QUINCY, Mass, April 2o.-Secretary
view of the speed with which America
is turning out fighting ships here to-
day. At the Squantum works of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation he
was conducted to the slips in which
lay the keel blocks only. Under the
guidance of veteran shlpbuilder he
laid the keels of five oestloyers al
most simultaneously, to the cheering
accompaniment Of the entire shipbulld-
ing force.
Fifty minutes later Mr.. Daniels re.
turned to find that, where there had
been gaping voids, stood the steel
framework of five destroycrs actually
in position. 1t was an object lesson
of what American shipbuilders are
capable, and Secretary Daniels was
obviously pleased at the feat. =
The great Squantum yard rises where
few months ago was quagmlre. IL
is one Of the most completely equipped
nlants NJ M in the world. Even the slipways
are covered in up to the water edge:
Previously the Secretaryhad attended
the launching of a destroyer at the
Fore River plant Of the same company,
two miles away from the Squantum
yards.
The Secretary came here on tour of
inspection of these yards, escorted by
Joseph W. Powell, vice-president OF
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company.
Mr.. Daniels appeared tremendously
Impressed, Off the yard he knew, when
last he visited Quincy, had $500 men
at work. To-day it had 10000.
Praises Effort of Labor
After the destroyer had been
launched the shipbuilders called on
Mr.. aDniels for a speech.
"The most gratifying thing ABOUT
this war;" he said, "is that the bulk
of the men of all callings have been
ready to make whatever sacrifices the
authorities have asked them to make.
There has been hearty response by
the American people in all directions.
The spirit of America IS that there
will be no profiteering and no tolera-
ton of slackers either in the military
service, in munition plants. IN the
shipvards or anywhere else. The men
who are turning out destroyers and
munitions are just as brave as men
who are at the front. unless thelr
courage and willingness makes sac
rifice to furnish the implements OF OF
war, the brave men, at the 1ronS wlll
give their lives without the agencies aI
Which will enable them to win the war.
"The greatest disappointment of the
Kaiser has not been the failure of the
H.hoat warfare to starve our allies, al
though that was keen disappointment
The greatest disappointment was the
falling down of the we'll planned propa-
canda to foment social revolution in
America. The greatest disappointment
of all is that the efforts OF his pald
spies and emissaries, whispering IN the
ears of any laborlng man VINO wouio
listen, are worse than wasted. LABOR
in America understands that it depends
for it's life and progress. and future

Several automobiles will also begin

motorists who have loaned their ma

time the gas is the gift of the Gulf Re-
finine Company, which has arranged to
have a big tank at Disbrow's garage,
Hillside Avenue, Jamaica. There the
autos will fill their tanks. The garage
is right on the A. A. A. route to Yap-
hank, so the short stop for gas will
entail no appreciable loss of time.

their relatives shortly before noon

Senate Gets Figures
First Section Is Expected to
Furnish All the Troops
Needed

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Under the
classification of men FOR selective draft
service, Provost Marshal General Crow
der has advised the Senate Military
Committee approximately 100000 will
be placed in Class /, from which it is
expected all future calls will be taken.
These 100000, according to General
Crowder, are exclusive of between
100000 and 100000 moro annually,
which number, it is estimated, will be
made subject to military duty under
the bill now in Congress subjecting to
registration youths reaching their ma
jority.
From the 100000 IN Glass NEARLY
20 per cent OF the total registration
IN the country-and the additional
number secured ny new legislation,
General Crowder has advised Senators
that it would be improbable that calls
will go outside of the highest class.
Of youths reaching twenty-one years
Of age, under the new legislation, it is
believed that at least 90 per cent would
be placed in Glass /.
Plans for the new draft, General
Crowder has advised the Senate com
mittee, are somewhat unsettled by the
House amendment tn the Senate bill
changing the basis of quotas from state
Glass 1, which would give credits to
states for all men previously fur
nished, by voluntary enlistment or
draft.
Operation of the House amendment,
according to General Crowder, would
cause much inequality between states
in the new draft. Agricultural states.

THE COMING ISSUE

Senator Borah offers an extremely pessi-
mistic forecast Of the Presidential election
of 1920. Assuming that the war will be over.
the Senator predicts that the contest will
be between Wilson and Roosevelt and will
turn on the personalities Of the two men.
The Democrats will take their stand on the
fact that Wilson won the war; the Repub-
hcans, on the fact that Roosevelt made Will
son win it. AS to such issues as America s
new place in the international scheme, the
decentralization Of the armies and the war in
dustries, public ownership, labor policy, tax
alton, both parties will dodge them. This
forecast is not altogether unreasonable. The

ing better than campaign turning on
points Of history. For generation after the
Civil War such leaders were making their
living out of fighting it's battles over at the
polls. They would welcome similar oppor-
tunity in the new age But according to
Senator Borah s own premises, the conven-
tional leaders are not to be in command of
either of the parties. Whoever the actual
candidates are to be, Wilson and Roosevelt
are party statesmen first of all and only
incidentally party politicians. Both men
realize that the future belongs to the party
that succeeds nj pre-empting the vital issues
that are to command the loyalty Of the ma

In it's congressional programme the Soci-

pies announced by the party in 1915 are re-
affirmed whatever that may mean, Gin all
that concerns the settlement Of this war the
American Socialist party is in general ac-
cord with the inter-Allied conference
Those who have regarded the American So
cialists as doctrinary pacifsts may find it
interesting to examine the principles of the
inter-Allied conference to which the Social
lists now subscribe: Belgium shall be liber-
ated and compensated, Poland shall be Gre
constituted in unity and independence with
a free access to the sea- Throughout Eur
ope, from Alsace-Lorraine to the Balkans,
those populations that have been annexed by

League Of Nations with full power to settle
all disputes, by force, where necessary and
all nations adhering to it must be completely
democratized, with the government absolute
ly responsible to the people, more especially
as regards the control of foreign affairs
"The conference condemns the handing back
to the Systematically cruel domination of
the Turkish government any subject peo-
pie" The conference does not propose to
dismember Austra-Hungary, but the claims
of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs can
not be regarded as questions for internal de-
cison. National independence ought to be
granted them if they desire it. The confer
ence proposes to set up Court of Claims
and Accusations under the League for
full judicial investigation Of acts Of cruelty,
oppression and violence in the course Of the
war Until all this is achieved the inter-
