HOG ISLAND UNABLE
TO KEEP ITS SCHEDULE
Mammoth Shipyard Needs $1,000
Skilled Men to Complete 48
Ships Before January 1.

PHILADELPHIA, September T.
simultaneously with encouraging re-
ports of progress in the Hog Island
shipyard today came information that
there is scarcely any hope of the
plant delivering the ships promised
for 1918. 1T does not look possible
that Hog Island will fulfill it's sched-
Ule of forty-eight ships delivered this
year." said Charles Piez, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. ITO
carry out that program the plant
would have to have $4,000 skilled men
today. We are much gratified with
the improvement that has been made
and naturally expected delay in
building up a new organization, but
the promise of y-eight completed
ships before January l was too big
1T was much easier to gather a
large force of men for the construc-
ton work Of the yard, but to get a
sufficient number of skilled ship
workers Is quite another matter. The
plant is intensifyins on its training
method and there will be a marked
Improvement from week to week

DEPLORES BAN ON BEER.
Brewers President, Though, Says
Members Are Out to Win War.

NEWARK, n. J.. September T.
Christian ". Feigenspan. president Of
the United States Brewers Associa-
ton. in a statement issued here today
deplored the Sudden and drastic" fed
eral order that beer must not be man.
ufactured after December l, but said
the members of the association would
comply with the governments wishes
in order TO help win the war.
Mr.. Feigenspan said:
The suddenness of the announce
ment and the nearness of the date
when beer must cease to be brewed
was naturally a surprise and a shock
to the brewing industry. The effect
is far-reaching, both as it touches
capital and labor. and then the beer
consuming public must not be entire
ly overlooked, since. If there was not
a demand, a very general demand, for
beer, there would be no breweries.
And. SO speaking for the brewers and
to the beer-consuming public and all
others feeling themselves aggrieved
by this sudden and drastic step. l say
that am sure the President must be
in possession of facts making this
move necessary, and It Is not only our
duty to comply with the order, but
it is our privilege to make this su-
preme sacrifice on the altar of pa
triotism.'

Special Rulings
For FJOM7" Sales

Special regulations issued by the
federal food administration for
North Dakota, under the newly
promulgated wheat flour sales plan,
eliminate some of the previous rul-
fngs relative to flour purchases.
One point of special Importance to
farmers who are accustomed to
bringing their wheat to grist mills,
and having it ground into flour for
their own use, is that the rules gov
erning the sale of flour and flour
substitutes apply to all customs and
exchange transactions, as well as
SAFES of flour to farmers. On this
basis, farmers exchanging wheat for
-four must take 20 per cent sub,
stitutes.
Rules particularly applying to
North Dakota include the following:
THE rules limiting the sale by
retailers, to an eighth Of barrel in
sparcely settled districts are re-
cinded.
Licensees, millers, wholesalers,
retailers and bakers are allowed to
have sixty days supply of -four
"The rule limiting the sale of flour
by millers to wholesalers or whole
salers to retailers, in combination
with substitutes or certificates there
fore, and the rule restricting the
sale to 20 per cent of previous sales
are recinded. This means that re-
: tailers or flour dealers are not re-
CURED to purchase substitutes when
they purchase flour.
Where millers SILL directly to
consumers they must obey the same
regulations as retail dealers"

Heavy Demand
For Clothing

There is an increased demand for
clothing, especially for children,
with the arrival of colder weather,
according to the August report of
the Glad Tidings mission, 116 Front
street, given out by Rev. e. G. Swan
son, superintendent, today '.The
demands for shoes and clothing are
increasing each day" reads the re-
port, especially for children who
go to school. Anyone having shoes.
clothing or old furniture they wish
to dispose of please call 358-W, and
we will arrange to call for same.'
August was a busy month at the
mission, 101 women and Is men be-
ing provided with day work,
Thirty eight religious services were
held during the month, and SO calls
and visits made. Ninety two gar
ments, % pairs of shoes and seven
pieces of furniture were given to 10
persons and families. An outing
for 80 children was held in Oak
Grove through contributions of Far
go business men.

POLITICIANS OF
STATE HEADING
FOR BISMARCK TO.
ATTEND MEETINGS
Republican and Democratic
Central Committees Or
ganize Wednesday

Politicians OF North Dakota are
today gathering in Bismarck, where
the organization meetings will be
held Wednesday of the Republican
and the Democratic state central
committees.
The Nonpartisans will control the
Republican committee meeting, while
the Democrats will control their own
committee meeting despite the fact
that the Nonpartisan chief made an
effort to capture that organization
in the recent primaries.
An exact lineup Of the Republican
committee has not been obtainable
UP to the present time, but the indi-
cations are that the Nonpartisans
have elected about 80 Of the 40 mem
bers Of the committee. The Nonpar-
tisans elected about IL members of
the Democratic state central COM
mittee, the balance, 35, being regular
Democrats.
The business that becomes before
each committee toorrow is the MAX
ing of the party platform. The Re-
publican committee will promulgate
the Nonpartisan program, while the
Democratic committee will lay down
a program on which it will go be-
fore the people asking the election
OI p u. DOytS LOE governor.
w. e. Byerly probably will be re-
elected chairman of the Democratic
state central committee. The Non
partisans commanding the Republi-
can committee will do whatever the
st. Paul heads Of the organization
demand, and that probably of the re-
election OF William Lemke. though
there is, of course. no certainty as
to that. So few are permitted to
know what is going on on the in
side, that the ticket probably will
not be made known to more than
limited number of the committee
members till just before it is put over
At least, that has been the plan of
action on which the league leaders
have heretofore operated so sue
cessfully. ....
The league program. Of course, will
call for public ownership Of every
thing in sight. except possibly farm
lands, though one league member
goes to the committee meeting, in
structed to support a plank urging
state purchase of all farm lands, ma
chinery. cattle. etc.

NO GERMAN ORDER
EVER ISSUED, SAYS
BOX, SECRETARY
OF DEFENSE BODY
Bears Out William Lang
er's Assertion Despite
Signed Declaration

The North Dakota council of de-
Tense has at no time issued any
order affecting the use of the Ger
man language.
So saws Thomas Allan Box, secre-
tary Of the council, despite the fact
that an order to a board in charge
of a German language school in Am
enia, Cass county, issued late in
June. resulted in the closing OF that
school.
Mr.. Box, visitor in Fargo yes
terday, bore out statements made
by Attorney General William Lam
ger, in his letters to j. w. Riley,
superintendent of schools of Cass
county, who acted on the original
order in the Armenia case and at
tempted to close another German
school, only to find himself blocked
when the attorney general took a
hand and declared that the order is
sued originally over Mr.. Box's sig
nature was the unauthorized act Of
a woman stenographer, and that no
order affecting German has been is
sued by the council.
"The matter was considered, but
no action was taken" said Mr.. Box,
in discussing the matter yesterday.
1T is probable that the fact that
inc HdtLer was CoAslueISu DLOuSHt
about the misunderstanding"
Mr.. Box disclaims all personal re-
sponsibility for the issuance of the
order in the Armenia German school
case. despite the fact that the let
ter carrying the order closing such
school was signed with his name.
