WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—
Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of hundreds of submar
ine chasers recently ordered by the
navy department. At the New York
navy yard alone a dozen of the 110
feet wooden hulls have been complet
ed already, although the original
plans called for the production of
only one during the month of June.
In August the yards will begin to de
liver hulls at the rate of three a day
and keep that up until the big order
has been filled.
At the present time the engine pro
duction for the boats is a little be
hind schedule. Definite assurances
have been received, however, that the
engine builders also will be ahead of
schedule before August 1.
No decision has been reached as yet
as to additional boats. With vessels
purchased and those under construc
tion many officers believe enough
have been supplied of»this type of
craft. There is some discussion of a
larger boat mounting heavier guns,
a vessel of 160 feet in length having
been proposed.
Enlist Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “slacker” as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
“The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at home
stand back of them, the soldiers in the field can
not do their utmost to protect our households
and our freedom.
