Emergency Period in Shipbuild-
ing is Past.

A general revision of the shipbuilding
program, affecting the output of steel as
well as wood vessels, appears at hand.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping board
is quoted as saying in Philadelphia that
the time to begin easing up on construc-
ton has come At the same time Di-
rector General Schwab of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation declared:
I'VE are no longer meeting an emer-
gency now, as the emergency period is
past. What we are striving for now is
economy and permanency of production.
Economic permanency should now be the
slogan.
"Taken in connection with the impor-
tant conferences last week, which it is
now known had to do not only with the
curtailment of wooden shipbuilding, but
also concerned readjustment of the steel
program, these utterances are regarded
as significant
''The time has come" Mr.. Hurley
stated, when we must begin to ease up.
This easing up process must beapplied to
steel ships as well as wooden ones, but as
the number of wooden ships already COM
pleted added to the number contracted
for and which shall be constructed, will
fill the demand for ships of that kind, we
are curtailing production beyond that
point. Therefore the wooden ship pro-
gram will be completed by the end of
1919, as we are making no contracts to
run into 1920"
Mr.. Hurley added that in the process
of elimination of certain of the shipbuild-
ing projects those shipyards showing
very small production or which have
failed to maintain the required standard
of industrial efficiency will of course come
first. The shipping board has already
cancelled contracts for so 2, 500-ton wood
en- barges and like number of tugboats
to haul them.
Just where the cutting will hit the steel
ship program is still in doubt, but it is
known that some of the small yards are
not functioning to the entire satisfaction
OF officials, and they will probably be al
1ected in the not distant future.

a discovery in ship building that will
revolutionize the industry, was ante

Victors In the Air.

Entente air supremacy is admitted IN
German documents recently captured. A
German battalion report captured on the
Flanders front says:
enemy airmen are absolutely masters
in the air here. They are far more num-
erous than ours. They carry out thelI

Remarkable Tactics,

In "ground flying" tactics the pilot
acts mainly on his own personal in
itiative, and he must be prepared to
attack the enemy wherever he may be
found, either with bombs, grenades,
darts or machine gun fire. Thus Ger
man officers in charge of ammunition
dumps have every reason to fear the
approach of British slow fliers." The
fear of machine-gun fire is even great
er, and whole German regiments have
been decimated and moraliZed by
British airplanes.

Household Fuel Coal Situation.

At recent meeting of the Fuel Con-
seryation Bureaus of New England the
Federal Fuel Administrator plainly stat
ed that there was a serious shortage IN
anthracite coal of the sizes adapted to
domestic use. There seems to be little
reason for thinking that those who have
received the two-thirds of their usual
supply will have any more at any time
during the winter or the spring. Acute
as the household fuel coal situation was
last year, it bids fair to be still worse this
winter.
Would it not be wise for somebody in
officialdom to find out the facts? We have
had a surfeit of transformation about

A Song of the Hun Hunters.

The skipper stood upon the bridge, and
blood was in his eye;
SEE he: GWEN get the blinking Hun, or
know the reason why"
So he threw her over, and off we went,
hell bent on the starboard leg,
And when we made the slick of oil the
Old Girl dropped her egg.
The Old Girl dropped an egg, my boys,
And then dropped several more;
And the Huns down in that submarine
Will never get to shore.
Will never get to shore, my boys,
It's goodbye, Ger-ma-nee;
For every egg the Old Girl drops
Is filled with T. N. I.
Songs of the Hun Hunters.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
TED.

notice in your Department you speak
of krag rifles being found not very amen
able to the use of Mobilubricanr on the
bullets fired in them. Does this apply to
all krags?
O. A. S.. Trenton, A. 7.
No. Moreover, in clubs reporting that
their Krags shot worse when grease was
used on the bullets than they did when
it was not, it may be that too much
grease was used 1t is a matter for the
individual rifleman to find out for him.

What Is the best way to make duck
blind and what kind of material would you
recommend for hunting In the Dune Park
section?
sly, Chicago, III.
Depends largely upon the spot selected.
You will do best to build your blind out
of material at hand where you put out
your decoys, and should make it as In
conspicuous as possible, especially re-
membering that 1t will be viewed fro m
aloft and likewise with suspicion ii 1T
appears where no such structure-pre-
appeably a arowth-would be if Naturt
were the builder. A muskrat house, OF
which there are some in the ponds where
YOU intend to hunt, makes good hiding
place even though conspicuous, because
muskrat houses belong in the picture, SO
to speak. Wire netting and burlap are
both useful under some circumstances,
for example, when natural blind material
is scarce and hard to use to good advant-
age. But the man who builds the most
successful blinds will generally be found
to use only the camouflage he is able to
gather on the spot. Incidentally, the
ability to sit still in a thin blind is as
valuable to the hunter as anything he
possesses; ducks that might not see you
at twenty yards if you keep still, will
yeer off long before coming into range II

Putting ON the Brakes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Cancellation
of contracts for $4,000, 900 worth of
troopships which were to have been built
at new government shipyard at Alameda,
Cal, and the stopping of the work of
building at that plant were announced
today by Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board. Work on the yard began
early last July. Decision not to build
the troopships was reached some three
weeks ago. MI. Hurley said that it was
realized that they could not be delivered
before 1920 and would be Of little use in
the military program.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. There will be
no coal famine the coming winter, nor
even an approach to the hardships of last
winter, Fuel Administrator Garfield an
nounces, but the public must continue
to cooperate with the fuel commission
in conservation methods, as far more
coal is needed now than in normal times.
DR.. Garfield, in statement on the pres
ent outlook, says the nations fuel sup
plies, assembled in preparation for an I'M
usually severe winter, are adequate and
well distributed; that coal stocks on hand
are greater than ever before and that
more domestic coal is now in the hands
of consumers and dealers than at the
corresponding period in normal years.

WHAT A RED CROSS REST STA.
TION REALLY is

What is a Red Cross rest station?
Ask the American soldier or sailor in
France. He can tell you. But may
be you have not been to France nor
seen a returned soldier. In that event
let us tell you, briefly. Rest stations
are made up of from two to four
barracks, 40 to 100 feet long. They
include infirmaries fully equipped;
dispensaries; rest and reading rooms +;
dormitores holding from 40 to 200
beds, with shower baths and disin-
fectors and restaurants capable in
some cases of giving refreshments to
a thousand men in an hour. Here our
men have properly prepared food, the
welcome of American men and wo-
men and a comfortable place to pass
those tiresome s~top-overs on the way
to their final destination. The staff
includes a manager, several volun-
teer workers and in some cases a
trained nurse.
This is part of the work which the
Red Cross is doing cover There" and
which has to be paid for by those of
us who stay at home. When the sec

LETTER FROM CORPORAL
ROWAN
Dear Sis:

Dear Sis.
AS I am on Especial Duty and am
not doing anything today will take
advantage of the opportunity to ans
wer a few of your questions and give
you an idea Of what service on the
border is like.
To begin with, the climate is the
most Objectionable feature of this
latitude. The thermometer stands at
102 today in the shade, but that is
one item on the "bill of fare we sell
dom get the benefit of. However
when we are off duty we find the
parks, movies, ETC., to be considerable
recreation.
AS for excitement, I've been here
almost a year as you know, and there
seems to be no such thing. That's
one reason every man in the Regi-
ment wants to go to France. l have
an idea we may be marching toward
Mexico City before we leave for
France, though, as German propa-
ganda seems to be obtaining a rather
firm hold with certain factions IN
Mexico. / only hope the opportunity
presents itself for an invasion of that
scope of ''sage-brush and cactus,
That's practically all there is to be
see anywhere on the border. Inc
Texas Rangers have had some little
~"sport'' within the past few weeks
as a result of bandit raids on ranches
both northwest and southeast OF here
but they don't seem to have any de-
sire to try anything in this imme-
date vicinity, which is just as we'll,
really better for them of course.
uppos we will be going out on
target range in May. 1t will surely
be great, lying out on the nice warm
sand, amongst the cactus thorns, IN
the shade of our hats, with the ther-
mometer lowering around 115. 1t
has to be done though, so there Will
be very little kicking i%ncidently.
We have received strict orders to
allow no Mexican to cross the river
way. Some few have tried 1t
already but as a result they were last
seen floating down the Rio Grande.
They don't seem to be able to dodge
a bullet from a Springfield to any
great extent.
| understand the Colonel has or
dered maneuvers for next Thursday.
It's a safe bet that the temperature
will be above 100, as it always is.
leave camp before daylight and
get back some time in the night usu-
ally.
Well I suppose l will have to close
as | see the mail orderly coming.
AS ever, Bud.

WORK OF RED CROSS IN ORGAN

Under the plan of organization OBJ
tanning in the United States army,
an ambulance company consists of
five officers, 119 enlisted men with II

Of equipping an ambulance company

Fortgave such companies have
been organized by Red Gross Chap

signed to camps and cantonments and
some have re-organized for work in
