Government Faith In etone & Web
ster and American International
Shown by This New
Contract.
KELLOGG GETS WORD
Contract Following the investigation
Would be Best Refut1tion
Of Criticisms, Manager
Says.

A contract for sixty additional ships
has bee Met to the American mterna-
tional Ship Building association by
the United States government, tele-
gram received by G. w. Kellogg, dis
trict manager Of Stone & Webster,
yesterday stated. This is believed to
be the best answer to all Of the criti-
cisms Of the company that have been
made in the last couple Of months. The
government investigation of the COM
pany is completed, and the awarding
of this contract shows it's faith in the
company.
The American International is the
company which has been building the
big ship yards and ships at Hog Is
land near Philadelphia. The company
sub-let the contract to the Stone &
Webster corporation, which has been
doing the work.
An investigation into the company
was commenced some time ago by a
senate committee, and also an investi-
cation was carried on by the depart
ment OF justice. The Stone & Web
|ster people have felt SO secure in their
position on the subject, and have felt
all along that an investigation would
show that they were doing legiti-
mate business, that they even went
further than the government investi-
gators, put more witnesses on the
stand, and piled up more evidence.
Stone & Webster felt all the time
that it was right, Mr.. Kellogg said,
and for that reason went on with the
investigation in order to prove its po-
sition. The new ship building contract
came Monday, and officials feel that
lit is complete vindication of the
company.
at would seem to u.s." Mr.. Kellogg
said this morning. "that this was the
best refutation of all the criticisms
that have been circulated about us
during the investigation and for the
last couple of months. 1t seems to me
that the letting of this contract for ad.
ditional ships proves conclusively
that the government has found our po-
sition is right"
There are many employees Of the
Stone & Webster, company from Keo
kuk who have been called to Phila
delphia on the job.

American forces during the winter
near st. Mihiel. then still further
west, near Tahure. and finally near
the scissors area, where the French
front joins the British.
simultaneously with this western
movement of the Americans, renew
ed reports began to circulate OF
forthcoming German offensive, as IL
other reserves were being moved in
to France to check the Americans.
Thereupon General Pershing arranged
to make the next appearance Of Am
erican troops near the Swiss border
at the very point Of the French line
nearest to the Rhine. Won linden
burg was thus prevented from dis
trTbuting his reserve formation in
that region. To hold in check at the
same time any movement into France
Of the Metz reserves, the Americans
next conducted g. series of operations
against the enemy's trenches along
the Lorraine front, near the Rhine
Marine canal, Americas original
trench position.
This strategy brought forth new
disclaimers from Berlin of any i'm
mediate intention of launching
western offensive.
Wnen On Lne llTSi gay VI spring
Won Hindenburg finally drove for
ward against the British front, his Of
fensive was halted at the end Of a
week because his available reserves
were exhausted The Americans
along the AlsaceLorraine border
were keeping German reserves in
active at Metz and in southern Alsace.
At the same time Americas fast
growing military strength in France
caused Won Hindenburg to decline to
risk further slaughter Of his other
troops before Americas full power
became operative. The two facts
exerted a vital influence in prevent
ing the attainment of Won linden
burg's purpose.

ECHOES OF OUR ELECTION
From Cloverland Papers.
,From Iron River Reporter)

(From Iron River ReporterJ
The Reporter desires to don its tile
to our friend. Conlin, of the Crystal
Falls Diamond Drill, for the splendid
fight that he put up during the cam
paign for commission form OF gov
ernment in the county seat. We un-
derstand that the fight was an inter-
esting one during the closing days of
the campaign and that 1t was give ana
take on both sides, but that the con-
test was waged in a most friendly
manner, as IL should and ought to be
on every proposition OF that kind. we
see no reason why there should be
any animosities following the close
or the campaign. A newspaper man
has Just the rights to express his
opinion through the columns OF his pa
per as a lawyer has TO express him
self in court, and we hardly ever hear
or any one getting hot under the col
lar at the lawyer-then why not give
the newspaper man the same cour-
tesy? He Is a citizen OF the commun-
ity and as deeply interested in his
community as the lawyer may be In his
client, and yet he Is doing without pay
what the disciple OF Blackstone may
he getting his hundreds for. Theu
why should the newspaper man be the
goat while the other fellow is patteI
on the back? We trust that the mel
who were opposed to the commission

and II the voters don't see that the
men elected insist on equitable as
sessments. they will have themselves
70 thank for inequalities in the future.
The Crystal Falls Diamond Drill
and it's editor, Tom Conlin, are to be
congratulated on the outcome OF the
election. Conlin is fine type OF min
ing town editor. No man has been
quicker to defend legitimate mining
interests than he. His paper on the
tonnage tax was one of the best con-
trlbutions to the litrature that helped
lay that heresy low. But at the same
time Conlin has all along shown m
dependence and desire to hold the
mining interests of his district In the
straight and narrow path, when they
showed disposition to stray from i,
as in his long fight for equitable tax
alton.
The people of Crystal Falls owe
Conlin much. They ought TO apprec-
late 1t, and appreciate him.

see in the Drill, following occasions
when the band has been out (Which
has been quite frequently, is, "The

(From the Mining JournaD

(From the Mining Journal
The Mining Journal is we'll pleasei
to learn of the result OF the Crystai
Falls election, both because II believes
that commission government is an I'M
mense advance on the older forms anu
because II has sympathized with the
Diamond Drills efforts to secure
equitable taxation for the business in
terests.
In the last number before the elec-
ton. the Crystal Falls Diamond Dril
asserted that the Mckinney Steel Co.
interests had offered to support the
charter provided. only, 1t was drawn
so that the supervisors might be elect
ed by wards, instead OF at large, as
the commissioners proposed. The Drill
assumed the responsibility of proving
the truth OF this statement to any per-
son who desired to make inquiry into
1t.
The Senegambian in the woodpile
here was the desire OF the Mckinney
Steel company interests to continue
it's grip on the board OF review. which
has to do with assessments, which It's
representatives conceived could easily
be done If the supervisors were elect
ed undr the old ward system, rather
than by all the voters of the city. II

themselves to defeat the new charte

doubtless correct.
