request.
Congress Wants to Know
Members of Congress hold that the
shipping emergency is more acute than
ever. A while ago they were willing
to appropriate ample funds for con-
crete ships on gamble. Now the
authorities say there is no gamble, and
still the Shipping Board takes no ac-
ton.
The "Official Bulletin" announcement
indicates that the Shipping Board
wishes to experiment with completed
ships before it commits itself to any
thing worth while. If that be the case
all hope for any important contribu
ton of concrete ships to this years
tonnage is out of the question. In any
event the decision seems to have been
made against the 3,500-ton ship, which
was the size the board itself dcsig-
mated for development.
Some time ago it was stated that
power could be found with which to
equip 400 to 500 ships of that size
this year. 1t is doubtful if engines
can be provided for many 7,50O-ton
ships this year. The larger ship is con-
ceded to be preferable, but large num-
bers of the smaller ships can be
started immediately so the question is
raised: Why not go ahead with them
and with the 7,500ton ships also as
soon as plans are ready? =
Evolution
This is the way the situation has
evolved: First, Shipping Board skcp-
tical as to the concrete ship; second,
decides to investigate, and places some
provisional contracts, in which practi-
cally no progress has been made; third,
investigation is favorable; fourth,
strong official recommendation of the
building Of concrete ships; fifth,
eleventh. decision that the $500
ton is too small; sixth, decision to
build threc-count thcm-thrcc of that
type as experiments. which means at
least four months more of delay;
seventh, decision to go in for 1900
ton boats, the design for which has
not yet been worked out; eighth, prob
able result of this search for perfec-
tion. no concrete tonnage worth men
tloning during 1913, when, on the most
conservative calculation, at least a
million tons might be completed by the
end of the year.
In the case of the army rifle and the
cannon and the airplancs, it is the ex-
perts and the technicians wl.o have
delayed progress with their pursuit of
Improvement instead of production. In
the case of the concrete ship, the en-
glneers have given the word to go
ahead without bothering about further
experiments, and it is the executives
who are blocking progress.
The first group are about through
with their refinements and bulky con-
tributions to the scrap heap. The sec
ond group now throw themselves into
the breach and contribute to unneccs-
sary delay by restricting the number
of ships, with the result that the mu-
nitions factories will soon be turning
out more munitions than can possibly
be transported with the available shin.
ping.
The guiding motive with the Shipping
Board is, Of course, caution, lest con-
siderable sums of money be spent on
ships that may, after all, turn out
wrong. 1t is pointed out by members
of Congress who are eager for results
that in this emergency caution NAV
prove more dangerous and costly than
even rashness.

son is comforting with the Premiers of

are that it will not be dispatched fer
a day or two.
While there may be some questions
as to the form Of the reply, there is
no question VIII yer at to the nature
1t may use the short and force

which would reflect the sentiment
which has come from the Spokesman

would be looked upon as suicidal, and
not to be thought Of.

note and that of Baron Burian, the
Austro- Hungarian foneign minister, in
official form, undoubtedly, are in the
foreign office i'll London, Poris and

as requested by the Central powers.
The exchanges going on have "a two
fold purpose:
Obviously the American govern
ment would not proceed to speak for
the other belligerents on a matter of
such importance without consulting
/ among them and it is proposed tc
avoid the mistake of making curt and
peremptory rejection, which would be
used by the Central powers, before
their own people. to bolster up the ar
gument that they are waging a de

the co-belligerents are to destroy

ATLANTA AFTER BEING DENIED
PASSES

Atlanta. Oct. 7.-As III result Of the
determination of a body of some 1l5
negro soldiers to visit and Chamblee
after they had been denied passes on
account of the Spanish influenza quar-
antira at Camp Gordon, one lieuten-
ant of the provost guard has badly

martial on charges of mutiny.
The clash between the negro sold
iers and thu provost guard occurred
late Sunday night and was kept quiet
until Monday afternoon at which time
it Was announced by officials at
camp headquarters, who stated that
th,> affair was not a serious one in
any sense of the word
II seems that the negro soldiers
who were under quarantine near the
base hospital determined to break quar-
antine and go to the city and cham
bIe regardless of orders combining
them to quarters Consequently they
massed just to the near of the base
hospital and began their march to-
ward Chamblee and the car terminus
of the camp
Tho military police were informed Of
the matter and dispatched officers to
quell the disturbance Later another
Officer was sent to the scene of the
disorder. and, finally the nntire pro.
vost guard was ordered out
Aside from the fact that the negro
soldiers hurled several volleys of
rocks one of which struck the lieut.
tenant of TIE provost guard no wea-
pons of particular violence were

The provost guard when it arrived
on the scene captured % Of the mutt
nous negroes and dispelnd the re
mainder of the gathering The 25 ar
rested negroes were held at the camp
prison throughout Sunday night and
weno sent back to their companies for
duty Monday morning with copies OF
charges.
The affair was always well under

and no traces of the conflict remand

WEAR YOUR MASK.

Notice is hereby given that an Ordi- nance to make the wearing of influ- enza masks compulsory and provid- ing fine of $210O for those not wearing the masks, was introduced at a Special Meeting of the Com mon Council Wednesday night, Nov. 18th, 1918, and will again be brought up for final passage Fri day night, Nov. 18th, 1918. This ordinance was prepared and intro duced at the special request of Dr. L. O. Sloane, City Health Officer and Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., in order that the epidemic of influenza now raging in our mist may be stamped out without the further loss of life, and the general public is earnestly requested to wear the masks upon our streets and in all public places. This is a duty you owe not only to yourself, but to your fellow citizen, for is not the saving of one human life recom- pense enough for the few days of discomfort that the wearing of the masks may cause? Show that Ju- neau spirit, wear your mask for few days so that we may again open our schools and our commercial ac- tivity may become normal once more.
