101 Completed and Turned Over to
Operatinq Division. 94 of Which
. Are In Active Service Prove Sea
worthy, Making Trips Across Both
Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.Th8
resignation of James Ormorod Hey-
worth, of Chicago, managor of the
wood ship division. United States
shipping board. Emergency Fleet
corporation. Is announced. Mr. Hey-
worth withdrew from tho Bervire, of
the corporation for the reason that
he Is no longer able to disregard the
demands of his private business as
engineering contractor.
Before relinquishing his post Mr.
Heyworth issued the following state
ment. In this the work of the wood
ship division Is for the first time de
scribed by tho retiring head of that
Important organization. The state
ment follows:
101 Wood Ships Built
"Wooden ships to the number of
101 have been completed up to De
cember' 1st. and have been turned
over to the operating division of the
United States shipping board. Of
these, 94 aro in active servh-e, carry
ing cargo or moving in ballast from
one port to another, and facts are
now at hand concerning the move
ment of So of these vessels. They
have made In all 305 voyages, cover
ing a total of 490,422 statute miles.
The record shows that 194 of these
voyages were with cargo, represent
ing a freight movement of approxim
ately 4SS,000 tons, a total mileage of
391,092 statute miles.
"They traveled from San Francisco
to Manila, a distance of S560 miles
from west coast ports to Africa and
Antofagasta, Chile, a maximum-distance
of 6300 miles; from Antofa
gasta to gulf and Atlantic ports, a
maximum distance of 4500 miles;
from gulf ports to north Atlantic
ports; from middle Atlantic ports to
Halifax, Bermuda and tho Virgin
Islands; from middle Atlantic ports
to New England; from San Francisco
to Honolulu; from San Francisco to
Portland, Seattle. They have per-1
formed a. particularly valuable ser
vice in runs -between San Francisco.
Seattle and Honolulu, carrying, out
ward bound, a full cargo of coal, and,
homeward bound, a cargo of sugar,
pineapples or canned goods.
Miscellaneous Cargoes '
"Flour, canned goods. Red Cross'
supplies and general cargo have been;
carried from the west coast to New
York for trans-shipment to the war
zone for use by our armed forces, or
for the relief of the distressed peo
ples of Europe. The vessels of the
wooden fleet have carried cement to
Chile, and have returned with that
essential war and agricultural neces
sity, nitrates. Wooden vessels have
carried sulphur from Texas, coal to
New England and to our naval forces.
They have carried raw sugar from
the cane fields of Honolulu to the
refineries in San Francisco. This
movement of cargo has been accom-
pllshed with substantially no loss to
me shippers. It has been demon
strated that the vessels of the wood
en fleet have rendered valuable ser
vice In both coastwise and trans
oceanic runs.
AVood Ship Construction
It Is true that expectations of
wood ship construction were not met.
and that the hopes of the proponents
of wooden ships as to speed of con
struction were overly sanguine; nev
ertheless measured by performance
which includes vessels under way as
well as vessels delivered, the entire
wood ship building program has
shown an efficiency of over 72 per
cent. Many causes contributed to
these disappointments, but the fact
remains that had the war continued
the wooden ships would have consti
tuted a vital and an essential part of
our coastwise or overseas transporta
tion system. It was not Intended that
they should be put Into war-zone ser
vice, excepting war extreme emer
gency, but they served their purpose
by releasing from essential trades in
the Pacific, in the West Indies and
South America, vessels that could
meet the speed and carrying require
ments that war zone conditions Im
posed. :.''.-. '
Reason of Opposition
"Such opposition as has arisen
among operating shippers-to the
wood ships is based not so much
upon the material of which it Is con
structed as It is upon its size, and
consequently, small carrying capac
ity. : Too much space must be given
up to coal when these vessels are
usod on long Journeys, and they are.
therefore, unsuitable in a competitive
markot for such trades, however, by
the use pf fuel oil. Instead of coal,
the steaming radius and efficiency of
these vessels cart be greatly Increaaed
and pluns to this end are no'w being
worked out. But for the shorter
runs or coastwise traffic, for service
in the Mediterranean and the Baltic,
wooden ships Bhould continue to
servo a useful and profitable purpose
as long as a ship shortage, growing
out of the ravages of the submarine,
continues. -

hand concerning the staunchness and
sea-worthiness of those vessels; evi
dence that is sufficient in volume
and character to emphatically dis
prove any rumors of general failure
of this type of ship."
PEACE ENVOYS BUSY.

neutral countries to adjacent enemy
countries.
This problem, howtver, is compli
cated bv the uuestion of uossiblo coni-
Detitiiui between neutrals and the
handicapped entente belligerents be
fore the latter nre completely re-
tored to their ante bcUuni etticienev.
PAUIS. Jan. 1. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The peace confer
ence now 1ms the Russian situation
under continued - examination, while
plans for the Lenmie of Nations nre
beinz fast brounlit into shape and
were expected to be taken under eeu-
eral discussion for the first time when
the supreme council of the conterence
reassembled todnv. The latest in
formation available was that all the
associated srovernmcnts were prepar
ed for presentation of their memo
randum on the Rusian situation.
President Wilson had in hand tins
niorninjr the memoranda on me sno-
iect prepared bv the American mis
sion.
The council was ready to .hcar
when it assembled today the state
ment on the Russian situation which
Harold Scnvcnius. Danish minister to
Russia was prepared to make. His
views on conditions in Russia fol
lowed those presented yesterday .bv

Russia.

mission to tne conierence oi oeieuuics
from the Omsk government in Russia,
which he represents.
In the eenerul informal discussion
outside the pence conference the two
considerations given first place are
believed to be whether to attempt to
establish a Quarantine around Bol
shevik Russia tlirouah giving assist
ance in the setting up of governments
in the independent states surround
ing the Maximalist territory, or
whether to attempt to relieve, condi
tions iu European Russia, which re
lief njnnv statesmen believe would re
move the cause of Bolshevism. The
third consideration is the question of
extending armed aid to the forces
within Russia which arc openly fight
ing Bolshevism in the field, -x
Armed Aid I'nlikely
Of all the courses suggested it
would appear that the lust mentioned
is the least favored, certainly bv the
United States, and it seems also that
the first named is attracting much
support. The recent agreement of the
factions in- Poland is looked upon bv
some observers as a step in this di
rection, the assumption being that it
was taken in the belief by Poland that
the associated governments might
consider the sending of some armed
forces in the plan for building a wall
around Russian Bolshevism so as to
cut it off from western Europe.
The food situation iiuGcrnianv also
is being kept under close scrutiny in
the sniiie conection. The latest re
ports available support the view of
Herbert C. Hoover that in the Rhine
land there are food reserves suffi
cient to lust the people until March,
but that the supplies in other parts
of the country are smaller.
