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.

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.

Correct fashion lines may be achieved by stout and medium figures, without selecting

lines. 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.
