WOULD LOCATE A
CONCRETE SHIP
PLANT IN BAY co.

Tallahassee, Fla. May 7-(Special)-
The North Florida Chamber Of Com
merce is bending every effort to secure
one of the concrete shipbuilding plants
for St. Andrews, Florida. The United
States shipping board emergency fleet
corporation, OF Washington, has writ
ten the Tallahassee headquarters that
engineers will visit the site some time
during the coming week. Several field
parties are out collecting data on all
sites suggested, and on their return to
Washington, will give full consideration
to every site.
The gulf coast of Florida offers ideal
conditions for building concrete and
other kinds OF ships, and st. Andrews
Bay could readily accommodate the
United States fleet. as it is sixty-five
miles long and very wide. There is "a
feet OF water on the bar, and due to
its typographical location, the bay is

Washington, May director Nc
Adoo will announce soon his decision
on recommendations to the railroad
wage commission, which are said in
well-informed quarters to propose a 20
per cent advance in wages to all classes
of railroad employees. Approximately
two hundred and sixty millions will be
added to pay rolls of the nations rail-
roads if the commissions suggestions
are followed.
Strong pressure is said to have been
brought to bear on the director gen.
eral to modify some of the commissions
recommendations, especially that af-
fecting the four great brotherhoods.
The commission as followed an an
nounced policy of giving the highest
paid unions the lowest rate of advance,
holding that relief is needed most by
men who have been barely making
both ends meet, or perhaps going into
debt on the wages received.
Apparently none of the commits
sion's recommendations met the re-
quests OF the unions themselves,
which ranged as high as forty, fifty
and sixty per cent.
Already there is dissatisfaction said
to have been voiced by unions which

Another Day Has Passed With

Offensive.
AMERICANS IN
BATH SHELL FIRE
Third Anniversary of Sinking of
Lusitania Is Recalled in
Newspapers.
Associated Press summary.

Still another day has passed without
the Germans starting any new phase OF
their western front offensive. Every
where along the line there has beer
artillery duels, these at some points
intense, but nowhere have there been
infantry operations which arose in inn
portance above raids.
French Premier Clemenceau. return
ing from the battlefront, stated the
American troops are continuing to ar
rive in the battle zone in force.
Considerable political turmoil has
arisen in England over charges by the
former director OF military operations
at the war office, Maurice, recently re-
moved and sent to active field duty
following statements which were con-
sidered a reflection on General Foch,
commander in chief OF the allied
armies. In a letter appearing in Lon
don newspapers, Maurice charged Bonar
Law and Premier LToyd-George with
misstatements in the House OF Com
mons regarding military matters. A
special court OF inquiry is ordered to
investigate the charges, which are de-
MED.
American troops in their positions
south of the Somme have been sub
jected to intense artillery fire, the
enemy using more than fifteen thousand
shells, mostly gas. in short period.
There have been no signs Of German
infantry attack against the Americans,
who confidently await the first signs
Of reawakened activity.
A large part of the southern end OF
the important Arras sector. has been
taken over by Canadian troops, who
also are being visited by a storm OF
German shells. French generals be-
lieve the Germans may attack stimuli
taneously on the Flanders, Arras and
Amiens fronts in an effoffrt to push
the allies back in one mighty blow. The
hin positions, however, are held by
the allies and their guns dominate the
Germans all along the line.
The Austro-Hungarian blow against
the Italian front has not developed.
Rome reports only moderate artillery
fire among most of the front from
Switzerland to the Adriatic and no in
fantry activity. The Austrians. how
ever, may be waiting for the most fav-
orable moment, probably the renewal
Of the German drive in France.
Today, May 7, is the third anniver-
sary OF the sinking Of the Lusitania
by German submarine with the loss
OF i2T5 lives.
