HOPES TO SPEED UP
BUILDING OF SHIPS

Washington, March 13.--Renewed
efforts TO hasten the wooden ship
building program were launched to-
day by the shipping board.
After an announcement that auth
ority had been given to southern yards
To use smaller timbers in ship frames,
thereby obviating the necessity for
bringing large timbers from the Pac-
ific coast, a circular letter to all wood
en- shipbuilders was made public by
James .. Heyworth, manager of the
division of wooden ship construction,
in which he called for new methods Of
building by which more men can be
employed simultaneously on each
ship.
Surveys of the timber resources
available for shipbuilding are being
made on the Pacific coast and will be
commenced in the south at once by
John II. Kirby of Houston, Tex
Through these inquiries the shipping
board expects to eliminate the delays
due to inaccurate estimates by lumb-
ermen of what they can produce.

STEAMER KERSHAU

Thirty Naval ReServiStS ChooSeI
to Be Rescued by BreecheSI
Buoy Vessel Likely to Bel
FIoated,

An Atlantic Port, March l3.--Thir-
had an exciting adventure today
when they were landed by means of
the breeches buoy from the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
company's steamer Kershaw, which
had pushed her nose in between two
sand bars and stuck off the coast
near here during a heavy fog. The
other eighty-seven reservists and two
women and two children, who COM
prised the passenger list. were taken
off the steamer by tugs and patrol
boats.
The Kershaw, with a crew of about
forty men sticking to their posts, was
still hard in the sand tonight and had
about seven feet of water in her hold.
The sea was calm and the vessel was
in no immediate danger. The hope
was expressed that after the leaks in
her bottom had been stopped the YES
sci could be pulled off with the high
tide tomorrow morning.
The Kershaw, which was bound for
New England port from a middle
Atlantic port, went ashore at mid
night last night. When her predca-
ment was discovered today coast
guards rugged up their gun and fired
line across her bow. Later the
hreeches buoy was put in operation
and many of the naval reservists
chose this exciting method of rescue
to the more prosaic one of being taxi
en- off by the fleet of tugs and other
craft which were standing by. The
reservists who came ashore in the
breeches buoy were sent to their des-
tination by train. The others and the
women and children will proceed on
the boats which took them off the
.Kershaw,

The projectors were discovered late

As soon as they were definitely To-

London, March t3.--Prcmier Lloyd
George, speaking in London today
said there had been criticism because
the cabinet ministers had not given
sufficient prominence to the idea of
a league of nations in their speeches.
The Bolshevists had taught them one
lesson-that was that a real league
of nations did not come by talking
about it. The critics had forgotten
something which was essential--that
once a war was begun you had to

which even a Prussian war lord would
hail with satisfaction.

East Las Vegas ~ NJ, March 13.-
The Cattle and Horse Growers asso-
citation has been asked to hold its
next years convention at Albuquer-
que. The proba bilities are that the
invitation will be accepted. The in
vitation was extended by Captain
Clark NJ. Carr. 1t was seconded by
Bennie Bennett and Leopold Aldo,
secretary of the Chamber Of Com
merce, who arrived on the evening
train and moved that the motion be
made unanimous. VIC Keim and
Harry Blackford have worked assidu-
ously all day in the efforts of the
Duke City, with the practical assur-
ance Of majority of the delegates
that they will vote for Albuquerque,
Captain Carr who has been in con-
stant attendance upon the convention,
has been consistent LoOster for AL
buquerque as the 1919 convention city
and if the prize is won, and it seems
probable that it will he, it will be due
largely to his efforts.
Meat is Plentiful Now.
That the American public never
does anything by halves, but throws
it's whole heart and soul into anything
that it undertakes is again proven by
the statement made today by T, w.
Tomlinson There ls so much meat
foodstuG in the country that expect
to see revocation within a few days
of the meatless day order"
The significance of that statement
lies in the fact that Mr.. Tomlnson
is secretary of the American Live
stock association. He arrived in Las
Vegas today from Washington, D. C..
where he spent a month in consulta-
ton with Food Administrator Hoover
and other national officials who have
much to do with the prosecution Of
the war.

No Hunger in England.

Coming down to internal affairs,
the premier said there was no hunger.
There was no privaton, but the peo
PIE were being deprived of a good
deal they had been taught to regard
as the essentials of a comfortable ex-
istence There was no lack of abund-
ant food to sustain the strength of the
people, and no prospect of such de-
ficiency, but there was a tendency to
grumble at restrictions.
"The people face big things" con-
tinued the premier. "but get worried
oyer small ones. There has been only
one successful food controller in the
history of the world-the one who
made five loaves and two small fishes

500 income pays 2 per cent on his
income in excess Of $4,000.
These and other facts and figures
will be used to refute the statement
of German synpathizers that this is
a capitalists war"
"We must learn to realize" says

Men by the Committee on Public IN
formation, "that all of US who pay our
mite are really capitalists. A CAPT
talist is simply person who has a

woman earning $1,000 q year is by no
means 'poor'---with rare exceptions
he or she has something laid by n
bond, real estate or q few dollars
in savings bank. An income Of ST.
900 is considerably above the average.
"And after all, what is a 81 tax, to
your share if you are single and

a married man earning $500? Surely
we, as Americans, viii pay that much

The normal rate of tax under the
war revenue act of 1917 is 2 per
cent on the net income of unmarried
persons in excess Of $1,000 and on the
net income of married persons in

on the net income of married per-

but to get his blank and file his re-
turn at once.
In every address the Four Minute
Men will lay stress upon that pro-
vision of the law which requires a
return from every unmarried person
whose net income for 1917 was 81 900
or more and from every married per-
SON whose net income was $4,000 or
more. They will be supplied with
facts and figures to show that the
rich man and the man of modest
income alike are made to bear just
share of the common burden. Tables
will be. produced comparing the rate
of tax in the United States and Great
Britain. Here the married man with
an income of $1,000 pays $40.
In Great Britain the man with an in
come of $4,000 pays ta1 Of S225 and
$500 if his income is not ned but is
from interest on bonds OF the like.
As the income increases the difference
between American and British taxes
