' To Launch 300,000 Tons
on Delaware Monthly
"Upon his return today from an
Inspection of Pacific coast ship,
yards, Charles M. Schwab, director
general of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, announced the follow
lng speed-up program:
Prohibition of foreign steel ship
ments. Steel working surplus of 60,000
tons for each shipyard.
Building of new plate mills If
necessary.
Adoption of Macy wage scale In
accessories plants. .
Allocation of shipyard -work to
capacity to furnish equipment.
A ship output of 300,000 tons
monthly for the Delaware River
district.
And to top it all, Schwab insists
every individual 'must be enthusi
astically behind the shipbuilders.
An advance supply of 60,000 tons of
steel in each tJf the country's shipyards
as the means of stirring enthusiasm In
the shipping program which alone can
make possible'the completion of 10,000,
000 tons of ships yearly is Charles M,
Schwab's formula for America's final
shipbuilding stride. Air. Schwab '13 di
rector general of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. '
Prohibition of all shipments to foreign
countries is the first step planned in the
creation of tills reserve supply. I
Mr. Schwab, who arrived here today
after a "month's tour of the western ship-
I" j-ards. started work on his plan as soon
.as'he setfoot in, this city.
" Enthusiasm "of 'the''"eople, as evl-
I denced In all "Sections of the Wes lie

', production. Without reserve steel sup-;-p.les,
this enthusiasm, he added, Is not
''possible.
' West More Enthusiastic
""Despite the -Enormous strides In ship
building made In this section," said Mr.
Schwab, "enthusiasm of the people hero
is far below that of theJVest. But it
will be arr(ed forward en a. 'wave of
steel' until the shipyards in the Dela
ware River district are producing from
i0 to 45 per cenr of the nation's ships."
The, part to be played In building
ships by the Delaware Jllver yards was
enthusiastically explained by the direc
tor general. '
"The Delaware River hap not had its
chance;' It Is not completed," he said.
That is why the enthusiasm which we
must have here Is still below the sur
face. The western yards are operating
almost full tllt.Itla to the Delaware
River district we must look for the sur-
I plus 800,000 toru of shipping monthly."

the gigantic shipbuilding program.
"We can't destroy enthusiasm," added
Mr. Schwab, "but we .will, If we 'don't
give the shipyards steel. I am going into
the steel situation at once. There .honld
" be; not one ounce for foreign powers
until every yard has Its 'reserve rush

the people as a whole behind the men

Befers to Japan and China
Although. Mr. Schwab refused to com
ment further on foreign steel shipments,
It Is understood he referred to the
agreements made with the Japanese and
Chinese 'Governments, which are now
building ships for the United States
Shipping Board under an agreement
which allows them steel for two ships
for every one they produce for this
country. The total building there Is
close to tiny snips.
n Another arrangement that hampers
steel shipments to the shipyard, said
Director General Schwab, Is the amount
of steel allotted to the railroad admin
istration for the building of cars. It Is
argued '.these and other arrangements
over which the emergency Fleet Cor
poration has no control were responsible
,for this month's'shlpments'to the yards
falling far below all recent monthly
shipments.
"Every shipyard has been enlarged to

It'There can be no more enlargements.
the steel situation would not permit.
Where the capacity to furnish materials
Is less than the capacity of the yards.
Work will be stopped on new ways and

"If necessary, .however, we will build

yards.
"As our program is now laid out, 450

No break In the hot wave that has had
the city In Its grip since last Saturday
Is In sight, according to the weather
man.
It will be partly cloudy tonight and

rain In the northern part of the State.
But there will not be much change In
the temperature and the chances are
that this community will keep right on
sweltering for another forty-eight hours.
There was,a touch of coolness In the
air early this morning that seemed to
forecast a fairly pleasant day. But this
proved a delusion and 'a snare, for no
sooner had the sun gotten well above
the horlion than the humidity Jumped
to 90, almost the saturation point, while
the mercury slid up from 71 at 8 o'clock
to 85 at 1.
During the morning the humidity
dropped back to 85, but the percentage
of moisture in the air was still so high
as to make the day almost unendurable.

taken by the Entente Powers in land

Washington, July 25.
President Wilson had a lengthy

It was understood the Japanese re

extending military aid 'to Russia
through Siberia was discussed, al
though officials declined to say whether
the reply had been received.
Washington, July 25
Japan has made known her position
on President Wilson's proposed program
of aid for Russia. This was indicated
in States Department circles today when
officials for the first time refused to
discuss the Japanese situation as re
gards America's plans for giving assist

Acting Secretary of State Polk, when
asked If any word had been received
from Toklo, replied that that "was a
matter he could not discuss at this
time." On previous occasions he had
let it be known that no communication
from the Orient had been receled, and
this was taken to Indlcato that Jnpan

The British war cabinet has decided
that if tho munitions strike continues
the strikers of military age will be
drafted promptly into the army, accord

In some of the morning newspapers.
George i H. Roberts, Minister of Labor,
gave a hint to this effect In a speech In
London Wednesday when ho declared
that ro young man had a right to ex

the ground they were doing work more
valuable than fighting
The Government remains firm In Its
refusal to withdraw tho embargo which
ostensibly Is tho cause of the strike, al

TRANSPORT GOT ONE
Three German submarines were sunk
by destioyers and an American trans
port, carrying the old Sixth Regiment,
Pennsylvania National Guard, of this
city, according to a letter received by
the parents of Corporal James J Coch
ran, formerly a Philadelphia prize
fighter, who was reported In General
Pershing's casualty list today as having
been 'killed In action.
Corporal Cochran, familiarly known
among boxers as "Jlmmle," va3 the sop
of John Cochran, 5429 Master street.
The fight In which the submarines
were sent to the bottom occurred off
the coast of France the day before the
old Sixth, now the One Hundred and
.Eleventh Infantry, landed, according to
the letter. Until that time the trip
across had been uneventful.
Members of the unit were on deck
when the first submarine was sighted,
ahnost In the path of the transport. It
apparently had Jurt risen from beneath
the waves, and did not seem aware of
the presence of the ship, which carried
"Philadelphia's own" almost exclusively.
Full rpeed ahead was ordered and the
big ship made a straight line for the
submarine. Before the undersea warrior
could veer off it was caught almost
amidships and sent to the bottom. Sol
diers watched with breathless interest

obtain from Class 1.
Lieutenant General S. M. B. Young,
retired, former chief of staff of .he
United States army, made this declara
tion this afternoon in an Interview at
the Rltz-Carlton Hotel.
"The "War Department estimate that
Class 1 would oring a.ouu.uuu men into
tho service does not. cover the needs
of the army In the field," the general
said
"At least three million men should
be In arms. That Is, that many men
should be fighters. Two million more
are needed for staff and vocational pur
poses, such as the engineering divisions
and other labor, units In the army.
"To put our army on a footing where
it can administer the llcklr. to Ger
many that is needed to end this war,
the draft laws should be amended to
make eligible more men than now are
Included In Its scope.
"The age limit should be lowered to
twenty years- All boys should be called
Into the army when they reach that ae
and given a year of Intensive military
training. None should be sent Into ac
tion until wtnty-one year old.
