Mrs. j. ti. uowies, wire or rresiaeni juowies, was to be the sponsor. ' v'The War Archer la one of the original '"War" fleet for which contracts were granted the Northwest Steel company, but was commandeered by the govern ment along with the others. The com mandeering order not only included .ships under way, but contracts ajt well. " As In the case" of others, it is presumed that the name will be changed. "The Santlam. which is a good old - Oregon name of Indian origin, will leave the ways at the Columbia River Shlp- : building corporation at 2 o'clock. Mrs. James McKlnley, wife, of Superintend ent McKlnley, will be the sponsor.

The Pulitrer is a small craft but is seaworthy and has ample capacity for the purpose.

New XeeU to Be Laid . All of these yards now have received direct contracts for the construction of . steel ateamers for the government, and Marine Business Placed Here by Gov ernment In Week Totals $4,600,000. With the award during the week of contracts to the Alblna Engine & Ma chine works for four steel vessels and contracts for 24 Scotch marine boilers. sufficient for eight steamers of the 8800 ton class to the Willamette Iron & Steel works, Portland fared well at the hands of the government, for the contracts came direct from the United States Ship ping board. They represent approximately $4,600, 000. The contracts on tne steamers rep resent $4, 000,000 alone, while the boilers represent between $500,'000 and 3600,000. It Is said there Is good reason to be lieve that these two concerns will re ceive further similar contracts. - Work on the boilers Is to begin with out delay and they are to be delivered at the plant. Whether they are intended for vessels building here or at other Pa cific ports Is not known. The Willamette company, which Is said to be the largest boiler Works In the country, has been engaged In this kind of work for some time and has turned out the boilers for all the 8800 ton steamers outfitted here. It has the record of turning out nine such boilers each month. Many have heen shipped to other places along the coast and in some in stances shipments have been made to the orient. The Alblna company will start on Its contracts as soon as arrangements are made for the material. William Cornfoot, the president,' and Bert C. Ball, president fo the Willam ette company, recently returned from a trip to Washington, where they con ferred with officials of the shipping board and H was then that the matter of their companies furnishing vessels They were and equipment for the government was By Henry Howard rtiiector of Rccruitinc , V. k, 8btppln Board There seems to be apprehension In the. public mind that the shipping board is taking no measure to pro vide crewa for our new merchant ma rine, and lt seems to rest on a want of .information of what the shipping board has, actually done and, is doing to man the : nation's new merchant ehltr. The board through Its recruiting service, has iswuei several statements recently throusrh the press aa to. Its work In creating an adequate person net for the new merchant marine; but In the cressure of world news, these statements do not Beertt to have at tracted the attention that It appears to me they merit. , Furthermore, the effect of official statements in behalf of the merchant marine seems to have been offset In the publlo mind by recent persistent attacks upon the character of our mer chant seamen. The fact that for 2 years of nominal peace, but of actual war. before this country drew Its sword in the defense of democracy, our merchant sailors carried the flag back and forth across the Atlantic, In spite of the brutal piracy of the Get man - submarines, seems today to weigh for little In the public mind Huadreds Being Trained Surely such a situation might cause a smile at Potsdam. The great work for which the ship- Ding board's recruiting service was created, the building up of an all American personnel of officers and men for the new ships, has been going on since last June. It began with the training of officers at free schools In navigation and marine engineering at various ports on the Atlantic and Pa cific Coasts and the Great Lakes. At these schools about 600 men a term are being trained, the engineering term being one month and the navigation term about six weeks. On graduating, these students are sent to sea as re serve officers of the merchant marine for further training, preliminary to their being licensed aa mates or engt neers. . By this method enough Amerl can officers have been trtilned in the part six months to keep pace with the demand arising" from our Increased merchant- tonnage. We have navigation schools at Rock land and Portland, Maine ; at Cam bridge, Mass.; New York, Phlladel phla, Baltimore, Newport News and Norfolk, Jacksonville, Mobile, New Or San Plego. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Or, and T acorn a and Bellingham, vVasn, We have free engineering schools at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, Cambridge; at the Stevens In stltute Hoboken, at Philadelphia; at Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore at the Case School of ADDlied Science.
