Manson, OF New York. managing di-
rector of the Pacific & Eastern Steam
ship Company, told the Senate Com
mercc Committee to-day the govern
mcnt should take over all shipyards
and abrogatc all agency contracts tC
operate them as an adjunct to the
government.
Manson said last November he gave
the Shipping Board figures from Great
Britain showing ships were being built
there for SIS ton and that the
United States was paying $1A5 ton
He urged the committee to investigate
the governments agency contracts at
Newark. y. j.. and at Chester, Penn.
When the bill creating the Shipping
Board was before Congressional com
mittces. Manson urged that the gov
ernment take over and operate ship
yards. largely on the ground that for
eign shipping interests were using in
tlucnce to retain private construction
Mr.. Manson told the committee h,
has had twelve years experience il
the shipping business and has made
something of a study OF yard con
struction. He said the whole pro
grammc of government ship construc
tion under the agency contract system
was ill-advised and costly.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22-An endless
chain Of Liberty truck trains is moving
from Detroit to the seaboard, laden
with supplies for the American expc-

sight to see a train of thirty trucks,
each truck carrying approximately
three tons of army supplies, passing

In contrast to the cheering crowds
which lined the streets when the frs.
khakI-colored trucks wcnded their

merely glance at the trains arriving
and departing, though they marvel at
the seemingly never-et hiding procession.

Federal Food Administrator. Under the
direction of prominent banker and

Similar divisions will he established

Food Saving Is Necessary
Hoover Says, to Maintain
Morale of Allies

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. Food ad-
mlnlstra:ors in states west of the Mis-
sissippi were given permission to- day
70 lift during the spring marketing
season restrictions on the use Of NUT
ton and lamb on mcatless days. This
was done because this class of meat is
not exported to the Allies and railroad
congestion has prevented its free move
ment East
The free use of mutton and lamb is
permitted now IN several Of the West
ern states. The meatless days, in so
far as they apply to beef and pork. Will
be continued in force as at present.
The restrictions may be lifted, the
administrators were notified, until A3ril
10, when the marketing season is virtu-
ally over.
1T is desirable to bear in mind" said
Mr. Hoover to-day. "that the mcatlcss
days are simply and solely for the pur
pose of enabling us to feed the Alilcs
by saving on our meat consumption
They were instituted as a device to this
end because it places tho burden of
saving on those classes most able to do
so.
Necessary to Help Allies
Our nationa, consumption has in
creased al a faster rate than our pro-
duction. and therefore without the
meatless days we would not be in a
position to export even the prc-war
average amounts. Therefore the actual
saving is more than is apparent bv the

Three Brooklyn youths, who said they
had gambled away all their money in
a Williamsburg poolroom, entered the
cigar store at 35 Park Row at 9:30
o'clock last night, thrust revolver

Desmond, of 506 West 176th Street,

Whitcomb, a fireman attached to En-

and chased all three into the arms of
two policemen at Fulton and William
streets. In the hat of one, it is said,
the entire loot. $l72.4S, was found.

cr's. He docided upon them it is said,
ns soon as it became apparent that
the problem of feeding the United
States and its allies was likely to be
further complicated by railroad con-
gestion.
Heretofore the Food Administration
has obtained a fairly accurate idea OF
food supplies from local market re-
ports and reports supplied by the De
partment of Agriculture. These re-
ports, however. have been based en-
tirely upon voluntary returns from
wholesalers and storage and ware
house men. Mr.. Hoover now demands
absolutely accurate information, and
under a clause of the Lever bill. which
created the Food Administration, the
new census division will have the
power to compel sworn figures, if nee
essary.
The New York Police Department re-
Gently undertook food census. This
has not been completed. The new food
bureau will work Independently of
municipal agencies. but Mr.. Williams
said last night that the aid of the
police or the City Market Department
might be accepted.

This Is War of Ideals,
Says Gov. Whitman

PEORIA. H., Feb. 22-That the
ideals which brought victory to the
American Colonies in the War Of the
Revolution, and which stamped out
slavery in the Civil War, arc again at
stake, not only in this country, but
throughout the world, was the theme
of an address by Charles S. Whitman,
Governor of New York, at the Wash
ington Birthday banquet of the Creve
Coucr Club here Tonight. Speaking
Of the present war he said in part:
This is not d war on the German
people, nor is Germany merely making
war on the people of other lands. This
is combat between ideals of govern
ment Belgium, broken. but uncu-
quered; England, struggling as she
has never struggled before; the sons
Of France, singing as they bleed and
smiling as they die. are just as truly
lighting for an ideal as were the rag
ged Continentals at Saratoga or at
Yorktown. or the men whose bloody
feet left their impress in the snow at

Ford Boosts Auto Prices
Increased Cost of Materials
Advanced as Reason
Especial Correspondence |

DETROIT, Feb. 22-The Ford Motor
Company to-day announced an advance
in the price Of all United States cars,
the reason given being increased cost
of materials and the difficulty in secur-
ing them. On the touring car and the
runabout the price advances 500. ef-
fectve at once, while the chassis is in
creased by S75, making the new prices
$3.50 for the touring car, Sl00 for the
chassis and $435 for the runabout
The advance will also increase the
war tax, as 3 per cent must be paid in
purchase price. Af present the daily
output of cars totals 500, which is a
reduction Of about 40 per cent from
normal production. Officials of the
Ford Company, however, have made no
statement which would indicate that
the government work now being done
here has anything to do with the in
creased prices.

Strength

Captain A. P. simmonds, who was an
American military observer in Ger
many in 1914, told the Sons of the
American Revolution of New York last
night at dinner at Dclmonico's that
Germnny's strongly intrcnchcd posi-
tion in France and Belgium means that
assailants to be successful must out
number the Germans five to one. There
will be moro than two years more of
war at least, he thought.
Germany has 100000 men in the
field now, he said, and 100000 in re-
serve. There are also, he said, 5000. 200
boys between the ages Of thirteen and
sixteen who could be counted as
soldiers within three years. He dc
scribed the smoothness with which the
German war machine worked at the
outbreak of hostilities, and declared
that the German Ambassador in Lon
don was SO chagrined at his failure to
perceive Great Britain's intention that
he was under strict guard for three
weeks TO prevent his suicide
