will be forthcoming of new yards to
be established, likewise the organiza
tion of lumber manufacturrs to work

Shipping Board, will be brought out at
a meeting of all interested this after

lineup of ship carpenters and helpers
who can be depended on.
This afternoon's gathering Is to in

the Government work have planned
how they may expand and only await
the final word before ordering the facil
ities provided.
The matter of new sites has been
delved into and the assumption that
the Government will exert powerful in
fluence with machine factories, to rush
saws and power tools without delay,
will make preparations easier. The
machinery item is no small one and
under present conditions the time of
delivery from Eastern concerns is de
cidedly dubious.
As standardization will be adhered
to, all vessels being alike in dimension
model and general plan, also the ma
chinery and appurtenances being iden
tical, the greatest speed will be pos
sible in completing them. Mobilization
will be outlined so they may be started
promptly, once the preliminaries are
disposed of.
Mill men are ready to deliver materi
al as rapidly as desired, though to some
individual plants may be alloted the
task of getting out special lengths and
dimension stuff, but in the main all will
be expected to do their share that a big
fleet may be made available with
which to combat the Kaiser's subma
rine campaign.

The food shortage, labor outbreaks
and the circulation of what was charac
terized by the government as a "sedi

uspension of constitutional guarantees
n Spain on March 29.
Meanwhile the ministry of Premier
Romanones had other complications to
cope with In the situation caused by
the entry of the United States into the
war. That some of the Latin-American
republics would take similar action
was a probability. The torpedoing of
the Spanish steamer San ivulgenclo.
which was followed by a strong protest
to Germany, rendered the situation still
more tense.
A government statement on April 16
declared that Spain could not abandon
neutrality without the consent of the
Cortes and the crown, and that the
Cabinet then in power supplied the
firmest guarantee of neutrality. Since
then the sinking of another Spanish
steamer, the Tom, has added to the
gravity of conditions.
