.
Shipping Board Operates Mer
chant Fleet on Schedule
as Rigorous as That of
the Railroads.
Washington. Aug. 17. Every six
minutes a merchant vessel arrives
and another departs from American
ports. From North Atlantic seaports,
there is a departure every 11 min
utes,: and one for Europe every 40
minutes. This rate of operation does
not include vessels in the service of
the army or navy.
The merchant fleet of 1,500 ships
under the control of the shipping
board are run as railroads on a time
schedule. The duty of measuring
ships' performances with their tasks
is lodged with the planning and sta
tistics division of the shipping board,
headed by E. H. Gay, formerly dean
of the Harvard Graduate School of
Business. -
Obviously, the division must know
the tasks in detail, and so it co-ordinates
with the war industries and war
boards in determining and providing
for th? country's needs from abroad

ules or as far in advance as it is fea
sible or possible to forecast.
In planning the use of ships, the
division works with the food admin
istration in determining the shipping
icquirements for food; with the War
department in correlating shipping
with the requirements of the line of
supplies to the western front; with
the war industries board in seeking
solution of the problem of bringing
necessary raw imports into the Coun
try, and with the war trade board in
preparing the lists, of essential im
ports and exports.
As the'eountry has gone more and
more on a war basis, it has been re
garded necessary to limit the list of
essential imports to less than 100.
Pata on the ships and their trade
provide the basis for operation of
the vessels under the shipping board's
control. Likewise, records are kept
of neutral vessels coming to this coun
try or linking up with its foreign
tradl. Thus the division checks daily
about 7,000 vessels, 1,500 of them be
ing those of the shipping board; 3,000
engaged directly in American com
merce and 2,500 scattered over the
globe and trading for the most part
with the allies or their colonies.
Roughly, one-fourth of the merchant
ships of the world are watched by
the shipping board.
Ships Must Make Good,
Ship performances against tasks
are recorded by "progress charts,"
which show at a glance what the ves
sels have to do and how they are
doing it. Each' set of charts is divid
ed into 10 divisions one each for
movements of vessels, turn-arounds,
ships charts of commodities, individ

imports, individual trades, summary

of trades, ship charts of exports, per
formances in ports and dock perform
ances. Copies are distributed every
10 days to governments which re
quire constant information about the
movement of supplies.
By these movement charts, all in
formation regarding locations and
movements of vessels is accessible,
and from past records one may fore
cast the time of future voyages.
The summary on shipping and
trade, prepared every 10 days for the
war industries and war trade boards
and the food administration, helps
shape the larger policies underlying
the use of American ships in, war
time. The charts tell whether the
ships allotted to a certain trade are
enough, too many or too few;
whether they bring" in too little, or
too much; whether they are on time;
ahead of time or behind time, md
whether the trade movement is too
slow, too fast or just right. The
charts also serve to guide the ship
control committee in the assignment
of vessels to various trades. By com
paring import requirements against
deliveries, the charts showwhen ves
sels may be transferred 'from one
trade to another or released to the
army.

To the Voters of Douglas County
The question has been asked how I stand on
law enforcement. This is a fair question and de
mands a square answer.
. I stand for the enforcement of all the laws of
the land, including the order of the government to
"WORK OR FIGHT."
There is no room in this country today for the
BOOTLEGGER, THIEF, PROFITEER, GRAFTER,
BUM OR SLACKER. They are all our country's
enemies and must go.
I stand for efficiency and economy in the
handling of the county's business. This is no time
for extravagance and waste. Every dollar and
man must count in order to win the war.
If elected your County Attorney, I shall en
deavor to conduct the office so as to merit your
commendation. If you believe in these things I
shall be pleased to serve you as your County Attorney.

They all look alike to Mike. He plays no favorites.
That is why the Court House Gang would like to see
him turned down. Don't let them.
He put the Lid on disreputable Road Houses and made
