vivors of the British hospital ship
GIcnart Castle was voiced by the Brit

Mr. MacNamara made his statement in

STORY OF HEROISM
The Glenart Castle sank at 4 o'clock
in the morning of February &c. The
destroyer, although far distant, picked
up a wireless message and hurried 10
the scene where she searched the
choppy sea for survivors. The first
one was sighted at l o'clock in the
afternoon lone man on a raft.
In these submarine infested waters

to halt and launch boats. She threw
a line to the survivor but he was SO

UNDERWOOD ACTS

MUSCLE SHOALS
Senator Finds Way to Sc
cure Appropriation to
Prevent Congestion and
Possible Epidemic
BY HUGH Nv. noBERTs

Washington, March ID Special)-Dan-
ger of epidemic in north Alabama as
result OF congested conditions inciden-
tai to the development of Muscle Shoals
and lack of adequate sanitation facilities
was minimized today wnen Senator Tn
derwood secured the acceptance by the
Senate Of an amendment to the urgent
deficiency bill.
The amendment increases the appro-
priation for conservation of the health OF
the army from 100000 to $55o,Oo0 and pro-
vides that such appropriation may be
expended mot only in and around army
cantonments but in the environ of the
other government enterprises of war
nature. That the amendment will stand
in conference is regarded as certain.
But for the senator's readiness in TAX
ing advantage of a fleeing opportunity,
the appropriation for Muscle shoais
would have been secured only through
the usual channel OF legislation and at
the expense of at least two months In
time. This wound have given opportunity
for epidemic to have gained an abiding
foothold

Wooden Ships Will Be
Built With Timbers OF
Smaller Size in Future

Washington. March 13.-Renewed ef-
forts to hasten the wooden shipbuild-
ms programme were launched today
by the shipping board. After an an
nouncement that authority had been
given to southern yards to use small
er timbers in ship frames. thereby OBJ
waiting the necessity for bringing
large timbers from the Pacific coast.
circular letter to all wooden ship
luilders was made public by James O.
Heyworth. manager OF the division OF
wood ship construction, in which he
called for new methods of building by
which more men can be employed
simultaneously on each ship.
Surveys ofS 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 de-
lays due to inaccurate estimates by
lumbermen of what they can produce.
