BIG WASTE AT HOG
ISLAND Is Barred
REPORT DECLARES MILLIONS
WERE SPENT IN MISMAN-
AGEMENT-UTTER CHAOS.

WASHINGTON.-A disclosure of
mismanagement and utter chaos in
the construction of the Hog Island
shipyard at Philadelphia, tending to
show waste of millions of dollars
of government money, was made in
the report of the department of JUS
tice on its investigation of the Hog
Island yard, which was submitted to
President Wilson by Attorney Gener-
al Gregory September 21 last, and
made public today.
The outstanding fact of the inves-
legations, says the report, is that the
estimate of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, builder of the Hog Is
land yard, October II, 1917, that the
yard would cost $21, 100000 and the
corporations estimate November 27,
1917, of $27,0O0,0OO have been so
far exceeded that the probable cost of
the yard will be about SCI, 100000.
The latter figure includes $6,OOO,0OO
additional work authorized on the
yard by the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration since April l, 1918.
Explanation in Order.
"Such a discrepancy must be due
to some fundamental miscalculation
in the original estimate, to superven-
ing conditions, including the enlarge
ment of the plant, to mismanagement
IN operation, or to a combination of
these factors. A discrepancy of this
magnitude would seem to call for
clear explanation from the American
international Shipbuilding Corpora
ton, but this has not been furnished"
the report states.
However, in spite of references by
United States senator's and congress-
men to the Hog Island project as "a
national scandal" it is the conclu-
sion of the report that the facts
brought out do not justify criminal
prosecution Of the parties concerned,
as set forth in the report by G. Car
roll Todd, assistant to the attorney
General, and Mark Hyman, special
assistant to the attorney general, who
conducted Investigations.

SACRIFICE TO BUY BONDS
Financing Fighters by stlntlng Your
self Makes Heroes Of the
Home Folks.

Heroes are comparative rarity al
the front. There are so many OF
them that they escape the notice prop
erly given to the prodigy. Converse
ly, there are few towards. The sol
diers are charitable. They understand
well enough that any man may be Sc
far below par for a second that his
legs will not obey his will. Weakness:
due to the strain of brave resistance
: is one OF the terrible chances of fight
ing. Hence the bravest man generally
says the very least about those who
are accused OF cowardice.
The financing and support of Q
great war produces just as many he
roes as the charge on the fighting line
and they are more often overlooked
Unfortunately, too, the civilian part
of the war produces cowardice-cow
a-dice of such mean kind that II can
not be forgiven. Such cowardice, FOL
example, as refusing to cut down
sugar-eating, gasoline consumption
etc, for the good of the service. II
is a form of cowardce because It i'm
plies fear Of self-denial-dreadO OF sac
rifice.
II will not make an easy sacrifice
said Captain Cochin. "God, country
family-that Is the order of my sac
rifice !" And he died at verdun, with
plastron of decorations.
A little Of that spirit will readily
overcome the cowardice of those who
run away from their plain duty Of buy
Ing Liberty Bonds. Imagine Captain
Cochin In your place. Would he not

BUYING BONDS is THRIFT
Famous French Statesman Says Thrift
is Virtue Of the People.

q Deputy Justin Godart, In a recent
speech on "The American Crusade"
said: Thrift, that virtue so charac-
leristically French, so domestic, so
modest, so sterling-thrift Is the vir-
tue which, during the terrible trials OF
the war, has not failed to yield us,
according to our ever-lncreaslng neces-
stiles, unsupported n rs and re-
sources.
We must place II in the first rank
of our elements of resistance. II has
been the part Of the lowly In the eco
nomic outlay. Thrift! 1t is the vir.
tue Of the people. just as the Poilu is
the peoples soldier, and like the Poilu
1t enabled France to withstand the as
saults of the barbarians."
Out OF the hardships Of the war
America is recovering the ancestral
virtue Of thrift. That alone win
dbundantly repay us as people for
oil the sacrifices we are compelled to
undergo.
At the actual minute there is no
duty for Americans that can compare
with the buying Of Fourth Liberty
bonds. Thrift Is good for the country
but first we must make sure that we
have q country. We must beat the
German feudalism. Never mind what
you did on the early loans. That
money is spent-for war preparation.
The Fourth Loan Is for Fighting.
