Hurley, chair man of the shipping board, and the other members of that body. At the conference It was tentatively determined to put through the proposed contract by which the Emergency rieet Corporation will co-operate with the Philadelphia Electric to completo the company's big power station at Beach and Palmer streets, to build three addl tlortal sub-stations, and to make other distribution changes and additions de signed to give this city all the electric power It will need for years to come. To Coat 0,5OO,OOO It is contemplated that the plant at Beach and Palmer streets and additions will bo operated by the Philadelphia Electric Company and dost approximate ly 19,600,000. 'The whole improvement in the Phila delphia Electric power system 13 es timated .to cost JH, 500,000. In addition to the big new power plant, which will contain three, gen erating' units, estimated to produce 30, 000 kilowatts each, or a total of 90,000 kilowatts, it Is proposed to build three new substations, to cost 52.500,000, and make certain transmission changes to the attributing system so an to change from high current to low current at an estimated' cost of $2,000,000 more. The part the shipping board will play in this gigantic plant to Increase Phila delphia's electric power production will be to loan the Philadelphia Electric Com pany 40 per cent of the money needed. or approximately $6,000,000 at a rate of interest around 5 per cent, and put orders through other departments of the Government enabling the Philadelphia Electric Company to obtain all the necessary building materials at the greatest possible speed. Help Waa Needed Without the help from the United States shipping hoard the Philadelphia Electric Company would be absolutely powerless to raise the needed funds or obtain the necessary materials. With the board.'sc help It can obtain priority orders for all the machinery and building materials necessary, ca ecure the necessary labor to do the Job through the United States Employ ment Service; will obtain a loan of $6,000,000 at low Interest, and can se cure the Oovernment's approval of a plan to -float bonds to ralso the other $8,600,000, which It would not be per mitted to do under existing law with out consent of the capital Issue com mittee, ' Tf lM.nln.mifll tn hnVM nit Vi Imnrnvn.

Officers, Report Urges HENRY FORD CENSURED fly ie Associated Press Washington, Nov. 1. The mistakes, failures, delays and wantages of the airplane production program under'the administration of the old aircraft boards before the re organization of last May, are detailed at length In the report of the Invest! gatlon conducted by Charles E. Hughes and Attorney General Gregory, which was before the country today, after having been made public at the White MnllkP. While tho report acknowledged tho successes and achievements of the new administration in aircraft, headed oy John D. Ryan, it denla unsparingly with the shortcomings of the old or rnnirntlnns nnd recommends court J martial proceedings for one army offl cer concerned and , criminal prosecu tions for threo others. Blame is Centred Tho chief blame for the fallutes is charged by the Hughes report to defec tive organization In the army signal corps, of which Major General Snu'ers waa liead, and tho lack of competent direction of the work by the respon sible officers of the corps. "It Is quite clear," says the report, "that this undertaking wns beyond the competency of the chief signal officer, who had neither training nor experi ence for such a large Industrial enter prise, and those who were brought to the task In his department failed to produce an organization that waa adapted to meet the exigency." In a brief summary of the facts dis closed by his Investigation, and of the conclusions ho derived from them, Judge Hughes placed the major re sponsibility on the failure of Secretary Baker and the Wilson Administration to create an adequate and efficient or ganization to handle the big problem of aircraft production. On this point the report says: "The defective organization of the work of aircraft production and the serious lack of competent dlrctlon of that work by the responsible officers of the signal corps, to which the de lays and waste were chiefly due, were matters for administrative conectlon through unification of effort under competent control. The provisions of the criminal statutes do not reach In efficiency. The report finds that theie were delays In getting airplane models from the Allies and preparing specifications for their production; that plans fre quently were changed to the embar rassment of contractors: that some manufacturers well qualified by or ganization and experience could not get orders, while others apparently with few qualifications, If any, did suc ceed In getting them, and that there was confusion and wasto In tho plants.

GILBERT Sttif Cnncfviviftrnt KvrnUw Pnhtir T.idorr Copurtoht. IStS. by Public l.rtig'r Comjmnv Washington, Nov. 1. The end is "in sight. Events are developing so rapidly in Europe that no one here knows exactly what the present situation is or what the next few hours will bring forth. The cables are clog ged, and the State Department is behind the press in its information. The President is being kept con stantly in touch with the situation by Colonel House, but his personal representative's information relates only to the Versailles conference. Here arc developments that are confidently looked for in the next few hours or the next few days at most; 1. The announcement of the terms of armistice to be offered to Ger many. Agreement on these has vir tually .beam reached at Versailles. 2. The destruction of the German Black Sea fleet, now subject to at tack as a result of the armistice with Turkey and the opening of the Dardanelles. A naval defeat on the Black Sea would have an im portant moral effect in Germany. 3. The acceptance by Germany of the terms of the armistice and her surrender to this country and the Allies. ' 4. The abdication of the Raiser. Mitteleuropa is crumbling rapid ly into ruin. Turkey's surrender and revolution in Austriu, with the consequent collapse, military und political, of the Dual Empire, mark the end unmistakably, no one here novi doubts. The favorite theory that somewhere there was a trap in the German proposals now has no advocates. Members of the Ad ministration openly indicate their confidence that Germany will accept the terms which are to be offered to her. I Germany Must Take Terms She has indeed little or no choice. Leading military authorities here said privately since the collapse of Bulgaria that for Germany to fight on after Austria's withdrawal from tho war would be a moral impos sibility. No army and no nation would stand long the strain of fight ing against certain defeat. But the situation for Germany is much worse than tho mere with drawal of Austria from the war would have made it. Austria has not merely stopped fighting. She has disintegrated. Four or five nu tions now occupy the place once occupied by tho dual Empire. And revolution threatens utter chaos in what remains of Emperor Charles's realm. Revolution lies just in tho rear of tho Empire of the Hohenzollerns, in many ways as formidable a foe as are the armies of Foch attack ing from the other side. In face of this danger, no one now seri ously believes that Germany can even haggle over the terms of an armistice, or make gestures of re fusal. What has been contended in this correspondence from the time of Prince Max's first approach to Mr. Wilson is now universally con ceded to be true. Germany must surrender. She has no choice but to do so, v To her own people she can siy that she has been deserted by her Allies and, while still undefeated, Continued on Pago four.
