There Is v prevalent Impression that nearly all the shipbuilding In he country la concentrated in the east. If the lk of ships launched on the Fourth la at all representative, the west aeast be credited with Indisputable supremacy. Of S3 ships floated on tbe Fourth, who find that SI were produced by astern yards, 15 by Gulf yard, 11 y Great Lake yarda and 43 by Pa cific coast yards. Those - western stripe were not small ones, either. Tkey averaged larger than those of tier sections. In actual tonnage, ' the Pacific wards beat the Atlantic yards two to sum. Moreover, the western coast won tbe atate records. California produced the largest number of steel ships, and Washington the largest xassber of wooden ships, with Ore gon close second for wooden ships svnd Washington second with steel ships. ' This showing does not necessarily indicate the relative production of the various states and sections right along. The east may have, actually or in prospect, greater shipbuilding capacity than tbe west. But every' body will agree that the achieve ments of the west so far have been nothing less than marvellous. It has got the Jump on tbe east. Will the east catch np? ' ENCLAND'3 FOOD TRIUMPH With more than 200,000 fewer male laborers on the land today than In the year before the war, the peo ple of tbe British Isles have increas ed the tillage area by 4,000,000 acres. In England and Wales alone. It Is estimated that more than 2,500, 000 acres of grass land have been broken up and turned Into flourish ing fields of oats, barley, corn, wheat and potatoes.. Using the potatoes and grain rais ed this year, for bread flour, the United Kingdom, It is said, could supply Its entire population -with breadstuff for 40 weeks at the pres ent rate of consumption. That is said to be three or four times the usual production. These crops do not include the large amount of food added to the total supply by garden of less than aa acre In size. These small gardens have added an esti mated 800,000 toss of food to tbe total production, By these tremendous efforts to raise much of her necewary food.' Great Britain has saved tonnage for other purposes. The net savings In ship tonnage effected by Increased food production in England and Wales Is expected o amount to a million and a half tons by the end of tbe year. In other words, the British Isles hare been fighting the submarine on their farms aa welt as uoa the sea, with marked success. Are we determined to do aa welt with our many acres as the United Kingdom has done with her comparatively few? SOLDIER LETTERS Sure, German boundaries are go ing to be "drawn by history," as von Kuehlmann said. And we're going to write the history.

DON'T MISS IT 1 Will Start Tomorrow Somewhere In Franco. lHar Mother: i This day finds mo In better health than I've been in for three months, though I didn't hare much to com plain of then. The weather has been getting better tbe last weok and I guess that has bevn the bet help. Today bus been one of the most pleasant we've had for quite a while. The French people always observe Sunday and go promenading, and it seems as though everybody turns out. As I ride down town every morn ing to work I can see a difference In things every time. When I first came here everything waa dead and gloomy, but now everything Is green and it Is real pretty. I never saw a place change so much in all my life. This place la now one great, green park. I'm working every day although the last few days have dragged as I've nothing to do except stick around the warehouse where I'm at work and take charge until the cor poral gets through shipping sugar and flour from another warehouse, but tomorrow will be a busy day as there Is plenty of work tbat came In this afternoon. I had a gang of 20 negroes there this morning and I guess I will have them every day now. They work good, and do every thing wrong. For some reason they never get the Idea of how things are to be done till a fellow gets mad, then they grumble but work Just tbe same. ' I met a Los Angeles boy when I was at the Y. M. C. A. last night. He enlisted in the Canadian army and has five service chevrons. He went through tbe battle of Vlmy Ridge where Willie was wounded. He Is but 19 years old now and 'has served in the army 30 months. He was caught by mustard and ' garlic gas In two battles after the one at Vlmy Ridge and has been In tbe hospital ever since September, 1916, suffering from shell shock and gas. He enlisted in the United 8tate army while In a hospital In London and is going back home In four days, In fact he will be In the United States when you receive this letter. He says the Short fellow has the best chance with the bayonet and that is all he ever used, he has never shot a Fritz yet. All his victims died by the bayonet. He only has 30 to his i credit and has for a souvenir a crown of a gold tooth taken from a Bouhe. He says that when he left the front there were none of the great big strapping German fighters left, and that in their places were old men and boys, and when he was in a charge and got to the point of ac tually hitting one of them, he could I not get over the thought of them be- ing only boys. I have seen Borne of tbe late prisoners and they are -only boys and over-aged men, with some real men. You ought to have iseen the look on their faces when I they got some real honest-to-Ood Am 'erlcan bread that was when the AT T1IK MOYIKH "My Four Years In Germany" a plrturlzatlon of Amlmtuwdor Ger ard's book of the same name, arter meeting with tremendous approval throughout the tuist.

It is a perfect reproduction of scenes of great Import thnt were staged In Ilcrlln and In the war tone after and even before the Germans had declared war by Ambnmiador Gerard and which have been describ ed 'by him in his famous book, "My Four Years In Germany.'

The suspi cion that Germany has annexed the Russian navy, which would Improve the strength of the German navy 25 per cent greater than the American navy. Is causing considerable uneasi ness at the navy department. This disclosure today Illuminates vividly the cost or the Russian fiasco to the United States and its allies and the possibilities of German ag grandizement at the expense of Rus sia, the realisation of which the filan of allied Intervention Is designed to arrest.
