bate from the bunkering company 70 the 1 extent of the excess.
 It was charged that through political influence ships had been assigned to com
 panies in which officials of the shipping board were or had been associated. and that companies which did not have the standing or the financial responsl- bility to insure safe and proper manage ment and operation" got all tonnage ap-
 piled for by that means.
 While many of the government ships are making a profit, the report sid, others are operating at loss and 1t
 was asserted that there were many
 who believed final accounting of the operations of the ships would show "a serious loss on the gross tonnage 'per- ated"
 Reviewing shipbuilding contracts land settlements, the report charged that valuable and expensive shipping plants" erected on lands owned or leased by the contractor in several cases" were not properly safeguarded as to title.
 "The results of these oversights" said the report, was that the United States shipping board, Emergency Fleet corporation, found itself in pt si- tion of owning a plant located on Iri' vately owned sites; and faced the neces- sity of giving away or selling these plants for small percentage of their origi nal cost to the owner or lessees of the sites
 The report also charged that in some cases attorneys who represented the fles corporation in drawing the son tracts later engaged with the contrac- tors as counsel ito assist them Tn in- terpreting or in breaking or n at- tempting to break the contracts"
 It also was alleged that some com panies to which the corporation had over advanced" many millions of dol- lars were unable to repay these "over-advances." and that they were permitted all sorts of exorbitant claims to absorb" them.
 Numerous charges were on record, the report said. where doctors, veter- mary surgeons, barbers, dry goods clerks and other inept callings were placed as inspectors over work of con- struction of both plants and ships
 In a foreword to the report, Mr. Fisher said:
 While 1 desire to give full credit to the United States shipping board for :ts of having constructed and launched under abnormal and ad- verse conditions such a fleet of ships as it did feel that this task is fully equalled by the problem now confront ing the shipping board of creating and nourishing a merchant marine. From this viewpoint the report presented herewith is sketch of proposed in- duiry by this committee designed to deal first with the problems which now confront the shipping board and sec ondly with the problems presented in its past accomplishments"

French Writer Says Real

BY PAUL REBoUN.

PARIS, Nov. zs.-One of the relief
commissions interested in refugees
from the north of France sent q
trainload of children to visit the
devastated regions. to show them
how much damage the Germans did
to their country.
The children came back immense

third. Il hope the wicked Boches
will never come back to France"
remarked a little girl, who added,
I'VE must be strong. well armed so
that the Germans will never dare to
attack us again"
They're quite right, these chill
dren, to think and talk like they've
been told. But Is that the lesson
they should have been taught? Is
1t right that on both sides Of the
border children should grow up with
only thoughts of hatred for former
enemies? Why should French chill
dren be taught to repeat: The
Boches killed my father; and the
Germans: The French killed my
papa" until in 1895 or so these chill
dren, grown up. will. in their turn.

men who sold supplies at a time

badly far beyond the real value of
the goods. These factories have
had their capital increased tenfold.

Because the Germans listened TO

famine. Because We were afraid of
contradicting them here, you no
