BY MAY PREDICTED
President and Senator Agree That
1913 Shipping Will Reach

Washington, March l6 President Will
son today discussed the general ship

commerce committee, and Senator RAMS
dell of Louisiana, q member OF the com
mttce. The conference was understood
to bc the first of series which the Presi-
dent plans to hold with members of the
committee, which has been investigating
the shipping situation for many weeks.
After listening to the results OF the
Senate committees inquiry the Pres
dent was said to have expressed satisfac-
ton with the outlook at the present time
and agreed with Senator Fletcher that
the nation should produce from 5000 900
to 1000, 900 tons of shipping of all kinds
this year. MIR Wilson is understood to
have expressed particular interest iii the
reinforced concrete ship launched Thurs
day on the Pacific coast and to desire
that the vessel receive thorough trial
because of the short time in which this
class of craft can be turned out.

Senator Fletcher told the President
that ship day was being launched
now and that all indca ations pointed to
two launchings n day by May Some

GORGAS URGES 70
MEDICAL GENERALS
Opens Fight on Baker, General
Staff and War College; Finds
Physicians Handicapped.
WASHINGTON, March 10.


Bitter contention has arisen in army
circles over the question of reconstricting
the Army Medical Reserve Corps, accord
ing to evidence introduced TO the Sennte
Military Affairs Committee yesterday
A line of cleavage has developed in the
army medical service, and the President
has n new fight on his hands with Secre-
tary Baker, the General Staff and the War
College apparently lined up against Sur
geon-t ieneral Gorgas, who has the rank
of Major-General; DIR. G. II. Mayo, for
merely Of Rochester, MINI, now a major
in the army, and DR. Franklin Martin,
head of the Division of Sanitation i'm the
Council of National Defence.
CLEAVAGE CAUSES DEMAND.
This cleavage hns crystallized in the
demand of Gen. Gorgas for authority to
raise the rank of medical officers be-
yond that of major TO give such officers,
many Of them distinguished medical
men, equal il not superior rank to officers
OF the line. Gen Gorgas would have the
grade of these medical officers carried up rs
high M MajorGcneral.
The reason for this request il develops,
lies in the fact that recommendations made
by distinguished physicians and sanitar-
Ians IN Gen. Gorgas corps holding only
the rank OF major have been oyerrulcd bY
their superiors in the line II is reported
that President Wilson in this new eTnbTog-
lio cmphatlcally sympathrzes with Gen.
Gorgas and hIs following despite the fact
that Secretary Baker and the General
staff are opposed To the plan In this sltua-
ton apparently lies the first sign OF dIg-
cord between Mr. Wilson and mis- War
Secretary.

I MONTHS DAYLIGHT
BILL PASSES HOUSE
Provides for Advancing Standard
Time One Hour From Last
Sunday in March, 1918.
WASHINGTON. March 16.


The Daylight-Saving bill went through
the last Legislative stage when it passed the
House yesterday by vote of 252 to 40. IL
is estimated by experts for the govern
ment that millions of dollars will be
saved in fuel in the seven months dur
ing which the standard time shall be
advanced one hour. 1t would not be
necessary, speakers said in the House
today, To have lights burning III fac
tories and places Of employment during
the period of the advanced time from
March to October, and this would effect
large saving in coal used for iluminat-
ing purposes.
The bill provides that at 2 n. m. of
the last Sunday of March of each year
the standard time in each Of the FIVE
zones in the United States shall be ad-
vanced one hour, and at 2 n. In. of the
last Sunday in October the standard
time of each zone shall be set back an
hour. The effect of this If to start and
close all business activities an hour
earlier than at present. This viii give
opportunity for recreation and outdoor
work and activities long before sunset
after the close of business.
AIM TO SAVE FUEL.
While the strong argument advanced
for the step was the saving Of fuel CO..
sumed for Illuminating purposes, aRricul-
tural experts and conscrvationists asserted
that men employed in offices and factories
would have plenty of time, through the
earlier closing of places of employment, TO
work their gardens and thereby contrib
ute TO the food supply of the nation The
bill MS il passed the Senate provided that
daylight saving should start on the last
Sunday of April and end on tho last Sum
day Of September, period Of five months.
On representations from DIR Garfield and
MIR Hoover, who presented the saving Of
fuel and the conservation ideas, the House
extended the time to seven months.
There will be no opposition in the
Senate to the acceptance OF the Houses
The bill will be concurrcd
in by the Senate and 90 to the President
next week, so that the plan can be carried
into effect on March 81 next
