TANKS WHIP GERMANS
 IN bELLEAU WOOD;
 TAKE 250 PRISONERS
Americans Now Possess All Tactical Positions in Sect0r- Some Fierce Hand to Hand Fighting Engaged in.

With the American Army in France June 26.-German prisoners captured by the Americans on storming the Belleau wood sector last night now number 250, including seven officers. One of the officers said the German commanders have been telling the sol- diers that the Germans have landed | an army in America, captured New York and are now marching towards Philadelphia. The Germans also are told that submarines have sunk be- tween 40 and 30 ships in Long Island Sound.
 The Americans now are in posses sion of virtually all the valuable tac- tical situations in the Belleau wood sector. Most of the prisoners taken belong to the 347th German division.
 On Sunday the Germans placed the crack 2O1st division opposite posi- tion of the American line. Despite this the Americans went through in steam roller fashion.
 The Germans also had attempted on Saturday to fill the wood with gas but determination and heroism of the Americans could not be checked by this circumstance.
 The American artillery again bril- liantly carried out it's part in throw ing the entire German line into con- fusion. Prisoners said that the posi- tion from which they had been taken was like an inferno under the Ameri- can fire. They were happy to get out alive.
 The attack was preceded by a 13- hour bombardment from the Ameri- can artillery. German prisoners taken pay tribute to the brilliant dash of the Americans, declaring the men in the assaulting party fought like demons.
 The Germans were virtually cleared out of Belleau wood several days ago. but the discovery was made yester- day that under cover of darkness they had planted machine guns behind huge boulders. in sunken roadways, in shell-holes and in trees in narrow area on the edge of the wood. It was most difficult to get at them ir these positions and some fierce hand to hand fighting occurred during the night while the clearing process was being carried out.

j. 5. 5 MUST BUILD A
MAMMOTH SHIPYARD
Charles A. Piez So Informs
Senate Commerce
Committee
MEMBERS APPROVE
LATEST IDEA

WASHINGTON, March i3.-The Sen
ate Committee on Commerce yester-
day listened for nearly two hours to
a review of the shipping situation by
Weep esident Charles A. Piez, who is
general manager Of the United States
Shipping Boards Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. and the opinion resulted that
Immediate SPEEDING up in the develop
ment Of existing facilities and the au-
thorizatior of vast new shipbuilding
plants on the Atlantic coast must be
undertaken
The committee, after reviewing with
Mr. Plez the most recent figures in re-
gard 10 the ship construction here and
abroad and comparing them with the
destruction by submarines, reached the
conclusion that providing only the
normal rate Of destruction of U-boats
is maintained the loss Of overseas COM
merce must remain greater than the
development Of new bottoms through
out 1918.
Concretely the diagrammatic presen-
tation OF the curves Of ship construc-
ton and U-boat destruction indicate
that the two lines will not cross within
the current calendar year 10 the ad-
vantage Of the construction line
The Commerce Committee has prac-
tically decided 10 approve the sl-f
gestion o. Mr. Plez that new shipyai ds
titted to build the largest Of ocean car
riers be undertaken at once. Appro-
priations will be asked for the con-
structlon Of one Government yard
Government owned and managed in
every particular--with not less than
ten ship ways This yard will cost,
bare Of anything more than the ship
ways and the z ound, 81 100000.
The committee will also advocate
construction Of at least one privately
owned shipyard, to be built under a
contract similar to that under which
the Hog Island yard is being built This
yard also, it is believed, should be
built on the Atlantic coast The COM
mittee has not reached the point Of
defining where these yards should be
placed, but it is known to have Bruins
wick Ca, and Wilmington, n. C., under
consideration.
The Senators were not surprised at
conditions outlined today by Mr.. Pez
In his confidential talk. It has been
known that by reason Of one cause or
another the construction Of shipping
to meet the U-boat plague has been
laggng and they also realize the diffl-
culties that have confronted shipbulld-
ers throughout the last winter. They
know that net only must present con-
ditlons be considered but that the pos
sibility Of Germany accelerating her
rate Of U-boat construction and activ-
ity must not be overlooked.
Mr.. piez told Senators that the
French were buying a lal ge number Of
American vessels, both wooden and
steel, for Use In other commerce than
that Of the Atlantic. These vessels are
hardly large enough for ocean trade
ranging from 1900 to 2,400 tons, but
viii be serviceable IN French trade
with the. African coasts and between
France and Italy and the near eastern
ports Of the Mediterranean under En-
tente control.
