Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board, in a recent speech in New
York at which he outlined the ship
building program fully for the first
time, declared the great building pro-
gram which is to make the bridge
OF ships to France is 2S per cent to-
ward completion. He pointed out the
magnitude of the task by recalling
that the Shipping Board is building ir

the Steel Corporation has been able
70 build up in more than twenty years
The recent disclosure by the British
Admiralty that German submarines
actually are destroying the worlds
shipping twice as fast as it is being
built is the spur which is expected to
put the full force of the country at
this vital task.
Besides the work of the executive
departments of the government, the

EEvIEW OF AMERICAS ACHIEVE.
MENTS IN WAR PREPARA-
TION.
Organihation of Great Resources Of
Country Has Been Slow Process
and Much Has Been Done Despite
Confusion and Wasted Effort.

Washington. April S.-The first an.
niversary of the entrance of the Unit
Cd States into the war finds the great
resources of the country just coming
into the struggle but rapidly being
prepared
The achievements of the first year
are chiefly divided between the army,
which has been supplying and train
ing fighting forces: the navy which
has been hunting the submarine aud
conveying troops and supplies to Eu-
rope. the Shipping Board which has
peen building merchant marine AMI
the treasury which has ben advanc-
ing credits TO the Allies.
In all other departments of gov
ernment there has been a tremendous
effort to bring all the forces OF the
country's resources and power to the
aid OF the actual lighting machine.
For military reasons il is not per-
misssible TO state the exact number of
American troops in France with Gen.
oral Pershing's expedition. but Secre-
tary Baker. I'm recent testimony before
the Senate Military Committee pre-,
dicted half n million men would be
there early this year and that another
million would be ready to go during
tho year.
American troops have taken up sew
erai positions on the lighting line in
France. have occupied sector of
their own northwest of Toul, and
have had numerous encounters with
the Germans. Official statements from
British and German army headquar-
ters have shown that. certain Ameri-
can lighting forces were thrown into
the battle brought on by the grea,
German offensive this spring, the Brit

fighting shoulder to shoulder with the
British and French troops In the vi
cinity OF Roye.
BY referring to the combined forces
OF the regular army and national
guard a year ago. and comparing the
strength of the regular army now, the
National Guard mustered into FEEDER

ing men has been increased from a
meagre two hundred thousand to
something like a million and a-half.
with about ten million men register
ed under the draft still available for
call To the colors.
Military experts have estimated
that should the war be prolonged and
II become necessary for the United
States to assume the burden OF car
rying on the conflict an army Of five
million men would not be improbable.
The immense and sudden expansion
OF the army has not been without crit
icism but. II is declared this was en-

Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
of American home we know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land, under free in
stitutions? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty loving citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought vaiantly, and died gallantly, to win for
themselves and hand down to their postertv the
blessings of liberty, justice, self-governnent and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage, bought
at so great price, is now threatened.
The question which today confronts America
a nation, and you as an individual, is
= whether or not free America
!" is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unmpalred the Legacy of
freedom of which we are now the custodians or
shall their country be turned bodily to the
brutal, rapacious, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?
This question cannot be answered by word of
mouth, but by deeds alone.
