Raze 400 English Towns
By Plane, New German Move
Amsterdam, March 13, The destruction of 400 English towns by Ger
msn airplanes is demanded by the Berlin Tages Zeitung "as 'a reprisal"
for the action of the allies in confiscating 400 German merchant ships. In
a long article on the subject the paper says:
"If we are in a position to destroy the whole of London, it would be
more humane to do so than to allow one more German to bleed to death
on the battlefield. To hesitate, or to surrender ourselves to feelings of
pity, would be unpardonable.'
"More than 400 merchant ships have been stolen from us by Great
Britain. Our answer should be that for every German ship at least one
English town should be reduced to ruins by our airmen. Far better were
it for us that Great Britain, France and the United States should call us
barbarians than that they should bestow on us their pity when we are
Beaten. Softness and sentimentality are stupid in wartime."
BOARD URGES SPEED
WOODENSHIP WORK
Bars Are Lowered on Grade of
Lumber to Eliminate Long
Distance Hauls From
Pacific.
Washington, March 13. Renewed
efforts to hasten the wooden ship
building program were launched to
day by the Shipping board. After an
announcement that authority had been
given to southern yards to use smaller
timbers in ship frames, thereby obvi
ating the necessity for bringing large
timbers from the Pacific coast, a cir
cular letter to all wooden ship build
ers was made publij by James O. Hey
worth, manager of the division of
wooden ship construction, in which
he called for new methods of building
by which more men can be employed
simultaneously each ship.
"This is no time to work on the old
basis for wooden ship construction,"
the letter said. "The country need
ships more than anything else We
rr.ut have them. Production must be
speeded up. Real co-operation between
the ship builders of each district can
double our production in the next six
months."
Make New Surveys.
Surveys of the timber resources
available for ship building are being
made on the Pacific coast and will
be commenced in the south at once
by John H. Kirby of Houston, Tex.
Through these inquiries the Shipping
board expects to eliminate the delays
due to inaccurate estimates by lum
bermen-of what they can produce
The order permitting the tue of
smaller timbers foilows urgent pro
tests from southern cine growers,
who have contended that thev have
pienty oi lumoer oi sumcieni size ana
that the board's insistence uponUhe
big timbers required by the original
specifications for the Ferris type was
unnecessarily holding up the building
program. -
