City to Be Invested.

Second That while Metz, one Of
the most powerful land fortresses in
the world. must eventually be taken,
It can be invested and its value neu-
traizel By the continuation CT a drive
east Of II and on into Germany. Il is
known that, after the capture Of the
French in 1870, they began to recon
struct its defenses and have improved
them undoubtedly with reference to
the increased power of modern siege
guns.
Third: The road west of Metz will
be taken, ii was stated by a military
expert here today, for the manifest
reason that it was by that road the
Germans found their way easiest into
France in 1870.
Fourth; The terrain is in favor of
the easy. even if slow, advance of the
Americans in the march to Berlin.

SHIPBUILDERS
IN NEW RECORD
Steel Construction Reaches
Rate Of 5000. 900 Tons
Year.

WAsHINGro~. May oi~-Amerlcan ship
Yards are producing steel ships a; the
rate OF almost 100000 tons a year,
working on parity with the British
yards for the hrst time. For the tWent"-
three days of May l7i,46. tons OF steel
shipping haV. been turned over to the
shipping Board ready for operation
This rrnresen's tweuty-nine ships, or
more than one a day. and the rate Is in-
creasing steadily The daily average ~
deliveries for May to date has been
.,59+ tons.
Ship construction - running neck and
neck with subma rinc destruction. ac-
cording to latest available British and
American figures. ard the construction
rate in American ship yards is climbing
rapidly. The figures presented are for
steel only. There have been no deliv-
cries Of wooden ships yet. but more than
ATTY OF them have been launched and
deliveries on them soon will begin send
ing up the production figures.
On the basis OF steel ship deliveries
10 date the months output Of american
yards will be 237.s2O tons. or an annual
rate of o.733St0 tons for steel ships
alone. This rate is certain to increase
rapidly. The British yards have been
below 250.00o tons a month since Great
Britain entered the war. British con-
struction is just below 100000 gross
tons year, which il 100000 dead
weight ton.
The frs; years outturn from the
American yards bids fair to eAcecd the
expectations of officials oF the shipping
Board, Since the Hurley regime no dsl-
mite programme for American bni'dng
has been announced, Mr.. HureY has
made it II policy to avoid proTursrs, II
is known. however. that The shipping
hoard figured on 1000. 900 tons fr the
first year,
Four steel ships agsregat!ng $500
tons were delivered to the Shipping
Board yesterday.
Submarine sinkings have dwindled

100000 gross tons month. including

I ONDoN. May 24.-The cry
that is coming from the
khenish cities for an agreement
to cease air raids upon towns far
behind the battle front finds no
response here. On the contrary
the growing disposition to treat
the Germans in kind is becoming
more definite. The Evening
STANDARD says to-day:
THE air attacks on the British
military hospitals were deliber-
ately undertaken with the object
Of compelling a cessation of at
tacks on the towns Of Germany.
The German people stir uneasily
and theirA1eaders in this crime
know that the hour is approach
ing when Germany will meet
with just retribution.
"The hour draws near when
no town within 200 or 800 miles
Of the French frontier will be
immune to visits by powerful
British squadrons, against which
the enemy will have nothing ap-
preaching equality, leaving out
what France and America can
do.
Germany has had her turn;
it will be ours soon and no form
Of frightfulness which she can
practise against the British
wounded or civilians will avert
the punishment she has merited."
