NEW WEST POINT

DREAM OF BAKER

Secretary Of War Baker hopes that
Camp Humphreys. seventeen miles
south or this city and I'VE miles in
land from Accotink. on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road. may. after the war. be con-
veTted into a permanent post-gradu-
ate engineering school for the army
as an adjunct to West Point The
plan was disclosed by the Secretary
in an address at the nag raising cere-
monil at Camp Humphreys yesterday.
Secretary Baker said:
An army must have always a
strong engineer corps. 1t Is the
means whereby the army will have
placed at its disposal the highest and
most useful innovations and will be
able with the most safety to itself
to successfully maintain its continued
course. ..
Favor Permanent school.
west Point has always been a
school noted for its engineering fac
ulty. and yet the modern art OF war
teaches us that we must go beyond
that, and 1 must reveal a great secret
by telling you that one OF the dreams
! have after this war Is over and these
grounds are converted is to see built
at this place a permanent post-grad-
uate engineer educational institution
Of the army. This place Is admirably
suited and adapted to such a use"
Secretary Baker described for the
benefit OF the 1900 engineers as
sembled for the flag raising. the
splendid work done by the army en-
gineers now in France. He told par
ticularly OF the gallant conduct dur
ing the second battle OF Cambria,
when these brave lads dropped their
picks. shovels, transits. and chains
and took up their rifles to aid the
British in repelling the vicious Ger
man charge.
Tells of Great Feat.
The Secretary also told the boys OF
the great engineering feat accom-
plished by the Americans. stating

Comittee on Public Information.
Responding to a request for an inquiry
by Chairman George Creel, Frank p. Glass
president OF the American Newspaper
Publishers Association. has announced
he will appoint a committee "Of repre-

At the same time. Glass disavowed for
the association the disloyalty charge Of

Glass said. could not have had any wish
to imply that his utterances were to be

ton"
The following letter was addressed TO
Creel:
"As the successor OF Mr.. Rogers in
the presidency OF the association, I
do not think I have any function in
replying to your structures upon his
recent criticism. l do not believe that

An Important Lesson.
Nevertheless, 1 am impressed with
an important lesson OF the incident,

more thorough knowledge on the

that such a knowledge would be most
beneficial to the country, and espe-

TOBACCO GROWERS
 ID GET 1HE COIN

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico-Tobacco planters who have held their crops to the present time in all probability will get as much for it as the high prices realized last year when prices made a new high record for Porto Rico.
 Tobacco buyers have suddenly realized that the crop which origi- nally they expected would be the largest in the history of the island had suddenly shrunk and that in- stead of being 35,OO,OOO or 4O,OOO,- 900 pounds, it is not now estimated to exceed 25,OOO,OOO pounds.
 Prices have been advancing so that good many buyers now figure that purchases made during the past have been on a basis which will make the price as high if not higher than last years crop, which aver aged in many instances more than 40 cents a pound or more.

SHIPPING IN WAR TIME

Every six minutes merchant vessel arrives and another departs from American ports. From North Atlantic seaports, there is depar- ture every eleven minutes; and one for Europe every forty minutes. This rate of operation does not in- clude vessels in the service of the army or navy.
 The merchant fleet of 1,500 ships under the control of the Shipping Board are run as railroads on a time schedule. The duty of meas uring ships performances with their task is lodged with the Planning and Statistics Division of the Ship ping Board, headed by E. H. Gay, formerly dean of the Harvard Grad uate School of Business.
 Obviously, says an Associated Press correspondent, writing from the national capital, the division must know the tasks in detail, and so it co-ordinates with the War Industries and War Trade Boards in determining and providing for the countrys needs from abroad. It works on month to month schedules or as far in advance as it is feasible or possible to forecast.
 In planning the use of ships, the division works with the Food Ad- ministration in determining the ship ping requirements for food; with the war department in correlating shipping with the requirements of the line of supplies to the Western front; with the War Industries Board in seeking solution of the problem of bringing necessary raw imorts into the country; and with the War Trade Board in preparing the lists of essential imports and exports.
 As the country has gone more and more on war basis, it has been regarded necessary to limit the list of essential imports to less than a hundred. Data on the ships and their trade provides the basis for operation of the vessels under the Shipping Boards control. Likewise. records are kept of neutral vessels
The Nenana daily news., 1918-09-07

coming to this country or linking up with its foreign trade. Thus the division checks daily about 1000 vessels, 1900 of them being those of the Shipping Board, 5000 en- gagged directly in American com merce and 2,5O0 scattered over the globe and trading for the most part with the Allies or their colonies. Roughly, one-fourth of the merchant ships of the world are watched by the Shipping Board.
 Ship performances against tasks are recorded by progress charts, :" which show at a glance what the vessels have to do and how they are doing it. Each set of charts is di- vided into ten divisions-one each for movements of vessels, turn grounds, ship charts of commodities, individual commodity charts, sum- mary of imports, individual trades, summary of trades, ship charts of exports, performances in ports. and dock performances. Copies are dis tributed every ten days to govern ments which require constant in- | formation about the movement of supplies.
 By these movement charts. all in- formation regarding locations and movements of vessels is accessible. and from past records one may forecast the time of future voyages.
 The summary of shipping and trade, prepared every ten days for the War Industries and War Trade Boards and the Food Administration help shape the larger policies under lying the use of American ships in war time. The charts tell whether the ships allotted to certain trade are enough, too many or too few; whether they bring in too little, or too much; whether they are on time, ahead of time or behind time; and whether the trade movement is too slow, too fast or just right. The charts also serve to guide the Ship Control committee in the assign ment of vessels to various trades. By comparing import requirements against deliveries, the charts show when Iassels may be transferred from one trade to another or re- leased to the army.

ENGLAND SHOWS
 BIG INTEREST IN
 GEC WASHINGTON

NORTHAMPTON, England. - American participation in the war has greatly stimulated interest in the historic landmarks near North ampton, which are associated with the English Washingtons, the an- cestors of George Washington. On both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, Anglo-American pilgrims to these places were informed that a new Washington landmark had been discovered within the previous few weeks-the site of a windmill which the Washington family operated as bushes venture for several years during the sixteenth century.
 "It is we'll known," said Earl Spencer, chairman of the Anglo American Peace Centenary commit tee, "that the Washingtons were millers at one time, but the site of the mill had completely disappeared and no one knows where it was To- cated. Recently, however, the site has been discovered-a small de- pression on the road leading from Brighton to Fibre, where excava- tions are expected to reveal the foundations of the old Washington windmill. The site has been marked and will be cared for henceforward. '"
 The celebration of the Fourth of July in the Washington district was centered at Althorp House, where the great-great grandfather of George Washington was frequent visitor. Althorp House is the off cial residence of Earl Spencer, who owns more than forty square miles of the surrounding country, lnclud- ing many of the important Wash ington landmarks. His house is a museum of Washington relics, in- cluding a huge Washington money chest of oak and iron, and the Washington sun-dial bearing the coat of arms from which the Stars and Stripes were derived.
 The Independence Day celebration at Althorp House included the pro- duction of moving-picture film of scenes from the Washington land marks, with addresses by American and English speakers. Earl Spencer spoke of the presentation of the old Washington home, Sulgrave Manor, to the nation as an international memorial.
