240,000 TONS OF NEW SHIPPING, APRIL RECORD

Average of 9,000 Daily Beats Other Months Will Continue.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 1. A total output of 240,000 tons ot new shipping for the month of April was reported to the shipping board today by Commis-t-ioner of Navigation Chamberlain. Two-thirds of the tonnage was conKtructrd In the last half of the month. At that rate the output for the year would approach 3.000.000 tons, but shipping board officials are looking forward to much higher monthly totals as building gets under way. The best previous month's construction was in June of last year, when 228,134 tons were built. Tho total in March was 100,700 tons. The shipping board's own figures on April construction will not be announced until complete reports have been received from all shipyards. Those from I'acifie coast yards may not be at hand before the middle of next week. "To the lay mind unaccustomed to shipbuilding figures," said a statement by the board making public Mr. Chamberlain's report, "this total of 240.000 tons may not seem very impressive. Hut it means that during the twentysix working days in the month there vas turned out an average of 9,000 tons of ship construction a day."

Hindenburg Is Spending Thousands of Men to Wipe Out Ypres Salient

v'l.l,'! ".'i.v:.,: ... v-. - ;...?" ...a.'.' " .".:h!A!?!!!!!v!!?.

Map showing present battle line and the ruined Cloth Hall of Ypres. Hindenburg seems willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of his best troops to take Ypres, which probably means that the British will eventually withdraw from this ruined city. The town is surrounded on three sides, and the possession of Mount Kemmel gives the German guns command of the railroad that leads from Ypres to Calais. Mount Kemmel was held by French troops, al lof whom were sacrificed to stem the German tidal waves which beat against it. Mount Rouge and Mount Des Cats, just west of Mount Wemmel, are still held by the French, who will not again make the mistake of having insufficient forces to hold back the German aordes. The evacuation of Ypres by the British would probably mean also the loss of Nieuport. Neither city has yet been in German hands. If they capture these, the Germans will make an attempt at Calais, the loss of which would be a distinct blow, though by no means a fatal one, to Britain. Ostend and Zeebrugge, famous German submarine bases, which it is believed were recently put out of commission by the British fleet. Should the Germans take the French ports of Calais and Dunkirk they would probably turn them into submarine bases. Calais is only twenty-one miles from the British coast.

HARRY B. MAGY IS SILO LEADER

Harry B. Macy of Hagerstown, has been appointed silo leader for Wayne county. The work of Mr. Macy will be done in co-operation with the Better Farming Association, County Agent, Food Committee, and the County Council of Defense. The need for silo in Indiana was never so great as at the present time. Last year more than 6,000 silos were erected in the state. The nation's need for more economical use of livestock feeds demands that Indiana erect n,ot less than 10,000 silos in 1918.

Many of the tanks used by tha

British armies are manufactured by women.

Michigan Experiences Its First "Bone-Dry" Day (By Associated Press) DETROIT, May 1. Michigan today was experiencing its first day as a "bone dry" state, the amendment to the state constitution providing for prohibition having become effective at midnight last night. Many of the 3,285 saloons affected by the law, remained open today, but their business was confined to the serving of lunches and the dispensing of what is advertised as "temperance beer." This was particularly true in the case of downtown saloons in the cities and larger villages. The manufacture of beer in the 62 breweries of- the state was discontinued some time ago, many of them turning to the production of soft drinks, while others were converted into ice factories. Close watch was being7 kept today on the number of physicians' prescriptions for liquor presented at drug stores. Under the law, a maximum amount of spirituous liquor any person may purchase is eight oiuices, provided a prescription signed by a physician is presented at the time. To legally carry that amount of intoxicating liquor on the person, the bearer must be able to prove that it was purchased with a prescription.
