HURLEY GIVES
ASSURANCES TO
OUR NEICHB0RS
Americas Merchant Marine
Must Bring Prosperity to
all says Shipping Head.

Philadelphia, July 26.-Latin- Am
erican diplomats, the guests of the
shipping board at an inspection of
Hog Island shipyard, were told today
by Chairman Hurley that the great
merchant marine now being built by
the United States must bring pros
perity to Americas neighbors as well
as to this country, or the pride of the
United States in the achievement will
be diminished.
You may send back to your own
peoples the word that these ships will
not be used exclusively for this ma
tion's aggrandizement in peace" he
declared, "any more than they are
used for such aggrandizement in the
war that now is waging. Our duty
now is to build a bridge of ships to
our fighting front in France Our
expectation is that a large part of this
bridge will be used to connect us
more closely with our neighbors when
used as freely and with quite as much
advantage by our neighbors as by
ourselves.
1T has been laid down as rule of
our conduct at home during the war
that no excessive profit shall be made
out of the struggle of humanity. That
rule will not be lifted when peace
comes"
Mr. Hurley spoke at luncheon in
the dining room of the International
Shipbuilding corporation with the
rattle of pneumatic hammers audible
from the worlds greatest shipyard
outside. After the luncheon the
guests were taken over the yard and
its fifty ways from which the first
ship will be launched August and
from which Mr.. Hurley told the visit
ors it is expected to- launch three
ships a week. i.
The great fleet that this country is
building will be operated after the war
upon principles which recognize hu-
man and national rights and equities
said Mr.. Hurley. That fleet will serve
Latin-America as it serves the people
of the United States. It will serve the
world as America is now serving the
world in fighting for the cause OF
liberty.
The great merchant fleet. created
out of an imperative war need, has
dedicated by America to the cause OF
liberty-your liberty as we'll as ours
and SO long as the American flag floats
at the masthead Of single ship that
cause shall never be forgotten.

Correspondent Says
French Leave Fewer Il
Men Behind In Fight

London. July accompanying the
work of the, French and American
troops in the battle now going on,
Reuters correspondent at American
headquarters writes:
The French have had four years
of hard study and the lesson most
laid to heart is the value to France,
of live Frenchmen and dead Germans.
When sacrifices are required they are
quite ready to make them, but pride
is to kill and pay little for killing.
They admire the reckless valor of the
Americans, but their own methods are
somewhat slower and more subtle.
Each gets to his objective but the
French leave fewer men behind"
