Merchant Marine
Director Urged
At Rotary Club
Great Problem Is to Obtain
Sailors, Declares p. H.
w. Ross

One Of the grsvest problems con.
fronting the United States governments
to-day, P. H. w. Ross, president of the
National Marine League. declares, is
the manning of the great merchant
marine now being turned out by our
shipyards.
ut is very we'll to speak of getting
our boys to the trenches" he said,
speaking before the Rotary Club az
the Hotel McAlpin yesterday, but the
most perpiexing question now is the
obtaining of sufficiently trained sea-
men to man the vessels carrying them
across"
Mr.. Ross explained the conditions
under which men are obtained for the
service to-day are entirely lnsatisfac-
tory. Men for the merchant marine
are enrolled, instead of enlisted as in
the navy" he said, "and consequently
discipline cannot be as we'll main
tanned" He suggested as a means Of
ameliorating conditions that man be
named to direct our overseas freight
and passenger transportation. I'VE
have McAdoo on land directing our
railways. and we must have McAdoo
on the sea directing our ships" he
said.
"As for ships" added Mr.. Ross, 1--WE
need have no fear. A year ago We
were all alarmed because we thought
that our shipbuilding facilities were
limited. Our theories were all dis
pelled by the recent launching of the
Tuckahoe after twenty-seven days con-
struction. We have to-day more than
400 busy shipways, and if each of these
turns out ten vessels a year similar
to the Tuckahoe we would have a total
of 1000 ships annually.
"An average ship of 5000 tons would
give US possible production of 24,000,-
600 tons year. This was beyond the
widest dreams of our shipbuiders
year ago, Great Britain figuring only
on 100000 tons annually as maxi
mum. Our shipbuilding prospects ara
indeed rosy, but the men TO man them
that is the great problem

Soldier Students Attend School
Within Range Of Enemy Cannon
University of Vimy Ridge Established by Canadians
College Men Continue Work Under Unusual Conditions
Captain Cameron Lauds American Fighting Men

The University of Vimy Ridge has
been established by the Canadians
within shelling distance of the Ger
man guns. It's students are the killed
and khaki clad fighting men of the
Domlnion's overseas force. The faculty
includes privates and generals and
corporals-rank means nothing in the
unlversity--who were college profess
sors or instructors before they entered
the service
Captain William A. Cameron, of the
Canadian army, who arrived in New
fork yesterday, mentioned the battle
front college in the most casual way
imaginable at the termination of an
interview in which the officer, denying
ne knew anything of Importance, had
been harassed by flock of reporters
to- tell them blood curdling stories.
captain Cameron was a minister when
the war broke out and left his pulpit in
the Bloor Street Baptist Church in
toronto to raise a regiment. When
this was accomplished he enlisted as
private, but they made him a cap
tain in less time than it takes to tell
1t and then he showed his appreciation
by raising another regiment. Now he
has come to the United States to talk
to shlpyard workers under the auspices
OF the National Service Section of the
United States Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet
In explaining what he has been doing
abroad, Captain Cameron mentioned
the Vimy Ridge University and said
he had had the privilege of lecturing
there. Then in reply to a drumfre
OF questions he said the president
was DR.. F. H. Oliver, a chaplain, who
IN civil life was president of the
University of Saskatoon, Canada. The
chancellor is the general officer COM
mandlng Canadian division at Vimy
Ridge
There are about sixty Instructors
and they have classes in everything
from political economy to domestic
SCIENCE. The most popular courses,
Captain Cameron said, are agriculture
and French French girls give instruc-
ton in that language; hence the popu-
larlty of the course. Before the recent
drive began the student body ranged
from 5000 to 1000 officers and men
textbooks are provided by the Y. M.
{. A. of Canada, and by a special ar
rangement with Canadian universities
work done at Vimy Ridge is credited
to the students, SO that upon their re-
turn to college they will be that much
nearer their degrees.
Captain Cameron said the classes
are held in dugouts, Y. M. C. A. huts
and canteens and invariably within
sound and range of the German guns.
Visited American Troops
Captain Cameron is assigned to the
Y. M. c. A. of the Canadian army. He
is not chaplain, but is an infantry

WooIIy Novelties From Paris Are
to Be Substituted.
New Neck Arrangements Are on Scarf
Order; Waistcoats Of An0ora;
Use Of Covert Cloth.

Furs are to become scarcer and a
new supply is not anticipated. as the
trappers have gone to war, and the
soldiers sent to Siberia and Russia
were not sent out without an effort
to mitigate the temperature of the
nOrtherly climate.
The very high-priced furs and the
very cheapest remain in market, but
the demand Is not great. This is not
encouraging, but we still have Paris
to depend upon. Not that Paris can
supply us with furs-far from it-fOr
there are now very few furs left ex-
cept American ones. What we do de-
pend upon France for is something
which will take the place of fur and
satisfy our longing for the beautiful.
Our ally has never failed us, either In
adversely or in the little things of life
which keep our interest fresh.
If we lack furs, novelties are forth
coming in the way of woOlly devices
and the cleverest of ways in which to
wear them. If wool is short Paris in

satin and little lining take its place.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Since the European sources of vege-
table seed have been cut off by war
conditions, the seed-growing industry
In the United States has made rapid
developments, particularly in the Pa
cific coast and Rocky mountain states.
according to report of the bureau OF
crop estimates, United States depart
ment of agriculture.
An added stimulus to this industry
has been the increased number of war
gardens which have been planted in
all parts of the country. The ,ym-
mercial production Of vegetable seeds
is chiefly confined to few widely sep
arated but well-defined districts. but in
exceptional instances the industry has
been introduced into new sections
through the efforts of contracting
seedmen who have sought to expand
the production by entering new areas.
The production of onion seed is car
ried on in many localities. Most of
the Western districts where onions are
grown for market also raise for their
own use and sell the surplus. The
largest section of production for on
ion seed, however, is known as the
"river district" of the San Joaquin
and Sacramento valleys in the central
part of California.

California is the largest producer OF
carrot seed. Sacramento and YOlO
counties rank first, with San Joaquin,
Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San
Benito counties ranking as minor pro-
ducers. In the production of radish
seed the situation is reversed, the coast
counties of California producing the
bulk of the crop, and the river dis
trict being unimportant as a producer.
It is also grown in the Pacific North
west. Beet seed is grown in both
the river and coast districts of Cali
fornia, but is probably grown more
extensively around Sacramento than in
any other portion of the state. Let
