MISTAKES DUE
j TO MAGNITUDE
! OF THE WORK
In Spite of Many Difficul
ties the Shipping Board
Was Able to Turn Out
: Ships - in Number Suffi
cient to Help Turn the
Tide at the Most Critical
Time.
W ashington, D. C, Feb. 12.-E. N.
Jlurley of Chicago, former chairman of
ths shipping board, testified to-day be
fore a House committee that he had
been told by Georges Clemenceau at
the Paris peace conference that the ap
pointment of Charles M. Schwab as di
rector general of the Emergency Fleet
corporation had frightened the Ger
(in,iins, heartened the French and en
thused the British.
Mr. Hurley appeared before the com
mittee, which is investigating opera
tions of the shipping board, to describe
the difficulties encountered in the rap
id creation of the government mer
chant fleet during the war.
Describing Mr. Schwab as "the fore
most captain of industry irr the coun
try," he praised his services to the
frovernmeiit during the war and said
,tliat hell ad been instrumental in get
ting Mr. Schwab-to serve with the cor
poration, fie had done go, he said, be
tause he realized that satisfactory
progress was not being made in the
building of new yards and in the con
struction of wooden ships.
Reviewing the board's work, gener
ally during the war, Mr. Hurley said
n intakes had been made, but that they
were inherent in the magnitude of the
jlob of expanding many-fold the ship
construction facilities of the country,
jlle declared that in spite of the many
(lifhYultic the board was able to turn
mut ships in great enough numbers to
Jelp turn the tide at the-most critical
Jirriod of the war.
The shipping boaid's efforts were ap
preciated abroad, Mr. Hurley said.
"Why, tlie Kngli--h, French and ltal
5an and even the Jermans were
iistoundcd at what we did," he de
lta red.
Outlining the rush job which the
!oard faces, he asked:
"In the. circumstance which then
existed, is there any man of affairs
vim would contend that the job could
l,c done with that degree of efficiency
that would commend itself to compe
tent business men in time of peace
that there could be exercises of econ
omy that might have been possible
vhen peace prevail-?"
When the I'nited States entered the
Mar, he said. :I7 steel and .14 wooden
shipyards were in the country employ -Sn
44,000 men. At the peak of ac
tivities this force was increased to
CiHl.OOO with 200,000 others in indus
tries providing ship materials.
Trade witness defended the account
Jng sy- :i of, the fleet corwrution.
lodrru liuiiies methods were oper
ated, he said, but its operations were
jntcrfered with by the loss of skilled
urcotin'.atits, who were lured away to
fetter jobs in private industry.

finance, declared in a speech to the
Bremen chamber pf commence to-day.
Great economic questions could not be
solved in that way, he added.
"We are prepared to accomplish all
we can," he said, "because w feel
under a moral obligation to assist in
reconstruction and we will make repara
tion proposals of our own in Lond.n.
"The newspaper, reports on this sub
ject are incorrect. Our offer will not

Government.
Berlin, Feb. 12. Legislation which
would prescribe the manner in which
all civilian guards in Germany are to
be dissolved is now being drafted by
the ministry of the interior. -
The cton pf the Bavarian premier
in placing responsibility for disarma
ment upon the Herln government has
created a situation quite embarrasing
to the federal ministry. In view of the
prolonged discussions by the Bavarian
ministers at Munich, Constantine
Fahrenbach, the chancellor, had looked
for a more emphatic declaration from
Dr. Yon Kahr.
Munich, Feb. 11. Independent so
cialists demanded during yesterday's
session of the Bavarian diet that the
government make a report on negotia
tions carried on between the lierlin
government and Dr. Yon Kahr, Bava
rian premier, and this provoked a lively
debate. A speaker for the government
declared tlt the proceedings at Ber
lin were confidential and that Wieir na
ture coTild not be divulged except in a
plenary session.
Socialist and communist leaders de
clared the government reply was un
satisfactory, and the debate continued
until a recess was taken.

TYPHUS SAFE
GUARDS ARE BEING
CONSIDERED
Federal Authorities Express Confidence
That Outbreak of Disease Will
Be Prevented.
Washington. P. C, Feb. 12 Xew
methods to safeguard the people of the
United States from Europe's typhus
epidemic were under consideration to
day by the federal auWorities. Confi
dence .was expressed, however, that
the more than 25 cases found among
passengers aboard steamships arriving
at Xew York would not result in the
spread of the disease to the ' I'nited
State.
Imposition of new regulation both
abroad and at American ports was con
sidered as likely to result from a con
ference to-day between Ewing Laporte,
assiitant secretary of the treasury in
charge of public health, and Surgeon
General dimming of the public health
service. The two officials said they
would be guided by the survey of the
i situation in New York as revealed in
a report iron! Assistant furjtvuii urn
. .. u 1
eral Creel, who went to Xew lork a
few days ago.
The probiltyion of admission of im
migrants from the typhus infected dis
tricts of Europe, however, is not re
garded as warranted in view of the
precautions already taken and contem
plated. Secretary Tumulty has in
formed Dr. Royal S. Copelupd, Xew
York City health commissioner.

DAWES, THE CRICTIC,
SEES HARDING
His Visit Arouses Speculation As to
1 i
Possible Appointment to High
Official Pisition.
St. Augustine, . Fla., Feb. 12.
Charles G. Dawes, Chicago banker, who
has been prominently under considera
tion for appointment as secretary of
the treasuury, headed President-elect
Hanging's appointment list for to-day
with a conference that started a new
strain of cabinet speculation here.
One conceded to have first call on
the treasury portfolio but more re
cently regarded as a less formidable
contender forthe plaoe, Mr. Dawes has
become one of the mystery men of the
cabinet problem. It was said at Hard
ing headquarters that his call waa not
the result of a formal appointment at
Mr. Harding's request but in some
quarters the fact ofUiis coming at this
time was interpreted as evidence that
he still is being considered for some
high government position.
Mr. Dawes ia iu Florida visiting rela
tives. He created a sensation in Wash
ington last week by publicly condemn
ing the methods of the Republican ma
jority in Congress in its investigation
of the conduct of the war. Regarding
his course in that regard, -Mr. Harding
and the oflicials close to him have had
nothing to say nor would, they make
any comment on the significance pf to
day's conference beyond the assurance
that the president-elect has a bib re
gard for his caller Vability.
Others'with whom Mr. Harding hd
appointments to day included Henry A
S io Wood of Xew York, interested in
aviation projects, and a committee of
the Jacksonville chamber of commerce,
who brought an invitation to the president-elect
to visit that city.

MRS. LEWIS SAWYER.
East Barre Woman Died After Long
Suffering. '
t
At the City hospital this morning
occurred the death of Mrs. Lewis Saw
yer of East Barre, at the age of 41
years, after months of Buffering from a
cancerous trouble.
Mrs. Sawyer was born in Dummer
ston, Exilda Hebert, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Hilttrick iicoeri, ana cauie iu
i!.rr .17 vPHra atro. livinir since that
time in Barre City and Town. She was
educated at spauiamg nign scnooi, un
a short time before her graduation
was compelled by poor health, to give
up her studies.
Sept. fi 1010, she was married to
Lewis Sawver and they purchased a
home in East Barre and lived there
since thtrt time.
Mrs. Sawyer had been ill since last
May, spending three weeks then at the
City hospital, then returning home and
coming back later for three weeks'
more treatment, after which she went
to Hartford, Conn., for radium treat
ment. Xon oi the methods employed
in treating her case brought the desired
result and she returned to her home,
where for 11 weeks she was under the
care of a trained nurs. and three
weeks ago she was brought to the City
hopsital, where death came this morn-inu-
to relirve her suffering. The ex
treme kindness of the nurses at the hos
pital and.their tender care alleviated as
much as possible her condition.
A most faithful member of St. Syl
vester's church, she was recognized as
a regular attendant at all its services,
no matter what the weather, as long
as her health permitted, and she was
a young woman much liked by all w ho
knew her.
Besides her husband, she is sur
vived by a sister, Mrs. David O'Keete of
Brattleboro. and two brothers, Peter
Hebert of Xorthbridge, Mass., and John
Hebert of Williamstown.
