COOS BAY SHIpYARDS
LEAD IN UNITED STATES

Highest of all the praise and COM
mendation which the two shipyards
here have received is that which a
half page of statistics display in the
June oath Emergency Fleet News,
the publication issued by the United
States Shipping Board, which this
morning reached the desk of A. b.
Adelsperger, president of the Coos
Bay Shipbuilding Company, says the
Marshfleld Times.
OF all the yards in the United
States in which wood ships are un-
der construction, of wood and con-
crete ships or wood and steel ships
and the total number of such
yards is 79-the highest place in
rank is figured on promises Of deliv-
cry and accomplishment shows the
rame of Kruse & Banks Shipbuilding
Company, while the second highest
Lace shows Coos Bay Shipbuilding
Company. Over 100 per cent is the
record of achievement of each.
This is the standing since con-
struction began as figured on the
Lasis of actual erection inequivalent
dead weight tons as compared with
contract requirements,
Seattle's yards, Portlands yards,
San Francicco's yards, string along
down the list ahead of most of the
eastern yards. New York's yards,
those Of North Carolina and Florida,
and the Gulf of Mexico states, take
numbers along in the forties and
fifties.
And rot another yard in the list
Cf 70 has a production up to 100
PEI cent, in fact not another yard in
the list comes up to so per cent.
..bout 1O2 per cent is the record of
Xruce e Banks yards, while the
Coos Bay Shipbuilding Company
yard has something over 100 per cent
approximately 1O1 per cent The
Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging
Company of the Seattle district
comes in for third place with almost

TWO KINDS OF ALIENS
IN AMERICA TO WATCH

There are enemy aliens and there
are native aliens. The American who
does not do his part toward winning
the war, who neither fights nor
works nor lends for victory is as
much an alien to Americas purposes
and Americas cause as the rankest
Prussian interned in this country.
This is a war of peoples as well
as Of nations, and each individual
has a place and a duty.

Toxic, Mar. 25.-(By MaiI Sc Tho
japanese government is perfectly aware
that the war situation is fraught with
tho most momentous consequences, but
The people may rest assured that Japan
will never embark on an unnecessary
war. We will not hesitate to go to war
to uphold the interests OF Japan and
those Of the allies, but such step has
not yet been justified. =
Ine statement by Premier Count Ter
auchi in the national diet is an accu-
rate summary of Japan IS attitude today
taward the possibility of Japanese inter-
vention in Siberia.
This statement, coupled with the SYM
pathetic policy of President Wilson to-
ward Russia, has just about quieted tho
clamor for an immediate Japanese mil
itary expedition to Siberia which was
RI sounding throughout the island em-
pire only few days ago.
Two weeks ago q countrywide mob
ilization order was expected momen-
tarily. Reservists had been directed to
remain at home. Wild rumOrs of land
ing at Vladivostok were reported.
VIII Act With China.
Then, almost overnight, came the
realization that an expedition to Siber-
ia might be impracticable, that the Ger
man menace was yet a long ways from
the Orient.
Most important of the factors which
determined calmness in dealing with
Russia was probably America. 1t is now
recognized in the most Responsible
quarters that the United States is not
opposed to intervention in principle, nor
does she question Japan 3 motives. But
she does not want 10 sun the risk Of
al ousing Russian hostility against arm
ed intervention unless the German PEN
otTation eastward makes such policy
absolutely imperative.
Regardless of the outcome Of the Ger
man menace in Russia, it promises one
significant result. That is cooperation
between Japan and China, and adjust
ment of China IS internal disputes. The
latter prospect was the hope expressed
by Secretary Lansing in the note to Pc
king which caused such a furry in To-
kio.

Military experts saw in the western
situation today vast menace despite
the fact that the Teuton attack is less
forcible than before.
''The German offensive has not
spent itself - said the war summary
published today, "and owing to the de.
termination displayed by the enemy to
gain some sort of success at no matter
what cost, the situation will continue
uncertain for some time to come.
However, the general strategic and

The statement points out that the
Germans have failed in their time

more heavily on their reserves than
they had anticipated.

With the French Armies in The Field,
April Twenty divisions (2S0,-
cot men) of the ever-decreasing enemy
reserves have been sacrificed since
thursday before the French portion of
the battle front alone.
Half of these reserve divisions were
expended in an attempted enlightenment
of Amiens from the south, while the
remainder were sacrificed in small, To-
cal attacks, where, owing to French
pressure, the Germanswere compelled TO
attack to improve their positions.
a few French divisions sufficed to
iffeat the entire 25 German divisions.
The French consistently are employing
the minQlum forces necessary, insuring
ample reserves to meet the second main
offensive elsewhere and for the allies ,
counter offensive.
The Germans have brought up trench
mortars, which so far have been inef-
fective, owing to their inability to fol
low up the infantry since March "a.

Jockeying continues on the battle
front. Wherever the Germans occupy
low ground, they make local attacks
to win the ridges and other advantag-
eous "kick- off" positions. Such was
the motive for the Amas-V -Vimy drive
and the drive for Buccuoy, where they
wanted the high ground around Buc-
quoy. Hebutchon and Auchonvillers.
The enemy is striving for the hills
west of the Ancre valley, back of Alpert
and among >the rivers converging on
Amicns. The fighting hereabouts and to
the southwark is con the cards.
In all this cavalry, who have been
waiting two years had their longed for

Washington, April Stacking up
President Wilson s warning to tho

military bills intending to pass them
all before adjournment.
With leaders urging elimination Of
all needless debate three of the meas
ures were quickly disposed. Though
they appear of minor Importance in
the program c,f force, outlined by the
president at Baltimore, their speedy
passage Indicates that congress is in
working fettle.
The senate talked at length on the
bill to Jail sly propagandists who go
about spreading lies to delude the Am.

The measures passed by the house
provide protection for carrier pigeons
in the military or naval service; re-
stores to widows and dependents of
men killed in the war the six months
additional pay they received prior to
enactment of war risk insurance laws
and allows high authorities to sus-
