como down to brass tacks I'll admit
that you convinced the charter men,

pancake, was round like an orange,

PUGET. you did worse, Christopher,
much worse. You crossed the ocean
all right. and you got as close to
America as tho kaiser's sons get to
the front-line trenches and then you

one Of my crew ventured the ques-
tion-Is that Coney Island in the

answer-1 cannot make out yet
whether 1t is Coney Island OF the
mouth Of the Ganges. The only per-
son talked to was myself. and even
thea in tones SO low that I could
scarcely hear what was saying: But
what said instinctively was-This is
the land of the free, and the home of
the brave! Those Indians squatting on
the shore suggest that over there lies
Indiana, in the heart Of America.
Therefore. this must be America!

he said, "is the swindling kind. The

Washington, Jan. 4-Plans for a two billion dollar shipbuilding pro- gramme were revealed here today when the shipping board asked congress for authority to place s701, 100000 worth of additional ship contracts.

 Thus far the board has been author : ized to spend for shipbuilding $1,234, : 900, ,0G0, contracts for most of whicl, for a further authorization and an additional appropriation bring the es- inmates of funds needed for shipbuifd- ing to $2,01S,O00, 900. If the additional funds are made available they will be put largely into fabricated steel ship contracts, although some con- | tracts for ordinary steel ships will be | let as well few for wooden ships or | the Pacific coast. 1 No new yards are planned by the beard. The fabricating yards have | contracts for about 800 ships now which will keep them constantly em' ployed into 1919. but the board 1: anxious to place more contracts ant begin on the task for providing ma l terials.
 The boards housing plans call fo
