CONCRETE SHIPS
Will Be BUILT ON
Big SCALE BY THE
u. S. GOVERNMENT
Chairman Hurley Will Ask
$50,000,000 for New
Type of Ships

Washington, April 9.-Fifty million
dollars will be asked Of congress bs
Chairman Hurley Of the shipping
board for development of concrete
shipbuilding. The plan is to estab-
lish at once five government yards
two on the Pacific coast and three IN
the south.
Sites for the plants already are un-
der consideration and win be an
nounced shortly. The three in the
south probably will include one al
ready planned for Wilmington, n. G.
Transportation facilities and easy
access to cement and sand will gov
ern the selections.
The first vessels turned out by the
government yards will be 1880 toy
tankers, both for oil carriers and for
cargo in the present program Of
concrete vessels.
AS yet, concrete ships are admitted
frankly by experts to be "a gamble,
because the behavior of such a vessel
under load in a heavy sea, is I'M
known. Success in the experiment
is not guaranteed but Mr.. Hurley and
General Manager Piez of the emerg-
ency fleet corporation hold that in the
present emergency every possible
means Of adding quickly to American
tonnage should be utilized.
Greater chance of success is ex-
pected from the operation of con-
crete tankers because the liquid load
win constantly seek a level and not
entail the strain on the ship that
solid load would do in a heavy sea.
The concrete ship Faith, built on
the Pacific coast for private account,
is almost ready to undertake a vow
age. Engines probably will be in
stalled by May /.
Mr.. Hurley and Mr.. Piez conferred
yesterday at the capitol with Sena-'
tors McCumber and Simmons, both
of whom are understood to have
agreed that experiments on a large
scale with the new construction
should be made as soon as possible.
The $50,000,0 requested will be
spent almost entirely for ships, as
each yard can be built for perhaps
$25, 600
The yards will have from four to
seven ways each. Locations in the
west and south will be sought to
avoid moisture and cold which re-
tard concrete pouring. 1t is said
authoritatively that the Pacific coast
locations viii be in Southern Califor-
MIA
Plans for the new 1000 ton vessels
will be ready in six weeks. They |
will be equipped with il-burning /
reciprocating engines, capable OF /
driving the ship seven or eight knots /
IN hour which is regarded as fast /
enough for coastwise and nom
service.

Washington. April 3. - The FIRST
official indication that the govern
ment hoped to raise more than three
billion dollars from the third Liberty
Loan came today in a treasury state

four times as great, If it is possible to
do it, and let us at the same time
make the number of subscribers to

that will carry such disbursement
to the enemies of America and of
civilization as that twenty million
American citizens have subscribed

London. April An London was
talking today about the latest war
rumOr-the landing in England last
night Of an American airplane after
nonstop fight from New York
with twelve passengers. The authori-
ties declared there was no basis for
the story but this denial served mere
Is to give it additional currency.
According to popular version this
was the "big surprise" which Premier
Lloyd George said last week the
Americans would soon give the Gera
mans.

Americans would be brigaded with

Referring to the Turkish cam
paign, Mr. Lloyd George said two
Turkish armies had been destroy
ed, in Palestine and Mesopotamia.
German battalions mad been sent to
help the Turks in Palestine, thereby
relieving the western front.
The premier said the fight might
continue for seven or eight months.
For the British army and navy, he
stated, almost 100000 men had
been raised already.

Relieved of Charges.

Quite ripple of excitement spread
over the city last week when it was
reported that the superintendent OF
the City Schools, Mr.. 0. e. MCGEE,
had been extremely severe in the
punishment of one of the boys in
school. The young man is Billy
Walker, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. M.
Walker, and the lattcr preferred
charges and moved to have the Super
intendent arrested. Accordingly Mr..
MCGEE was arraigned before S. r.
Bratton, ]. P, at the City Hall Tues
day afternoon at o'clock. Some
fifteen of the pupils and teachers
altogether were examined. j. A.
Whipple represented the complain
ant and w. M. Miles the defendant.
without undertaking to quote the
evidence it may as we'll be said that
there seemed to be no doubt OF the
fact that Mr.. MCGEE had not exceed
ed his authority and that he had not
been unreasonable in tho measure OF
punishment imposed upon the young
man in question. This was the con-
clusion reached by Esq. Bratton,
who, upon the close of the evidence,
stated that the charges were unsup-
ported, and that while Mr.. Walker
and the family were his personal
friends he could not find anything in
the proof to convict the Superin-
tendent. The case was therefore dis
missed.

Tennessee Children's Home Society

The influenza epidemic has left a
large number of children homeless
thru the death of one or both par
ents. Many of these children have
been sent to the Tennessee Children's
Home Society where they are being
cared for until suitable homes can
be found for them. One particular
ly pathetic Gaze is reported. The
mother and father both died of in
fiuenza leaving seven children home
less and without relative who could
care for them. Among the children
were twins two weeks old. These
babies, now two months old, are at
the Receiving Home of the Society
waiting for some one to give them a
permanent home. There are many
others at the Receiving Home. both
boys and girls up to seven years of
age.
The Thanksgiving season inspired
many people to extend their love
and protection and the opportunity
for a chance in life, to these little
ones but many are left, and it is
hoped that others may be stirred by
the coming of the holy season of the
Christ child, the bright shadow of
which is already seen, to open their
doors to a little one who has suffered
the greatest of all losses-that of it's
