u. s. SETTING SHIP
BUUDMGRECORD.
HURLEY ASSERTS

Notwithstanding the difficulties OF
organization, the. handicaps of bad
weather conditions. transportation
ambargoes, and railroad congestion,
nearly as much tonnage has been
constructed in American yards in the
last three months as by all of the
other maritime nations of the world
combined"
This is the keynote OF a speech
delivered by Edward y. Hurley,
chairman of the Shipping Board, be-
fore the National Marine League in
New York last night.
The speech brings clearly before
the people of the United States the
opening of a new epoch in our mari
time history. 1t lays the entire ship
building program and its accomplish
ments before the public and effec-
lively answers the criticism that has
been heaped on the shipbuildinS or
ganization for many months.
Lays Cards On Table.
Mr.. Hurley, in his own words,
lays the cards on the table--face
up" He gave a complete analysis Of
the ship situation, and for the first
time a comprehensive summary OF
the ships and shipyards built and
building.
One Of his most significant utter
ances was that opposing the con-
scription Of labor. He expressed the
faith that the shipworkers OF the ma
ton would do their part for America
in the war without compulsion,
though he admitted there were many,
and some few leaders, who had failed
to see their duty and their obliga-
ton.
After visualizing in brief the war
needs Of America: the chairman said:
so il all comes back to ocean
transportation-to the vital need of
ships. Fail there and we fail utterly.
THE handicaps have been many.
We were not a maritime nation. Our
flag had almost vanished from the
seas, and with the exception OF q
few widely scattered ship yards. mer-
chant marine construction had al
most become a lost art with us.
When we took hold of this job
OF shipbuilding. we found there was
no shipyard, in existence with which
we couldd place an order. The old
yards, with their trained force of
shipbuilders, were filled to capacity.
Seventy per cent of their space was
taken by the enlarged naval pro-
gram. The remainder OF the space
was taken by the orders which had
been placed BY American owners. and
by foreign owners, who. pressed for

There are so many instances of he
role deeds performed under fire In res
cuing the wounded that 1t would take
several books to chronicle them, but /
have to mention one instance per-
formed by a chaplain, Captain Hall by
name, In the brigade on our left, be-
cause It particularly appealed to me.
A chaplain is not a fighting man: he
is recognized as a noncOmbatant and
carries no arms. In charge or trench
raid the soldier gets feeling Of con-
fidence from contact with his rifle, re-
volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can infiict
harm on the enemy-in other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed.
and is at the mercy of the enemy IL
he encounters them, so it is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to so over in a charge, but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind of fire. each time re-
turning with wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
a bullet through his left arm. but never
reported the matter to the doctor until
late that night--just spent his time ad
ministering to the wants of the wound
ed lying on stretchers.
The chaplains of the British army
are fine, manly set of men. and arc
greatly respected by Tommy.
