How to End the War

From the Outlook.
~ URING the coming months we justified ex.
Jpectng the position of the Entente Allies on the
= western front to improve. But, Mr.. Hoover,
the Food Administrator, who recently returned from
Europe. there is prospect of ending of the
before the summer of 1919.
To obtain victory must he asserts place France

We have only find shipping, and equipment
but Army, the Allied armies, and the Allied civil
populations must meanwhile have food They have
nearly six million tons of food more than we shipped to
them in the past fiscal year. Moreover must ship
this addition and still keep sufficient amount to main
tain our own health and strength.
To shop the necessary food must rely not only
all the ships build but all the ships that
the Allies may lend And to lend them they must
take food ships from the distant markets and place
them upon the shorter to the United States.
We must decrease imports Of coffee and tropc
81 fruits for consumption. 1t is encouraging to
learn from Mr. Hoover that apparently going to
have sufficient sugar to maintain present consumption
and to take of the extra drain of the Allies u.s.
instead Of compelling them to send their ships the
Far East.
AS to our own products, we must reduce the con-
sumption and waste in breadstuffs beef pork poultry

Desolate Waste Transferred Into

are becoming adopts in the new trade
OF ship erection and assembly.
The army of $4,000 workers at the
great plant include men OF all nation
alities and all occupations. Nearly
1000 girls are also employed and many
OF them are doing work formerly done
by men. Most Of the common labor
was obtained in and around this city,
but the skilled mechanics and Office
employees hail from virtually every sec
ton OF the country. The payroll aver
ages close to 100000 a week.
Virtually no labor trouble has been
experienced at Hog Island, the few
minor grievances Of the employees be-
ing quickly adjusted. After a recent
inspection tour Of the yard, Charles NJ.
Schwab, director general of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, said that
everything was most harmonious"
The only thing needed, he added, was
additional riveting gangs and these
soon would be turned out at the train.

Housing Big Problem.
One of the most serious problems
encountered in the development of
this great city of shipbuilders was
that OF housing the vast army of en-
ployes. For brief period this caused
no little anxiety, but the situation was
relieved by the construction of bar
racks housing 5000 persons and bach
elor apartments for 1000 more Ac-
commodations for thousands were also
found at boarding houses and with
private families in all sections OF the
city. Later 1000 four and six-room
houses were constructed near the
shipyard at an average cost of $500
and rented to the employees at q nom.
inal figure.
Details of the yards progress are
interesting. On September 10, 1917,
the Emergency Fleet Corporation of
the United States Shipping Board
awarded the contract to the American
International Shipbuilding Corpora
tion to construct hte plant and to build
fifty 7,500-ton cargo ships. On Octo.
Der 20, an additional order was given
for seventy S,000-ton cargo and troop
ships and on May 80, 1918. the con
struction of sixty more 7,500-ton ves-
sells was ordered, total of $50. All
are to be completely outfitted even
to the table linen and silverware.

world is the story, in brief. OF Hog

months after the first surveyor ran

today virtually is complete. Before
the end of the year. according to Of
ficials Of the American Interna tional
Shipbuilding corporation, there will be
fifty ships on the ways and twenty
eight more, already launched. in the
finishing basins, or seventy-eight

than two miles Of ships.

Fifty Ways at Yard.
The fifty ways at the yard, which
is located on the Delaware, just out
side of Philadelphia, extend for a
mile and quarter along the river

with highly flexible system of der

The Military Situation

Bulgaria's elimination as a fighting power and
draw men and the prospect that Turkeys crush
ing defeat in Palestine will soon bring her to her
knees, indicate that the Central Powers are be-
ginning to crack under the weight of Marshal
Foch's gigantic blows. The terms Of the arm
istice with Bulgaria are so rigorous that the
Allies have virtually prepared way for an in
vasion into Austria should this be deemed ad-
visable. The Importance of Bulgarias defeat
cannot be gainsaid. And in the meantime the
German line of the west may crack at any
moment, forcing the Germans to retire eastward
and changing the whole complexion of the battle
front
The news of the last week has been the most
heartening in four years. Only a rabid enemy of
the Allies would underestimate the achievements
of the allied soldiers. Even the German press is
forced under the weight of the crushing blows
that have been dealt the Central Powers, to admit
that grave crisis confronts their cause. The
Frankfort Zeitung frankly begs the government
to make for peace, unequivocaly and sincerely"
The Zeitung am Mittag blames the government
for leading "the nation in blinkers past the abyss
of danger to our national life" Other news
papers print editorials conveying the impression
that Germany may lose the war.
With events shaping themselves in our favor,
it behooves us not to become too overly enthus-
iastic, losing balanced judgment and an accur-
ate discernment of the task still ahead. Final
victory has not yet been attained. Stiff fighting
is ahead of the boys at the front, and great sac
rifices Of money must still be made at home. We
will do well to feel elated in proportion to the
gains made and not in proportion to an enthus-
iasm that is in excess of the actual progress. 1t
Is noticeable that the allied capitals are not in
dulging in great celebrations but are calmly
weighing the news from the front and then grid
ing themselves for still greater tasks. Our great
military leaders are COUGHING their reports in
measured expressions that show their conserv-
alive appraisal of the situation. The best way
in which good Americans can celebrate the VIC
tory Of our soldiers is by purchasing Liberty
Loan bonds.
Shouting and exalted feeling will not win the
war; Bullets, bayonets, bombs and all the other
necessities of war are the only tried and proved
means of killing Huns. You can shout yourself
hoarse, but if you do not buy bonds to furnish the
sinews of war, you'll not be able to break forever
the Hindenburg line.
And so the real message of the glorious war
news of these days is call for renewed conse-
Grafton that expresses itself in the purchase of
bonds.

War Hints War Helps -War:Duties
BY George AIDE.

We are swept along this week by the big
drive to raise six billions Of dollars Just now the
people of Indiana must think and talk and act in
large sums of money. It was known before the
drive started that a great many people would
subscribe for bonds. This week let us all remind
ourselves that we are lending money to our best
friend, that we stand no earthly chance OF losing
any part of our investment, that the rate Of in
terest fair that our failure to meet the present
demand upon us would mean disgrace and dis
aster. It is no time to harangue, because the
Hoosiers are alert and willing. There is no need
to tell man to do something when he is getting
ready to do it. Only, just remember this: When
you reach into your pocket this week, reach all
the way in. Find out what your friends expect
you to do and your enemies predict you will do
and then go ahead and Guido all the estimates.
Permits are now required for new construc-
ton projects. Even small building jobs are in
cluded in the new government order. Men,
money and materials must now be concentrated
on war work if we are to back up and supply an
army counted by millions Uncle Sam plays no
favorites at time like this. Postpone your
building until after the war.
