HOG ISLAND YARD
HAS AMPLE STEEL
_
Material Now Arriving At Big
Government Plant to Meet
Need of Worker*.
—
PHILADELPHIA.—Steel is now
arriving at the big government ship
building plant at Hog Island in
adequate quantities, according to
H. W. Blood, an engineer for the
American International Corporation.
“The fabricators of steel parts for
ships,’ Mr. Blood said, “are making
good, and the steel committee, re
cently appointed to see that the
shipyards are stocked with steel
parts, has done much toward the
solution of the problem.”
The Hog Island yard, the largest
in the world had its first launching
on August 4. The ship was the
Red Jacket. It is an 8000 ton
freighter. Two more 8000-ton
freight carriers are nearly half com
pleted. The second launching is
expected to take place soon. The
third vessel will follow shortly after
the second, and then it will be a
week or ten days before there are
further launchings. After that Hog
Island expects to turn out completed
hulls at the rate of two a week.

GOVERNMENT
AMERICANS ARE
NOW SCAIIERED
OVER BIG AREA
WASHINGTON.—The war map,
with its trench lines straggling
athwart international boundaries,
shows American fighting men hold
ing their footing on strangely alien
soils. As it now stands army units
j the United States are at tneir
grim work in six countries, France,
, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy and
i Belgium.
; The swelling volume of their
j movement overseas has been so nec
jessary a response to the emergency
, °f the nation’s responsibility, r.o
, thoroughly implied by the original
j war declaration, and so entirely
natural a picture to a people pre
j pared by three years’ observation
'of world war. that it may take a
historian’s perspective to visualize
completely the departure from tra
ditions and the smashing of pre
cedents that the movement involved.
Checking the six American artil
lery has been reported on the French
line opposite Mulhausen, several
miles inside the border of the Ger
man empire. In Austria, the olive
drab lyiiform supports Italian see- j
tors which swing round the toe
of Lake Garda, and American fliers
have manoeuvered over the Vene
tian lowlands, where the Austrian
drive was forced back this spring.
In Belgium, they have gone over thr
top with Australians and in France
their forces in action now can bc
counted by army corps. In Russia
at Vladivostock and now on the
frozen reaches of the Murman coast
they are putting disciplined force
behind the manifold manifestations
of national purpose. Likewise, in
England, Scotland, and Ireland,
they fill up the school camps and
prepare themselves for action.
These men, drafted nearly all.
are the agents in the far-Fung i r
neyings of a nation whose mditary
history has shown more than one
instance in which volunteers, ordered
to cross a boundary, have sat down,
private and officer alike, to debate
the constitutionality of a warlike
expedition to foreign soil, and stil!
more instances where military or
ganizations have successfully op
posed national attempts to send
them beyond their own state lines.
Yet today, under the urge of the '
war resolution, which directed the']
administration “to exert all of its i
power and employ all of its re-I
sources to carry on war against the
Imperial German government and to |
bring the conflict to a successful
conclusion, drafted men and vol
unteers have not raised a single pro
test of serious import.
It was not until January of the j
present year that the supreme court !
k i formerly construed the Constitution
(to allow any sort of war operation
j the nation desired to carry on. The !
| Yet long before the decision the
first drafted American had fallen
in battle overseas and legions more
I quarter, almost, of the European
j continent.
| Thus the historian has been given
a large and interesting mile-post to
J build in the future, but for the
average American, the news of the
; day shows that this interest is purely
’abstract. It having been definitely
decided, upon due and formal con
I sideration, that a complete defeat
of Germany was necessary to dem
ocracy in the world, the nation has
not even remembered precedents of
history or traditions of the past.
Apparently, the men least in
clined to consider that have been I
the soldiers who have gone gravely
but with good cheer into the valley
of the shadow overseas, and there
are making good the purpose.

ITALIAN SOLDIERS
ON WAVTO FRONT
HONOLULU, T. IL—Three hun
dred and fifty Italian soldiers who
were conscripted in to the Austrian
army and forced to fight against
the Russians in the early years of
the war have arrived here enroute
to Italy to do battle against the
common enemy.
Being residents of Trieste and the
Trentino, they were forced to fight
for Austria but surrendered to the
Russians at the earliest opportunity.
They were held prisoners of war
until the revolution, when they se
cured their liberty and made their
"ay to Siberia to Far East ports.
According to members of the
group, there are 80,000 deserters
from the Auftrian army who are
endeavoring to make their way to
Pacific coast ports and get passage
to Italy.
Baron Aliotto, Italian minister to
China, is in charge of the party
and it is expected that the baron
will endeavor while in Rome to ar
range for their passage to Italy.
BARS ARE NOT BARRED
ON HOUOLULU VESSELS
HONOLULU.—Bars on all pass
enger vessels plying between Hono
lulu and San Francisco will con
tinue to operate, despite an appeal
by the Anti-Saloon league of Hono
lulu to the United States Shipping
Board.
The league appealed for closing
of the bars on the ground that as
this island is “dry’ under presiden
tial proclamation, it was not consist
ent that liquor should be placed
within reach of army officers and
civilians enroute to the mainland
when they could not obtain it on
land.
The Shipping Board refused to in
terfere, saying that the custom under
private ownership would be per
mitted to continue.
Waste of any kind of food is a
crime which may lose the fight for
us and the penalty will be worse
than any punishment meted out bv
law for ordinary crimes against
society. The trail of the Prussian
*rmy in Belgium and invaded France j
shows the nature of the punishment I
ve may expect if we fail, through
slind carelessness and waste of food
