SHIPYARD
Seven Concrete Ships Will Be Build
at Cost of About Six Million Dollars
Plant Will Cost $4,000, 900.
Washington Dispatch, April S.

Growing need for oil carriers caus-
ed the shipping board to decide today
to begin as soon as possible the con-
struction. of a fleet of steel barges,
ocean-going tugs and copcrete tanl.
steamers to replace the large NUM-
Der OF tankers taken from the Mexi-
can coas5Wise service for trans-At-
lantic trade. It is estimated that Is
additional steamers are required.
Seven of the concrete ships will he
built at Wilmington, N. c., Chairman
Hurley announced today, the board
having selected Wilmington as the
site of a new yard in the South. Three
of these ships will be of $500 tons
and four Of 1900 tons.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
will build the new yard, which has
three ways. The Shipping Board is so
we'll pleased with a concrete ship just
built for it on the Pacific coast that
it intends to enlarge considerably the
concrete ship building program. Con-
crete ships can be built in less time
than can wood or steel vessels.

resentative Goodwin held a conference
this morning with the U. S. shipping
board and Immediately gave out the
following statement:
"The government will build ship.
yard at Wilmington. Plans are now
being prepared for that purpose anc
! as soon as completed the construction
of the yard will begin. The construc.
| tion work will cost about $1,000,OOO
The shipping board expressed the
hope that Wilmington would be rea
sonable in the purchase of a site AM
they were assured no exhorbitant
prices would be charged.
| The Government will construct sew.
en- concrete ships, the first three o1
$500 tons each and the other foul
$500 tons each. The cost to co"struc1
all these will be about $6,000,000
There will be payroll during the con
struction of these seven ships of some
thing like $3,000,0O0. The shipyare

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

Second Phase of Great SOmme Battle
Has Died Down and French and
British Have More Than Held Their
Own-Allied Commander is Biding
His Time.
This mornings Associated Press
summary gives the following:
The second phase Of the great battle
along the Somme, which the Germans
began on Thursday last, has died
down. 1t lasted less than three days
and the fighting has resolved itself
into more or less isolated engagements
in which the French and British al
lies have more than held their own
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone which, ap-
parently they are attempting to en-
large for the purpose of getting elbow
room in which to move their vast
masses of troops. Meanwhile, Gener-
al Foch, the commander-in-c of
the Allies, is biding his time, meeting
the German assaults with powerful re-
sistance and here and there conform
ing his lines to the necessities of the
battle. It is confidently stated at
Paris that Foch will not, be drown into
any false move-where each move
is of such vital importance-but will
strike with his reserves at the mo-
ment chosen by him.
There may be some significance in
the report that the German Emperor
after a conference on the western
front on Saturday with his chiefs, vor
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, intends
to proceed to Rumania. At the out.
set of the great offensive, when il
was sweeping the allied forces before
it, Notwithstanding thir tenacious re.
sistance, Emperor William, it was an.
nounced officially from Berlin, was ir
supreme command. That announce
ment was regarded at the time as evi
dence that the Emperor expected {
complete and decisive victory. Since
then, however, British, French anc
American reinforcements have come
up.

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Gaxernnenf Justified In Stimulation
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Production-Sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a very large part OF
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to AMI
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than s per cent and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the y. s.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1913 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277 $4,000, en- increase Of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.
