ALL NEW VESSELS TO IL RtTILT
WITH REFERENCE TO PROB
ABLE TRADE USES. 49,.

Washington, Nov, 18:-While shin
building in this country is to be CON
hnued steadily, the program Of the
shipping board, based. on war needs.
will be revised and designed for ships
will be changed with particular refer.
ence to the economical cost of opera
ton, Chairman Hurley said today in a
statement outlining the boards peace
time plans.
The continued need for building
American owned tonnage is obvious. !"
said Mr.: Hurley. "Not only must we
continue to supply our armies over
seas and prepare to bring them home
at the earliest moment compatible
with safety, but Europe must be fed
and supplied with the necessary ma
teriais to permit the reconstruction
Of devastated areas in order that both
our friends and our enemies may pe-
come self-supporting, and the burden
of feeding the world taken from our
shoulders.
There are not enough ships in the
world to carry on this work and to
provide Immediately for ordinary
commerce. For that reason only a
limited portion Of the shipping which
can be constructed by us in 1919, will
be available for use in the ordinary
commercial channels.
"For two months the shipping board
has been making complete survey
of its construction program and con-
tracts. Believing that the emergency
war pressure which necessitated the
speediest construction possible would
soon end, the investigation has been
with view to a replanning of the
ships to be constructed from this date
forward. It is planned that from now
on ships will be built with special re-
ference to suit ability for special ser
vice, and with particular reference to
the economical cost of operation, in
cluding the motive power, cargo space
and speed.
1t also planned that these shah
be built with reference TO probable
trade uses and trade lines 40 as to
adapt them to particular uses and TO
increase the speed Of the turn around
of the ship this because every unnec-
essary delay in loading and unloading
must be eliminated"

Not the least pressing of the prob
LENS Of peace 50: far iass erica is
'eonee1nsd, is that: Of iaaaigration.
From across tie seas as wall as from
te lips of returning travellers, we hear
tAbt one Of the most common ques-
tions is How soon after the war ends
ahall be able to get to America ~
America, it seems, is again to be the
land Of promise for the war weary
who see in the great Republic an ave-
nue. Of escape from the burdens which
must inevitably fall upon European
shoulders.
It goes without saying, in this con-
nection, that our first thought must
be Of our own boys who are coming
back to us from the battlefield. It
will be time after we have provided
Tor them, to consider what we can,do
Tor the foreigner But there is a
deeper problem than this. It has to
do with the character Of those who
seek asylum amongst us.
We are told that the Bolsheviki
horror in Russia was engineered prin-
cipally by long-haired anarchists from
the East Side Of New York. Trotsky,
the unspeakable, is fair sample. Let
us say at once that there is no shelter
under the Stars and Stripes for Trot7
skys Of Europe. Somehow we must
draw a line between the honest, ser
ious minded immigrant, and the scouA-
drd who proposes to use our freedom
for purposes Of destruction. The Unit
ed States cannot give safe harbor to
those who are at heart Just as much
Of menace to Democracy as they are
to their outgrown governments it has
displaced
! The war has knit Ms together in
America as nothing else could do. It
abolished the hyphen at one stroke.

this country for any one who attempts
. to link his citizenship to something IN
another land. We shall tolerate no
German-Americans or any other kind.

I Andrew H. Burke, second governor
OF North. Dakota, died Sunday at his
home in Roswell, New Mexico, where
he was government land commission
er.
At the time of his election to the
gubernatorial chair, Burke was a
banker in Cass county. He succeeded
Governor Miller in Office, and served
for but one tem-1890-92. The lead
ing features Of his administration
were laws for military code, author
izing state bonds for $50, 900 to pay
North Dakota's share Of the indebted
ness to the territory of Dakota; a gem
eral election law; law to promote ir-
rlgation, and a law empowering the
governor to appoint a commission to
compile laws. This commission found
that there was no law on the books
which provided for the election of
presidential electors. and which conse-
quently debarred the state from vot-
ing for president. This they reported
to the governor, who called special
session June 1st, 1891, when the COM
mission presented laws remedyine the
defects, and which were put up to the
legislature by Governor Burke. Tins
North Dakota voted for president for
the first time in 1892, when Grover
Cleveland was elected. .s2,.}T.r
Burke vetoed a bill favored by the
Farmers Alliance compallnaf !, rail-

for building elevators and warehouses
for the storage of grain. ON terms and
conditions obnoxious to the roads. be-
cause he considered the bill unconsti-.
tutional. p: :.
When again he was the candidate
for election, the Farmers Alliance
formed fusino party with the Dem.
ocrats, and though Burke got the Re-
publican nomination at the primaries.
he was defeated at the general elec-
ton.
Then he left the state and went to
Duluth, Minn., where he engaged in
the grain business for four years. Be-
ing unsuccessful in this undertaking.
he was, through the influence of Knute
Nelson, appointed u. S. Land Commits

HAY WORTH $44 PER
TON A BISMARCK


Bismarck, Nov. 19.-With hay at
$44 per ton and scarce, North Dakota
stockmen are culling out their herds
and disposing of everything which is
not prime stock, worth of such a lux
urious diet. The immediate result
will be a depletion of North Dakota
herds. but ultimately it is expected to
greatly improve the standard. The
average price for hay the last ten
v""rs has been $15. This years high
:: is due to small crop and to a
tage of labor for the harvesting
.'e small amount of hay that was
" >hle. Hay seems unobtainable at
any price and the only remedy is the
reduction In the size of herds.
