1t Was Said That the Ships
Will Not Be Needed to
Bring Soldiers Home
AS BIG FREIGHTERS
WILL BE UTILIZED
U. S. Shipping Board Made
Somewhat Significant
Statement To-day

Washington, d. c., Oct. 3O..-Contracts
for construction of a number of troop
ships at a cost of $60,000,000 by the
Bethlehem Union shipyards at Alame-
da, Cal, have been cancelled by the
shipping board.
1t is said to have been found that
construction of additional ships designed
particularly to bring troops home from
Europe after the war was unnecessary,
because plans have been perfected for
converting large steel freighters into
temporary transports.
The board also desires to have its
present program completed at the end
Of 1919 and the yards at Alameda would
not have been able to turn out the trans
ports within that time.
1t was stated to-day that the board
is making no contracts at this time that
cannot be completed by the end of 1919.
This, however, does not mean ending of
ship construction then, for contracts will
be awarded during 1919 for construction
to run through 1920, such future con
tracts 10 be based on estimated needs
for cargo carriers Of all descriptions aft
er the war.
