GREATEST MERCHANT MA
RINE OF ANY NATION
TO LINK PEOPLES.

South Bend Ind, June IL
America in 1920 will have mer-
chant marine OF 25,000000 dead
weight tons, Chairman Hurley OF
the shipping board. declared here
last night in an address giving the
most complete statement OF the ma
tion's shipbuilding program which
has yet been made public. He was
speaking to ,he graduates of Notre
Dame university.
This fleet, Mr.. Hurley said, the
largest ever assembled in the his
tory of the world and involving the
expenditure OF more than five bill
lion dollars, and will link the Unit
ed States to South and Central
America by weekly steamer service
which will enable the Latin Amer-
can countries to utilize their un-
limited natural resources in the
freest competition with other ma
tions.
1t also will bridge the Pacific for
the transportation of products OF
Japan, Russia, China Australia and
the orient and will continue to pro-
mote American trade with Europe.
With it all, he added, American
ships will serve humanity Loyalty
and unselfishly on the same prn-
ciples of liberty and justice which
brought about the establishment of
this republic
The vast merchant fleet we
are building" Mr.. Hurley said,
must become the greatest instru-
ment of international probity, hon
esty and squaredealing at the close
of the war. 1t must become the
vast and vital machine whereby
America will prevent the oppres-
sion of the weak by the strong; the
crushing OF right by might"
Mr.. Hurley said he and Director
General Schwab of the emergency
fleet corporation expected the ship
ping output this year to be 100000
deadweight tons, while next year

turning out 3,5lS,000 deadweight
tons, more than Great Britain, here
tofore the greatest builder of ships,
has completed in any five years OF
her history.

Hun Proposes Plan For
Germany To Swallow
All Of "MHtel Europa .

Amsterday, June ll.-Permanent
economic and military union be-
tween Germany and Austro- Hun
gary with the gradual disappear
ance of customs duties and from
tiers" is proposed by Friedrich Won
Payer, imperial vice-chancellor Of
Germany, in statement published
in the Neue Erie Presse OF Vienna
and quoted in the Vossische lei
tung of Berlin.
Included in this scheme of a
"Mittel Europa under domination
of the Germanic powers, are Russia,
Poland, Bulgaria and Turkey.
In his statement, the vice chan
cellor said in part:
"The present form of the alliance
is inadequate. In view of the fact
that vital questions are concerned,
the duration of the alliance must not
depend continually on the feelings
at the moment.
Successive treaties of short dura-
ton lapse. The union must be so
intimate that the idea of separation
practically would be out of the ques-
ton and the central gravity of the
must be laid in an economic
union"
Herr Won Payer said that the ad-
vantages OF such union would be
increased if Poland and the north
ern border states were joined eco
nomically' with the central empires.
They would be enhanced enormous
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-06-11

ly if, in loose form, Russia and
Bulgaria, and perhaps Turkey, also
participated.
The vice-chancellor continued:
All must finally become great
united region of intercourse with
uniform interests. Concurrently
with the gradual disappearance of
customs duties and frontiers there
must be unihcation of far-reach-
ing approachment (agreement) of
economic legislation especially trade
and industrial tariffs and the care OF
labor. Certain forms of indirect
taxation must be outlined similarly;
and railways, waterways and other
means of communication must have
been made to serve the common in
terests.
Such cooperation, however, is
only to be thought Of in conjunction
with the maintenance OF the political
independence OF the empires con-
cerned, while mutual considerat
and united action in connection with
questions of foreign policy are nee
essary.
Political cooperation must be
supported by an understanding on
military questions. If the states are
bound together by a treaty of pro-
lection they must bear proportion
ately the burdens of this protection,
and all would then have an identical
interest in the simplifcaton and ap-
propriate extension of military in
stitutions."

HALF HIS LIFE
SPENT IN ARMS
THIRTY-YEAR-OLD VETERAN
TO LECTURE AT CHAU-
TAUQUA.

One OF the greatest patriotic
meetings ever held here will take
place when Capt. David Fallon
speaks at the chautauqua, which
opened at Convention Hall last
night. Captain Fallon has been
speaking through the East and in
California and leading citizens of
every community have been pro-
claiming him the greatest war lee
turer on the platform.
Captain Fallon was born in Ire
land. He says he is a member of
that race that believes amy old
kind of a fight is better than no
fight at all Since being invalided
a year ago he has been war editor
of the New York Herald. He is
the author of "The Big Fight" said
by many to be the most thrilling
and authentic book yet written on
the war.
War Record Remarkable.
His war record is remarkable. He
is now only thirty years OF age, yet
he has been in military service thir-
teen years. He joined the British
army ip 1904 and saw service in
Africa two years later. He was in
India from 1906 to 1911. The Aus
tralian military academy claimed
his attention from 1911 to 1914 when
he went into the great war.
After the evacuation of the Gal
ipoli peninsula, where Fallon was
one of 43 survivors out Of 900 men,
he was attached to the Oxford light
infantry with which he saw service
in Belgium and on the Somme.
While accommodating behind the
enemys lines in the Somme CAM
paign he was bombed" losing the
use of his right arm, but he man
aged to kill his assailants and Sc
cured the information he was after.
Then for three days he lay in no
mans land with three cakes of choc-
olate and two biscuits as his only
food, sometimes actually up to his
neck in mud in order to hide him
self from Germans who crawled
within few feet of him. For the
exploit he was called to Bucking-
ham palace and honored by King
George with the military cross.
Is Good Prophet"
That Captain Fallan knows
whereof he speaks is evident from
the fact that in Philadelphia last
September he declared the United
States would have to put 100000
men into the field-which is exact
ly the statement made by Secretary
OF War Baker in April upon his re-
turn from France. Other statements
made by him at that time are:
Il think the war will end in 1920
In 1919 We shall advance into Ger
man territory. Then the fever will
be in our men and nothing will stop
them until they have laid Germany
as waste as Belgium has been laid
waste by the Huns,
Il have seen little children in Bel
GUM and France pinned to the
walls with bayonets. | have seen
Mother Superior crucified on the
door OF convent.
We are fighting nation with
out a soul and I'm going to do my
share in awakening this nation to its
tremendous duty"
Captain Fallon's lecture, Fight
ing Through Hell' or The Big
Fight" will be given Friday night.

lows. |
