A GREAT BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION

American genius for practcal or
ganizatioh has never been shown so
clearly az since we entered the war.
This has been true OF the army no
less than OF civilian business. We
have thought OF our army only as a
fighting force. AS a matter OF fact.
Il Is great business institution,
challenging comparison with the
Steel Trust. and working marvelsNof
enterprise that the great corporation
itself has never accomplished. Otto
II. Kahn, the New York financier,
after seeing what has been accom-
plished in France, pays this tribute:
In addition to the magnificent rec
ord our army has already made as a
lighting force and the promise OF fur
Their achievement, the capacity which
our West Pointers in command Of the
great army bases have demonstrated
for far-sighted broad-visioned. boldly
conceived planning, for constructive
work and for efficient business or
ganization is nothing short of marvel
Gus.
Il am pretty familiar with big or
ganization work, but / have seen
nothing which impressed me more
and very few things which impressed
me as much as the work planned and
executed at the French harbors, al
our bases and along our lines by Gen
eral Pershing and the officers he has
placed in direct charge Nor have
men any wiser or better posted or more
hard working men than those at the
head of special departments of the
army with whom I came i'm contact.
There can be no doubt that the
praise is deserved. The events OF
these recent weeks prove IL. The
men at the front have been able &c
fight so effectively because they have
had this vast, perfect business or
ganization back OF them. We re
spectfully salute Gen, Pershing. great
soldier and great business man, and
all the captains OF war and industry

UNCLE SAM BACKING

The Shipping Board VIII Invest
$4,000, 900 In Building
That Type
STONE SHIPS A FACT

Uncle Sam is backing the concrete
ship as a factor 10 beat the U-boat.
The Shipping Board will invest $50
0O0, 900 in building that type of yes
sci. Five Government yards are TO
be constructed in addition TO the three
private ones now operating. Two OF
these will be one the Atlantic coast.
two on the Pacific. and one on the
Gulf OF Mexico The immediate pro-
gram calls for AZ ships with hulls OF
reinforced-steel concrete.
Why the concrete ship? In what
ways is it better than the wooden or
steel one? What has led the Govern
ment to put its faith and its money
in stone ships?
The answer is simple. Concrete
ships cost less than steel or wooden
ones. They can be built more rapid
~ and with less expert labor. And
they add TO our total tonnage without
interfering with the construction of
other boats.
For more than a year the call has
been for ships, more ships, and still
more ships.
that should be built without inter-
rupting the work upon vessels for our
Navy. The call more ships" meant
that we must increase our output
without interfering with the construc-
tion of our warships of the enormous
production of steel ships. We turned
TO Building shipyards and to produce
ing wooden ships in quantity. That
seemed about the limit-wooden
ships
The and still more ships" meant
that Uncle Sam must extend himself
and build ships without embarrass-
ment to our Navy, to the steel pro-
gram, or 10 the enormous work going
on in building wooden ships. The
men TO answer this almost impossible
call for "still more ships" were not
/ found wanting. They would furnish
the Government with an enormous
feet of ships built of reinforced con-
! crete.
Stone Ships a Fact.
Two years ago the world would
have laughed if anyone had suggested
self-propelling, sea-going ship built
of stone. To-day It'll an accomplish
ed fact.
The Faith, built in record time. has
weathered the high seas and is sail
/ ing them VIGOROUSLY. With that dem
onstration of the valiant ship Faith
our shipbuilders are preparing to re-
move mountains of concrete and con-
vert them into ships" an still more
ships"
Most of these stone ships will be
tankers of $500 tons, with a capacity
of $4,000 barrels of oil Each of them
will have $500 horsepower and a
speed of more than 10 knots an hour
The total lightweight tonnage of the
first AZ vessels will be close to 100000
tons.
Already Europe has accepted the
concrete boat. The French Govern
ment has put out contracts for more
than 700 barges of 1000 tons each
/ Many of these are already built and
are carrying soldiers and material on
the canals of that country Power
and tow barges are used by England
/ to transport troops across the chan
mel. A great many of these are under
construction and will soon be called
! into use.
( Reinforced concrete ships-seago-
ing and self-propelling-will be built
at least until the war is won. and
! they will contribute enormously TO
the transportation of soldiers and
4 supplies to our allies.

SPAIN ovERRUN
WITH HUN SPIES

Madrid,-Spain is a hotbed of Ger
man espionage and intrigue. Sensa-
tional charges are rife that even some
Spanish local officers are in the pay
Of the German government, with
scores OF other Germans and Span
iards.
II has been the constant complaint
of well informed Spainiards. especial
ly those who dwell near the coast,
that the German submarines which
destroy Spanish ships are in contemp-
ituous disregard of Spanish neutrality,
are aided ~ these Spanish and Ger
man spies on shore. 1t is also charged
that the Germans and their friends
+ have organized complete system of
espionage from Ayamonte, at the
Portuguese frontier on the south
west. and that the Canaries and the
! Balearic Islands are particularly busy
centers of submarine activity.
! All this is commonly said and gen
orally believed, but except in fragrant
cases, such as the escape of the U-293
| from Calais or the discovery of the
submarine depot at Cartegena, caus-
ing an outburst of indignation in the
Liberal press and compelling the no.
tice of the government. but little at
tention is paid to these violations of
Spanish neutrality.
A colored poster recently was cir
culated showing that nearly quarter
of the Spanish mercantile marine has
been destroyed and over fifty Spanish
sailors killed by German submarines.
The suspicious torpedoing of the
French vessel, Provence. off the
northeast coast recently led to the
allegation that the port command
ment at Palamos conveyed timely in
formation as to the sailing of ships
and their cargoes to the German spy
chiefs. He is now in prison awaiting
trial.

The attitude of labor toward the

BAD NEWS FOR THE KAISER
Flood OF Dollars Loosed by Fourth
Loan to Bring Back Victory.

We here at home have an opportun-
fly to send the Germans some bad
news. The Germans have great re-
spect for money; they know its value
in waging war. They know. too. that
the support the American people give
a Government loan measures largely
the support they give their Govern
ment, the moral as we'll as the finan.
cial support they give their armies in
the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a de.
feat for them on. the battle field, and
II will mean as much. It spells their
defeat; II breaks their morale; II
means power to their enemies. A
subscription to the loan is a contribu.
ton to German defeat and American
victory.
