Plans Made for Settling Claims
Resulting From Wooden
Vessel Building.
ABANOONS INDUSTRY
Chairman Hurley Agrees to Make
Concessions for investments in
Yards as Well as All Con-
tracts Cancelled.

Washington, March 27.-At a con-
ference between the shipping board
and representatives of "a yards in IL
states on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
plans for winding up the governments
war venture in wooden ships were
made.
Reasonable concessions" in pay
ment of claims made for investments
in yards as well as for cancelled con-
tracts were promised by Chairman
Hurley and prompt settlement was
assured. General Manager Piez of the
Emergency Fleet corporation will be
given authority tomorrow to close the
government accounts with the build
ers as soon as the claims are properly
certified and no more contracts for
wooden ships will be let.
Claims Aggregate $3,ooo,ooo.
With the governments retirement
from the wooden ship industry, one of
the developments of the national emer-
gency virtually will be abandoned, ac-
cording to the builders.
Claims for losses due to the creation
as a war measure of shipyards which
now will have to be scrapped as worth
less, are expected to aggregate not
more than $3,O0O,O00. 1t has not been
possible to estimate the amount neces-
sary to settle contract claims, because
inventories of expenditures for mate
rial and labor have not been made.
A total of more than 100000, 900 in
contracts has been cancelled but in
many instances work had not begun,
| so the amount to be paid by the gov
ernment will be correspodingly less.
Builders Express Satisfaction.
Satisfaction with the action of Chair
man Hurley and his associates was ex-
pressed by representatives of the
yards who later at a separate meeting
discussed plans for presenting their
| claims Each yard will act independ-
emily
The ship builders were frank in stat
ing that the decision of the Shipping
| board to confine its future construction
/ to steel vessels, meant that at least 9S
| per cent of the facilities for building
wooden ships would be useless in the
| future. A total of 1873 ways was rep.
resented at the meeting, nearly all OF
which will be abandoned or torn away
to permit the use of the land for manu-.
featuring and other purposes. Vessels
now on the ways will not be completed
orders having been given to finish only
the hulls, which probably will be used
as barges

PUZZLING CIPHER
 IS VERY SIMPLE

A short time before the battle of Shiloh, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston and Gen. G. T. Beauregard adopted a cipher that was simple but probably effective for ordinary purposes. In this the significance of the letters of the alphabet changed from day to day. Johnston, in a letter from Decatur, Ala. March Il, 1862, gave it to Beau regard thus:
 The day of the month on which it is written will indicate the letter of the alphabet corresponding with A. Yes terday, 10th, IA The 27th of the month A will correspond to C."
 Suppose one desired to write the American slogan of the present war gro Make the World Safe for Democ- racy," in this cipher written on Wash ington's Birthday, V (the twenty second letter) would represent A, W would represent B, and so on, and the slogan would look like this
 0 J H V r z o c z R J M G ' N Y X z A J NJ Y ZH J X M Y X T.
 On the other hand, if the slogan were written on July 1, an entirely different group of letters would be the result, viz:

Great Picture at Plaza

Probably the most talked-of picture of the day is J. Stuart Blackton's mas ter production, "Life's Greatest Prob lem,' in which Mitchell Lewis, Amer ica's famous character actor, has the star role.
 This remarkable feature will be the attraction extraordinary at the Plaza last time today.
 'Iife's Greatest Problem is timely study of human characterization and the momentous labor question of to- day, basing it's solution on the famous "work or fight order issued by Gen. Crowder.
 However, that does not mean it is a war drama or a preaclnnent-on the contrary, it has practical'' nothing to do with the war, and in no sense does it moralize. There is so much pleasing comedy injected throughout the swift moving seven parts. that it would un- doubtedly be classified as comedy drama, except for the fact that love is the dominant theme, and around a

WANT A WHEEL? yOU
 HAD DETER HURRY

A bicycle famine is coming, accord ing to inside information from bicycle manufacturers.
 Practically all of the big manufac- turers of bicycles cb-operated with Uncle Sam devoting their plants to the production of munitions-airship parts, hand grenades, "75" shells and military bicycles of a special pattern that very materially cut down the normal output or regular models.
 The lost production on account of war work, and inability to get steel, has already caused a serious shortage.
 More time will be lost while the fac tories are changing their equipment back to a bicycle basis.
 There is also a tremendous export demand for bicycles.
 In the meantime, the existing short age of bicycles is daily becoming more acute and a veritable bicycle famine seems inevitable.
 Men in the industry who know the actual capacity of the plants, estimate that it will take at least a year for the output of bicycles to catch up with the demand.
 A good many thousand boys and a sizeable army of men, who have been looking forward to owning new bicycles this season may have to walk.

NUMISMATIC SOCIETY
 RECEIVES RARE COIN
(NeW York Worldl

The Museum of the Numismatic so- ciety has received a gift of probably it's rarest coin. This is the famous confederate half dollar, of which but. four were made, and today only two are known to exist.
 In the early days of the Civil war, the confederates, when they took New Orleans, seized all government prop erty, which included the United States mint. What coins there were on hand, of course, were used. The silver bull lion was also minted into United States coins with the dies then there. The question then came up of a distinctive coinage for the confederacy. A die was made for the reverse of the 50-cent piece, showing a confederate shield and
