SHIP BUILD -RS ASKED

pointingf Hurley Wires.

Washington,i April American
shipbuilders were called upon To eX-
plain why theit output for March fell
behind schedule.
Chairman Hurley, of the shipping
board, and General Manager Piez, of
the Emergency Fleet corporation,
telegraphed the managements of all
the yards in the United States saying
they are "keerily disappointed" in the
tonnage delivered and placing the re-
sponsibility of turning out ships
squarely on the men in control of ac-
tual building operations.
Keynote of present situation is

gram said. Money, material and men
have been supplied without stint by
the nation Che American people
want shins ssss;

officials say they want to know if the
fault is with the Emergency Fleet cor
poration. The managers are asked if
their forces are doing full days

please don't overestimate," the
telegram urged, after asking for the
prospects during April. 1t is said that
the March estimate of 1870 tons
was made on the promises of ship
builders who delivered only 1856, 700
tons.
In discussing the telegram Chairman
Hurley said it is his intention to find
out exactly where the fault Is.

some cases they We're marching in
double lines, taking up the road from

important decisions have been come
To by which large forces of trained
men in the American army can be
brought to the assistance of the allies
in the present struggle.
THE government of our great west
ern ally is not only sending large num-
berS of American battaliOnS to Europe
during the coming critical months, but
has agreed to such of its regiments as
cannot he used in divisions of their
own being brigaded with French and
British units so long as the necessity
lasts.
by this means troops which are
not yet sufficiently trained to fight as
divisions and army corps will form

time as they have completed their
training and General Pershing wishes
to withdraw them in order to build up
the American army.
arrangements for the tranSporta-
ton of these additional forces are now
being completed
'ThrOughOut these discussions Pres
ident Wilson has shown the greatest
anxiety to do everything possible to
assist the allies and has left nothing
undone which could contribute there
to.
This decision, however, of vital i'm

next few months will in no way dimin-
i>h the need for those further meas
ureS for raising fresh troops at home,

singleness of purpose with which the
United States have madS this imme-

several prisoners and Killed a number
of the enemy, were carried out in the
neighborhood of Acheville and Holle

The general situation AT the mo-
ment, as described by Reuters CORES
pondent at British headquarters, is
that the main movement of fresh enc
my troops and others that are moder-
ately fresh, continues to be toward the
zone between the Somme and Montdi-
dier North of the Somme the British
have succeeded in stabiliZing the line
at any time for the time being.
There has been a considerable in
crease in the artillery fire against the
British positions at PaSschanedele and
on the Goeberg ridge, in Belgium,
northeast of Ypres. The correspond
ent says, however, that the Germans
are committed so heavily to the pres
ent battlefront that it is not easy to
believe they will try an offensive else
where.
