BIGGER SHIPS
Will Be BUILT
~ Asaoelated Pregs.l

Washington, April IA general in
crease in the size Of merchant ships
to be built hereafter for the govern
ment was ordered today by the ship
ping board The purpose is to make
substantial gains in tonnage without
proportionate advance in expense or
increase in construction facilities.
Under the new program steel ves-
sells will be Of $500 tons or larger.
wooden ships will be of 5000 tons,
and concrete ships, il experiments
justify. will be of 1900 tons.
A very favorable report on the new
concrete ship, Faith, recently launch-
ed in Pacific waters, led to the inclu-
sion Of that type of construction
among vessels to be increased in size.
The board has authorized the build
ing of three 500 ton concrete ships
at San Francisco, in addition TO one
Of that size now under construction
there as an experiment.
Increases in the size Of steel yes-
sells are not expected to add to the
shortage of steel plates which at
present is handicapping the output in
some yards, inasmuch as the larger
ships win not be laid down for several
months.

1T is obvious that in the peace
with Rumania, we will take precau~
tons to have our interests in the
question OF grain, foodstuffs and
petroleum fully respected. We shall
further take precautions that the
Catholic church and our schools re-
ceive the state of protection they
need. and we shall solve the Jewish
question. The Jew shall henceforth
be a citizen with equal rights in
Rumania.
The Irridentist propaganda, which
has produced so much evil in Hun

will be taken to obtain
decentralization for the injustice in-

adjoining table. says that the two
visiting officers who figured in the
incident, wearing the army uniforms
of their rank. entered the restaurant
at time when Ii was crowded with
Finnish officers, mainly from a unit
which had served in Germany. Tha
visitors had scarcely had time to
order their meal before a Finnish
officer approached the table and told
them their presence was not desired
He withdrew. however. when he was
shown a pass from General Manner

warehouse operators and members of
the special legislative committee

marketing problems. are holding a
conference at the capital today to
devise plans by which the farmers OF

might ask the United States gov

Military Observers Puzzled
BIZ Delay In Launching The
Counter Attack In Picdrdy

1t is possible. II was suggested.
that the plan Of campaign mapped
out by General Foeh is Of far greater
scope than would be involved in an
effort to hurl the enemy back to his
old lines. The German defenses there.
which successfully stemmed the
British, assault i'm 1915 are still intact
and even IL the allies were successful
in rushing the German lines back
they would face those defenses when
their own organization was badly
demoTalized by their advance and
their men showing the wear and tear
Of a prolonged offensive.
For this reason some officers were
inclined to look elsewhere, for the ag-
gressive campaign to which they are
pinning their faith.

Washington, April with the
battle of Picardy brought to a stand
still for the time being, at least, and
the initial momentum OF the German
drive overcome, military observers
here were plainly puzzled by the fact

passing. If II has not already pass

Officers here admit frankly, how
