LARGE SHIPBUILDING
PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
BY THE PRESIDENT
CONTINUED From Page One)

shipyard workers would be neces-
sary.
Presumably, under his plan to
lease or lend war materials to
Britain, American ships might be
turned over to the British and be
sent back or replaced when the
war ended. If such = step were
taken-congress still must author
ize the plan-the vessels might be
ships already in service, which
could be replaced by the new ones,
or they might be some of the 200.
To get the shipbuilding program
under way, Mr.. Roosevelt drew
from a defense fund granted him
by congress, $3.50, 000, 900 for the con-
struction of yards.
Mr.. Roosevelt offered no infor-
nation on when building actually
would get under way. He left that
to the Maritime Commission which
will direct the program. Likewise
he declined to discuss the possible
locations of construction sites.
The steel industry's production
capacity probably is sufficient to
take care of the 200 carriers, the
chief executive asserted, but some
expansion may be necessary to
meet oer-all requirements of the
defense program. He added that
he expected a report on that ques-
ton from the industry in two or
three days.
The decision to establish new
shipyards was reached. MI. Roose-
welt said, because existing plants
already have been. enlarged ire
mendously.
Although the ships will be as
sembled jobs, rather than tailor.
made" products, contribution ex-
perts of the Maritime Commission
said they would not be tempo
ray" vessels.
They said the craft would be Of
a simple type of construction
so that delivery could be expedited,
but that they would be capable OF
being operated for years. They re-
Gale dthat some vessels construct
ed during the World war we're still
in operation, and said it would be
possible to operate the projected
vessels equally long, if that should
prove desirable.
The principal difference between
the emergency ships and the ships
being built in the commissions
long-range program, they added,
would be in design and certain re-
finements. The ships in the long
range program said to be Of
the highest standards possible, and
as such not designed for particu.
larly speedy construction.
The start of the shipbuilding pro.
gram will find the American mer.
chant marine in far better condi-
ton than it was when the 1Vorle
war construction efforts began.
The nations ocean-going fleet on
Nov. l, 1910, included 1,173 ships
of 1000 tons or over, and with a
gross tonnage of 1928, 913. In June,
1914, the United States ocean-go
ing fleet consisted of only 345 ships
of 1,457,0 900 gross tonnage.
OF the current tonnage, Z ships
are in the laid-up or spot" fleets
Laid-up ships would require some
service, but "spot" fleet ships,

 Tn the twilight before the dawn, ! saw something very beautiful. 1t was . 'tree'l It Was tho first one had seen for three years. 1t was that superb 'EhA6', on the lawn ia front of the 'hospital'.
 When the whole slEy was ablage with gorgeous color, tinting the church. spires, and setting the wins dows Of ten thousand cottages on the hiii.tops, ell a'glitter,-Just then, ! heard Q robins song com. Ing from the direction of the elm that I had first seen in tho twilight before the dawn.
 Now the tree was magnificent in the flood of sunshine, with every branch and every leaf rejoiclng-- and at the very tip-top could sec the robin with his lovely red breast, and how he was braveiy stralning every nerve and every muscle iE his precious little body ito make us children and groWn~ upe 60 much happier and better.
 With this sudden return of my sight after three years Of blind. neas-Y wAs taken by surprise ct the dazzling splendor Of everything .--oSa the earth and Sn the sky. And the word, COLOR seemed the most wonderful and beautiful word in the dictionary.
 I suppose that I had been SO in the habit of taking things for granted. that I hadn't half ap- preciated them. So the ever changing shades Of the blue in the sky, and the green in the grass and foliage, and the exqul- site coloring of the 'flowers'-give me keener delight than I had ever known before.
 I knew ct the time that one could have only once sucn 6 two and 6 half hours As l was then exs perlencing, and I also knew that one Of our most common human faculties is that of adapting our. selves to changing conditions; but tho pTccess of Tesadjustmefit was making my head spin with Its speed, 60 that I frequently grab. bed my friendly post and held tight with both hands.
 At 2 o'clock 6 very charming nurse came out on the balcony AA kAil mo that ahA had lAfk my breakfast-tray on the table beside my bed.
 ft was just the kind Of c break fast for a Jubiiant 'oid-bachelor' with Q rav0nous appetite, ,--and I did to the tray what the celebrat- cd Jack SprAt' and his estlinable wife did to the historic plate and platter.

On that particular August morns ing THE SUN rose ct exactly s o'clock.
 From 4:S0 tiii 2 o'ciock-Y was alone on the balcony. No one else came out there till later.
 Located as the hospital is, on c commanding hlll.top In this pic. turesque New England city, there is ideal istage-sottlng' of 'slSy' and 'landscape' for the 'billionth' per. formance of the incomparable DRAMA OF THE DAWN,
 So for two hours and Q half, the time that one would sit in the the. ater witnessing c Shakespeare play say The Tempest g--T witnessed the DRAMA that hasn't rnlsscd Q performance for billions of centur. ies-and like as not is the Dig.

 I recall with . chuckie the sec- ond visit Of '"The Doctor' after my operation. Removing the band- ages, he bathed and dressed the eyes, and asked me if I could see him As plainly as dld the day before. When replied that ! thought I could, he said that any. how he would give me another test. 'Now here," said he, "is . young lady that I want you to look ct and describe to me-"
 Considering that I had not seen maid or matron of "any descrip. ton" for more than three years, you may imagine the told. .baches lor's" pleasant embarrassment when he locked up into the snll. ing, blushinR face - very close to him - of Q radiant girl Of nine- teen or twenty.
 And as I had been requested to describe" her, I caught my breath and began stanamering my admiration for the very becom. ing mass of wavy dark-brown hair crowning her beautiful forehead; of the lovely eyes, and the tantaliEing dimples in her cheeks, and the charm and character shown in her adorable mouth Rnd chin.
 But before I had really got started, l was interrupted by '"The Doctor, in c rather amused tone of voice,
