f British airmen brought down 336 Ger

June 2, of which 283 were totally de

spinning from the sky toward the

until only black smudges were left.

observers leaped from their flaming

repeatedly and set nflre again and again.
In one day British airmen, often mere
Doys, shot thirty-four Prussians from
the Bky and dropped 5D'4 tons of bombs
on enemy military centers, going as far
as Bruges. Disdaining the anti-aircraft

Meanwhile German war planes have
been more, daring than ever before.
"Many towns and villages behind the
Allies' lines have been bombed. Hospitals
seem to be the worst sufferers, Several

Wsmhlnition, June G The war Indus-1
tries Doarci is considering ine nxing 01
prices on lumber for tho commercial
consumer as well as for the Oovernmcnt.
This would follow out the Government's
policy of giving the private' consumer
the same price as that obtained by the
Government.
The board Is prepared also to fix the
price of cotton duck and other cotton
fabrics to the 'public where the Govern
ment purchases may have upset the
market, It was announced.) Wherever
a tendency Is shown to raise textile
prices the board will consider the ques

the price on the raw products, but If
necessary rtonie means of stabilizing the
price of raw cotton may be found.
CALLS 200,000 MORE
TO NATIONAL SERVICE
Mobilization to Begin June 24.
Order Comes as Million
Are Enrolling
Vrnlilnton, June 6.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has sent orders to the Goernors of all
States except Arizona for the mobiliza
tion between June 24 and 28 of 200,000
more registrants. This was in addition
to 40,000 negro men requisitioned from
twenty States and brings the total num
ber of selective service men' called to
the colors to 1,596,704 When they are
In camp the nation's army will num
ber more than 2,000,000 men.
Orders for mobilization of 40,000
negro registrants qualified for general
military service to entrain from June
20 Jo 25 also were sent out to twenty
States.
Maryland will send 2500 to Camp
Meade; New Jersey, 500 to Camp Dlx,
and Pennsylvania, 600 to Camp Sher
man. Yesterday's draft registration failed
by about 25 per cent to come up to the
predicted 1,000,000, nccordlng to the first
scattered returns to the office of the
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Karly figures Indicated that not more
than 750,000 young men who had reach
ed the age of twenty-one years since
June 6, 1917, were enrolled.
It was made plain that later and
more-complete returns might alter these
figures considerably, hut. officials were
convinced that, even so, tho final re
suit would find a registration far below
predictions.
Assignments for the men called to the
colors tinder the new order Indicate the
rapidity with which troops now are
moving overseas. In nearly every In
stance the registrants under this
requisition are assigned to National Army
cantonments, where as recently, when
calls were made. It was necessary to
send the men to National Guard, regular
army and other camps, because the can
tonments were filled.
Included In the quotas and camp as
signments arc:
Delaware 150 to Camp Meade.
District of Columbia 300 to Camp
Meade.
Maine 2500 to Camp Deven. Mass.
Maryland 2150 to Camp, Meade.

". More than 6000 young men of "draft
age have been Included In. the "War
population" which has come to Wash
ington since the United States took up

ment, why the physical examination
records of hundreds of transfers have
not been returned to the boards ot
original jurisdiction. Assurance was
given that the papers are being classified
as rapidly as possible.

NEWS OF MEN WHO ARE BRIDGING THE SEA
DOINGS OF WORKERS
AT THE CHESTER YARD
"Riveters' Number" of Ches
ter Compass Goes
to Press
"Jim" Keenan, In the blacksmith shop,
Chester shipyard, enjoys the reputation
of being one of the best furnace men on
the Delaware P.lver front. He and
Charles De Glace, shlplltter, have re
cently been picked for expert work of
great importance. Keenan turned out
tome forglngs that had no Mich thing
as a i-tralKht line, and It fell to De
Glace to fit them to' steel hulls.
Hull workers nt Din Chester vnrtl lnnk
up to Phil Patterson, assistant superln-
irnueni oi nun eom-trucilou, as a man
who knows his business und Insists upon
first-class workmanship. The boys arc
with him and did their best to hf-ip him
get the tankir Phoenix ready for
launching on May 31, Patterson knows
ins men and their wants and ples them
a wise loiemans consideration In re
turn tor tneir co-operation.
One of the best Joiners at the Chester
yard is Brython Jones. And of the
same man it can be said that he Is also
one of the best cartoonists on nil the
shipyard newmanrrs In ihe pountrw
Jones halls from L'llca, N Y.. and simply
irirtert into the blilpjard like most of
the men. looking for a chance to do
his bit In the war. He is a graduate of
Utlca University and also of an art
school In New York. Ho gives two
das each month to Joseph II. Loughran,
editor or the Chester Compass, the offl
ci.il ard monthly. During that lim8 he
works at nothing but cartoons and his
work Is w'dely noticed by shlpworkcrs.
In six months Jones has developed re
markable fcklll.
Charles Stnnt, foreman of riveters
and piece-workers, Is opposed to rivet
ing and other contests on Government
ships. He nnd his men all made records
on the Phoenix. The foreman takes the
ground that a record either knocks the
holder out for several davs. or else
diverts his mind from his work to his
achievement, sometimes both.
The next Issue of the Chester Com
pass, which went to press yesterday. Is
called tho riveters' number. The last
was foremen's number. In the coming
Issue the heater bo and passers-on
for first time will come Into their own.
Though si very Important link In the
ship's labor chain, these craftsmen have
never had their pictures In the papers,
nor have they any autographed letters
of praise from the big bos. Mr. Schwab.
The Compass will more than make up
for these slights when It comes out with
nice half-tones of some of the heater
boys and passers-on at the Chester yard,
along with a few pleasant remarks
about them and their work.
SM00T URGEiHEAVY
TAX ON WAR EARNINGS
New Bill Would Compel Prof
iteers to Pay Bulk of
Revenue
Washington, Juno 6.
Preparation for congressional pursuit
of war profits has begun.
While the House Ways and Means
Committee postponed for one day Its
scheduled hearings on the new war-tax
bill. Senator Smoot and others were
preparing to contend vigorously for a
bill to ohange the present excess profits
tax Into a war profits tax.
Smoot has drawn a bill under which,
he asserts, war profiteers will pay the
bulk of the taxes, while general busi
ness, not owing its prosperity to the
war. will not be heavily taxed.
The tax bill passed last October taxes
excess profits profits above the normal
returns of pre-war-years.
Smoot's plan Is to compute war profits
by deducting from the net income for
the taxablo year the average pre-war
nrofit. The nre-war profit Is determined
under his bill by aeraglng the net In-
come for U
I beginning wl
threc of five pre-war years
lth 1909. then adding 8 per
cent of any new capital put into the
business and deducting 8 per cent or any
capital withdrawn.
Upm the war profit Smoot would levy
tax thus:
Ten per cent on war profits of 10
ner cent: 12U per cent on profits be
tween 10 and 20 per cent: 15 per cent
between 20 and 30, and by 5 per cent
Increases for each 10 per cent increase
in profits up to 80 per cent on war
profits of 100 per cent or more.

TO INFORM WAR BOARD
OF SHORTAGE IN STEEL
J. Leonard Rcploglc Will Sub
mit Figures to Federal
Body Today
Washington, June 6
Director of Steel Supply J Leonard
Replogle, will today lay before the war
Industries board data Indicating that
a steel shortage exists and that
the Oocrnment and Allies' requirements
will necessitate the virtual cutting .pff of
non-war Industries from their steel sup
ply. Mr Ilcplogle will report the result of
a series of conferences he held last week
with the Joint committee of the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Institute and the
war Industries board appointed to ob-
lain facts as to Government and Allied
needs.
It Is said that one of the chief factors
In the situation Is the vast extension
of the American military program
In addition, the Allies nre asking
for Increasing quantltes of steel plates
and ordnance material The steel
mills hae now on their books unfilled
orders for steel approximating 17.000.
000 tons, which Is a little more than half
of the entire output for last year.
Figures Mr. Replogle will give the
board today, however, do not Include
manv anticipated requirements of the
Government If the full program Is car-
Irlcd out. it Is said, but are confinea
to the orders already hooKca ana ine es
timates made up to date.
Opposition to any further curtailment
of so-called non-essential Industries has
reached such proportions both from
within the Government and the Indus
tries themsehes that doubt Is ex
pressed In some quarters that any Im
mediate curtailment will follow this re
port Opinion among the members of the
war Industries board differs. Some pro
fess to believe there will be sufficient
steel to meet commercial requirements
at least In part. Others, particularly Mr.
Replogle. Insist the Government and the
Allies are going to take all the steel that
can be produced during the next year.
In other branches of the Government
a like difference of opinion exists. One
element holds that no radical curtail
ment should be made, chiefly on the
ground that It will take from two to
four years to get to Europe materials
now manufactured, ordered or In proc
ess of manufacture.
FRAMING U.S. STEEL POLICY
War Industries Board Considers
Report of Probers
Washington, June 6. The Govern
ment's steel policy for the duration of
the war was In the making this after
noon, when the war Industiles board
met to consider the report of an Investi
gating committee of steel men appointed
last month. It wos believed that the
report provides for the complete cutting
oft of many nonessential Industries and
the curtailing of others to probably .0
per cent of their normal steel require
ments. .,,.,. t
The policy adopted will virtually af
fect Industries employing some 3,000,
000 men. It was made clear that they
would not be thrown out of work by any
action that may be taken, but that they
...in hA nffordfd emnloymcnt In indus
tries producing materials essential to
war purposes.

Naval Graduates
Wafttilngton, June 6.
"Germany can never w-ln the war.
She could neer win It even If her
armies marched simultaneously down
the streets of Paris and of London, for
America has called Into life those forces
tlvit not all of the cannon In the world
can kill those elements of justice, of
right and of liberty that no conqueror
can long hold prisoner."
This was the message delivered today
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels to the
19D members of the Annapolis Naval
Academy class of 1919, graduated a year
ahead of schedule because of the war.
The Kun has "Intensified the fire of
our passion" by hl.s raids off America,
the Secretary told the clars.
"You men." ho t-ald, "enter upon your
careers at a time when the enemy has
brought the war to our cry doom Why
has he done so? Does he think to
frighten Us by so doing, No! a thous
and times no ! He has Intensified the
fire of our passion He has brought
home to us the need of strength and
more strength so that he may the more
quickly nnd the more thoroughly be
stripped of hlu arrogance.
"No, It is not what he does that
counts. It Is what we do He may bend
our lines; he may even break them,
but he cannot break our spirit With
our heads up and our hearts unbowed
the end is certain."
The Secretary recalled the traditions
of the American navy, which he called
upon the graduates to perpetuate ; the
deeds of its heroes, which he urgid
them to emulate; reviewed the alms of
America In the war and read a mesragr.
"addressed to the embryo ensigns from
'Alee Admiral Sims.
"We have come Into this war with no
thought of material gain." said Secre
tary Daniels; "with no hope of
measurablo reward ; with no desire for
power and with no lust of battle. We
have come In with pity nnd with hate
In our hearts pity for those whom a
soulless International outlaw had
ravished and destroyed, and hate for
the despicable things he has done under
the peclous plea of military right. War
upon the aged and Infirm ; war upon the
women and children: war upon neutrals,
war upon the Bed Cross and then call
It the act of military necessity.
The Secretary revealed that naval
casualties to date were thirty-eight of
ficers and 629 men; and th.it fifty-five
men had been Interned and seven made
prisoners.
Ensigns who graduated today enter at
once on duty aboard lighting ships.

Warns Against Waste X
New York, June . '
The creatlon'of the voluntary blockade irj
around extravagance and waste, coupled , VJB
with State and municipal restriction of J,p
public expenditures. Is the biggest con- J"j
trlbutlon the civil population can make -;
toward winning the war and one that '
bears Immediately upon the question of
victory and defeat. "
Addressing the National Conference
on War Economy on the subject of "
"Capital Issues for State, and Municipal
Debts ahd Their Belatlons to War Fin
ancing" Paul M. Warburg, vice governor
of the Federal Beserve board, urged to.
day the governors, mayors and public of
ficials present to make themselves enthu '
slastlc leaders In a country-wide savings .
movement and to Inilte the people by
example to co-operate with them to the',
utmost of their ability.
"Nothing can be more detrimental to
the successful accomplishment of our '
Industrial war program than the effort
to leaic undisturbed the Industries that
cater to the extravagant tastes ot all
classes," he declared. "
"Women must spend much less on
finery," Mr. Warburg continued, "some
girls may lose their places as dress
makers, but as a result there will be
found large numbers of them running
elevators, or doing clerical work or
serving In munition factories," he said. ,
"Public service corporations will have
to gie way to war needs," Mr. Warburg
said.
"I venture to urge to all that all :
State and municipal governments" he
continued, "do their utmost wherever
possible and practicable to find a modus
iendl for their public service corpora
tions and help them to reach agree- '
ments whereby unnecessary contracture!
or franchise construction obligations
may be waived or held In abeyance at,

foretell the future to Pharaoh he would "7$a
prruici inai at tne end of this war there
will be a great famine of raw materials
and finished products, and he would
urge those In power to acquire and
store up whatever surplus of food
stuffs?, cotton or other similar raw
hvatcrials the country might be able to
? and accumulate. As far as our
o, position Is concerned, such reserves '
of'Soods will prove of the greatest
value during the war In adjusting our
foreign balances, and a most effective
protection for the coming period of the
after-the-war trade struggle. Whoever
holds the raw materials will hold the
key to commerce and finance,
