16 FORM BIG POOL TO SOLVE WAR'S SHIP PROBLEMS All Sea Traffic Will Be Con* trolled by Board of i Three Men - J* - Washington, Jan. 31. —Definite steps were taken yesterday to solve the problem of ship control in the appointment of a shipping-control committee composed of P. A. S. Franklin, president of the Interna tional Mercantile Marine Corpora tion; H. H. Raymond, president of the American Steamship Company and the Clyde and Mallory Lines and Sir Cunnop Guthrie, British shipping agent, who will act for the Allies. The committe will have supreme charge of operation of all ships—■ American. Allied neutral—entering and leaving American ports. This committee will divert any and all shipping to whatever ports are best able to handle it, but the chief problem will be that of reliev ing congestion at New York. Tho appointment of the commit tee grew out of an all-day confer ence between shipping authorities of the United States and the British government. The only hitch that developed is that the War Department did not officially sanction the committee au thority, although it will co-operate in handling its traffic. The War Department is about the biggest shipper in the United States, and its present policies have con tributed greatly to port congestion. Efforts will be made to secure full approval of the War Department In all measures devised by the ship ping control committee, but, it was pointed out, the various bureaus of the department handling shipping may object to their plans being set aside. Board's Power Absolute The new body will have absolute power to divert any and all ship-1 ments of American exporters, and! through Sir Guthrie will be able to 1 divert Allied goods. The British gov- j ernment has not officially sanctioned the step, but as the plan announced follows closely suggestions from Lon don, no hitch is expected in that quarter. While the Army and Navy have no direct representatives on the committee, officials said that both departments saw the need of co ordination and had expressed them selves as ready to fall into line to accomplish it. The formation of con voys under the arrangement to ship more goods out of southern ports will be made somewhat more difficult but no real obstacles, it was said, will be offered. Tho railroad administration has agreed to co-operate in every way to make the plant a success and will so route freight as to get it quickly to j southern ports, Charleston and Sa-1 vannah will be the ports through 1 which most of the freight diverted from New York will be moved. All cotton and other products coming from the South will go largely ihrough these ports and no more will be shipped to New York to be stored until ship space can be obtained for its transportation. Foodstuffs to a large extent will be sent out of gulf •ports.

While President Wilson has de clared his opposition to the effort to create a War Cabinet, and it is ap parent that officials are against the creation of a Directorship of Mu nitions, events to-day, taken in con nection with previous developments, made it clear that the faults in the War Department system to which the Military Committee called at tention wore to be corrected with out legislative action, except in some slight particulars. One of the hopeful signs of a de ference 011 the administration's part to the views of men in Congress and out, that the best minds available should be employed to . help the United States win the war, is fortold in a hint conveyed to-day that Major General Leonard Wood is to have a prominent part in the super-war councils in Europe. It was inferred from what was said that General Wood, who is now in Prance, would be consulted by representatives of the Government with reference to the best means of employing the American forces abroad. General Wood was sent to France in line with the purpose of the War De partment to have every commander of a division spend a period of in spection and observation in the thea ter of war, and then return to his command in the United States. The guarded statement was made to-day that tho Administration contemplat ed keeping General Wood in Eu rope and giving him a prominent place in military councils.

Red Cross Fears Spread of Disease From Work of Quarantined Knitters People who are quarantined and who turn In knitted articles to tho Red Cross, are doing as much harm as German sympathizers, through their thoughtlessness, Red Cross of ficials say. The statement cites one Instance where a woman turned in a pair of wristlets. It was learned that she was in a home quarantined for diphtheria and the possibilities of tha wristlets being infected, was so great that they were immediately re jected. "We ask the people to be thoughtful in cases of this kind. We are very grateful for the work in homes, but we don't want work from quarantined homes," the officials Say. The statement lays special .3tr,>*s on the fact that this is one reason why diseases are found in the camps. Soldiers wear the knitted artlciss cind contract the diseases. Every worker in the knitting de partment at local Red Cross work rooms, in the Fager Building, is wcrking harder and is wearing a happy smile because the Harrlsburg knitted work has been of so flno a quality that the name of the chapter was placed on the honor roll and read before the state conference at Philadelphia yesterday. The work ers are very proud of the distinc tion given to their work. Kight boxes of hospital supplies, and two boxes of knitted articles were sent to the Pennsylvania Divi sion offices at Philadelphia to-day.

Hog Island Yard Is Under Severe Fire of War Investigators Washington, D. C.. Jan. 31. Orave objections to the choice of the Hog Island site for an immense ship | yard, to the nature of the plans for constructing the yard, and to the manner in which those plans have been carried out, are supplemented by charges of gross extravagance in a report made to the Senate Com merce Commission by Charles Piez, vice-president and general manager of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, a subsidiary of the United States Shipping Board. The report was submitted last Monday to the committee, which has been investigating the activity of the Shipping Board. Further Inquiries into the same matter, an interested Senator said to-day, will begin pres ently. Mr. Piez, far from attempting, like Secretary of War Baker, to minimize well-founded charges, frankly admits: That the Hog Island shipyard was laid out on too grand a scale. That the site was badly chosen. That the total cost of the plant, which is being built for the govern ment by the American International Corporation, will, if completed at the present rate of expense, cost more than $42,000,000 instead of $21,000,- 000, the original estimate. That this estimated total increase of more than 100 per cent, has al ready been far exceeded in many parts of the work; that the cost of driving piles, for example, has been $513,168 as against an estimate of $89,386, an increase of 571 per cent.; that temporary buildings, telephones and railroads, for which no provision whatever was made, have cost al ready about $700,000.

SMUEAGE BOOKS SALE STARTS BIG Organizations and Commit tees Find Brisk Demand; Hold Meeting Tomorrow Smileage Books, the sale of which will insure that the soldier boys in camp do not lose the chaince of seeing a good show at the "Liberty Thea i! ♦° r .u tents '. are bein Placed on sale at the various stores in the city. Many organizations have taken quick action toward boosting the sale. The goal of $5,000 sales of Smileage Books in Harrisburg has been divided be tween the Women's Committee, the National War Aid Committee, headed Her 'l lan Astrich, and the Men s Committee, the chairmen of which are as follows: R. C. Jobe. fra n„ri?a, ? r ®f nizations; Geo. S, Relnoehl, Bell telephone; N. S. Longaker, Penn sylvania Railroad; William R AJ C - Cord, stores, restaurants, etc.; Chas. H. Kehr, manufactories; C.

Movement Trained A wire was received to-day from Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who stated that "Smileage is not only an inspira tion, but one of the most practical, helpful things of this war. I know something of the question of morality and discipline among the soldiers, as I have seen it in Europe and at home during the war. They cannot bo solved by guard houses and jails. They are practical human questions. The 'Smileage Book' idea will do more to keep our boys the wholesome, manly fellows that most of them are and want to be, than all other forms of free entertainment combined. The helpful, stimulating, wholesome en tertainment you are arranging for the boys at the camps is an absolute nec essity. It is a patriotic duty to fur nish 'Smileage.' It will do almost as much to win the war as guns and ammunition." Reports from the Smileage Books team, headed by Mrs. Herman Astrich, shows an demand for the $1 and $5 books, and it Is expected that before the end of the week more than half of the allotment will liavo been sold. The plans for theatrical entertain ments to which the Smileage Book coupons will admit a man in uniform, free of cost, have been made available at once. The Y. M. C. A. has provided sixteen tents and the Government has built a "Liberty Theater" in each of the sixteen National Army canton ments, while in-the Southern camps, thirty-two Chautauqua tents have been set up. A meeting is planned of the local committees for to-morrow night at which time the first report on the re sults of the campaign will be pre sented and further enlargement of the sales' plan outlined.

WHEN LOYALTY ISt DOUBTED SCHIEDT RESIGNS POSITION Member of Franklin and Mar shall College Faculty Quits Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 81. —The resignation of Dr. Richard C.Schicd-, professor of biology at Franklin and Marshall College, with which insti tution he was connected thirty-one years, has created unusual comment in Lancaster by reason of his well known German vlew3. Because of his utterances relative to the war, made since America's entrance into it, he found himself strangely alone among his colleagues, it is reported, and his pro-German utterances early In the conflict earned him many enemies. • When the pledge of loyalty to the nation was before the community last spring he refused to sign it, on the ground that ho had taken an oath of loyalty when he became a naturalized American. Later, a declaration that he was against this country participating in the war and that his Prussian train ing led him to believe that any vio lation of his convictions would be self-annihilation was printed in the Reformed Church Messenger and created a commotion in Reformed Church and college circles. The sub ject was discussed quietly in the Reformed Church Synods which met soon afterwards, but no official ac- tion followed. At a meeting of the trustees of Franklin and Marshall College last December, When Ambassador von Bernstorff's name was stricken from the college rolls, the question of Dr. Schiedt's attitude was raised for the first time in an official manner and a committee, a little later, notified him that the college would no longer tolerate further evidences of antag onism of a pro-German nature. Last week a poster advertising n lecture by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis on "German Atrocities" was put up at the college, and shortly afterward somebody wrote on it, "Champion Liar of the U. 5.," referring to Dr. Hillis. Doctor Schiodt yesterday refused to affirm or deny that he wrote it. A college committee took cognizance of the matter, but Doctor Schiedt's resignation ended the necessity for further investigation.
