by its foul methods of warfare it has already
sunk many millions Of tons of ships Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up bat
we have to provide large further tonnage to
keep sending soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
denied job of not only feeding our own army put
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only a part of what need. Later on those ships
will be necessary in bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and Tor
time to come the movement is one OF full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States is the greas reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enOr-
nous gain In exports shows how other ma
tions increasingly looking to us to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline,
still on the whole there is every probability of
their increasing not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many Of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas of Russia, are in the
Germans possession Conditions In Russia are
chaotic The western European allies produced
In 1917 about 90 100000 bushels less than the
nual pre-war average. There was great drop
also In the wheat production of other European
countries Argentina. Australia and India
producing good crops. But there is no shipping
to move 1t properly.
While the war Is on there is a big enough de-
mand from our allies In Europe for materials of
all kinds. We have to supply coal, STEEL oil, cot
tOn lumber, rails. locomotives and a great guam
tity Of other products. After the war when the
Job of rehabilitsting Europe is put through the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac-
tureti material of all kinds will be enormous. We

CATTLE AFTER WAR

The United States at present
probably has more purebred
cnttle OF beef and dairy types
than II possessed by any other
nation or combination Of ma
tlons, according 10 the depart
ment OF agriculture. At the
close OF the war European coun-
tries will require the different
types of purebred animals 10 re-
build their depleted herds.
Study of present and future
world conditions leads TO the
conclusion that continental Ecu.
rope Will bid high for the dairy
type, while Russln will require
all types, especially the beef
types. 1t seems certain that Inn
porting countries Will require
cattle free from disease.
Disease eradication I'm our cat
tie is therefore "A matter Of the
highest Importance not only for
the benefit of our own CONSUME
ers but TO facilitate nfter-the-

We need ample ships the Pacific to

Russia and Australia. All of these countries as
well as Central and South America. have materials
or products which need just as they need ours
Australia recently had surplus stated to be
300 600 600 bushels of wheat and another big sur
plus in process of gathering. There was enough,
in fact to feed England and France for a year
But it was of practical use to the allies There

which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to
England.
Last year there was a surplus in Java of 1000.
600 tons Of sugar which other parts OF the world
needing badly could get because of lack of
ships.
Great heaps OF coffee were spelling on the East
Indian wharves. There was no shipping TO move
1t other countries.
Pyrites which badly needed here could not
be brought from Spain because Of the want OF
ships.
These are but a few examples of what ship
famine means
Besides the many millions of tons of shipping
needed for the purposes already described. there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number of ships tugs and barges Tor domes-
tic coastwise, lake and Inland waterway trans
portation These are Of the most vital impor-
lance to the farmer. Our inland. lake and coast
waterways be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products. and freight
of all kinds can be sent back on the return
trip This transportation will be cheaper to
the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway
congestion
In less than years time the accomplish
lnents of the United States shipping board hive
been on an unprecedented scale. Where in 1917
there were only 81 shpyard plants in the United
States. there now 15S. and more are be-
ing constantly established. The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for S,1S3-
600 deadweght tons Of ships. and has already
put in service 81 Ill lightweight tons OF new
shipping. This in addition to 2Os3.S36 dead
weight tons OF neutral and allied ships under
charter, German and Austrian ships seized. and
Dutch ships requistioned. 1t is launching new
ships rapidly. and is beginning to make provi-
sion for tugs and barges for inland and coast
wise water traffic. From the small number Of
44026 men employed In American shipyards on
April 1. 1917. the force Of shipbuilders In our
yards has now increased - 100000.

Washington: Sept 18.-German dis chalmers of knowledge of Austria's in tention to despatch Scr proposal for non binding discussions of peace are being made in the face of information of the Americai government that the German government was fully aware Of it's a1ly's purpose.
 It is not known that Germany gave her specific approva.- to the Austrian move, but officials are satisfied that if approval was withheld it was solely for the reason that doubt was enter tained as to the success of the under taking
 That the German government was in full sympathy with the Austrian pur- pose is regarded as established from the record. Officials today called at tention to the fact that this latest proposal was in reality nothing more than an elaboration in many words of one of the initial peace efforts launch ed by both Germany and Austria Dec F. 1916. As in the present case, the special interest of the pope was so- licited and the neutral states were notified Officials here see the marked resemblance between the two proposi- tions.

RENEWAL OF BRIDGEPORT
 STRIKE IS THREATENED

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. IS. The status quo has been reached in Bridgeport strike situation with fifty employees of the U1Ion Metallic Car fridge company on recess" and sev- enty employees of the Liberty Ordnance company not reinstated pending inter- pretation of the national war labor boards ruling and the ordnance de- partment action in supplying muni- tions work.
 Messages have been sent to Messrs. Taft and Walsh of the national war labor board asking for an interpreta- tion of the order demanding that the men be reinstated upon their old work. Twelve girls working upon grinding operations at the U. M. C. company have displayed an equal number of returning strikers who were offered other work, but declare the wage rate is too low. The company officials re- fuse to displace the girls until they are ordered to do so by the war board.
 At the Liberty Ordnance plant. op- erated by the American Can company for the government, officials claim they have no work for the men still unemployed. They await ordnance de- partment sanction before reinstating them in idleness. The matter has been placed before Waldo c. Bryant, chief of the Bridgeport ordnance di- vision, and in turn transmitted to the procurement division at Washington in the hope that immediate work will be granted the Liberty Ordnance plant. Both sides ill the controversy be- tween labor and industry here accuse the other side of quibbling and new rupture is nomentarily threatened.
