vent the landing of large forces In France. But
by its foul methods Of warfare 1t has already
sunk many millions Of tons OF ships Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up, but
have to provide a large further tonnage to
keep sending soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
dented Job Of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only part of what need. Later on those ships
will be necessary in bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and for
some time to come the movement is one of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States is the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor-
nous gain in exports shows how other ma
tons are increasingly looking to US to sustain
them.
Although exports may occasionally decline,
still the whole there is every probability Of
their increasing not only during the but
after the war. Large areas of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated Many Of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas of Russia. are in the
Germans possession Conditions in Russia
chaotic The western European allies produced
in 1917 about 800 100000 bushels less than the
nual pre-war average. There great drop

countries. Argentina. Australia and India

mand from allies in Europe for materials of
all kinds We have to supply coal. steel, oil, cot
ton. lumber. rails, locomotives and great guam
tity Of other products. After the when the
Job Of rehabilitattng Europe is put through the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac
tured material Of all kinds will be enormous We
shall also have to replensh the depleted herds Of
Europe from own cattle Ours, in fact, will
be the task Of supplying most Of the world
So 1t is clear that besides the millions of tons of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma
rne. In 1914 only S166.OOO,OO0 Of the more than
So 600 100000 of exports was carried In Amer-
can vessels. Even now great part Of the cargo
and passenger ships using are seized enemy
vessels or requisitioned chartered allied or
neutral vessels.
Not only on the Atlantic but on all oceans we
must have an abundance Of American ships.

lantic and Pacific oceans have been linked BY the

serve China. Japan. the Philippines,
Russia and Australia. All of these countries as
well as Central and South America have materials
or products which we need just as they need ours.
Australia recently had surplus stated to be
8OOOOOOOO bushels Of wheat and another big sur
plus in process of gathering. There was enough.
in fact to feed England and France for year.
But 1t was of practical use to the allies. There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia TO
England.
Last year there was surplus in Java Of LOCO
600 tons Of sugar which other parts Of the world
needing badly could not get because of lack of
ships
Great heaps Of coffee spelling on the East
Indian wharves. There shipping to move
it to other countries.
Pyrites which badly needed here, could not
be brought from Spain because of the want Of
ships.
These are but few examples Of what ship
famine means
Resides the many millions Of tons Of shipping
needed for the purposes already described, there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number of ships, tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastvise lake and inland waterway trans
portation, These Of the most vital impor
tance to the farmer. Our inland lake and coast
waterways can be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products and freight
of all kinds can be sent back the return
trip This transportation will be cheaper to
the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway
congestion.
In less than years time the accomplish
ments Of the United States shipping board have
been on an unprecedented scale. Where in 1917
there we're only 81 shipyard plants In the United
States, there are now 15S and more are be-
ing constantly established The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for $751;
900 deadweight tons Of Ships and has already
put in service S31, III deadweight tons Of new
shipping. This in addition to 2,O73S26 dead

wise water traffic From the small number Of
1925 men employed in American shipyards on
April l. 1917, the force Of shipbuilders in our
yards has now increased to 100000.
With this progress American farmers can look
forward to the certainty Of great merchant ma

their products the world and after

HARBOR FROZEN, COAL SHORTAGE
 AGAIN IS ACUTE

With the waterways again frozen solid and the supplies of soft and hard coal thousands of tons below the nor nal requirements, Bridgeport was to- day made dependent upon the rail- roads to keep the wheels of industry moving and the homes of thousands of families comfortable. Fuel Admin istrator Carl F. Siemon seemed some what discouraged when it was report ed to him today that only three car loads of bftuninous coal and one car load of anthracite were received by rail overnight.
 The Fuel Committee has not enough coal on hand to fill the orders taken yesterday, of which there were nearly 1900. The office at 142 Golden Hill street was closed today, on account of the continuous session yesterday. As a result several hundred applying today were turned away.
 Sufferings in the homes are on the increase, while the industrial situa- ton is worse than it was in Decem- Der. The few carloads arriving last week replenished the bins of several factories that are today again on the verge of closing.

 It was reported from New York, that the woman's whereabouts was up to the present unknown as she had moved away from the Brooklyn ad- dress where she was reported last week. Whether Ritch, her chauffeur, has accepted her invitation to spend the week end with the woman is not known, but it is broadly hinted that he may have gone to meet Mrs. Chap man in an endeavor to recover some of the money which she bilked his family out of.
