Merchant Ships and Destroyers Glide Into Pacific. Washington, June on the to 16 vesse Pacific Coast on July 4 is planned in response to the appeal of Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board, to the country’s ship- builders to celebrate Independence Day with a heavy output of tonnage with which to thwart the submarine. This fact was disclosed in corres- pondence made public by Secretary w Wilson which is designed to refute charges that shipworkers in the West, and particularly riveters and wooden ship caulkers, are not putting forth their best efforts to specd up the ship- building program. It is understood that the vessels will include merchant craft for the Shipping Board and de- stroyers for the Navy. James L. Hughes, mhe secretary that he and Dr. Buzallo, president of the Universit: Washington, investigated condi- tions on the coast and had found that both riveters and caulkers were operating to the fullest extent in pro- ducing maximum results. District Representative Boyce, of the depart- ment, also telegraphed from San Francisco that thorough investigation *demonstrates absurdity of any repre- $intation regarding curtailments of of- fort on part of shipworkers.

PEACE OFFENSIVE URGED Now Is the Time to Make Terms, regular church- be held at T:45 Cross in St. in Opinion of German Press, Including Pan-German Organ. Amsterdam, June 5.—'Is a new German peace offensive coming?” the question now being ed in poli- tical circles. What has often been ad- vocated in German socialistic and radi- cal organs, namely, Germany should clearly and unequivocally state the terms upon which she would be will- ing to make peace, is now urged even by the Pan-German Kreuz-Zeitung, which judges the present moment as a most opportune one. This Berlin newspaper says with emphasis it is not a peace offer but peace offensive that is wanted, and it believes the recent German military sucgesses cannot fail to add welght to any concrete proposal Germany may make now, only, the newspaper adds, it should- be made publicly. There need be no apprehension, the newspaper asserts, that a peace offen- sive will weaken Germany's political position, and it argues that those who would leave-the entirc issue to the sword take too narrow a view of this war and show no understanding of its political consequences. The Kreuz-Zeitung goes on pointing out that the absence of a definite gov- ernment peace program is destroying internal unity, while the lack of po | tical activity in the interval between battles tends to hamper the conduct of the war and leads to all sorts of rumors about disagreements betweon the government and the army com- manders. The government is called upon hy. the Kreuz-Zeitung to appoint imme- diately a commissi ing of a leading economist, 2 ial expert, representatives of the army and navy and an international jurist, under the presidency of an able diplomatist {o work out a complete peace program, but it urges that time presses and that it must be done quickly. A definite program after consultation with party leaders, the newspaper asserts, un- doubtedly would insure a majority in the Reichstag, as was obtained for the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, will | 9 This photograph shows a big Amer- ican anti-aircraft gun mounted on a (| AMERICAN ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN OF LONG RANGE MOUNTED ON TRUCK motortruck. miles.

Four officers and 20 men appear to have lost their lives in the sinking of the American army transport Presi- dent Lincoln, which was torpedoed by | a German submarine the morning of May 31, while returning under convoy from Furope. While the Navy depart- | ment received word that this ap- | peared to be the extent of the casual- | ties, it had not, up to late hour last| night, received from Vice Admiral Sims the names of those lost. It was said that the extent of the department’s knowledge on the sub. jeot, aside from the announcement of May 31, was that contained in the additional message, on which the fol- lowing official announcement was au- thorized: A dispatch to the navy department today states that four officers and | twenty men are believed to be missing in the sinking of the President Lin- | coln. As soon as a list of the mis- oing is received and checked it will be made public. “It was not expected that the cas- ualty list would be large because the department had been.advised that the transport was slow in sinking and it was belicved that the convoys under the circumstances must have Tescued most of the passengers and crew not killed by the explosion of the torpedo.” IRISH FISHERMEN SUNK.

Notes exchanged between the two countries on March 25 were made public today by the foreign offize. The f om China to Japan, s “The means and condition of the co-operation of the army and navy of China and Japan are compatible with a common military defense against an cnemy, for the realization of which plans may be decided upon by 'mutual agreement of both coun- tries. They will be arranged by the military and naval authorities of both who, from time to time, will consult with each other freely and rarefully upon all questions of mutual interest and wpon approval of the governments, they will be carried into actlon according to the demands of the circumstance: On the same date, Viscount Motono, then Japanese foreign minister, Te- plied: “I propose on behalf of my government that the period in which tho notes will remain in force be determined by competent military naval authorities of the two powers. At the same time the imperial gov- ernment is happy to declare that Japanese troops within Chinese ter- ritory for purpose of defensive movements will be withdrawn com- war. The third note was merely the formal acknowledgment by the Chinese government of Viscount Mo- tono’s reply WOMEN DEPY KAISER Bombing of Hospitals Will Not Hinder Campaign for Red Cross Nurses, Miss Delano Says. Washington, June 3.—The deliber- ate bombing of hospitals by German fliers will not deter American nurses from seeking service in France, said Miss Jane A. Delano, cirector of the department of nursing of the Red Cross, in a statement today. “The present bombing of Red Cross hospitals just as our drive to obtain. military nurses begins may be s coincidence,” said Miss Delano. “If. however, the Germans believe that such methods will have any effect in deterring American nursss from vol- teering for hospital work, they are badly mistaken. “Tactics of frightfulness will mere- 1y send more and more of them to back up our men. If it is the Ger- mar intention to frighten our women they will find that American women do not know how to retreat any more than do our boys in Plcardy. The en- rollment of nurses will be American vomanhood’s answer.” MUST RUSH AIRPLANES.

MEETING POSTPONED. Owing to the stress of other mat- ters the nominating committee of the Y. M. C. A. work will be unable to come to this city until Wednesday June 12. At this thime it is expected will be at least ten ap- pleants for positions. The French government has piled a huge responsibility on Justin Godart, former assistant secretary of war and president of the French chamber of deputies. He has been sent to Amer- ica, partly to convey the thanks of France for the aid rendered by the United States to IFrance through the Sross, the Y. M. C. A. and other | 2 His main work be to explain in the work done by the ary he department, which he in « tation and comfort for the armies France aid the United States in the French r .public.

But there is another feature that is not overlooked here. and that is the shortening life of the airplanes, now put at not more than one month. This has compelled a revision of all the early estimates regarding the number of machines necessary to give the overwhelming superiority upon to blind the Germans d win the war. Reports reaching here lately have been to the effect that Great Britain producing airplanes at the rate of 3,000 a month, while France had attained a production of 2,000. “ihis would mean an annual produc- tion for these two countries of 60,000, or nearly three times as many planes as was called for in America’s orig- inal aviation programme—22,000 ma- clines. Instead of the 22,000 ma- ines promised the first year only 5,076 have thus far been completed. Tt is regarded as doubtful that this can cxceed the present rate oi production in Great Britain before rext year. There are some who be- lieve that we will be doing well even ther if we are able to maintain con- stantly at the front 2,500 machines. Figuring on the life of a plane being only one month, this would require a production here of 30,000 machines a year. However, the addition of 2,500 machines to the 5,000, which, accord- ing to reports here are now heing maintained at the front by Great Brit- ain and Jrance would be a factor of tremendous importance in the mili- situation, according to army offi- Then, too. this rate of produc- is bound to be increased even- A year ago 50,000 airplanes was lked about by some as sufficient to “blind the enemy.” TIn view of the short life of the airplane it is now rcalized that this number is not as b1z it looks, meaning only about 4,000 machines in the air cons antly. as REPORT FAVORS STOCKYARD!
