dence justifying the American Inter-
nationals present position.
Affairs GOrEanIEed Riot"
"Another fact of strong significance
is that while the contract provided,
in express terms, that an accurate
and detailed plant cost account should
be kept and contained very careful
provisions defining cost, yet the
American International at an early
date took the position that since the
Government paid for everything that
went into Hog Island 1t was un-
necessary to comply with this pro-
vision. Hence, at no stage. could be
determined what any unit OF the
ulant cost. Thus, II was never pos
sible for them to supervise their own
work or that OF their subcontractors
from the point of view of what the
work cost, This certainly was pos
sible without detriment to speed"
The investigators reported that
they could not examine into the al
fairs of the plant without super
ficially. at least, coming to the con-
clusion that 1t would impress any
one as an organized riot tangled
mass or state OF chaos"
The contract made between the
American International Shipbuilding
Corporation and the Emergency Fleet
CORPORATION required the agent to pur-
chase at a cost of 81 .706.0O0 q tract OF
$40 acres, to be utilized for the pur-
poses OF the contract upon, per

cent rental basis. The agent was OBJ
ligated to build on this tract ship
yard OF nifty ways with funds supplied
in advance by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, and with funds from the
same source to build fifty or more
steel cargo ships. The estimate in
October Of the final cost of the yard
was $21 ,o0o, 900, while the ships were
to be built at an estimated cost Of
81 100. 900 each.
On October %. 1917. the Emergency
fleet Corporation placed an additional
order for seventy ships with the agent.
These ships were to be nifty feet
longer than those of the first order,
thus requiring longer ways and piers
and additional shop and storage ca
pacity. These ships were to be built
at an estimated cost OF 1880, 900
each.
Revised Estimates.
The agent, the report continues, on
November 81 revised its estimate II
the cost OF the yard by adding there
to 50, 750, 900 on account OF the change
of the second ships and the further
sum of 81, $50 900 on account OF unfa'
vorable subsoil conditions, costly Ia
Dor and extensions to the plant, thus
bringing the total estimate of what
the yard would cost to $27.000. 900.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
on May z, 1918, placed another order
for sixty more ships of the style of
the FIRST group, estimated to cost
81 ,426, 900 each. The ships are all to
be completed BY August 4. 1919, the
report says.
The agents compensation for build

ing the yard and the ships was hxed
at q percentage of the estimated cost
OF the ships, with premiums for early
deliveries or savings in cost, and with
penalties for-delayed deliveries or
increased cost.
Studied Six Months.
The report emphasizes that these
two estimates were made by the agent
after study OF the project for six
months, negotiations having been car
ried on for four months before the
contract was signed In September,
and that as the agent was then evil
IDENTIFY well qualified to know what
the final cost of the yard would be,
the Emergency Fleet Corporation re-
lied on the estimates, which were the
basis upon which the work was au-
thorized by the feet corporation and
Congress-.
The Importance OF these estimates
lay in the fact that the feet corpora
ton was considering a reduction in
the size of the yard, so as to keep
substantially within the appropria-
ton Hence the agent knew that

mate action would be predicated and

Plan For Recruiting
Officers Is Changed

Washington, Oct. 22.-Recruiting Of
Officers for the army hereafter win be
centralized. The new personnel branch
of the general s.aff under General
Bishop will establish bureaus in all big
cities and through these all require
ments of the army will be filled.
This service will take care of all
branches and hereafter no direct appli-
cations for commissions will be eonsi-
dered through tie staff corps. AT the
same dme, pressure in Washington will
be relieved.
The plan is meeting with some opposi
tion in. the various branches. Many Of
fieers hold that each sectionof the army
should retain its own personnel section
as in the past, tholding that one central
lied bureau can not judge as thoroughly
of the needs of several bureaus and the
qualifications of men applying.

ed today in an opinion writtod by JUS

broke, throwing him through an open
hatchway.
