Port Newark, N. J.. July 81 have
Just talked with the father of the
most important set of triplets the
world has ever known. They were
born on the morning of July 4.
Their names are Alamosa. Alcona and
Chetopa.
They are girls, and they have one
older sister. who is only thirty-five
days older than they. The older sister
Is named Agawana. and she was
born May 80. By the end of 1913
there will be $50 children in this
family alone. and there will be hun
dreds of cousins.
The Alamosa, Altoona and Chetopa
are steel fabricated ships. and with
their older sister are the only four
ships of their kind in the world

sutphen the Man.
Henry r. Sutphen is the man whose
remarkable brain gave birth to the
iaea of building ships like skyscrapers
or bridges. A year ago last April he
presented the idea to Gen. Goethals
Of the Shipping Board. but it was not
until September IA. 1917. that the first
contract for these ships was awarded
to the company of which he is vice
president, the Submarine Boat
Corporation.
1T was not easy to convince the
Shipping Board that fabricSted steel
ships were possibility" said Mr..
Sutphen. We sat in a room the win

with their towering shapes in every
stage of near completion, with the
busy fingers of enormous cranes i'm
cessantly moving back and forth

the ships. while through the open
windows with the breeze from New
ark Bay comes the incessant
"bu-r-rap"' of hundreds of riveters.
A New Idea.
The idea was new to shipbuild-
ers-" Sutphen continued. They
could not believe that it was pos
sible to standardize and fabricate
ships as we would a bridge. But the
thing simply had to be done. The
rolling mills producing plate for Or
dinary shipbuilding operations were
scarcely able to supply the steel
necessary to meet the building needs
for warships- But it seemed to us

was largely due to him and Melville E.
Stone, the manager OF the Associated
Press, that the rupture was averted.
The japanese through a Mr.. Kaneko
had promised the President that Japan
would not insist on an indemnity, and
on the strength of that the peace
treaty was to be signed. But the Japa-
nese Commissioners Unexpectedly re-
newed the demand for an indemnity,
and then Count White prepared to
cable a single code word to st.
Petersburg which would have meant a
battle involving 1000, 900 men. II the
demand for the indemnity was pressed
White was to leave the conference

agreed upon. That was the plan on a
