IT'S LIBERTY DAY
FOR SHIPBUILDERS
Hurley Sends Message to All
Yards on American Coast

Washington, April 6.--In 1872 ship
yards from Maine to Florida on the
Atlantic coast, along the shores Of the
Gulf and the Pacific, and on the
Great Lakes, today is being celebrated
as Liberty Day" the first anniversary
of Americas entrance into the world
war in which ships are playing a
dominant part.
Raising of the new flag of the
United States Shipping Board was
made the central event in the pro-
gram for the patriotic exercises, which
included the singing of the national
anthem and America" repeating the
pledge of allegiance to the republic,
and the reading of an appeal from
Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
Shipping Board, asking them to dedi-
cate themselves to their country's
service by building ships to nullify the
work of the German submarines.
Mr.. Hurley's message follows:
"At this hour of national peril,
when the forces of despotism, long
gathered, are hurting themselves
against u.s. I call upon you, the ship
builders of America, to put forward
all your might to our common pur-
pose. 1t was an evil thing that the
phrase was coined that we do our bit.
The nation of which each member to-
day merely does his bit is lost. Do
ing our bit is too small a bucket to
bail back the sea. The tide of des-
potism Is too great for such small and
unavailing measures. We must do
our all.
And, therefore, on this day, mark
ing the anniversary of our entrance
-; ,Ix Ill,
ton. it is fitting that / appeal to you,
for the large and full measure of your
help. And I ask you, far as is pos
sible that you consider that my ap-
peal is personal to yourself, each man
of you in the shipyards of America.
And [ ask you to scrutinize yourself
and to put to yourself the question,
each man of you, whether you yet
work to your highest limit. For your
brothers and your sons and the men
who were the comrades at your elbow
in other days are fighting in the
trenches of France; and their safety
depends upon the measure and the
quality of your work. Their NUM-
tons of war, their reinforcements and
their food are dependent upon the
rivets that you drive and the ships
YOU launch. The great battlefelds-
next to the smoking battlefield of
Francois the blacksmith shop, the
machine shop and the shipping ways;
and the roar of your furnaces and the
noise of your riveting arise from your
strife and mighty contest which
must hold open the seas for civiliza-
ton 1t is a high and honorable re-
sponsibility that rests on you, the
shipbuilders of America, and you
must meet it fully.
"And some day, when this war is
done and German despotism has been
destroyed, it will be not only our army
and navy who will pass in glorious
review before our nation, but also it
will be the shipbuilders of America
to whom our gratitude is shown-the
shipbuilders VINO worked with full
and untiring endeavor through many
days and months in order that the
ocean might be bridged and civiliza-
ton be preserved"
officers of the shipbuilding COM
panies and prominent citizens and
state officials joined with the workmen
in the exercise.

CUBA CELEBRATES
WAR ANNIVERSARY
|Island Nation Entered Conflict
With Germany Year Ago

Havana, Cuba, April 6.-On the
declaration of war against Germany,
Havana presents today a festive ap-
pearance and, as Sunday is g. day of
celebration in all Latin-American
countries extensive preparations have
been made for a demonstration of
loyalty to the Entente Allies tomor-
row.
Since Cuba's war declaration many
activities, some military and naval,
others economic, have been put in
motion here to aid the United States.
From the time when the German and
Austrian steamships seized in Cuban
Awaters were turned over outright as
gift to the United States Shipping
kpard, until the present, when Cuba
mobiIizing her military resources to
I'D force of from 900 to TO-
men to France. the whole policy
he republic has been to subor-
other matters to those obliga-
of alliance which her declara-
war entailed. The Cuban
Ind navy have been reorgan-
IzsCs N~h1d experts from the United
States army staff have estimated that
CGba's military force could be en-
larged to a maximum Of 100, 600 men
and maintained at that figure indefi-
nitely.
The Cuban navy has assumed pa
troll duty not only in Cuban terri
torial waters but also far out in the
Caribbean, and it has been augment
ed by a fleet of submarine chasers,
while other craft are under construc-
ton. In addition to these military
and naval measures, many young
Cubans are now in the French battle
lines as infantrymen and aviators. AS
instructors for the Cuban Escadrille,
which is intending to sail shortly for
the French front, the Allies detailed
two of their leading airmen to Ha-
vana, and both these flyers were
native Cuhans.
Economically, Cuba's service has
been conspicuous. Cubas crop of
sugar this year totals 100000 long
tons, which is said to be the greatest
sugar crop ever raised by one coun-
try in the worlds history The en-
tire crop has been turned over to
agencies of the United States food
administration and is being marketed
at a figure which, while it brings
diminished profit to it's patriotic pro-
ducers, at the same time has tended
to safeguard the world from profiteer-
ing and extortion in this essential
food commodity.
Besides this, Cuba is developing. her
AGRICULTURAL resources in other lines
to great degree; so 1t is hoped that
the necessity for insisting this year
on the usual importations of food
Ftuffs from the United States will be
diminished in the months to come
The Cuban Red Cross headed by
Madame Mariana Seva de Menocal,
wife of President Menocal has raised
f1,000,000 for its work, and is now
equtpping a hospital unit exclusively
of Cuban physicians and nurses for
service in France. al
