Tells League to En
force Peace
By Associated Press
Philadelphia. May 18.—Production
of three to four 10.000-ton ships a
day is the dream of Charles M.
Schwab, director general of the
emergency fleet corporation. He told
the members of the national com
mittee of the League to Enforce
Peace at a dinner here last night
that things In the shipbuilding line
were going along with a vim and
that every month would show a big
increase in the output of vessels.
Mr. Schwab topped off his remarks
with a subscription of SIO,OOO toward
the budget of the league.
"This war depends upon ships,"
said Mr. Schwab. "We are called
upon now to produce between 8,-
000,000 and 10,000,000 tons of ships.
Great as this may seem, I have no
hesitancy in saying that you will be
astonished by the ability of the
United States to build ships.
"During this month we will place
into the service one 10,000-ton ship
every day. By October or November,
we ought to be producing two ten
thousand-ton ships every working

Ukrainians Bitter Against
Kaiser; City Council Out
London, May 16.—Anti-German
agitation in the Ukraine continues
unchecked, says a Vienna dispatch
to the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin and
transmitted from the Hague by the
Exchatige Telegraph Company. Uk

bitterly and accuse her of using the
Russian warships at Sebastopol for
the purpose of seizing coal and Uk
rainian merchantmen.
It is reported that the Germans
have mined the strait of Yenkale,
closing the passage into the sea of
Azov. Serious trouble, it is added,
has occurred at Nikolaiev, where the
Germans liave dismissed the city
council.

M. Duval, Condemned by
Court-Martial, Replies to
Death Sentence
Pari*. May 16.—Death for M. Du
val, who was director of the sup
pressed Germanophlle newspaper.
Bonnet Rouge, was the finding of the
court-martial here yesterday. M.
Duval was on trial for treason.
The six other defendants were sen
tenced to imprisonment for terms
ranging from two to ten years. Ev
ery decision of the court-martial
was voted unanimously.
M. Marlon, assistant manager of
Bonnet Rouge, received ten years'
imprisonment at hard labor.
Jacques Landau, a reporter on the
newspaper, was given eight years at
hard labor. "
Goldsky was sentenced to eight
years at hard labor and military
degradation.
M. Joucla, a reporter, was given
five years at hard labor.
M, Vercasson was sentenced to two
years in prison and fined 5,000
francs, with sentence suspended.
Jean Leymarle, former director of
the Ministry of the Interior and
head of the secret service, was given
two years in prison and fined 1,000
francs. *
M. Duval with great fortitude
heard Colonel Voyer read the death
sentence. He then said:
"The judgment of man often is er
roneous. Posterity will judge wheth
er I am guilty of treason."
Before the verdict was reached M.
Duval in an impassioned speech had
declared that none of the accused
was in any way an accomplice of
his. He declared he was ready to
face any verdict serenely.
M. Marion seemed to be relieved
by the end of the strain, while Lan
dau was In a state of utter collapse.
Goldsky maintained the same sneer
ing attitude which characterized him
throughout the trial. Leymarle, ad
dressing the court, said he had been
sufficiently punished for any lack of
foresight he had shown.
Leymarle apparently was overcome
with emotion. He told the Associat
ed Press he expected at least tho
same treatment as that accorded
Vercasson, whose sentence was sus
pended. "I am a ruined man," he
said.
Leymarie's condemnation aroused
greater public interest and discus
sion than, did the death sentence of
Duval, as public minds naturally
connected hts sentence with the
forthcoming trial of Louis Malvy, ex-
Minister of the Interior, who was
formerly Leymarie's chief.
| Attorney Guillain, pleading yester
day in behalf of Leymarie, contend
ed that the accused was blameless.
He denied emphatically that Ley
marie was a gambler and had played
poker with Louis Malvy, former
Minister of the Interior, and others,
as was stated by L'Action Francaise.
Addressing the court, the lawyer
said:
"We ask no mercy. Apply the law
without fear and without weakness."
New Records Made For
Plowing by Tractor
The Lancaster County Farm Bu
reau Agent, F. S. Bucher, yesterday
one of the most successful trac
tor demonstrations has has been
given in this 'part of the state.
The demonstration took place on
tho farm of I. W. Shireman, about
three-fourths of a mile from Mari
etta: Ten of the best known makes
of tractors were on the ground, and
each was allotted a certain strip of
land amounting to 1 2-3 acres.
Their coal oil or gasoline consump
tion was taken, as well as the time
to do the work and the depth of the
furrows drawn.
The little Cleveland, the baby
of the crowd, had the honor of finish
ing its allotment of ground ahead
of all the other tractors, consuming
less gasoline than any other tractor
in the contest, and plowing just as
dep as any other one. The Cleveland
was able to make its turns at the
end of a furrow in from 15 to 20
seconds, an advantage that makes
it a very desirable tractor for all
kinds of work as well as plowing.
The consumption of gasoline on
the Cleveland was even far less than
tho consumption of coal oil on the
other tractor that used oil for fuel.
The Cleveland also was able to do
as much work in the same time with
2-bottom plows on gasoline as the
larger tractors did with 3-bottom
I plows on coal oil. The Cleveland
tractor disced the ground Immedi
ately after it plowed it, which shows
that the caterpillar type of track
makes it possible for the Cleveland
to disc, pulverize or roll as soon as
the plowing is finished.
This demonstration was witnessed
by between 500 and 800 interested
farmers from that territory, as well
as the state officials from Harris-i
' burg, who are very much interested
in the tractor situation to assist 1
Uncle Sam and the farmer in getting
out food for the soldiers over there.
Recently at Loysville Orphans'
Home a new Cleveland tractor in the
hands of inexperienced operators,
plowed 65 acres in 13 days, tho best
day's work being 8 hours.
F. C. Bosler, of Carlisle, on his
farm, the tractor in the hands} of his
farmer, Mr. Wagner, harrowed and
lolled 32 acres of farm land in one
day, with 11 gallons of gasoline and
two quarts of oil.
W. L. Glatfelter, of Spring Grove,
York county, disced, pulverized and
rolled as much ground as Bosler did.
All three implements were hooked
back of the tractor at the same
time. Mr. Glatfelter has been towing
five tons of ground on two wagons
up a 25 pef cent, grade with his
Cleveland tractor when not using It
for plowing.

12,000 to 15,000 Students
in Officers' Training Camps
Washington, May 16. —The fourth
series of training camps for reserve
officers opened yesterday for a four
teen weeks' course, with an estimat
ed attendance of between 12,000
and 15,000 students. If the expec
tations of the officers in charge are
borne out, the latest camps will add
almost 10,000 names to the Army's
commissioned list, and will raise to
67,000 the total number of officers
obtained from this course.
Twenty-four camps were opened,
the attendance at each ranging from
600 to 1,200 men.
Disposition of the graduates from
the camps opened already has been
virtually settled. The three infantry
replacement camps will receive 2,-
000 each, the machine gun replace
ment camp, 1,000, and the field ar
tillery camp, 1,000. The tank corps,
cavalry and aviation will need more
than the number left after the va
cancies are filled.

Federal Trade Commission
Aims Blow at . "Buying
Business;" Consumer Pays
Washington, May 16.—Enactment
of "a sufficient law striking at the
unjustifiable and vicious practices of
commercial bribery," was urged on
Congress to-day by the Federal Trade
Commission. Each person participat
ing in any such tranaction should be
reached by a criminal statute in the
opinion of the commission, which re
counted that Investigation has re
vealed commercial bribery to be
general throughout many industries.
"It should be noted," says the
commission, "that the practice ap
pears to have been most general on i
the part of concerns in introducing I
the goods and wares to German
firms."
The commission's recommenda
tions said in part:
"These bribes take the form of
commissions for aHeged services, of
money and gratuities and entertain
ments of various sorts and of loans
—all intended to influence such em
ployes in the choice of materials.
"It is evident that this inexcusable
added cost is finally passed on to the
consumers. •
"In order to prevent a resort to
a common method of corruption, it
is recommended that the law should
also prohibit the giving of any such
gifts or other considerations to mem
bers of the agent's or employe's
family, or to any other person for
his use or benefit, direct or indi
rect."
