MAKING NEW RECORDS
work For Admiralty During War ope-
rated to Reduce Output of Mer-
chant Tonnage. But Conditions
Are Better Now.

London. Nov. 1S-The parliamentary
secretary of the ministry of shipping.
speaking in the house OF commons
yesterday. said with reference to the
output:
In 1913 there was record figure OF
shipbuilding of 10000 tons. In 1914,
when the war broke out 1t fell to
100000 tons. In 1915 1t fell to ESQ.,
600 tons. In 1916 il fell again to
about 10000 tons. and in 1917 II rose
to a little under 100000 tons,
Taking the twelve months ending
October 81. 1918. the total output
reached little less than 100000
tons
The explanation of the figures is
bound up with the very important fact
of the victory over the su bmarines.
Taking the whole period from the in
ception OF the system. In the summer
of 1917. down to November 2. the con-
voys included about 47,0o0.0 900, coo tons
of merchant shipping. and the losses
Were less than III per cent This great
result has not been achieved without
increasing the amount Of labor de-
voted to the admiralty side of con-
struction. When war broke out we
had perhaps $50 900 men engaged in
shfpbuilding. engineering and repairs.
The number now Is $4,000
Building has risen to nearly i45,
900 tons a month. so that the net loss
OF shipping In September was less
than 1000 tons-a negligible figure.
In short the submarine campaign
has been beaten. 1t was only beaten
because the government devoted the
available labor supply more largely to
the admiralty than to the merchant
shirping side of the matter.
In the twelve months ending Octo-
Der, 1918. we turned 100000 tons Of
merchant shipping. In addition we
turned out war vessels estimated to
be the equivalent OF further 1,3o0.-
600 tons of merchant shipping go that
our virtual output in these twelve
months was nearly 100000 tons as
against 100000 tons In 1913. which
was a record year.
Here is what / hope is n fair esti-
mate OF our future merchant output
taking 100000 tons as reasonable
estimate of what can be done with
existing labor, Shipyard workers will

GERMAN BRUTALITY IS
ACCORDED PRISONERS

London. Nov. 20.-Brutal treatment
accorded by Germans to prisoners
working in the coal pits at Luenez
is described as follows by an English
soldier:
Sick men, so long as they were able
to stand, were compelled by sentries
to continue working. Any one " )
refused was beaten with rifles and
bayonets until he began again, or if
this failed, he was forced to stand at
attention at the front OF the sentry
at the main gate until the shift had
returned from work. a period of eight
to ten hours. If the prisoners tainted
or became too weak to stand and still
refused they We're put into cells be-
hind some big ovens where the air
was extremely bad and the heat was
rearrui. They were sometimes Kept
in this place for two or three days
in the terrific heat, until they agreed
to work.
During this time no food from par
cells was allowed, German food being
the only kind. and the only way %

BANNING OF HIGH HEELS
INCREASES EFFICIENCY

Washington. Nov. 2o.--Reports re-
ceived here by the United States
shipping board show that the
"Hoover-AH" garbcd women workers
of the submarine boat corporation of
Newark Bay, N. j., have discarded
high heeled shoes os a means for
gaining heightened efficiency. Many
of them are earning $40 a week and.
when DIR. Alice Hamilton Ward, the
company doctor. ruled that high
heels must go. the girls obeyed. The
corporation backed up the ruling by
stating that it would not pay COM
pensa ton for accidents caused by
high heels.
High heels caused workers to trip
and fall against machinery.

PIT AND SHELL
CAMPAIGN ENDS
Such Is Red Cross Announcement
Following Word From Govern
ment That Need Is Gone.

The fruit pit and nut she'll cam
paigu. which has been conducted by
the Red Cross, is now closed. Word
has been received by Rock Island
chapter that the government will
need no more of the contemporaries
ing materials.
GroceTs, restaurant owners, and
others who have periodically plac-
ed liberty barrels" in front Of their
stores, are now asked to remove
them. The government suggests
that the contents be used for fuel,
as they are gbOd heat producers.
The Rock Island chapter, through
the chairman of the carbon salvage
committee, NJ. c. Rice. extends its
thanks to all those who aided in the
drive; several thousand pounds OF
materials had already been collect
ed and many more had accumulated
at the various centers.
We all rejoice" says the chap
ter, that we are now officially in
formed thai our men no longer need
the means with which to fight poi
son gas. The American Red Cross
set itself the task of providing
American soldiers with the best gas
mask made; and men, women and
children throughout the nation were
making the task a success"

EXPECTED SOON
City Believes That Housing Officials
viii Comply With Ord
iaances.

Expectations ran high among
Rock Island city officials that all
contention regarding plumbing be-
ing installed at the government
housing project in this city will
soon cease and that arrangements
will result in plumbing being plac-
ed in accordance with city ordin-
ances.
Members of the city commission
visited Davenport city officials yes
terday for the purpose of discuss
ing the situation.
A representative Of the United
States housing corporation is now
in the tri-cities to make inyestiga-
tions regarding the trouble that has
arisen, and it is expected the stu
alton will be settled in manner
satisfactory to all.
The matter of placing lead pipes
instead of iron in the streets has
already been settled. Practically
one-half of the street service pipe
will be lead when completed, and
the city will endeavor to have the
iron pipe taken up in the spring
and lead pipe put IN. The city
plumbing inspector holds that The
plumbing in the residences is be
ing installed in such a manner that
will occasion unsanitary conditions.
Davenport officials learned while in
Washington a short time ago that
the houses are to be sold to indl-
viduals eventually, and the city Off
Gals desire that the residences be
in good condition when this pro-
cedure takes place.
