ALLIES NEED 7,000,0(10 MEN
SAYS AMERICA SHOULD SUPPLY
THAT MANY.
HcCumber, of North Dakota, Says
England Bearing Brunt.?Millions
of Americans Needed.
Washington, Jan. 16.?Senator
McCumber, of North Dakota, today
gave the senate a gloomy picture of
the position of the United States and
allies in emDhasizing his plea
for radical speeding up of the ship
building programme. He declared
England was now bearing the brunt
of the war and asked, "how long can
she stand this strain?" The United
States must send 5,000,000 troops
to balance the man power of the central
empires, he said, and 7,000,000
would be needed to make the Germans
retreat.
Tension is Great.
"Russia and Roumania are out of
the war," asserted Senator McCumber.
"Italy is losing ground. France
is unable to make any headway. The
wall of opposition at the eastern
< end of the battle line in continental
Europe is crumbling. Who can say
how long Italy can or will withstand
the Teutonic pressure, upumisuc
indeed must be the man who will say
a single year without additional support.
With Italy under the heel 01
the conqueror, with France assailed.
in the flank, who can prophesy
that that country will not quickly be
brought under the heel of the same
conqueror and England's army left
to battle against overwhelming numbers.
This is delineating two things:
First, the exact situation as it now
is, ani, second, the possibilities of
the future, and it is presented with
the hope that we will at least partially
awaken to a realization of
what is before us."
Boastjng Will Not Win.
k , Senator McCumber said the idea
that pointing out our weaknesses
discouraged the American people and
encouraged the enemy was a mistaken
one and declared that "we must
now learn that lesson that boasting
will not win this war." He said he
was tired of hearing the argument
'V j that Germany would be reduced to
^ \ ^submission by starvation and stated
that the central powers control three
times as much territory in Europe
v~" 'j'r as does the allies. The balance of
j: ^resources held by this country, he
said, should not be considered until
there was tonnage to carry men and
products across the seas.
7,000,000 Men Needed.
ggjV-'*" ."The entente powers have about
reacnea iueir utmu, uc oam. *v
balance the man power of the central
powers this country would have
to send 5,000,000 men," and argued
that another million was necessary
to overbalance the geographical advantage
of the centraT nations and
another million if the United States
and her allies wished to be the aggressor,
in other words, 7,000,000
to make the Germans retreat.
When the United States entered
the war the allies cried "give, us
ships," declared Senator McCumber.
*iWe allayed their fears; we assured
them we would supply that shipping.
We took that duty upon ourselves,
the most important, the most vital
duty encumbent upon us in this war.
, And we have neglected that duty bef
\ ^ yond any other, shamefully neglected
it."
Underestimate U-Boats.
^ "They tell us it was because of
the wranglings and disagreements in
\ the shipping board," he declared,
and added that he believed there was
lack of appreciation of the submarine
menace in the board and that
>*** AiA Knlinvo onv momhor cn

unpatriotic as to delay ship building
while the personal differences were
, being settled. He declared "we appointed
a Kilkenny shipping board
and then went to sleep," and later
in his address he said:
r .
We know we must supply Great :
Britain and France and Italy. We
know we shall require 5,000,000
men in France before we can ever j
hope to equalize the forces of the i
powers pitted against each other. ;
Where is our shipping? Where is it
coming from? Possibly God knows,
certainly neither the shipping board
nor the navy department knows."
Send Food First.
Senator McCumber recommended
that the United States stop sending
soldiers to France now and use all
available tonnage for food for the
allies, simulate efforts to attempt to
produce a ship immune to torpedo
attack, and to make full and adequate
test of reinforced concrete vessels.
He said he believed the allies
would emerge from the war after securing
the peace laid down by President
Wilson, but was equally "certain
that unless we come to the support
of our allies wTith shipping facilities
many times greater than we
propose, some of our allies will fall
before we can take their place on the
battlefield."
SHIP BUILDING IN CHARLESTON.
Charleston to Complete $20,000,000
Wortli of Ships in Ten Months.
Charleston, Jan. 3?Charleston
has a contract to build sixteen 7500ton
steel ships for the government,
at a net cost of $20,000,000, within
the next 10 months. This is the
biggest thing in the shipbuilding
line that appears on the South Carolian
seaport's horizon at this time.
The Southern Shipbuilding Corporation,
operating under the Whittelsev
T->?for?+o ie, th? rnnrprn which has
^ Ci V/ V tO y AO V** w - ?? -
obtained this- contract from the
government, and its engineers have
already begun work at Charleston
on the site for the plant. Inasmuch
as the Southern Shipbuilding
Corporation is said to have a contract
of which time is the essence,
with penalties for delay, it is belived
locally that the work of actual
construction will be commenced just
as soon as the company finds it
possible.
The largest private plant in Charleston
at this time is that of Valk
& Murdock company, which is already
equipped to build and repair
vessels up to 1500 tons, but which
now has under construction a floating
drydock which will be the
largest commercial drydock on the
South Atlantic coast and will accommodate
nearly anything in the
coastwise trade. Satisfactory progress
is being made on this drydock
at the company's yards on Cooper
river. The plans include constructing
basin 450x100 feet in overall
dimensions, capable of handling
vessels of 7500 tons or more. The
dock will be of wood and steel constructed
in sections to permit making
the dock shorter or longer.. The dock
sides will measure 43 feet )to permit
the entrance of vessels drawing 22
feet of water. Vessels 500 feet
long with 80-foot beam will be accommodated.
In addition to its other
activities, the Valk & Murdock company
has under construction a large
order of ship's boilers.
Shipbuilding has been in progess
steadily at the Charleston Navy-yard
for a considerable time, with important
results, but needless to say,
no details of this work can be given
at this time.
Charleston is looking forward
very eagerly to the coming of. the
Southern Shipbuilding Corporation,
which announced that it will employ
?>+ Inoct man in fVio hocrinnlrp
CL L icao b U V V V JLUVIA iU vu-v
and probably as high as 7000 later
on, and that it will establish itself
on permanent basis for work after
the war as well as now. The Southern
Shipbuilding Corporation expects
to get its fabricated parts
from the Birmingham district.?The

The Bright Spot a Chlid in Exile
Made.
"Children in the exile districts
seem grotesquely misplaced, yet
there were many," writes Fortier
Jones, in the Century. "Sometimes
the gendarmes' magic would lift a
father from his too liberal fireside in
Russia, and set him down without
the humiliation of a trial in the glorious
Narym solitude. Not infrequently
his family followed him in
order to share the new life, for as
elsewhere, fathers are loved in Russia.
Particularly among educated
men the continual, unrelieved loneliness
tended to bring on insanity.
I knew one fine business man, a millionaire
of Kieff, and a direct descendent
of Rouget de Lisle, whose
little daughter came into exile with
him to save him from this dreaded
loneliness. She was fourteen years
old, and they lived in a dreary vil
lage by the great river, in a log cabin
with pink chintz curtains and a
piano. She was a winning little
thing, with happy, brown eyes and
long curls, and to all appearances
was no whit worse for her exile existence.
The fascinating life of the
forest was familiar to her, the birds
and flowers, and her father cared
for her French and history. What
a bright spot she was in that wretched
place, and what a curious life for
a little girl whose illustrious forefather
had composed the 'Marseillaise!'
Her mother, who joined them
later when her health would permit,
and they had gained permission to
live in a town on the railway, was

Neither was Correct.
"Yes," said Swagger, 'this is a
saphire in my ring."
"That's where you are wrong,"
said his friend. "That is called a
saffire."
"No, sap-hire."
"Well, we'll go to a jeweler's and
ask him to settle the argument."
Said Swagger to the jeweler,"I pronounce
the name of the jewel in my
ring 'sap-hire' and my friend pronounces
it saffire.' Now, which of us
is correct?"
"Neither," said the jeweler. "I
would pronunce it glass."?Puck.
