780,
100000, it was indicated. Only five
ways are near ready for the con-
struction of ships. Twelve ways
have not yet been started and the
remainder are in various stages of
completion. Eighteen are to be
abandoned

P. R. R. Stock Is Voted

Philadelphia, Feb. BY an over
whelming vote of 332,077 to 47,271
the stockholders of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company authorized
the board of directors yesterday to

This leaves only the approval Of
the Public Service Commission to be
obtained to end the long wrangle
over the operation of the city-built
system. No time will be lost in carry
ing the agreement before the state
body, it was said. and little opposi-
ton to its approval is anticipated.
The stockholders meeting was
held at the company's off at Eighth
and Dauphin streets. About fifty
persons were present, and William
NJ. Coates acted as chairman L.
James Fernley introduced a resolu-
ton recommending the adoption of
the lease and suggested a recess
while the proxies were being count
ed. After the recess the meeting
adjourned.
