S. Should Keep Busy, Messrs. Hurley and Schwab Say. Every shipyard capable of deliver ing: the goods will have all the work it can do for years to come. Chair man Hurley of the United States Shipping Board and Director General Schwab of the Emergency Fleet Cor poration said yesterday. The officers raid the efforts of the shipbuilders would not be limited by the necessi ties of the war. Mr. Hurley said the end of the war, whether It comes now or at a later, date, would not bring: to an end the world's need for ships. Only One-Sixth So Far Produced. The present program, he said, calls for the construction of 15,000,000 tons, and bo far only one-sixth of that has been produced. This means, to complete the program, providing Congress consents to pay the bits, 12,500.000 tons must be added to the American merchant marine. Mr. Hur ley in his statement said: "We will look to the west coast to continue the pace it has maintained, and to the yards of the east and south and in the great lakes region to increase their output. "Every competent shipworker, every technical expert and every trained ex. ecutive in the yards owes it to the na tion to remain at his post where his services will count most until our ship construction program is complet ed. There is no ground for uneasi ness of either labor or capital now efficiently employed in producing ships. For many years to come ships, their construction and operation, are to be of absorbing national interest." Must Keep on Building Ships. Mr. Schwab in his statement said: "Until peace is concluded and until all of our boys have returned to America, it is vital that we keep on building ships with every ounce of our strength and energy. After that we can consider the future. But to permit enthusiasm to lag now might be fatal to our great cause. Ship building, from the very start of the war, has been the essential work that would make victory possible. That is as true today as it was a year ago, and will continue to be so until the last battle is fought, and we are ready to lay down our arms, the vic tor in this war." MEN IN FRONT LINES GET ARMISTICE NEWS Propaganda Officers, Both Ameri can and Oerman, "Dse Aviators to Distribute Notes. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, October 31 (by the Associated Press).?The men in the most advanced positions on both sides of the lines are reading the news developments regarding-an arm istice almost as early as those to whom the dally papers are available. Propaganda officers, both American and German, are using aviators to dis tribute the notes which have passed between Berlin and Vienna and Wash ington. and tonight preparations were made to disseminate the news of Tur key's downfall. Arthur . te and Walter Llppmann are conducting the propaganda from the headquarters in Paris, and the de tails are being carried out by a big force, with which are co-operating the personnel stafT and flying corps. President Wilson's note to Austria was circulated by the Americans among the Austrian troops within a few hours after it was delivered Prisoners who were brought in a little later had copies in thflr possession. The document had been printed within range of the enemy's guns and carried over by aviators.

TO UTILIZE IDLE CONVICTS. West Virginia Likely to Be First to Put Them on War Work. CHARLESTON, W. Va., November 1. ?It Is likely that West Virginia will be one of the first states to utilize her idle convicts on essential war labor. Announcement has been made by Charles M. Browne, labor supervisor for the railroad administration, that male prisoners in Moundsville state penitentiary probably will be put on track and other construction work be ing done by and for the government, permission to take convicts from their cells for this purpose having been granted by the state board of public works. There has been much agitation fa vorable to putting convicted prisoners on work which is lagging because of insnfficient men to perform it.

College Park Squad Leaves Here Today for Lexington. Gallaudet vs. St. John's. Maryland State's S. A. T. C. foot ball team Is scheduled to leave here this afternoon for Lexington, Va., where it is to meet the Virginia Military In. stitute eleven tomorrow. The con test was hurriedly arranged and takes the place of the one that was expected to be played with Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Nineteen play ers of the forty out for the State team will make the trip. Tomorrow's contest will be the third in which the Marylanders and Vir ginians have met. In 1916 the teams hooked up in a great game at Col lege Park, State winning by 15 to 9. Last season the State eleven went to Lexington and the meeting then re sulted in a tie?14 to 14. It was rather a remarkable tie, too, as V. M. I. scored the points which evened up things in a rather remarkable way. With the count 7 to 7, State made a touchdown and kicked goal when only thirty seconds of the last quar ter were left to play. When it kick ed oft, Leech, V. M. I. _ quarterback, caught the ball and ran it back for a touchdown and then kicked the goal. That was just about as spec tacular a play as one could ever hope to see on a gridiron. Tomorrow, to take the place of the game canceled by the Philadelphia Marines, the Navy has listed a con test with the St. Helena Training Camp eleven of Norfolk. It is report ed that the Norfolk aggregation has in its fine-up several former college stars, but judging from what hap pened at Annapolis last week in con nection with the Newport eleven it would seem that the Norfolk men had better come prepared to take a good beating. Jack Eller engages in T. M. C. A. work in France and probably draws about half the pay that he would had he kept his regular job. For his al truism the Amateur Athletic Union declares him a professional. After this war is over the hundreds of thou sands of men who have been used to competing against one another, no matter what their past status as pro fessionals or amateurs, are going to have something to say about the A. A. U. and its dominance in track and field sports. Final arrangements have been com pleted for the game November 23 be tween Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. Georgians wanted the contest to take place on a neutral Held, but agreed to meet Warner's aggregation at Pitts burg, at Forbes field. The contest should be one of the biggest drawing cards of the year. Frank Gargan. former Fordham quarterback and Georgetown and Fordham coach, is coaching an eleven in France, located at Paris. He is a lieutenant in the Fordham ambulance unit. Gallaudet's foot ball team goes to Annapolis tomorrow to meet the St. John's eleven. The Kendall Greeners are said to be exceptionally strong, with a fast heavy line and a very ca pable backfleld. Deer is the star of the quartet behind the line, the big fellow having proved himself even more capable than in 1917, when ha showed ability enough to plough through almost every line he faced. CAMP COLT CANCELS. Unable to Meet Georgetown Eleven Tomorrow?Substitute Sought. The Camp Colt foot ball team has canceled the game scheduled for to morrow with Georgetown, owing to "military reasons," according to^ a telegram received at the university from Camp Colt, at Gettysburg, Pa., this morning. The Georgetown management is scouring in the vicinity of Washing ton camps for an opponent for to morrow on the assumption that the Washington health authorities will give the necessary permission for a contest, despite the ban on gather ings due to the influenza epidemic.

CHICAGO, November 1.?When teams from Illinois, Iowa, Chicago and Purdue officially open the big ten foot ball season tomorrow there will be a notable absence of star players who In former years could be depended on to bring victories to their schools. In fact, coaches of the four teams do not consider that they have a man around -whom plays can be built. Players who were the stars last year and who were eligible to play this year have all gone into war serv ice, and for that reason mentors have schooled the new men so as to obtain the best possible results from team play. Chicago, with a makeshift team, is to meet Purdue's green and inex perienced eleven at Lafayette. O Illinois and Iowa will play at Iowa City, and Coaah Robert Zuppke ad mitted today that he never had been so hard pressed for players sinoe he took up his duties at Illinois. Iowa irf said to be better fortified In the way of good individual players than any of the other teams. PAY DAY! Don't Forget That New Fall Hat you need.

This does not rest on the surface of the water, but is sufficiently submerged to enable men to walk across without being floated oft. This precaution exposes the troops far less to Are effects than if they walked across in full view in the ordinary way.
