WARNS j. S. TO
SPEED UP SHIPS
William Denman Says Germany
Will Win Unless We Hurry.
APPEARS BEFORE SENATORS
Former Chairman of Shipping Board
Blames Lodge for Loss of Vessels
Taken From Yards by For
eign Owners.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Germany will
WIN the war this year, unless building
OF ships is speeded up, William Den
man, former chairman of the shipping
board, predicted before the senate
commerce committee
Denman appeared before the COM
mlttee at his own request. He said
the purpose of the board when organ
lied was to speed up ship production
in this country and that this could
best have been done by the building of
wooden ships.
In order to show the situation that
faced the allies at that time Denman
read from statement made by him
before the commerce committee early
last year but never made public, in
which the prediction was made that
at the rate German submarines sank
ships in April, 1917, the loss for that
year would be 100000 tons dead
weight, while he estimated that for
the year ending March 5, 1917, world
production would be 100000 tons.
Position Misrepresented.
Denman declared that the country
had been given the impression that
only wooden ships were to be built
through widespread propaganda con-
Quoted by steel men.
Denman told the committee that his
position regarding wooden ships had
been misrepresented to the public. He
declared the "press had overplayed
our hand in the matter of wooden
Ships" and said the impression that
the board was devoted to a wooden
ship building policy only had done
more to harm ship extension in this
country than anything else.
"The public had the opinion that we
were trying to build up wooden ships
and run down the value of steel YES
seis," Denman said.
The real situation was that he
wanted additional tonnage, he added,
and thought wooden ships the best
way to get it.

sells taken from American shipyards
by foreign owners.
Denman said Lodge criticized the
shipping board because the ships were
allowed to escape from under the
American flag.
Lodge was primarily responsible
for their escape" said Denman, "be-
cause he helped to defeat a law which
would have put an embargo on the
sailing of such ships"
Senator Martin, a member of the
committee, said General Goethals told
him that the president was RESPONSE
BILE for the loss of these ships, because
he declined to sign an order to pre-
vent them from sailing.
Denman refused to discuss this, say
ing that the president should give out
all information on that subject.
Denman said that when organized |
the board found that a majority of |
the shipyards on the Atlantic coast |
were unwilling to take contracts for |
steel vessels from the government be- |
cause of pending contracts and scare |
