Beach and Palmer Strcet&
Station
COST TO BE $9,500,000
Emergency Fleet Corporation
to Co-operate With Local
Company in Work
Six million dollars will bo lent the
Philadelphia Electric Company by the
Government to solve the power prob
lem in this city. ,
This decision was reached this af
ternoon at a conference lu Washing
ton between Edward N. 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

Hughes's Aero Report
Justice Hughes places the M.itnc
for Inefficient organization of air
plane production In the following
paragraph:
"The defective organization of
the work of aircraft production nnd
the serious lack of competent di
rection of that work by the respon
sible officers, of the Hlgnal corps, to
which the relajh nnd waste wore
chiefly clue, were mutters for ml
minlstratlve correction through
unification of effort under compe
tent control. The provisions of the
criminal statutes do not reach In
efficiency."

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.
Would Prosecute Four
The recommendations of prosecu
tions follow:
Colonel Deeds for trial by court
martial "for his conduct In acting as
confidential adviser of his former busi
ness associates and in conveying in
formation In an Improper manner
with respect to the transaction of busi
ness between the Dayton Wright Air
plane Company and tho division of the
signal corps, of which Colonel Deeds
was the head; and in giving to the
representatives of tho committee on
public Information a false and mis
leading statement with tespect to th
progress of aircraft production for
purpose of publication with tho au
thority of tho Secretary of War."
Lieutenant Colonel Jest,e G, Vin

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,

mined' spirit of America to carry on the
war until freedom Is assured through
out the world. Uut ex-en with tho high,
est purpose and patriotism on the part
of tho people this great result could not
hax-e been achlex-ed without Intelligent
direction and organization. I xvlsli to
thank tho Liberty Loan committees, both
men and women; the bankers nnd busi
ness men, farmers, wage-earners, rail
road officers and employes und every
group of citizens who hax-e so ably and
enthusiastically co-operated with tho
Treasury In conducting the campaign.
"To the press of the country espe
cially credit is due for inphaslzlng
through their news columns and edi
torial pages the, necessity for making
this great loan successful.
"In spite of the Influenza epidemic,
the unenacted revenue bill and other
unfaxorable factors, the American peo
ple halo consummated the greatest
financial achievement in all history."
This makes the fourth Liberty Loan
the greatest popular war credit exer
floated. It Is the fourth time also that
Liberty loans have been oversubscribed.
It exeeeds by probably 3,000,000 the
reword In number of subscribers of the
third Liberty Loan, which had the larg
est to that time.
