Shipyard Workers Douse
3 Kaiser With Unprecedented
Launching in 76 Yards.
WASHINGTON, July 5. America's j merchant fleet, grown to 10,040,659 gross tons by the construction of 1,622 new ships of 1,430,793 tons in the Ascal year ended June 30, was augmenti ed today by the unprecedented launch
ing of nearly 100 ship3. The feat of the loyal arm? of workmen which made the launchings possible received due recognition from the highest officials directing the war activities of the nation. "We are all comrades in a great cause," declared President Wilson la a message read today as part of the launching ceremonies . in seventy-six nhip yards. From Gen. Pershing came the thanks of the American fighting men in Europe, for the support of which the launchings are substantial evidence. "With such backing we can not fail to win," asserted the commander of the United States army in France. Chairman Hurley, chief of the men directing the shipbuilding work, did not stint his praise for men actually building the ships, in expressing the appreciation of the shipping board for the work accomplished. All Awash, Sir! "Vnnr emnloves will douse the
? Kaiser," he said In a telegram to the
yard management. Secretary of Commerce Redfleld went in person to two yards in the Philadelphia district to tako part in the launching ceremonies. Director General Schwab and Vice-President Piez of the emergency fleet corporation were guests of honor in San Francisco, where the Scvhwab plant recaptured the laurels taken by an Eastern yard with the Tucahoe, by launching a 12,00C-ton steel vessel in less than forty working days. The vast program of launchings in which shipyards from Bath. Me., to Tampa, Fla., ard from Tacoma, Wash., to Los Angeles, Cal., took part, was started at one minute after midnight, when, at Superior, Wis., the Lake Aurice, a steel vessel of 3.400 tons, slid down the ways. ' Original estimates listed ninety-five ships as likely to take the water today, but as Mr.. Hurley apd Mr. Schwab were insistent that no vessel should be held back, several went down the ways ahead of time. Others not Included in the list were speeded up by the eagerness of workmen to make the "splash" the greatest in the world's history starting a ripple that will be a tidal wave before it reaches Germany. Good Cheer for AMies. Announcement by the bureau of navigation that the merchant tonnage flying the Stars and Stripes has passed the 10,000,000 mark started the way with a thrill for Americans and good cheer for the allies. The total does not include the 200,000 tons of requisitioned Dutch ships, 404,700 tons of hospital ships, transports and other auxiliary craft operated by the army
and navy, and smaller craft under 500 tons employed in considerable num- " bers in military and naval service. The fiscal years' output was the greatest in the nation's history.
$60,000 a Month Spent
to Satisfy "Sweet Tooth
of Great Lakes Jackies GREAT LAKES, 111.. July 6. Sixty thousand dollars is spent every month to satisfy the "sweet tooth" of Jackies at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, according to the Great Lakes Bull-tin, official paper of the station. Fifty thousand candy bars, 20,000 chocolate bars, 3,000 boxes of candy and 10,000 packages of ' sugar-coated popcorn are consumed each week, in addition to 15,000 ' packages of cakes and cookies, the paper says. "During the months of April, May and June, according to Assistant Paymaster James D. Boyle, who is in charge of the eleven stores, the men consumed $175,000, worth of candy," says the bulletin. "Besides these tidbits, the pay envelopes are considerably thinned by purchases of tobacco In various forms. Between May 22 arid June 12, Just 2,040,000 cigarettes from ship's stores went up in smoke." Twenty thousand cigars and 14,400 packages of tobacco also are sold weekly, the paper adds.
Another thing we always have been grateful for is that freckles don't Itch.

ARMY REGISTRATION ORDERED IN RUSSIA
(By Associated Prss.) MOSCOW, June 28 The internal situation of the Russian Soviet republic is such that only a powerful army on the basis of obligatory service can nmtPft it in the opinion of Leon
Trotzky, commissioner of war and , marine. He has submitted a report j advocating Universal military ser-j vice for the Bourgeois as well as the workmen and peasants and hopes that the fifth congress of Soviets will pass j such a measure. Premier Lenine has approved the report and the details are being worked out. In the meantime, Trotzky has ordered the registration of all males be- i tween the ages of 19 and 40 and the enlistment simultaneously with thej workmen of the Bourgeois classes born in 1896 and 1897. The Bourgeois classes will be formed into non-fighting units to dig trenches and clean i barracks and camps. Later they may J be promoted to service in the ranks j after they have proved "by deeds their ; loyalty to the laboring class and thei poor peasantry." j GREAT LAKES FLEET TO TOUR i
