quired TO do the work, Z" asserted Charles
NJ. Schwsb, general manager OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, at a
testimonial banquet given him at the
Hotel dupont last night by officials OF
the Harlan plant OF the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation.
So urgent is the need for ships, Mr..
Schwab said, that all shlpyards
throughout the country viii be kept
busy for the next few years.
THE time OF emergency ships, when
anything that could float was accepted,
Is passed. We are now entering upon
new era, when large, well construct
ed ships are needed at the most eco
nomical figures. With the wonderful
shipbuildlng facilities this country has,

ing centre in the world The industry

velopment OF the work in the future"
Declaring that the premature peace
rumors circulated Thursday were re-
grettable, Mr.. Schwab said, he believed
an early peace would be concluded.

Mr.. Schwab, accompanied BY. w.
Powell. vice-presldent OF the Bethlehem
Shipbullding Corporation. arrived here
yesterday afternoon for an inspection
tour OF the Harlan plant, which is a
subsidiary OF the Bethlehem Corpora

Their visit was the occason OF an I'm
pressing patriotic demonstration by
the thousands Of employees. A huge
American flag, the largest OF Its kind
In the eastern part OF the country, ef-
cept one at Washington, was presented
TO the company by the men. Concealed
under the folds OF "0ld Glory" were
2i white doves. and as the flag caught
the breeze, they flew skyward, In sig
nincation Of the peace that is almost
here.
Mr.. Schwab and the officials OF the
company spoke. Patriotic selections
were played by the Harlan Band
The banquet in the evening, where
again Mr. Schwab was the principal
speaker. was attended only by foremen,
superlntendents and ofllcials Of the
Harlan plant. ]. B. Weaver, general
manager Of the company. presided.
The real secret OF shipbuildlng, Mr..
Schwab told the diners. was not so

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-ConfusIon and
uncertainty already exist throughout
the country regarding what is to hap
pen In the matter Of the draft and other
military activities going on. The War
Department and every other govern
ment agency began 10 stagger yester-
day under tons OF messages from every
quarter asking for enlightenment. They
poured In from the big industrial cen
ters all day long, Thursdays extraor-
binary demonstration having stimulated
many OF them.
Secretary Baker was besieged by
newspaper correspondents yesterday
with inquiries regarding the govern
ment's plans, but the secretary de-
clined fatty TO make any announcement
until the armistice had been signed He
did. however, deny that any orders had
gone forth holding up draft calls or in
terfering with the selective process now
being conducted by local boards. The
report that the draft would be stopped
he refused 10 affirm or deny.
That the government already had be-
gun 10 cancel many contracts Mr.. Baker
also denied.
$50 far as I know" said Mr.. Baker,
there has been not a single contract
cancelled on account Of the pendency Of
the armistce. The government Is can
ceiling contracts all the time In the
ordinary course OF business for which
the present situation is in no wise re-
sponsible."
Little doubt is felt here that the sign

in instantly hating the calls Of drafted
men 10 the camps but also in shutting
down on troop shipments. II was>re-
