Of the world close enough to be able TO
draw on the large labor supply Of Phila-
delphia well situated with regard to
accessibility of railroad and water trans
portation, and alongside deep water in
which the ships could be launched,
The disadvantages OF the low lying
ground at Hog Island, necessltating
much pile-driving are more than offset
by It's proximity to Philadelphia, where
labor and materials can be obtained in
abundance.

Freeman replied
How about the fee the American In

job asked Chairman Fletcher. "Is 1t
too high?'
NO. the fec is extremely moderate
as big engineering contracts go" re-
piled Freeman. THE fee can be made
small. because after one ship is built
the job will be a repetition and the
overhead charge will accordingly be
small"

Fisher Still Against War

Thomas Fisher who yesterday urged
the members not to invest In Liberty
Bonds, War Saving or Thrift Stamps
and not to do anything that would assist
the Government in pursuing its military
operations, was equally confident today
that he was justified in saying that which
he did. He emphasized that he was sim
cere in his thoughts as against war and
could not, without committing mental
suicide" assist the carrying on of the
war.
"I emphasize It that I am against war
and against helping In any way to aid
its being carried out. You can shoot me
II you like or hang me for expressing
my sincere views, but can't help it,"
he said.
why should help the United States
Government buy guns to kill Germans
when I disapprove of all wars for any
pretense whatever? Haven't l right
to urge the doing away with war as
well as those seeming Friends who de-
mand its being operated for the good
of the country? A man in America must
be given some liberty of conscience I
come from England and my feelings
naturally with the cause of the Allies,
but I can't see even then how could con-
tribute one penny for the support Of the
Government in war"

WILSON AGAIN CONFERS
WITH "WAR COUNCIL"
German Drive Believed to Have I'm.
pressed Need of speeding UP"
Transport of Troops

Washington, March 81 - President
Wilson went into session with his war
council" again this afternoon--the Sec
ond conference of its kind at the White
House.
The west front drive has accentuated
the need, officials say, for speeding
American forces to Europe more rapidly
than ever, and the addition Of Secretary
Daniels to the group of war chiefs today
led to the belief that measures for in
creasing troops and supplies in France
were to be further discussed.
Before the conference convened Presi-
dent Wilson was informed of the latest
news from the west-front situation.

Under Article Z M. Lewis pointed
out that the city shall pay all perma-

of construction and the company must
be responsible for all damages resulting
from negligent operation.
Aicorn Critical
Mr.. Alcorn criticized many of the
statements in the lease as being SUPER
duous, whereupon Mr.. Lewis reminded
him that these unnecessary phrases had
to be added in order to satisfy opponents
of the lease who feared that the COM
many would escape some obligations by
crawling through loopholes in the lease.
Just before Mr.. Lewis began a review
Of the various portions of the lease
protest against its approval by the COM
mission was received from the Retail
0rocers' Association. This protest came
by wire and was not received gracously
by the Commission.
w. ID. b. Ainey. who presided, said:
"These unsupported protests give us
no help. We are not counting votes.
All these prstestants should appear be-
fore us In person"
A. Merritt Taylor, former Director
of City Transit, who has opposed the
! lease from the time 1t was introduced
into Councils last autumn presented
lengthy objection in pamphlet form and
containing fCrty.four printed pages.

The commission granted Mr.. Lewis's
