UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, April 17.0Charles
M. Schwab, steel magnate and ship
builder, today began his task Of de.
veloping Americas merchant marine
Drafted into the service by Chair
man Hurley, of the shipping board
Schwab is counted on to realize Hur
ley's dream of great maritime trans
portation system for this country to
carry the forces to France that will
end the war.
Schwab will Immediately launch his
efforts for tremendously increased
production. He will visit yards per
sonally, get into contact with the
men-and is expected shortly to shake
up many present methods and work
ing specifications.
The building work will center on
steel ships of 5000 tons or more. The
smallest ship to be built after present
contracts expire will be a wooden yes
sci of 5000 tons and there will be only
a very small number Of these built IN
Pacific coast harbors where lumber is
available. There Is small chance OF
ships below this tonnae being used
auy place but in coastwise and West
Indian JTdue dleI eiiC wal
vessels are still in the experimental
stage.
The appointment Of Schwab to
most where he will have complete
supervision of ship building opera
tions was regarded here as dennlteiy
ending the discussion on the merits o.
wood and steel ships which broke ou'
in the Denman-Goethals controversy
nearly a year ago.
Schwab in addition to being one OF
the greatest figures in the steel world
is a practical ship builder.
With complete supervision OF oper
ations in yards throughout the coun'
try. he is expected to bring the snip
ming board out of the tangle into which
it has been plunged as a result or De
inc forced to compete with the wal
department and railroad admln1stra

This has been one OF the greates'
diff1cnlties in the way Of hurry1ns

Charles Piez. who has been acting
as Vice president and general manager
OF the Fleet corporation, will remain
az vice president. The manager post
has been abolished. Chairman Hurley
and other members of the shipping
hoard are not affected by Schwabs
appointment.
That William C. Grace, who Is
closely allied with Schwab, will also
he selected soon for an important posi-
tion in the shipping work was official
Iv indicated today. Grace's expert
ence in the shipping industry. it was
stated, will make him especially valu

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, April 17.--German
propaganda has slowed up production
of ships, aeroplanes and ordnance for
the American army and has caused
trouble in draft army training camps,
w. F.. Bloodgood, Milwaukee, declar-
ed today before the senate military al
fairs committee.
He was the first witness on Sen
ator Chamberlain's bill providing that
propagandists and spies be tried by
military authorities instead of civil
courts. He is acting chairman of the
Milwaukee council of defense and has
actively co-operated with the depart
ment of justice in running down enemy
agents in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
Bloodgood declared enemy agents
bought union cards and gave them to
unskilled men. who thus were able to
get work in ship yards and munitions
factories where their lack of training
seriously impeded production.
Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation Of Labor admit
ted to me this has been done" he said.
Rloodgood said many German agents
driven out Of Canada are In Washing
ton today going about their plotting
unhampered. In army camps printed
propaganda has been freely circulated.
In the thirty-second division, made up
of Wisconsin and Michigan men, diff.
culties were caused between officers
of Polish and German extraction,
Bloodgood said.
~ do not wish to convey the impress
sion we can't depend on these ON
GERS, because we can" said Bloodgood,
'sbut If the propaganda had not been
dealt with. bad situation might have
been created.
Bloodgood said it would be impos-
sible to get a jury in Wisconsin to con-
yict Victor Berger under indictment
on treason charges because twenty-five
per cent of the Wisconsin voters voted
for Berger in the recent senatorial
election.
"Their votes were obtained through
propaganda" said Bloodgood.
Most Of them are misguided. Be
cause the government lets Berger ana
men of his type go free, many persons
believe the government does not pun
ish them and consequently accepts
their propaganda as truth

deeming 1t the only way. TO deal with
spies and propagandists.
He cited many cases in which
through legal technicalities, crimina
