Fleet Head Says Shipbuild-

of Uncertainty
GOES TO CAPITAL
FOR CONFERENCE

The signing OF the armistice with
Germany and the coming OF peace
marks the beginning Of a new epoch in
American Shipbuilding, according to
Charles NJ. Schwab, director general OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Mr.. Schwab made this statement after
an ovation by 1000 officers and en-
ployes Of the Fleet Corporation upon
his arrival in Philadelphia from New
York yesterday at noon. He left Phila-
delphia last night for Washington,
where he will attend an important
conference on shipbuildlng today.
THE continuation Of the shlpbuild-
ing program" said MFR. Schwab, twill
be the biggest factor In tidlng over
the period between war production and
peace conditions. The situation Will
soon adjust itself, however, and the
whole labor problem will smooth out
automatically as the readjustment goes
on.

craft we could get 10 MI the impera-

the aggregate vessels have been over

struct.
Greater efficiency and economy in
production will rule hereafter. While

must ultimately build in order TO COM

Three million dollars an hour is
the record breaking sum paid far

estimate made by experts at the in

Producers received more than S37,-
100000 for hogs sold in the Chicago
market last month. This estimate
is based on the arrival of 900. 600
hogs at the local stockyards. the
minimum market price of which was
fixed by the government at $3.50
per hundred pounds.
Livestock experts declare that the
farmers are now receiving more
than twice as much for their hogs as
before the war, and their shipments
are from 10 to Is per cent above
normal The price OF cattle and
sheep also has increased enormous

These estimates are based on a

MAD0O ASKS FUTURE LOANS
Seeks to Have Congress Authorize
Additional Credits to Allies

Congress was asked by Secretary
McAdoo in a Letter made public Mon
day TO authorize the continuation Of
loans to the allies for one year after
the termination OF the war to finance
the purchase of foodstuffs and recon-
struction materials in this country.
No additional appropriation for loans
TO allies was sought, but it was sug-
gested that the proposed peacetime
provision apply to the $500. 900, ,O0e
of the s1O,000,O0 900 appropriated
for allied loans. which Secretary
McAdoo estimated will remain unex-
pended when peace is declared. I'm

While the tanks were going through

THE program was carried out with
more success than even the Germans
themselves expected. When the slow
moving forts reached the given point
they were met by the mysterious and
seemingly futile bombardment. This
was really cleverly schemed, however.
Each of the impotent-appearing pro-
jectiles was a carbon-dioxide bomb,
fired from a hand mortar On burst
ing, each projectile filled the atmos-
phere in that vicinity with a tremend-
Gus amount of the gas.
"Now, carbon-dioxid gas is not real
ly dangerous to human life. 1t is
only when the oxygen is vitiated in a
stuffy room that il really has the
ability to do much harm,
THE gas did not inconvenience the
drivers or gunners inside the tanks in
the least. 1t simply stopt the en-

How this was done can be under

it stops, the tank is immovable. No

plosive mixture to the carburetor in
an atmosphere of carbon dioxide
When the air became filed with this
gas the tanks became useless. Not
all the efforts of a million skilled me
chapics could have started the motor;
until the air intakes could suck il
pure air again Meanwhile the high
explosive shells got in their deadly
work.
Shortly after this the opinion wa.
officially voiced that the tanks never
would enter into serious action again
Now, however, it seems from report:
from the front that the tanks actual

but one thing. and that is, that some
Allied engineer has evolved a gas
mask of some kind which can be fit

HARVESTING NEARLY OVER
IN R0CKLAND VALLEY
Labor Shortage and Influenza Epi-
demic Put Back Harvesting of Sew
eral Thousand Acres Until Time for
Winter to Begin.

Power County farmers have gone
over the top" again. They are
through harvesting their 1918 grain
crops. There may be a field now and
then that is not harvested, but such
are few and far between. At the be-
ginning of November there were sew
eral thousand acres remaining to be
harvested, most of it in the foothills
of the Rockland Valley.
Shortage of labor during the har-
vesting season made it impossible to
do the work at that time Seeding
time came, and it was impossible to
both harvest and seed, and the har-
vesting went over. Then came the
flu, and it was so prevalent that half
the working force in the vicinity OF
Rockland was prostrated, and there
was a hating of all kinds of work,
and only that which was imperative
was done. Short spells of bad wealth
er have interfered since the crest OF
the flu epidemic passed, and prevent
ed the work being done sooner.
H. J. Heydlauf was in from Roy the
last of the week. and stated that har-
vesting was just about completed
