 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 27.- "As commander-in-chief of the Brit ish forces, am determined to fight on until the freedom of mankind is safe from the threat of Prussian- ism," declared General Sir Douglas Ifaig in a cablegram received today by President Wilson.

 General Haig's cable was sent in reply to a message of praise and congratulations recently sent by the President to the British leader for the wonderful resistance which was being made by the British armies in France. General Haig, in his re- ply, stated that the confidence of the American nation in the British forces was highly pleasing to him and the armies. and they would demonstrate that it was not mis- placed.

HOG ISLAND TO
 COST $4O,0oO,0OO

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar D. The. great Hog Island shipbuilding plant, located in the government naval yards at Philadelphia, will cost the government when it is com pleted between $35 5,000.00O and $40,- 100000, according to the testimony of John Freeman, a naval architec- tural expert, before the senate com merce commission today. Freeman was brought here by the contractors for the purpose of refuting the all legged mismanagement and graft stories which have been circulating throughout the country in connection with the Hog Island project.
 The original figures of the cost of the construction of the great plant were placed at $25,000.000. but this amount was greatly exceeded. The government program calls for 12O fabricated steel ships to be built at this plant. The department of jus tice has a number of men detailed to investigate graft charges in con- nection with this work, and the sen ate is also making thorough inves- tigation.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 27.- Because of the serious shortage of wheat in Franco, the bread rations of the French soldiers have been reduced as much as it is considered safe and still keep them in physical condition. Official ad;ices received
 onight by the national food admin istration state that the French gov ernment is endcavoring to collect all wheat within the republic and ave it as far as possible for the ab
 olute needs of the military.
 Food Controller Hoover announced
 onight that additional supplies of wheat will be rushed to France in the shortest possible time.

MANY VESSELS
 ARELAUNCHED
 BY AMERICANS
ssor,ated Pr~ss'


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 27.- The federal shipping board tonight announced the exact figures show ing the progress of American ship building since the board began work last summer. These figures show that a total of 1S8 vessels have been launched from American shipyards
 Out of this number 103 have been completed and are now in active service. The remaining S5 ships are in the process of completion and will be in commission within a few weeks.
 The board states, however, that all of these vessels have not been built under government contracts. In fact, the great majority of them were contracted for and started be- fore the shipping board came into existence. Many of them were for American shipping firms and large part of them were for foreign gov. ernments. The number of vessels built under government contract is only g. 165 of them being requisi tioned. Eleven of the launchings were wooden ships.
 Chairman Hurley announces that the rate at which these vessels were constructed Is far exceeded by the rate at which work is progressing at this time and that just esti- mate of the output of American ship builders cannot be formed If these figures are used as basis.

ODESSA
 IS RECAPTURED
Associated prassp

LONDON, Mar. 27.-Dispatches re- ceived here today from Moscow state that the soviet forces, aided by an Ukrainian army, have succeeded in recapturing the great Black Sea port of~Odessa and have driven the Teu- tons in that vicinity further to the northeast toward the main body of Germans which is operating in the Black Sea provinces. The Russian Black Sea naval forces played an important part in the recapture of the city.
 Odessa was taken from a force of Red Guards several days ago and large quantity of war materials and other stores badly needed by the central powers was thus ob- tained from storage houses in the city. A part of these stores have already been shipped away by the Teutons, but the greater part were recovered by the Russians today.

PARCELS POST WEIGHT LIMIT
 IS INCREASED

From the office of the third as- sistant postmaster general instruc- tions are issued to all postmasters requesting that they call the atten- tion of their patrons to the change in the weight schedule. for their re- spective zones.
 According to the provisions of paragraph one, section 454, of the postal laws and regulations, which have been amended and were ef- fective March IS, 1918. the limit of weight for fourth class matter has been increased to 70 pounds for par cells to be delivered within the first, 'econd and third zones, and to 50 pounds for parcels mailed for deliv- cry in any of the other zones.
 This change will serve to increase the usefulness and the availability of the parcel post as prompt, con- venient and cheap means of trans porting mailable parcels. The in- creased weight limit will be particu- larly advantageous in the marketing of the products of the farm, as 1t will make 1t possible for producer and consumer to get into direct con tact, thereby facilitating the conser. vation and distribution of food. which is a most important factor in win ming the war.
 The increased weight limit does not apply to parcels sent to the ex- peditionary forces in Europe. Par cells mailed to these forces must not exceed seven pounds in weight.
