MUST HAVE Ships
TO WIN THE WAR
Capt. W. H. Stayton. Retired
Naval Officer, Tells Work.
ers TO Wake Up
BOYS OVER THERE
MUST HAVE FOOD

Declaring that unless every man, wo-
man and child in this country wakes
up TO the necessary OF ships, ships and
then more ships. and then gets back OF
the shipping board the country will be
sending ifs boys "over there" In vain,
Captain w. II. stayton. OF the United
states Navy, retired. made touching
appeal 10 the members OF the Chamber
Of Commerce at their luncheon today
urging their wholehearted support IN
the shipping program.
Every ship sent over means that more
shells and more food must go 70 sup
port the boys In the trenches and every
act that tends TO retard the shipping
program resolves itself into allowing a
soldier 10 die without having an oppor-
tunity TO fght because Of the lack OF
shells.
Captain Stayton. who Is the executive
secretary Of the Navy League Of Amer
ica, had some interesting although not
very encouraging statistics, 10 show
with reference TO the preparedness OF
this country TO meet the foe on the
the high seas. Admitting that he was
presenting the darker side OF the pic
ture. he nevertheless urged that the
nation 10 look the facts in the face in
stead OF camouflaglng them with prom
ises and general optimism. lie pointed
out that when this country entered
the war there were only 2i coal colliers
instead Of the 3O7 which were neces-
sary 10 maintain the American navy in
European waters and that therefore the
American navy is not In Europe ready
to fight the foe but is somewhere in
this country guarding against the sub
marines
ITS time" said the speaker. that
the American people wake up and real
lie the importance OF the navy.
''You taxpayers" nc continued, have
not listened 10 us when we told you 10
prepare. You are now suffering the
consequences We need ships for two
purposes. We need them as an aux
iliary TO the navy and as supply car
riers to the army now in France. He
then supplemented his statements with
Official figures that no battleship can
go "over there" alone but that it must
depend on coal carriers for its triI
and that unless we have sufficient ship:
built we viii not have our navy where
Il is needed most. We must have Is.
100000 tons built during this year. The
task can be accomplished II we get be
hind the ship building program" z
Previous TO his address. William 3
Megesr, president OF the Chamber, an
nounced the addition Of seyenty-nin
members 10 the membership OF tn

Shorter Skirts FOR
WOMEN, WAR ORDER
Simple Clothing for Fair Sex
Next Step Toward
Conservation
PREDICT SAVING
OF $1,000, 900, 900

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June i9.-Sim-
pier clothes for women is the next step
to be taken 10 conserve materials used
in wearing apparel Hopes are high
that one or two billion dollars will be
saved In this way toward financing the
war.
Simple uniforms are urged for all
women engaged In the various branches
Of war activity and. If possible. for a
large number of other women Frills
are doomed. Surplus pockets will be
eliminated. Pleatings and rules will
be made unpopular and several yards
per outflt saved. SkirtsP They viii
be shorter when advisable, and stock
ings, in winter Will be heavier
Leading women are giving the matter
careful study with a view 10 supple
menting regulations already promul-
gated as 10 shoes and mems clothing.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman OF
the Womens Committee OF the Coun-
Gil Of National Defense, Is In sympathy
with the movement. She makes the
following suggestions:
"i-Women should economize by buy
ing fewer clothes.
"2-They should economize by buy
ing simpler and more durable clothes.
"3-They should take the material
they already have on hand and make
Il over into new garments or into other
articles for household use.
"4-All that we can save by these
economies should go toward buying gov
ernment securities"
Mrs. George Bass, secretary Of the
Noman's Liberty Loan Committee, has
a similar idea of divertlng a big part
Of the expenditure for women's raj
ment TO war bonds.
There is a tendency developing she
said, ION the part of all women in vsrl-
Gus committees for war work 10 use a
uniform. 1t Is In the interest OF econ
omy. The uniform might be extended.
There Is no reason why women
should not buy their clothes at a mod
crate price.
1T would be impossible TO design
clothes for all women. Some are tall,
others are short; but IL would be pos
slble to have much more simplicity.
Then there Is another side. The war
is making heavier demands on the tall
oring shops. II the tailors are drafted
into service these shops VIII welcome
simpler styles.
Fewer pockets might be had, but, OF
course, they have few pockets nowadays,
and a great number OF other changes
made that would be saving"

The creed Of the International Bible

witness. as expOunded by its founder In
his writings follows:
"The fundamental doctrine Of the J..

Christ, who faced death for every man.
Man was created perfect, but fell and
his sin fell on every man. God prom
ssed In the course OF time Jesus, who
would be transferred from the spirit to

Rutherford added that since Pente-

Questioned on his attitude toward the
draft, Rutherford said he considered
that IL was up TO the local board TO find
out II a conscientious obiector was "a
consecrated Christian" Personally. he
could tell one Of this type in less than
five minutes by talking to him OF read
iLg his letters. The spirit OF the Scrip
lures pervaded" such ones language.
He was positive he never had given ad-
/ vice TO any one concerning his obliga-
tions toward the draft. except those
who were members Of the international
Bible Students Association And even
then he had no intention Of interfering
with the Govermets war preparations.
Robert j. Martin, auditor Of the Wstch
Tower Bible and Tract Society, an

that for him to go to war would mean

was willing 20 do non-combatant ser

court 'you are willing to do indirectly

Piled the witness.
The defense suffered a hard blow
when Judge Howe ruled that under a
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court religious beliefs do not absolye
person from responsibility Of crime
committed in pursuance OF his felis-
ious vows.
This will be the rule OF the court In
charging the jury" emphasized Judge
Howe.
The trial will be resumed this morn
