GERMANY BEGINS REBUILDING OF

MERCHANT FLEET Initial Program for Peace War Calls for 950,000 Tons Less Than Pre-War Total WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. Germany has begun the rebuilding of ber merchant marine. A pamphlet published in Hamburg and received by officials here indicate that the Initial program calls for 950,000 tons of shipping. Included in this program are several large liners, up to 56,000 tons, intended to replace the large vessels which Germany lost when the United States entered the war. German tonnage on January 1, 1914, was slightly less than 5,500,000. Losses so far amount to 800 vessels of about 2.900,000 tons. This Is more than half of Germany's merchant fleet. There are still a number ol German vessels in nuetrai ports, the disposition of which In a manner favorable to Germany is still uncertain, and it is not unlikely that Germany will approach peace negotiations with something less than two fifths of the splendid mercantile armada which she possessed In 1914. To restore her merchant marine to the pre-war total, the program disclosed by the Hamburg pamphlet must be trebled. This necessity has resulted in the passage of acts by the relchstag designed to rehabiliate the German marine. The details of these laws are not known here, however. She must enter upon peace with less tonnage than she had when Kaiser Wllhelm went to war. Not only will Germany have less shipping facilities, but she must compete with a new American marine.

ORDER CONCERNING SUGAR PERMIT CARDS

Food Administrator Gilbert Issued the following Wednesday: The sugar canning permit cards cannot be used in exchange for sugar unless they are brought to the County Food Administrator's offipe every Monday morning and at the same time certify to the number of cards they had received for the sale of sugar for preserving purposes, giving the total number of pounds and that they have had no previous credit for such permit cards. . This order takes effect immediately. Some farmers are laboring under the wrong impression as to the flour to which they are entitled at the time they sell their wheat. For instance, when a farmer delivers his wheat to a mill he is entitled to an exchange of Wheat for flour, eight pounds per capita to run him until October 1 and having made that exchange he is not then entitled to go to the grocery store and buy flour together with substitutes on a basis of 50-50. He has acquired all the Jour he is entitled to when he sold his wheat and made the exchange.
