Washington. April 3.


An appropriation of s5O,OOO,OOO will
be asked Of Congress within few days
to enable the United States Shipping
Board to carry out an experimental
program with concrete ships.
Chairman i. ~ Hurley and Charles

with Senators Simmons and McCumber
and received assurances of their support.
The shipping board plans. IL the ap-
propriation is granted, to construct five
additional yards three along the south
Atlantic coast and two on the Pacific,
for the construction Of concrete ships
to be used as tankers in the coastwise
trade and for naval purposes
1t has been made plain by officials Of
the shipping board that the work will
he In the nature Of an experiment for
which Congress can grant the money or
not as 1t chooses. Reports which have
been received from the concrete ship
recently launched on the Pacific coast
have convinced the officials that such
vessels are practicable, but they wish
to build some on their own account for
further tests
r. J. Wigs, Of the Shipping Board,
has prepared plans for a 3500-ton con-
crete tanker that have been approved by
all experts to whom they were submit
ted and II is estimated that construc-
tion would be begun within a short time
after Congress has granted the appro-
prlation.

MULES DESERT MINES
TO HELP BEAT KAISER
Operators FacevSerious Situation Be-
cause of Patriotic Animals Gal
lop to the Trenches

Anthracite mine operators are ready to
admit that the mule has a kick A
statement today by the Anthracite
Operators Committee has this to say:
The mule problem is now kicking
the anthracite industry in the face be-
cause Uncle Sam wants to kick the
Kaiser out of France.
THE mule situation has become a
complex problem by degrees until to-
day il has reached a pressing need
With the lack of mules their market
price has increased which. in itself be-
comes a large factor In anthracite
production.
The shortage has arisen through the
demands of the war. In some sections
electricity has been substituted for the
mule, and sooner or later II will throw
the mule out Of his longtime Job, but
mining companies are not ready to re-
lease the mule entirely from his arduous
duties.
"The few mules obtanable by the
mining companies must be trained to
the work Of hauling coal and this en-
tails loss in production, time and
money"

MARCH BEGINS SHIFTS
IN WAR DEPARTMENT
Wheeler, Acting Ordnance
Chief, and Williams, in
France, Transferred
Washington, April ..

Washington, April ..
Announcement was made by the
War Department that Brigadicr General
Charles y. Wheeler, acting chief Of ord
nance, is to be sent to France and that
he is to be succeeded by Brigadier Cen
eral Clarence e. Williams. now in charge
Of ordnance with the cXpcditionary
forces
The announcement came as a surprise,
but it was stated it is due to the new
policy of the department TO have wher-
ever possible officers with actual linowl-
edge of conditions in France In charge
of important bureaus. General Wheeler
and General Williams will exchange as
signments, and the change, it was held,
Is not in any way a reflection on the
manner in which General Wheeler has
administered the ordnance department
since he was selected following the de-
tail of Major General William Crozier,
the titular chief Of ordnance, as a mem
ber of the war council
The decision to send General Wheeler
TO France is i'm line with the policy of
Major General Peyton G. March, chief
of staff to shirt the entire personnel Of
the general STAFF corps so that it will
be composed entirely Of men now with
General Pershing, the present officers Of
the corps to be given field duty.
Wherever possible similar changes are
to be made in important bureau posi-
tions. as General March believes an Of
fcer familiar with actual conditions at
the front is better qualified to meet the
numerous problems reaching his desk in
Washington.
Major General George w Goethals,
acting quartermaster general probably
will not be sent abroad due to his pccu-
liar fitness for the numerous tasks he is
dlScharging, but the shifts will be made
i'm his division wherever the general
staff believes the administrative or
ganiz3tion here would be benefited. The
majority Of the officers in Washington,
especially those of the permanent eStab-
lishment, are eager for foreign service.
officials asserted that where suc..
changes are made IL Is unfair TO draw
. the conclusion they mean attacks on the

MORE MEAT, LESS COST,
AIM OF COMMISSION
U. S. Operation of Packing
Plants Believed Remote,
but Considered
washington, April ..

The question Of Government opera
zion Of packing plants went on the dis
secting table today
The new meat commission, appointed
by President Wilson at the request Of
Food Administrator Hoover, met here
to plunge into the twin problems OF in
creasing meat production and holding
down prices.
While prospects of actual Government
operation of packing plants is believed
to be remote, radical steps may never
theiess result from the probe now on.
Investigators will consider both pack
ing and livestock industries from the
point Of view of meat prices, producing
costs labor shortage. transportation
dificuities. speculation and marketing
and middlemen's margins.
If meat famine In Europe and at home
Is to- be averted. beef and pork pre-
duction must be boosted tremendously
and without delay, experts declare. De-
partment Of Agriculture officials openly
admit the meat solution is unsatisfac-
tory; stockmen declare they are losing
money, and food administration officials
concerned with distribution and prices
openly fear flights on retail prices that
would mean no meat for the laboring
populations who. need IL most. Prompt
action win avert danger, stockmen hold.
More than 100000 meat animals
were added TO Americas food resources
last year, but the number OF cattle is
sfill 5000, 900 head short of that ten
years ago. Population growth has leaped
$4,000, 900 and beef exports have treb-
led In the last decade. Per capita con-
sumption OF meat has increased. Pork

Fewer Lobster Fishermen.

An Augusta (Me.) correspondent
says that seven hundred fewer fisher
men renewed their licenses to catch
Holsters this year than last year, this
falling off being due to various causes.
Thus far this year Oscar II. Dunbar,
the commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries, has received the applications
from 3,193 men who wish to fish the
seas. The high cost of the lumber,
lath and Irvine that go into the traps,
together with the increased price OF
gasoline, has caused many Of the fish,
ermen to 60 out of the business.

He had set the old man on fire with
enthusiasm over his pet hobby. For
an hour Mr.. Bartelme expOunded his
theories, examined the manuscript and
overwhelmed Prescott with praise for
an honest endeavor to be Of some use
to mis- fellow men.
"Trescott," he said, warmly, almost
affectionately, II have underestimated
you. 1 will make you proposition!
Let me collaborate with you on this
work and I'll pay handsomely, just for
the opportunity to interest myself in
something worth while!"
"Why, is it really worth your whilef'
questioned Prescott, obviously.
"What! to make waste time worth
something; to get back into genuine
working harness? See here-I've got
a big, lonely house. Marry that sweet

Earle Prescott read the name with

unwittingly allowed the newspaper to
slip to the floor. He glanced at the pile
of manuscript lying on the desk at
which he had been writing, and picked
up the fountain pen beside it, glancing
at it refectively, as though in some
way it connected with the announce
ment he had just read.
81 would like to see Mr.. Bartelme,"
he soliloQuized, "but 1t would hardly
do" and he looked down at his rather
threadbare attire. Besides, he has
probably long since forgotten me-"
In the past, however, he had remem-
bered him. Trescott had been his ste
nographer for year, had been pleas
antly enough treated by the dilletante
millionaire and had been paid fairly
for his labors. About a month after
this employment had ceased, Mr.. Bar
feline happened to come into sta
toner's where Trescott was buying
some copy paper.
"Glad to see you, Treseott," he spoke
pleasantly. 'Tve missed you since l

Prescott did so. He flushed with

chased also its counterpart and pre-

Then Prescott had come to the city
to try his fortunes. He had heard OF
