School officials, however, expect but
few of the out-of town teachers to
come to Washington to take the ex-

most instances. these teachers are
making larger salaries than the Wash

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October IA world
wide slump in shipbuilding, with the
United States showing by far the
greatest loss. was disclosed today in
fsures compiled by Lloyds Register.
With reference to this country the
Register shows that:
/. Counting only ships on which
work actually is in progress, the
United States is led by England
France and Holland, with Japan and
the British dominions right on the
heels of this country
2. The United States is now build
ing only per cent OF the world :
homage; England Is building 60 per
cent, and the other maritime nations
"a per cent combined
8. This country now has only l50-
Coo tons of ships in the Yards: has
rot contracted for any new ones since
last July /, and has largely suspended
WORK on those already on the Ways.
Decline Tremendous.
4. Americas decline since the post
armistice peak of vessel construction
mas been 4,O36.000 tons-a goodly per
centaSe of the decline for all the
world, which aggregates only 5,3i5 900
tons
5. Her shipyards are building only
one-third as much tonnage as they
were year ago: Great Britain's are
building one-half.
6. America is building today only
1000 tons more of freight bottoms
than she was at the outbreak of the
world war. in July, 1914; all other
nations. taking into account the
wholesale suspension of building
during the last three months, aggre-
gate $4,000 tons above the pre-war
construction totals: Great Britain is
building 100000 tons. compared
with 1.750,000 she had under way in
July, 1914.
Scarcity of New Orders.
Lloyd's points to these figures as
"a striking indication of how the
volume of shipbuilding is falling off
through the scarcity of new orders

continuing:
During the past quarter the ship
yards of all countries combined start
ed on New York aggregating only
1882 gross TONS while in the same
period $4,000 tons of shipping were
launched. the launchings being more
than two and one-half times the VOL
ume of New York"
In the United States. IL is shown.
there have been virtually no new
launchings in the three months or no
new orders. Great Britain's launch
lngs have been nearly four times her
new contracts.
The Register also notes a sharp de-
crease in the construction of tankerS
throughout the world the decline in
the past quarter having been lio 00g

Washington. Feb. 15AThe soldiers
bonus question was tonight still very
much in the air.
Congress was without any official
word from President Harding as to his
views on the subject and, meantime, the
committee which have been handling the
problem continued to mark time.
Among senators and representatives,
generally, there was considerable pri-
vate discussion and conjecture with re-
vival on the public side Of talk about a
slashing of annual appropriation bills
as a means of providing the necessary
finances for the bonus.
Representative Mondell Wyonfng,
and some other leaders in the house
were understood to be giving this pro-
| posai close study. Mr.. Mondell called
at the White. House early in the day
but did not see the president. He said
| afterwards that the supply measure:
would be examined, to determine wheth-
er much of the sum needed for the bo-
nus could not be obtained from that di
| rection.
This proposition met with oonsidera
bic response from members Of tn,
house, where apparently there is
growing dssire to put the bonus bill
through. There were suggestions tina
as result of the agreement for a na
! val holiday as much as s2oo,ooo,0o

could be cut from the naval bill and
that another large sum could be saved
by cutting down the size Of the army.
Mr.. Mondell and other leaders were not
prepared, however. TO make estimates
until a more careful study Of the subs
ject had been made.
With the executive known TO look
with disfavor upon either the suggest
ed eight point tax program. or a bond
issue. sales tax proponents pushed their
campaign with renewed vigor and vera
understood to have been well satisfied
with the progress made. There wera
said to be hopeful that the president
would suggest this kind Of tax in his
expected communication 10 Chairman

Some senators also thought that Nr.

but this belief did not appear 10 be gen
eral. Sentiment in both the house and

be 50 strong that there was little prob
ability that the bonus bill with pro-
vision for this tax could be passed.
