startled1it by the, astonishing feats OF

American troops and organizers have
displayed - ,s,e.g.. -.
The Viscount was speaking at a

The speaker expressed the opinion

which. he added, is ore Of the desid-

Few Ships Delivered
Contractors Have Completed
Four Ships Instead of Hun
dred and Fifty.

Washington, Jan. Only fou1
ships have been delivered by the three
government fabricated ship building
plants, Charles Piez, director genera
Of the Emergency Fleet Corporation
said today in testifying before the
senate commerce committee. Diff.
culties in constructing the yards ane
in obtaining material were largely re
sponsible for the delays, the w1tnes:
said.
Three of the ships have come from
the Hog Island yard. Mr.. Piez testi.
fed, and the fourth from the Subma.
rine Boat Corporation plant at Port
Newark, N. j., which should have de-
livered 124 vessels by last Decembel
The Merchant Shipbuilding Cor.
poration at Bristol, Pa, has not YET
delivered ship, he said, although un-
der it's contract "a should have beer
completed by December Z. The HOG
Island yard delivered its third ship
today and has launched IL others, the
committee was told.
Before resuming it's inquiry today
the committee adopted a resolution
by Senator Nelson Of Minnesota, ex-
tending its investigation to include a
survey Of the progress of all govern
ment ship building.
Under the resolution the shipping
board and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration would beSrequired to furnish
a staten ent showing the number OF
sIlipyards where ships for the gov
ernment are being or are to be built
or contracted for, together with the
capacity of the yards and the amounts
contributed by the government for
their construction, if any, and the
number Of ships each has completed
or launched. The committee also ask
ed for the expenditures made. from all
monies appropriated by congress for
ships and whether any Of the vessels
completed for the feet corporation
have been used in carrying men or
munitions to or from Europe.
Mr.. Piez told the committee that
because Of a change in the manage
ment Of the American International
Shlpbuilding Corporation contractors
on the Hog Island project, the feet
corporation had decided that it would
be unwise for the government to take
over management. of the yard now.
Under. the new arrangement Matt
Brush, formerly a vice president of
the American International Corpora
ton, heads the American Internal
ional Ship building CORPORATION.
Mr.. Piez said he believed the gov
ernmert eventually should exercise its
option on the Hog Island site and
take over management OF the plant.

What Is a Pledge?

< Sumter: county went over the top
with a big. hurrah in the Red Cross
drive few months ago, the amount
allotted the county being largely over
subscribed. All Of these pledges were
made with the distinct understanding
that payments would be paid in full
on or before December 1st.
A majority Of the subscribers have
redeemed their pledges. but there is
a long list of delinquents on file with
Treasurer. r. L. Edmunds. at the
Sumter Trust Company. These de-
linquents apparently regard their
pledges Of little mportance-sorne-
thing to be attended to at their re-
mote convenience or not at all if they
find it inconvenient to part with the
few dollars they promised to lay On
the altar Of patriotism. When these
subscriptions were made they We're
publicly recorded and the subscribers
were advertised as liberal and gener-
Gus patriots who were gladly doing
what they could to make the lot CT
those who were fighting IN their de-
fense more toierable. They were hello
F., up before the world as examples OF
cheerful givers, but they have not de-
livered the goods and are now enjoy
ing a, reputation that is not justified
by performance.
The Sumter Red Cross chapter had
| decided to keep the record straight
and, at the annual meeting, held De
! cemher 10th, resolution was adopted
/ as follows:
'That notices he sent delinqcantS
concerning their War Fund Pledges
and that the names Of those who have
! not paid these pledges by January l.
F.! be published.
When this list Of delinquents j:
published there will be great furo,
and hard feelings, especially by thosf
who feel that their position in thf
community and financial responsible
itY are so high above question they
are entitled to exceptional consideTa
ton and unlimited time IN which Il
pay the subscriptions. which they
stand pledged to pay on or before De
cember 1st Perhaps. if they recol
;ected that if all Red C1oss subscrib
ers were as negligent Of their obliga

in the hospitals in France would suf
fey and die from neg,ect. they would
pay up promptly.

Poland Suffers

Bolshevism Among the Rich as

warsaw, Tuesday, Dec. 81 (BS the

czewski, the Polish premier, to the
Associated Press. The premier is a
member Of the Austrian parliament
and one. Of the most prominent figures
in the present government. He is the
son of a coal miner, but a highly ed
ucated student Of government. an
ideal Socialist, whose honesty is u11-
questioned even by the opposition.

German Socialists who prosecuted the
Polish Socialists in Silesia even be-

there is great danger in lack OF en-

German army is selling the city OF
N1insk for 10000 rubles.
.oThe course for Poland as we see 1t
is: First, the division of land, to be
paid for at pre-war values; second, the
taking over of the mines by the gov
ernment for an equitable consldera-
ton; third, state ownership of pubic
utilities, such as electric plants. wa
terworks, railroads, slaughter houses.
locomotive works and bakeries.
..The program does not provide Tor
state control of all industries. as has
been said, for state work is less eff

the government more to operate, Were

from the fact tn we have been under
