HOOVER DIRECTS WORK

NeutraIs and Foes.
Germany viii Be Required to Furnish
Ships to Garry Supplies
She Purchases.

Paris, Jan. 4.-Action taken to al
low importation Of foodstuf1s into
Germany is shown by the announce
ment that the United States will direct
the feeding for the Allies Of neutrals,
restored regions and enemy countries
through the appointment of Herbert
G. Hoover as director general Of that
project.
Mr.. Hoover issued statement de.
claring the Allies will put 1t up to
Germany to furnish ships to carry the
food. in return for permission to pur-
chase food for herself. She also will
be required to provide passenger ships
for repatriating American soldiers, he
said.
Mr.. Hoover estimated that Europe
would require at least $1,500,0O0 900
worth of food before July.
Working out plans for food distribu.
ton on large scale necessitates unity
of direction for operations on both
land and sea, 1t was explained. As
a result, the Allies representatives ad.
vised President Wilson that they de.
sired the United States to take the
leadership in organization and admin
istration Of this work.

Admiral Taylor Declares Figures
on Warships Have Gone Up
About so Per Cent.
PRICES TO STAY HIGH
Chief Of Bureau Of Construction and
Repair Tells House Naval Com
mittee He Does Not Antiel.
pats Any Reduction.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief of the bureau of con-
struction and repair, told the house
naval committee. in discussing tho
1920 naval appropriation bill. war con-
ditions have caused an enormous In
crease in the cost Of building war
ships.
He estimated that tho bulls and ma
chinery of the 10 battleships and six
battle cruisers authorized in 1916
would cost nearly $150,000,000 more
than estimated-an increase Of almost
SO per cent.
Admiral Taylor said he did not
think It was likely that the end Of
hostilities would result In any speedy
reduction in costs. After the civil
war. he said, there was no appreciable
lowering Of costs Of labor and mate
rails within three years.
Estimates Exceeded 43 Per Cent.
The battleship Mississippi, new
ship delivered last year. was built on
contract for $7,1l5.000," the admiral
said, ''but the company which built 1t
lost a large sum of money. and whom
bids on the battleships California and
Tennessee were asked for. no contrac-
tor submitted bid under the estimat-
cd cost of $7.sO0.000. The government
then decided to build them in its own
navy yards and the cost will amount
to probably $11,250.0OO each, an in.
crease of AZ per cent over the estimat-
ed cost. -
'The same increase will apply prob
ably to capital ships authorized in the
1916 three-year program. For the 10
battleships and six battle cruisers. pro.
vided for in this program, imagine
the increase will amount to nearly
$150.000,000. This applies to the hulls
and machinery alone. l would not
venture to say how much the increase
will be for the armor and armament
Trade Ship Cost Rises.
Admiral Taylor said the cost of con-
structing merchandising had increased
from $75 to 5000 ton, while the cost
of battleships has increased less than
so per cent. This has been accom-
plished, he said. by exercising the
greatest economy possible in the gov
eminent navy yards and by close su-
pervision in private yards. which are
building battleships on the "cost-plus''
basis.
THE original estimates for the bat
tleships Colorado. Maryland. Washing
ton and West Virginia, on which con-
struction has been started" Admiral
Taylor said. was $l1,500.0OO. 1t IL
doubtful If they can be completed for
less than $15,55O.00O."

dent Wilson, who complimented tho

achievements Of his army

The President expressed regret that
he would be unable to visit the Italian
battle front owing to lack of time and
the necessity Of returning to Paris as
soon as possible for the work of the
peace conference.

presidential party at the railway sta
ton was the duchess of Aosta. Both

Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret vii.

Is influenza contagious? Until now
practically every physician has an
swered the question in the affirmative
and, of course, was sure about it. This
theory, however, has been entirely upset
by test, conducted by the government
at Goat Island near San Francisco.
Fifty men were exposed to influenza in
every possible way; these men slept with
the patients and waited on them and yet
not one of them contracted the disease.
The physicians in charge Of the test were
somewhat surprised and now admit that
