TO BUILD DESTROYER A DAY
Production At That Rate Promised
BY Ford.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Production
plans for the navy's new antisubma-
rine craft contemplate delivery of a
finished boat every day when the
cycle of production is complete.
The first vessel has already been
started in the fabricating shops at
the Ford Motor company at Detroit.
To turn out boat day after
the elapse of several months re-
uuires that boat day be started.
Materials that go into construction
are fed into one end of the plant as
rapidly as it is planned to produce
the completed product at the other.
The whole number Of boats contract
ed for will be under production sim
ultaneously at one stage.
The design was worked ort to re-
duce to a minimum the necessity OF
shaping plates.
Power for the destroyers will be
furnished by geared turbines. No
effort has been made to go beyond
safe and conservative speed estimate.
They will measure 20 feet and dis.
place about 500 tons, which insures
easy passage to the sea.

With Allies Goods Cross
ing Into France.

Washington, Feb. 2--As an answer
of the United States and the Allies to
SPANS interference with the ship
ment Of goods across her border into
France. quick retaliatory measures
were forecast here.
In fact, certain Spanish ships now
in American ports ready to sail are
being held up, pending a clearing of
the situation, although the War
Trade board in formal statement
denied that vessels under the Span
ish flag generally were being kept in
port.
The American governments is par
ticularly concerned in the situation
because of, large orders placed in
Spain by General Pershing for sup
plies for the American army 1t holds
too. the chief weapon n rorce lift
ing Of an embargo placed by Spain,
since Spain draws heavily on the
United States for food stuffs.
German Influence interferes.
Recently when General Pershing
was authorized to buy 100000 blank
cts in Spain for American troops and
attempted to buy other merchandise,
some influence, suspected of being
German, interviewed. Other incidents
convince the government here of Ger
man activity. Measures similar to
those recently adopted toward other
European neutrals are in preparation.

T0PUT FARMERS
IN SECOND CLASS
Plan of President Would Mean
That Their CAY Would
Be Deferred.
WOULD Be FURLOUCHEO
Those In Service To Go Home Durino
Planting and Harvest Seasons
May Not Be
Called.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2.-According to
a letter received by Governor Copper
from President Wilson it is the hope
and expectation of the administration
that farmers may be given deferred
classification in the draft and that
furloughs may be granted at plant
ing and harvest seasons to those al
ready ~ service.
Presidens Wilson wrote:
Under the new selective service
regulations undsr which the present
classification OF registrants is pro-
crossing, in very specific terms, it IS
provided that skilled farm laborers
essential to the continued and undi
unfinished operations Of farms SHALL be
deferred in Glass ii. 1t is our pres
ent hope and belief that we shall
be able to raise all the forces in im-
mediate prospect without invading
any deferred class and therefore we
can assume, | tank, that future drafts
will not interfere with our supply
of skilled farm labor.
81 also have very prominently in
mind the advisa bility of furloughing
selected men during planting and
harvesting time and to this end the
War department has asked of Con-
g-ess authority to grant such fur
loushs without pay, whenever, in the
opinion of the Secretary of War, the
military situation iustifies such a
step. OF course, it is impossible to
say in advance what the changing
conditions of warfare may impose
upon us, but | can assure you that If
this authority is granted by Congress,
we shall permit these furloughs
whenever it is possible to do SO.
q! take it that wat have said Is
precisely responsive to what you
have in mind and / hope and believe
the various selection boards COM
posed of men of your choice will
exercise the authority to defer skilled
farm labor in such way as to meet
the situation you represent in the
fullest way it could be met under the
present circumstances"

President Makes Demand in Con-
ference for Free Hand in
War Management.
NO COMFORT FOR FOES
Chief Executive Says Interference Is
Of Advantage To Enemy
Railroad Bill Rewritten
Following Conference.

Washington, Feb. 4.-As the result
of conference between President
Wilson and group OF senators, per-
manent government ownership of rail-
roads has received severe setback.
Immediately following the confer
ence the administration railroad bill
was rewritten limiting government
control to is months after the war
and taking from the President the
power to fix rates.
The President, through the director
general, may initiate rates, but they
will be subject to approval of the
interstate Commerce commission.
The President firmly stated his
opposition to the Senate Military
committees bill providing for a war
cabinet and munitions director. He
said both bills were obnoxious to him
because they were unnecessary and
would embarrass him and deprive HIM
of authority in the prosecution of the
war.
Asks Vote OF Confidence.
The urging of the President
amounted practically to request
for an expression of confidence from
Congress in the administration. 1t is
believed tnis will be made the issue
when the bills are brought up in
the Senate.
The. President also urged upon the
Senators the necessity of avoiding as
far as possible agitation in Congress
h0f mid Uiu INN nocin af
discord.
President Wilson, it is understood,
not only said that any bill to curtail
his control of the war would be We
toed but that his emphatic opinion
was that Congressional agitation for
war changes is an encouragement to
Germany. He declared, it is said,
that apparent differences between
Congress and the executive depart
ments were furnishing ammunition
for German agents to misrepresent
the situation in this country
Senators Agree With Wilson.
Although all of the senators pres
ent were said to be in entire accord
with the Presidents position and con-
fident that the legislation for war
cabinet and munitionl director is
certain of defeat they said Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, and Wads-
worth. Republican, were planning
speeches In the Senate early next
week in support of the bills and
could not be stopped under the Sem
ate rules.
Replies are planned on behalf of
the administration, and administra-
tion leaders hope that tho debate
can be closed.

said Mother Polar, though I'm sure
they often wish they could. I've heard
