Is provided for extensions and im provements to Philadelphia's port and harbor In measures approved or rec ommended In Washington today. Coupled with announcement by K. V. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board, that two or more drydocks, to cost about $1,G00,000 each, are to be built at this port, a bill was Introduced In tho House by Congressman William S. Vare, directing the shipping board to acquire land near tho Philadelphia Navy Yard on which to cahstrurt' a drydock! The Vai bill 'appropriates J3,000',Q,00. for purchase of land and the building btvu-ilrydock.- Of this halMrto bo shared by tho city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania. The Govern ment provides the rest. Appropriations of $1,230,000 for Del aware River improvement work and $300,000 for Schuylkill Improvement were apptoved by the Scnute Com merce Committee. , Congressman Vare's bill directs the shipping board to acquire suRlclent land adjacent to the Navy Yard, on what Is known as the Stephen Glrard Kstate tract, on which to construct a drydock for the use of the Government and privately owned merchant ships. Vare Kxplalm III 1IIII Following Introduction of the bill Con gressman Vare said: "The port of Philadelphia has become the center of tho greatest shipbuilding activity in the United States today. Commercially tho nation Is looking to Philadelphia as a port which can re lieve the congestion found In tho harbor of New York. ''Notwithstanding this, the facilities for drydock accommodation for mer chant vessels are far from adequate. Kven before the present expansion of tho shipbuilding Industry . and commerce, Philadelphia was unable to care for tho docking of Its peace-time commerce. "The Government Is constructing two cf the largest shipbuilding plants In tho world on the Delaware and I feel that some action should be taken at once for accommodating the output of these yards. I feel that the city of Philadel phia and the State of Pennsylvania would Join In this movement which would have the effect of bringing a greater part of the nation's commerce to Philadelphia. "I, have conferred with my colleagues from Phftadelphla and they agree with the purpose of the bill and are in hearty accord with the movement to make the port of Philadelphia ono of the greatest centers in tho development of our mer chant marine." Chairman Hurley's 'announcement that the shipping board will build two or more dry docks at Philadelphia, to con about $1,(00,000 each, was made at a hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee. Two drydocks are also to be built at Weehawken, N. X, and the drydock at Boston Is to be greatly extended. Hur ley said. Urgent Need for Drydocki "Before the war there were Insufficient drydocka to accommodate the ships we had then," continued Mr. Hurley, "With about 1000 cargo ships to be added to the American merchant marine this year, we shall be unable to obtain the fullest Utility from the ships unless we have ample docking facilities to make prompt repairs on them. "We intend to commence building about thirty drydocks along the Atlantic 'coast, .as soon as possible, so as to haVe them ready when we have the ships. It to estimated about $40,000,000 will be eoessary for their construction." Of the Delaware River appropriation, approved by the Commerce Committee. 11,100,000 is to be spent for continuing the improvement and maintenance from 'Allegheny avenue to the sea, and $1E0,.

NEW OFFICE FOR WEKERLE Appointed to Premiership of Austria-Hungary Zurich, May 8. Doctor Wekerle has been appointed Premier of Austria-Hungary and will inaugurate his duties by Issuing a manifesto Incorporating Bos nia and Herxeaovlna (two ' provinces which Auitrla-Hungary took from Tur- n Hungary, accoruing la the man-power, reports have already reached this country. One story. ( faltly well authenticated. Is that Mar-i f'shal Halg had 200,000 fewer men under his command at tne front tins jear than ho had last year. In the face of this he had about forty miles more to defend. The explanation given for tius Is that both the French and Brit, ish miscalculated the extent of this country's participation In the war this year. Both countries were misled by tho optimistic stories put forth in Washington about the number of tons of ships we should be able to build, and dbout the number of airplanes we should be able to send across the ocean. Perhaps wo were promising the Impossible, but American business energy has a big reputation abroad.
