"a. PAY FOR SHIPS

EARLY in the war the United States
realized that II the German U-Boats
continued their campaign of frightful-
ness there would soon be no ships to
send mens or supplies to France.
When we entered the war there
were only 81 shipyards in America.
"Ships and more ships soon became
the cry America attacked the prob
lem in characteristic American style.
So rapidly did the ships begin slip
ping down the way that Germany saw
her U.Boat campaign had been de.
feated. When the war ended we had
1913 shipyards that were building the
bridge Of ships" that Pershing asked
# Nothing did more to end the war in
1918 than our shipbuilding program.
That program cost money but it served
its purpose. The Victory Liberty Loan

his thankfulness. 3.3

London, April 17.-Premier Lloyd

of perils for all countries" He plead.

Premier Praises Wilson.
No one could have treated more
sympathetically the peculiar problems
and special susceptibilities of Europe
than President Wilson, he continued.
The time devoted to the League Of
Nations, he said, had not been wasted,
but saved, as the league provided ma
chinery capable of adjusting and cor
recting possible mistakes.
Intervention Called "Stupidity."
Military Intervention in Russia, he
declared, would be the greatest act
of stupidity The question of recog-
nizing Russia, he said, had never been
proposed or discussed. Bolshevism,
though apparently growing, was back
ing down, he asserted, before the re-
lentless force of economic facts. 5s

vik until they seek their way out of it

:: Greatest Problem in History"
No conference i in history, said the
premier, had been faced with problems
Of such variety, complexity, magnitude
and gravity. The congress Of Vienna,
which was the nearest approach to it,
took II months for it's work, but that
congress, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out, sank into iusignif1cance as com.
pared with what had been settled by
this conference. : =. u. ID
The conference had to shorten it's
labors, continued the premier, because,
while it was trying to build in many
lands the foundation of society was
tumbling into the dust. No body of
men worked harder or in better har.
mony than the peace conferees, he al.
serted, and he doubted whether any
body of men ever worked under great.

MONEY OR LIVES.

Better to Pay in Dollars Than In Lives
Of Our Youths.
Which would you prefer the United
States to spend-billions in money or
the lives of 100000 good young Ameri-
cans?
War and navy officials knew what
your answer would be and they acted
accordingly. They poured out money
by the billions to end the war as
soon as it was possible to do so.
The result was the signing of the
armistice months before experts be-
lieved Germany could have been beat
en- to her knees. 1t cost money to
pile up shells and artillery and gas
and ships and clothing but our deter
mined efforts showed Germany we
meant business. .. =.
Army experts say that had the war
gone into the terrible spring offensive
that the world dreaded, at least l0O, 900
more Americans would have been
slaughtered. Perhaps your boy or
your husband or your brother would
have been on that awful roll Of death.
Think of this when your country asks
you to support the Victory Liberty
Loan and subscribe to the limit on

The Navy Department announced
yesterday that the big dirigible
C-5 might attempt a flight from
Newfoundland to the Azores.
Everything depends, it was said,
on the success of the voyage of
the "blimp" from Montauk Point
to st. Johns. The C-5 is ready
to start from the Point the mo-
ment orders are received.
Meanwhile the two naval seaplanes,
NC-1 and NC-3, which flew from
Rockaway to Trepassey Bay, N.
F., have been thoroughly over
hauled in preparation for their
'hop" across the Atlantic. They
are ready to start as soon as
the weather reports are favorable.
The NC-4, which had to put into
Chatham, Mass, on the first leg
of the flight from Rockaway, is
still waiting for favorable weather
conditions to resume her journey.
The British planes at st. Johns are
not expected to start on their
journey to Ireland until the full
moon makes night flying easier.
