URGING HELP OF ALL, SCHWAB IS DOWN TO WORK Great Burden of Getting Re sults Rests With the People Washington, April 19.—Charles M. Schwab is on the job as director gen- ! eral of shipbuilding, reaching here ! yesterday from , New York. It is understood he will establish his main headquarters in Philadelphia. "Everything that is in me I'm go ing to give to this thing," he said in A the office of Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the shipping board. "It is everyone's duty to help. I am not | talking the flippant patriotism that so many talk. 1 mean it. I don't know .what I can do, but I am filled with Pep and optimism and I'm going to build ships. I'm not a politician and I don't know diplomacy, but I'm go ing to do the work." "Charley" Schwab, a former labor er and a man who came up from the ranks, is going to carry the gospel of praise and encouragement to the workers in every shipyard in the country. He believes that this doc trine will "put over" the shipbuild ing program and for this reason he has designed himself an "outside man." Great Believer in Facts "I'm a field man," he said. "I told I Mr. Hurley and the board that was j my only value, and that's all I pre- | tend to be. I'm a great believer in j the fact that a leader's chief prov- ; ince is to get enthusiasm, optimism I and push into the people working for him. One of the lirst tilings I will do is to tour th(> shipyards of the At lantic coast. My real usefulness will j be at the yards, for only with his own people in his own way, can a man j give his best efforts. After all a man can only help. The great burden | rests on the people at the yards— the ones who do the work. They are I the ones who have thd rcsponsibili- ! ties in this matter. Much good can I be accomplished by encouraging! rather than criticising and the news- i papers can help wonderfully. A real j man can do his best work under I praise. Approval and encouragement \ is what is needed from the large for the success of this great un- j dertaking." Enthusiastic Over Achievements i Mr. Schwab was enthusiastic about j the work already accomplished by ! Mr. Hurley and Charles Piez. "Their success," ho said, "has been j prodigious. They have laid the foun- ! dation and the preliminary work has I been well done. We should remember ! that new enterprises started by new ] people necessarily must go slow until I they learn." Mr. Schwab, according to Mr. Hur- ! ley, has made suggestions to the ship- ; ping board which will bo carried into effect as soon as possible. While the j nature of these was not revealed by I the chairman, it is believed they con- j ccrn policies regarding the construe- ! tion of vessels so that they may be j adaptable for passenger service after j the war and also provide means for producing additional tonnage. Mr. ' Schwab will center all of his efforts j on steel construction and therefore 1 will have little, if anything to do I With the concrete construction. I It will not he necessary for him, Mr. Hurley said, to sever.his connec tion with the Bethlehem Steel Com pany. "I certainly won't give it any at tention," said Mr. Schwab. "I'll leave everything in the hands of Mr. Grace, the president. You know I'm only a sort of figurehead around there now. ! <*nyway." He laughed when he said this. Mr. Schwilb is vested with unlim ited power to do whatever,he wants to do to aid the shipping program. "The man who js given great au thority rarely takes it," he said. "It's the fellow who fears his ability that is the one to want it. Of course, in this position I will have to want it, but I won't have to use it."

FRIDAY EVENING,- CHAIRMAN HAYS STIRS PARTY TO i RENEWED ZEAL Organization on Scientific Methods Is Proceeding From Coast to Coast Washington, April 19. Quietly, j but n'ith unprecedented thorough ness, organisation on scientific meth ods of the Republican party from I coast to coast is in progress. Not since the days of the McKinley cam paigns has there been such a Re i publican awakening according to le ports coming into headquarters of the | Republican national committee und the Republican Congressional com mittee. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re publican national committee, is mak ing the final trips on a remarkable i swing around the circle of Western and Southern states. The brilliant victory of Senator Lenroot over the administration forces in Wisconsin is the lirst feather in the cap of Chairman Hays. According to those who participated in that battle, it is only the beginning of a series of tri umphs for the brilliant young lead er. To Open Oflicog jn New York | He will open New York offices of the Republican national committee j on May 1 in the Knox Building, For tieth street and Fifth avenue. Tem porary Western offices in Chicago are | now occupied by Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the national committee. The present trip of Chairman Hays is solely for the purpose of studying at close range the state Republican I ] committees and ascertaining the! j method or lack of method in hitch-j ! ing state and county committees. I He has found slackness, indiffer-! ence and incompetence in many places, hut almost invariably he has .substituted for these conditions en-i thusiasm and efficiency. California I is a shining example of the transfor-j ; mation wrought. There he has' j brought together the Republican fac tions that have been at each other's! ' throats for a decade, has shown lead"-I i ers of factions the folly of their jeal-j I ousies and has actually created j friendships where a few weeks agoi there were bitter enemies. His trip up to date has includedi i Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin. Minne ! sota, the Dakotas, Washington, ColO | rado, Utah. Idaho, Nevada and Caii \ fornia, and he is still going strong. Loyal Support-to the War Although this is merely a prelimin ary canter, as it were, for Mr. Hays, l the reports indicate amazing results.; | There appears to be a general re-! sponse to the Republican plan of! ! campaign. In brief, that includes! j unswerving support of President Wil- | i son in the conduct of the war, 'ait! j insistence _ upon the right of . con-J j structive criticism. Democrats Fighting Protection Another vital reason for the nya-; j temntic organization that is being; I perfected by Chairman Hays is the! I insidious but none the less deter-j i mined efforts that are being made! i by the Democratic Administration! 'and the Democratic national Con-' j gressional committee for the destruc-; ) tion of the protective tariff system j upon which this country has grown' to greatness. The plans are going I forward under the guidance of the, highest authorities in the Demo cratic party and in the government.! It makes no difference to tlio Dem-j ocratic leaders, both in and out of I office, that the French government! ! is scientifically studying the advisa | bility of establishing a complete pro i tective tariff system after the war.lt: makes no difference that the Ger man government's plans for a tariff war are known to the entente and that Russia will probably take its place with the powers committed to protective tariff theories. Free trade doctrines lie at the base of this Dem ocratic Administration and they per meate every office, from the White Liberty Editorial By James K. I/cntz Recorder of Deeds THE CRISIS I Never before in the history of our nation have we been confronted by such a crisis as now stares us in the face. We must win this War, and shall win, but we must support the government if we wish to win. To support the government we must give our money to them in the form of buying Liberty Bonds. Let us see what the government does for us, and of what importance it is: 1. Government enables us to be independent of foreign countries. No individual could protect prop erty against attacks of foreign peo ples, for they could not support an army or navy individually. 2. Government protects our prop erty from criminals. If it were not for the sheriffs, constables, and policemen, persons who carry money would be in constant danger of be ing robbed. Furthermore, every night one would retire with the dread I of being murdered for a few pieces of silver in the house. 3. Government maintains peace and order. 4. Government performs functions which would be unprofitable as private ventures. (A) Protection to health. (B) Protection to life. (C) Care of poor and helpless. (D) Protection to public morals. (E) The census. (F) Aids to commerce. (G) Aids to agriculture. 5. Government performs functions in the interest of the many which as private ventures would be per- ( formed in the interest of the few. Now seeing what government does for us, we see that without it we could not exist. So as good American citizens, it is our duty to uphold ' the stars and stripes and make the | world free for democracy. • Besides being a duty to the state, it is a duty we owe to the boys who j have left. Each one holds a cherish led 'place in our hearts. They are | giving their all, what should we give? We have sent them away, j telling them wc shall stand by them | 'till the last. l>et us do our best ' and act quickly. Buy Liberty Bonds ' not only because we feel it our | duty, but because we as American i citizens wish to do the very best we lean by America and Old Glory. | —: House to the smallest bureau of the government. Woniaii Suffrage an Assuc There is another angle to the po litical situation, attracting the atten tion of Chairman Hays and his as sociates. That is the attitude of the President and the Democratic party j toward woman suffrage. Inside Jn-! ; formation as to the intentions of the 1 leaders, including the President, is I to the effect that the bill enabling | the states to vote upon the Susan B. i Anthony amendment is to suffer a j painless and, so far as the Adminis ! tration can manage it, an unnoted 1 death in the Senate committee. More •than three-fourths of the Republi ! can Senators are committed to its I passage, a record that equals that made by the Republican members ! of the House, but the Bourbons of! I the South are standing like rocks i ! against the rpeasure. j Mr. Hays is planning to place be-| ' fore women voters in states where ! there is equal suffrage this condition and the responsibility of the Adniin- I istration for it. With that end in ] view, he is considering the addition j to his national organization of a wo ! man's division to be officered and run by women of administrative experi j ence and ability. The work of this j division will not be confined to suf-l ' frage states, but will extend to states I where suffrage sentiment is march ing toWard victory. Democratic Realization The Democratic national commit tee now realizes that it is facing a master tactician and one who is putting every ounce of his own en ergy and of the energy of his acco ciates into the national campaign, i HARRISBtJRG TELEGRAPH! 72 ON CASUALTY LIST; 12 KILLED IN HURT There Die of Injuries and Five of Disease; 45 Arc Slightly Wounded Washington, April 19.—The day's casualty list contained seventy-two names, divided as follows: Killed in action,, twelve; died of wounds, three; died o{ disease, five; wounded severely, seven; wounded slightly, forty-five.
