through the gates of the Sparrow Point
shipyard near Baltimore, one of the
older steel yards on the Atlantic
coast, owned by the Bethlehem Ship

but it is efficient and fast-and there
are many such.
On six great concrete slips slopdng
down to the bay saw six great masses
OF red and rusty steel, amid a forest OF
scaffolding and trestle work.
Six giant steel freighters of the
latest type were fairly growing into
Ishape amid noise like the erection OF
ten skyscrapers all at once in a big
open field.
On another slip, the first keel plates
Of another ship were being laid. and
close by there rode at anchor a giant
9,000-ton freighter just launched the
week before. With her tall gray walls
lgliStening in fresh paint her row of
crane masts and huge matches tipped
upward, she was the very latest word
in speed and freight capacity.
Looking down from her bridge her
open hold graped like an enormous
metal coffin in which one might bury a
hundred freight trains.
Hard by was growing up the great
| hull of a 12.000-ton boat which will
| take the water in sixty days. Her
keel was laid just three months ago.
Six thousand men were working in
the yard, on the seven slips or in the
great machine shops back of them.

shipyard-brains translated into
machinery and system. There is the

Behind the American Lines, Oct. II.
Recommendation that the American
military authorities in France should,
after the war, take charge of re-
establishing the devastated regions of
France and that German prisoners
should be made to repair the damages
they did in France. will be made by
the American agricultural commits
sion now here.
We are going to report 20 the sec
reta.y of war and the SECRETARY of
agriculture sale w. o. Thompson,
president of Ohio State university, and
chairman of the commission, that the
work of rehabilitating the devastated
territory is an army problem and
that the military authorities should
deal with it.

Ties is very serious one for it Is
filled with unexploded shells. The
fruit trees have been compltely erad-
icated by ruthless telling. You can
charge indemnities but you cannot
get lard ieady to plough without
danger.
THE Germans should take the risk
as part of the price to be paid for
their wanton devastations. From the
economic point of view, If we allow
German prisoners to return home to
reinforce Germany without this
French rehabilitation, Germany has
again the lead in France. France is
left on her back and Germany gets a
long start. Eyen after suffering mil
itar y defeat, she wins an economic vic
tory.
This devastation was admittedly
intended to ruin France 50 that she
could not recover for years. while

from him some of the features OF the
attack,
THE submarine screened itself by

"The lookout saw the torpedo COM

strike the stern. But 1t just cieaved
us. passing under our fantail. and as
the fantail has an overhang of only
twelve feet from the rudder post you
can imagine how close It came. Then
the enemy ducked as the guns opened
fire and that was the last seen of it,"
The submarine which made the at
tack is believed to have been destroy
ed soon after at almost the same spot
where she fired on the repair ship. A
DESTROYER came across her near the
shoals off the harbor entrance. I'M

was dropped at distance of eighty
Yards from the enemy. This is very
near for such a charge and the under

the sailors call them. established that
the submarine was lying helpless on

went down on the floudering victim.
