Mailed Fist Of Kaiser Trying TO
Break Down Strike In
Empire.
ULT|MATUM IS ENDED
Although Strikers Spirit Seem,

London. Feb. 6.-Whether the
mailed fist Of the kaiser is able to
beat down the empire-wide strike will
settle whether Germany will again
face the world with solid front.
Despite a rigid censorship, reports
which have leaked through from Ber
lin contain unmistakable evidence
that Germany is like a powder keg.
While under strong repressive mil.
itary measures the general strike ap
pears to be diminishing in Importance,
the strikers are still hitting back with
heroic fury. But the realization that

Britain Charged
With the Scheme

Finding there was on the part o.
loyal Americans a strenuous opposi-
ton to the first wooden ship pro-
gramme, certain propagandists Of
German sentiments before the war
accused Britain Of having fostered
the wooden ship plan.
On June 9, 1917, "The New York
American" said:
ENGLAND surely cannot ask the
United States to build wooden ships
whose sole purpose is to save Eng
land, while England is building only
steel ships, selfshly to save herself"
On June Is, 1917, the same paper
said:
England was not only building
ships at home, but she had loaded up
every American shipbuilding con-
Germ with orders for steel ships.
by most peculiar arrangement
these American shipbuilding con-
Germs were given contracts to build
steel ships for England on slow
time. in order to make sure that
these ships were built on slow time
the contracts were made at prices
from $50 to $50 higher ton than
the British government paid in its
own yards.
"The object of this policy is so
plain that even Ounce might be
able to perceive it. The intention
was to keep American shipyards so
busily occupied building steel mer-
chant ships for England's use after
the war that America itself could
build no merchant fleet with which

yards had to be created to build
them, and l have no doubt that Ger
man money hidden here in the
United States wasn't slow in avail
ing itself of the opportunity for
graft. Many of these new yards
were located in the southeast, and
the result has been that our eff
cheney was slowed up in some cases
by the railroads having to bring
Douglas fir from the Pacific Coast,
because in ships built of unseasoned
wood, as the war emergency ships
are, Southern pine was unsuitable
for keelsons and other of the larger
ship parts. Why this situation
should have been allowed to occur
I'm afraid only heaven and Germany
know. And the first design for
wooden ships, with wood bent almost
at right angles and held together by
steel bands-that design was also to
Germany's advantage, though the
designers didn't intend it to be SO.
>For building such ships not only
would be hindrance to our war ma
chine, but we should have wasted a
lot of money in ships which when
the war was over would be useless
for peaceful trade and the United
States would still have to continue
to pay toll to German ships to carry
American goods overseas and con-
tinue to refine the German war chest
by the sweat of American indus
tries.

months is good example, and a let
ter l received in October, 1917, three
months after Mr.. Denman's removal

what Mr.. Hurley had to contend
with:
after Capps went into the
Fleet Corporation he got any
number of letters from people
warning him against building steel
ships or buying from the Steel
Trust. Would this be natural for
the ordinary American to do. or
would it be more natural for
Bernstorff's clique: that wrote

What England
Was Doing

The fact regarding the quotations
I've given from various anti-British
papers is that England never asked
the United States to build wooden
ships. Furthermore, she herself was
not building only steel ships" There
were many wooden ships being built
for her not only in this coun-
try but in Canada prior to our en-
trance into the war-wooden ships,
although war emergency yet Of a
design not to be scrap" after the
war, as unfortunately the design Of
our first wooden ships would prove
to be if the word of wooden ship
builders in condemning it and the
action of Mr. Hurley in discarding
it can be taken as criterion. The
steel ships England was building
here were all ordered prior to our
entrance into the war and some Of
them were already in the water at
The time. The British .Ameri-
can newspapers failed to state this
failed to state that England was
building ships all over the world.
Again, these same papers had
no justification for saying England
paid American yards $50 to $50 a
ton higher than her own wards in
order that American-built ships
would be built on slow time. The
wages of labor here made the cost Of
American ships $50 to $50 ton
higher, and England. needing ships
as quickly as she could get them.
paid the piper
As to the direct statement of in
;idious anti-British propaganda that
England asked the United States to
build wooden ships while England
confined herself to steel, Mr.. Den
man, the first head Of The
Shipping Board, has personally
said that the idea of the wooden
ship was suggested on February
lS, 1917, by an engineer named
Eustls. Mind you, we didn't
enter the war until nearly two
months later. And two days before
VIC entered the war-two days be-
lore England could have officially
made any suggestions to us-Mr.
Denman himself launched the ia
