Marine Corps Head
Asks 5000 Recruits

Mai. Gen. George Barnett. COM
mandant Of the United states Ma
rine Corps, last night authorized
The Washington Herald to issue
the following statement. which
speaks for itself. relative to the
issues involved:
you have been more than kind
In the past In carrying Marine
Corps announcements. and am
going to appeal to you once more
TO assist US.
The War Department has author
ized an additional brigade Of Ma
rines for duty IN France, with its
necessary replacement units, ana
5000 enlistments are urgently need
ed, 5000 OF whom are desired during
the month Of May.
The Marine Corps will not lower
its standard-we want only young
men OF spirit, health and stamina.
There will probably be 1.so0 addl-
tional commissioned officers in the
Marine Corps, and every one OF
these commissions will be given to
enlisted Marines. The Marine Corps
is equipped to train the new re-
cruits quickly and thoroughly.
THE corps has a glorious history
and inculcates a wonderful spirit.
This is probably the last chance OF
those young Americans who have
become Of age since last June TO
choose their branch of the service.
None wanted but American citizens
of at least IS years OF age and who
have the fighting spirit.
Il again thank you for your help
in the past.
signed: GEORGE BARNETT.
Major General. Commandant." "

SCHWAB GIVEN
WARMSUPPORT
FROM HURLEY
Shipping Board Chairman
Speaks in Heartiest Terms
Of Abnormal Ability.


This building of ships is in itself
one of the greatest battles of the war,
and to our side has stepped the great
est captain OF industry that the world
has produced-charles NJ. schwab."
Such was the complimentary way in
which Edward N. Hurley. chairman OF
the United States Shipping Board. re-
ferred last night to the newly ap-
pointed Director General of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation at a joint
meeting of the officers and employees
OF the Shipping Board and Fleet Cor
poration held in Central High School.
His Compliment.
After describing the operations OF
the dual organization. Mr.. Hurley
spoke OF Mr.. Schwab's appointment as
follows:
IF 1t were not for the fact that you
had put forth special effort and had
done your work well We would not be
in the advanced position we hold to-
day With the preliminary work which
is so essential in any large organiza-
ton nearing completion there now
opens up the broader field of our ac-
tivities-the fulfllment of the purpose
which we have set out to accomplish,
namely, the actual construction OF the
ships.
II have known Mr.. Schwab for
twenty years, and we all know OF his
unmatched genius for accomplishment.
So with the daily pressing need for
haste in getting this work OF ship
building done; the eVer-increasing
need OF fastening the work OF rolling
mills, speeding up plants engaged in
fabricating work. hurying steel deliv.
cries and energizing shIpyard workers,
I naturally turned to the man best
fitted to this task.
II turned to Mr.. Schwab in full con-
fidence that he, II all others, can
most accelerate this work, and ! ap-
pealed to him in full confidence that
his spirit of patriotism would lead
him to make any sacrifice TO join
forces with US.
when. I made the appeal to him
he sold: Hurley, want my country
to succeed in this war. Its needs are
paramount to any personal or busi-
ness interest that i may have. II my
country needs me 1 will drop every
thing and build ships The best evil
dence as to the popularity OF his Sc
lection is the spontaneous and uneni-
nous approval OF the press ard the
American people. The board OF trus-
tees has given him full and complete
authority and stands ready to sup
port his every effort.
Following Mr.. Hurley was Charles
Piez. vice president and general man.
ager Of the Emergency Fleet COrDoTa-
ton, and Bainbridge Colby. of the
Shipping Board. Mr.. Piez spoke OF
the rapidity with which the feet
corporation had been put together
and described in more or less detail
the splendid work 1t had accomplished
up to the present time.
Commissioner Colby, after picturinG
conditions in France as they related
to war needs, told the 1,SOO present
that ships and more OF them with
which to transport the sinews OF wal
abroad, were of pressing and para
mount Importance.

PLANS
FOR 12O new
WOODEN SHIPS
Will Be Of 400 Tons Each,
Some Replacing $500
Class Vessels.

Edward N. Hurley. chairman OF the
Shipping Board. announced last night
that plans were under way for the
construction OF 40 additional wooden
vessels. They viii be OF L7oo tons.
Some will replace the 3,5oo-ton ships
under contract. but not yet on the
ways.
Making study.
A study is boms made of the COM
mercial requirements Of the country
to determine the shipping program
OF the near future. Mr.. Hurley ex-
plained that the question Of actual
tonnage was more important than
the number of vessels. More ton
mage, with fewer vessels, could be
moved with the same quantity OF
coal, a question which Is vital to
the shipping program just at iresent,
Mr.. Hurley explained that the Se'-
OOO, 900 for cement ships, which Con-
gress is debating, will be utilized In
five yards with about twenty-five
ways. 1t will construct about thirty
ships. There will be a let-up In the
pressure for new yards, the board
feeling tina: it should develop the
present yards to their maximum ca
pacity.
what Il Bowlesf
The question arose as to what was
the status or Rear Admiral Bowles.
His designR ti0n Is assistant General
Manager. But since Charles "A. Piez
relinquished the title OF manager,
and Charles NJ. schwab was made
Director General, 1t Is questioned
whether there IL any such place as
assistant General Manager.
Threat of some Of the clerks In
he Shipping Board that they will
resign II the U1lces are moved to
Philadelphia nave made no impress
sion on the chairman. He says eighty
per cent at least OF the employees
ere persons wh0 came here from
other cities, md they will be able
TO absorb the work Of the others
easily until additional help Is found.
Mr.. Hurley announced that the pro-
ject to build a S5,0O0.0O0 structure
here for the Shipping Board will be
abandoned.

FUELLESS PERIODS
ended FOR BUSINESS
Fuel Board Says No More Contem-
plated Unless Plans Miscarry.

There will be no more fueIless
periods for industries. unless the
summer plans of the Fuel Adminis-
tration go wrong completely. 1t was
announced last night.
This statement was made follow
ing rumors that DR.. Harry A. Gar
field, the Fuel Administrator. and
William G. McAdoo. Director Gen.
eral OF Railroads. were comforting
on setting more fuelless days. Di-
rector General McAdoo Is in the
West and he and DIR. Garfield, have
not been In communication on the
subject.
Moreover, it Is pointed out by
fuel off1cials, the various indus
tries. by their own actions, are
making fuelless days all the less
probable. They have agreed among
themselves to certain curtailments
of fuel, amounting in some cases to
nearly 80 per cent. Manufacturers
are constantly promising in groups
to reduce coal consumption in the
lesser Industries.

The Interstate Commerce COmrlrs-
sion yesterday refused to approve an
increase OF Iates on coal carried by
,he LshiSh Valley Transportation

il the first action of this kind since
the differences between John Skelton

ZION and DIR. Harry A. Garfield. of
the Fuel Administration. over the bid
ding of the railroads for coal.
The railroads maintained that IL
they CUIld not get coal at low prices.

granted or the travelling public be
compelled to pay more for transporta-
tiOn. The President ended the dis
