FERRIS SHIP HOT PASS MUSTER Design Adopted by Govern ment Board Admitted to Be Purely Experiment. TESTS TO BE MADE SOON Success of Type and Assurance That Oregon Has Plenty of Timber Mean More Wooden Vessel Con tracts for Local Builders. ORKGO.VIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 1. There Is serious ques tion In the minds of Shipping Board of ficials as to the feasibility and desir ability of the Ferris ship, the standard type of wood ship adopted by the Ship ping Board, and until one of them can be given a thorough test, no more eon- tracts will be awarded for ships of that design. This is the latest explanation offered for suspension of the wood ship programme, and was given today by General Manager Pies, of the Shipping Board, to Senator McNary. .Mr. Pies pointed out that the Ferris wood ship is purely an experiment, not withstanding It waa adopted by the Denman-Goethal board as the stand ard wooden ship, several hundred of which are now under construction. The Ferrla design In some important re spects differs from othea wooden ships that have been tried out and proved In the past, and of late officials of the Shipping Board have begun to fear that this ship will not pass the tests to which It must be submitted. Just what Its supposed weaknesses are Mr. Pies did not explain, but he said th first of the Ferris type ships III be completed In 10 days or two weeks, when It Is Intended to subject t to rigid trial tests to determine its seaworthiness, and Its general suita bility and stability. Coast to tiet Contract. If. at th coming trial, the Ferris ship comes up to the claims made for t by Ita designer, and If In the mean- Ime the Shipping Board finds that It can procure an abunCunce of ship tim her In Oregon and Washington. Mr. ex intimated that further contracts will be awarded for more wooden ships on th 1'acifio Coast. In fact, he gsve he impression that more wood ahlp contracts will be placed on the Pacific 'oast, anyhow. If W. A. Shaw, in his report, shows that there is no scarcity of ship timber In Oregon. Should the rerria type of ship hav to be aban doned, the Shipping Board will turn to designs thst have been successful n the past. The failure of Mr. Shaw to report on h lumber resources of Oregon Is caus- ng the Shipping Board some annoy- nce. J. H. Blnedel, who was asked to nvestigate Washington timber re sources, submitted his report several ays ago and It Is understood he found plenty of timber In that state to justify xpansion of the wood shipbuilding In- ustry. A telegram Is belne sent 10 Mr. Shaw to expedite his report. Announcement waa made by the Shin ing Board today of the appointment of Charles D. Kennedy as Portland gent of the operating .department of he Shipping board. His duties will ot interfere with the duties of Mr. Wentworth. aa his jurisdiction will be over the operation of ships and not of hipyards. New Shipyard Projected. M. J. Tholme.'of Seattle, president of the Norway-Pacific Irydork & Con traction Company, is about to he (riven ritten authority by the Shipping Roard to establish a new shipyard at Seattle, on condition his corporation Im ports its skilled labor from Norway It proposes to do. The company I nt to build for the Shipping Board a his lime, but will finance its own op rations, the Shipping Board agreeing, I in writing, tnat it it commandeers any f the ships built at this yard. It will pay for them on a cost plus 10 per cent basis. The new yard will enter at once on the construction of 12 steel vessels, six of i:,00 tons each and six of 8800 Ions, and 10 wooden ships, of which six will be five-mast brigsntines. two tSoA-ton steamers, and two lmid-ton motorships. This is the first new ship building enterprise sanctioned on the Pacifio Coast In many months. JAPAN MAY GO IT ALONE Continued FVom First Pate.) Official Casualty List.

It is gathered here that the Japanese government holds that It does not re quire any warrant from the entente powers generally or America to em bark on a campaign in Siberia, al though It makes an exception In the case of Great Britain because of the close alliance between Japan and that country, expressly covering their Joint interests on the Asiatic mainland. Point of Coafldeare Raised. The point has been made by some of the allies during the negotiations that an Insistence by them on joining Japan In th proposed move would implv lark of confidence In the motives and ultimate deslgns'of the Japanese when It came to the final disposition of any occupied territory. . I-ord Heading, the British Ambassa dor, and Mr. Tanakl. the Japanese Charge, had conferences today sepa rately with Secretary Lansing. The Japanese government is understood to be relying upon Its ally by special treaty. Great Britain, to support any course Japan may adopt In Asia and to assist in framing such a definition of purposes aa she may feel Inclined to submit to the other allies and to Amer ica before taking: final action. Vologda Diplomatic Seat. In the meantime. Vologda, a city of 10.000 people. 375 miles east of Petro- grsd. apparently is to be American diplomatic headquarters in Russia un til the sttuaUmn in that countrv clears. The committee on public information was advised by Jts representatives In Petrograd today that Ambassador I-rands and his staff, the American Consulate, the military mission and the Red Cross representatives left the capi tal for Vologda February 27. No word from the. Ambassador has reached the State Department since his message saying he was preparing- to leave. LOXDOX. March 1. Japan's proposals with regard to Siberia and their recep tion In Washington have brought the question of Japan'a active participation In military operations to the forefront here. - The developments- dominate the news columns of the papers. A Reuter cablegram quoting, an As sociated Press dispatch from Wash ington Is given great prominence in ype and position by the morning news papers and is commented on extensive ly. Some papers display contributed articles setting forth the Japanese view of the situation. The bulk of the opinion favors Japan's proposed aclfbn without quali fication and tha plea Is made in some quarters . that she ought Impliclary to be trusted and given a free hand. The Times says that while the atti tude of President Wilson and the American 8tate Department does not seem to be officially defined as yet, "It is clear from the important Asso ciated Press statement that It would be a mistake to regard President Wilson's attitude aa decidedly averse to Japanese intervention." Wilson's OpInJoa Respected. "Whatever view the American Gov ernment may finally adopt," it adds. "it la certain to be received with the utmost deference by the allies. No doubt is felt in well-informed quarters that the position of the United States will be determined by the logic of the situatino and the single-hearted desire which President Wilson always has shown to further the best interests of the allies. . "The question is virtually one of ways and means and of deciding as rapidly as possible upon a policy best calculated to secure the end in view." The Morning Post says: "Just as the United States was forced to a policy of intervention by the Ger man menace in the west, so Japan is roused to activity by the German menace in the east. Japaa Held to Be Justified. "Japan Is entirely justified by the danger which threaters her in taking steps to protect her Interests in Man churia and Siberia. ... If she is wise she will seek to be the deliverer of Russia and to aim at freeing Rassia from the German yoke. "It is to be hoped the allies will treat Japan with confidence and the hearty spirit of co-operation which she has the right to expect as an ally. There should be no niggling and grudg ing assent. The Daily News Is not surprised by the widespread cry raised for Japanese action, but hopes the allies will con sider very carefully all that Is involved in her proposal. It contends that the intervention of Japan on terms of con quest would be a crime and that what ever is dons' must be with the intention of conserving Russia's interests. Japan's message to Washington shows that she takes the correct view." adds the Dally News. "American feel ing ia understood to be opposed to a Japanese landing, but this view is somewhat modified by the intimation that Joint action only is contemplated. That condition ought to govern any conslderation of the Idea." America's Hands Declared Fall. An article by a diplomatic corre spondent in the Dally Chronicle strong ly supports Japanese action. It says the logic of events is so forcible that It Is difficult to conceive of the allies failing to give the requisite invitation In regard to American participation the article says: "America has her hands full on the eastern front and any attempt to divert men. munitions or tonnage from that great objective is to be condemned. Moreover, any linking of America with Japan In this vast enterprise would be resented by Japan as a mark of dis trust in her ability and disinterested ness." Th Dally Mail In the course of a statement purporting to present the Japanese view says: "Every intelligent Japanese thinks the mandate for action should be based on the broad principles of trusting Japan and that she should not be handicapped by any entangling advance conditions "It Is believed that Japan's allies will reallxe the Impracticability of their co-operation In an enterprise of In calculable possibilities. One needs only to suggest the pressing shipping needs which America Is now trying to satisfy In respect to the European situation. There is also th question of .food. Japaa Drat Qualified. In respect . to both shipping and food, to say nothing of military man power, there does not seem to the Japanese mind serious possibility of any allied power doing anything in Russia against the German peril except Japan." Some of the newspapers back up their arguments for Japanese action by emphasizing the danger to British In terest in Asia from the threatened Ger manixation of Russia. The danger, they say. Is equal to It not greater man mat menacing Japan, and the powers recall the terms of the Anglo-Japanese alli ance by which Japan undertakes to safeguard peace and tranquallity in the Far East. THE STORE THAT UNDERSELLS BECAUSE IT SELLS FOR CASH S A Complete New Stock of Rengo Belt Reducin CORSET: Correct fashion lines may be achieved by stout and medium figures, without selecting sizes smaller than the figure demands, if Rengo Belt Corsets are worn.

All Rengo Belt models have the strength to hold and mould the figure absolutely to their designed lines they will not break or bulge under the most severe strain that the very stoutest figure may put upon them. For that reason the size your figure demands will satisfy you absolutely and you will not suffer the discomfort of attempting to force the figure, as is usual when medium and stout women wear ordinary corsets. There are models for all figures some with "steelastic" webbing where extra freedom is desired and all are boned with double watch-spring steels. $2.50 and $3.50 Pair m a n a a BUILDING SALE REPORTED Abraham Colin Said to Have Bought Lumbermen's Strut-lure.
