James Douglas Tells About Conditions in France at
 Great Meeting Held In Christian Church Here

There is no use for us to think that by force of American armies" declared James Douglas last evening at the Central Christian church before 1,500 people who had gathered to hear this prominent Arizonian who recently re- turned from France give a few of his impressions of the great conflict.
 Germany cannot be starved out" Mir. Douglas continued. After four years of fighting she is as strong as ever. She has the oil fields, the wheat fields the iron and coal fields to sup ply her people and armies as long as she cares to continue the war"
 His Work in France
 Judge Sloan, who introduced the speaker. told how MT. Douglas left his great business interests to go to France to care for the great ware houses of the American Red Cross. How he had given to this huge work his unusual business ability and from chaos brought strict order The death of his father brought Mir. Douglas back to this country. and while on his way to Jerome he had been persuaded to stop over in Phoenix for an evening and give the people here some first hand information in regard to France and the war
 Not All Pleasant
 Mir. Douglass talk was unusually interesting. Admittedly not an orator, the things he told the large audience carried weight from that fact He told plain things in a plain manner but what he had to say was taken to heart. Some of them were not entirely pleasant. but all were forceful and honest with the truth of self -knowl- edge.
 "I went to France with no specific job" said MT. Douglas. T had beer promised no particular position, but had letters to Major Murphy ant Major Perkins, the American and Brit ish commissioners. and was first tolt 1o look into the coal situation, to set if the supplies of coal bought by tn, Red Cross were sufficient for the win ter and for all the purposes.
 That work did not take all m, time" said the speaker, and I busieC myself in finding out the real condi tions of the war in Europe. The i'm d last but short time was prevalent il America. Some thought it would las three months. others that it might g, little time longer. and these impress sions by people who should hav known better.
 Partner Went, Too
 As a matter of fact" declared MT Douglas, T learned that this crooke, dope on the probable length of the wa emanated from Germany. German propaganda has lone more toward winning this war for Germany thai anything else. It was very dangerous and We still are suffering from tn effects of it."

Piez Says We Depend Greatly on
 Foreign Labor

Washington, Feb. 6.-Responsibility ernment's shipbuilding program was put on labor today by Charles Piez, 1 vice president and general mana ger of the Emergency Fleet Corporation in an appeal for shipyard workers. ''The shipping board has the neces- sary yards, the materials, and the money he said All that is lacking [ is a spirit in the nation that will send a quarter of a million American mechanics into the yards to give the best and most efficient york;
 The fact that shipyards Are work ing only one shift six days a week was characterized by Mir. +Piez as mon StrouS."
 If we are to keep ahead of the submarine campaign," said he, "wc must run three shifts a day 53 weeks in the year.
 Mr. Piezs statement follows:
 Within 60 days huge government yards will be com Dleted and soon more than 6O,00O workmcn will be re- quired to furnish for them the three eight-hour shifts necessary if these '>NA N~' N'A V ~ NNhii o" oAihk'o oISoi OAtiS to schedule.
 'The shipping board has 716 ship ways. BOP are for wooden ships and 4f4 are for steel construction
 The yards in which they are es- tablished are only working on eight hour shift per day, six days a. week. This is monstrous If we are to keep ahead of the submarine we must run three shifts per day, 52 weeks in the year.
 Our program calls for the con- struction in 1918 of eight times tho tonnage delivered in 1916. at a cost of more than a billion dollars. The shipping board has the necessary yards, the materials and the money- all that is lacking is a spirit in the nation that will send a quarter of q million American mechanics into the wards to give their best and most efficient wori1.

The men are asked to appear before any member of the board sand make the necessary cor rectionS, in order that they may be returned a the earliest possible time.
 In most Of tho cases, tho papers were filled out by the rcgistrants without any aid of the advisory board and this alone accounts for the number of errors, The names of the reglstrants whose questionnaires have been returned are Giovanni Man zone, Romani Lanzoni, Gino Orinati, George Ferdinand Hultquist.
