THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918. 3 BROOKLYN IS NOW THE GREATEST SHIP REPAIR CENTER IN U.S: Todd Corporation Alone Employs Workers With Pay Roll of $250,000 a Week. The action of Secretary Daniels in lifting the ban on news of the shipworld makes it possible for The Eagle, to give today the first facts regarding the tremendous increase in the work that has place on borough's own waterfront since the beginning of hostilities by the United States. Millions of dollars have been spent for sites, ways, buildings, yards, equipment and in salaries by one corporathe Todd Shipbuilding Company, alone; over 8,000 people are constant1y employed by this one company, with payroll quarter of a million dollars a week just for the mechanics, while over $2,000,000 a month in business has been brought into Brooklyn.

Four large mine sweepers have already been constructed, from the ground up and delivered to the Government, another is 90 per cent. complete and a sixth is to be delivered next month, while others are to follow. Self-propelled steam barges are to be built and the ending of the war will not for a long time affect this important industry, in the opinion of William H. Todd, head of the corporation, which operates three plants Brooklyn, in Manhattan, one in Seattle, and one in Tacoma, Wash. "Our company has continuously turned down offers from private concerns to build ships, barges and tugs because we were going to capacity on work," said Mr.

Todd, Government, is the sightest let up in Government construction or repair work our company can secure more than its capacity of private work. We are literally swamped with tenders of business and are almost at our wit's ends to know how to increase our facilities sufficiently to take care of present and prospective contracts." Brooklyn Greatest Ship Repairing Center in Country. Brooklyn, through the efforts of Mr. Todd and his associates in conjunction with the borough's other shipbuilding and repairing concerns, has become the greatest ship repairing center in the country. The Todd firm reaches out for its business from H.

Todd. Canada to Mexico, and at the present time the steamship Winifredian, of more than 14,000 tons, which went on the rocks near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, is being repaired in the Robins plant. Securing this contract was quite a feat and to George J. Robinson, vice president of the Robins Shipbuilding Company, a subsidiary of the Todd corporation, belongs the credit of having secured this job, the contract price running well over $600,000.

The ship was first taken to Montreal, after being pulled off the rocks, and temporary repairs made, including concreting the smashed bow and the construction of a false bow, so that she could be brought to Brooklyn to be permanently repaired. A still larger job, a monetary sense, although the ship is smaller, now under way in the same yard, is the repair work being done on the. oil tanker Kellogg, torpedoed off the American coast by a German submarine some months ago. The stern of the Kellogg was hit just at the engine-room and she was SO badly smashed that it was necessary to rebuild her engines. The contract price on this job is $883,000.

Todd Company's Notable Record. But it is in shipbuilding itself that the Todd Company has made such a notable record. Taking over the old Tebo yacht basin a little over a year ago, the Todd Company, through the efforts of J. S. Milne, chief engineer of the company, and Ernest Files, chief draughtsman, have not only made a real shipbuilding plant here, but have actually constructed and delivered to the Government Tour minesweepers at a contract price of 000 each, have another 90 per cent.

completed to be delivered this month and expect to deliver al. sixth next month. This is a remarkable achieve- ment not only for Brooklyn but for any community when it is considered that the first keel was laid not a year ago. Ten of these mine-sweepers are to be built altogether. Aside from this this plant has put the machinery in three of the wooden ships constructed elsewhere for the Shipping Board, is completing the installation in a fourth and will a fifth ready by the end of this month, and has contracts for the same work on fifteen others.

As soon the mine-sweepers have been completed, six self-propelled steam barges, for carrying either oil or water, are to be built for the Navy, and this will bring into Brooklyn another $1,500,000. This plant employs from 1.800 to 2,500 men. as the company is able to procure them and 1150 them, and the payroll runs about 000 a week. Over $2,000,000 has already been spent 011 this plant by the Todd people. Clinton Plant Nearing Completion.

The Clinton plant. at the foot of Clinton is not ready to begin operations yet, as all of the construction work has not been completed. ready, however, 8. pier costing $80,000 has been built and dredging operations alongside of the pier. costing $75,000, have been completed.

For this plant the Todd Company is having constructed on Staten Island a mammoth floating dry dock at a cost of $500.000, while a second dry dock of the same proportion and also costing $500,000 is being consrtucted in Pvt.

The Eagle is able to print this view of castle Amerongen and the Middachten-Allee leading to it in the little town in which the Kaiser has taken refuge. These pictures are a few of the many photos which Mr. Linn's wife, Mrs. Florence Vander Willigan Linn, who is the niece of the late Admiral Henri Dyserinck, one time Minister of Marine in Holland, gathered while on a tour through this part of Europe in 1911. According recent reports the Kaiser is living in the left wing of the mansion.

This is the wing which is most prominent in the picture. The trees in the wooded are often as high as 300 feet and are very straight and shapely. Dr. Henry van Dyke, former Min ister to the Netherlands, knows the place well. The castle of Amerongen is the oldest seat of the family.

The home is extremely beautiful, renowned among the historic houses in the Netherlands. The estate is a large one.

The granting of licenses to continue building operations in New York has been left to special committee on building and then construction of the Mayor's Committee on National Defense, according to George Mac Donald, chairman of the committee, who returned today from a.

conference in Washington with the War Industries Board. Mr. Mac Donald said: "No buildings or alteration on buildings in New York City, the cost of which will exceed $10,000, is permitted without official recognition from the Mayor's Committee on National Defense. At a conference with the War Industries Board in Washing, it was decided that permits for building operations will be granted by this board.

SEAS MUST BE FREE IF AMERICA IS TO FEED RUSSIA AND CENTRALS London, November 14-Problems connected with the policing and provisioning of Russia and the Central Powers hinge primarily upon the immediate disarmament of the German fleet, the Russian warships held by the Germans and those under control of the Ukrainian Government in the Black Sea. Warships which are held by the Bolshevists in the Finnish Gulf must also be put out of commission. Without freedom movement in the Black seas, the Entente Powers and the United States will have great difficulty in affording economic relief to Central Europe, as well as Scandinavia.

Consequently, the attitude of the Germany navy toward the armistice terms is watched with eagerness by Entente officials, who are anxious to prevent starvation among the belligerents and to restore normal social and economic conditions among the suffering millions. If the Russian Bolshevist movement, which has been started against Finland, should be successful, Finland would also be placed temporarily beyond relief. Food conditions are more favorable in Ukraine and in the Caucasus regions, where there is much grain stored. Georgia and Armenia can be fed with comparative ease when the Allies are free to navigate the Black Sea. Railroads there have not been serito ously have impaired.

about Germany is supposed 250,000 troops in Ukraine and in the Russian Baltic provinces. as well as 50,000 in Finland. Unde rthe armistice terms, these troops will remain until the Entente requests their withdrawal. Adequate provisioning of these is of prime importance to prevent. their disaffection and possible alliance with the Russian Bolshevists.

The public is in- GERMAN CABINET HAS RADICAL DRIFT; ALL ARE SOCIALISTS Revolt Accepted as an Accomplished Fact- Hindenburg Turns Army Over to New Regime. Although the news from Germany continues cloudy and contradictory, two facts stand out: 1. The entire country is accepting the revolution as an accomplished fact.

2. The radical Bolshevist wing of the new Socialist Government is gaining in power. The steady and orderly progress of the revolution is indicated by the peaceful resignations of nearly all the rulers under the old regime. Following the ruler of Prussia, the three remaining German Kings, ruling Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Saxony, were the first to go. Then followed the Grand Duke of Baden, the Duke of Hesse and the Duke of Brunswick, the Kaiser's son-in-law.

Since then every day has brought news of the abdication of some lesser princeling, including even the heads of minor principalities, such as the Prince of Reuss, the Duke of Saxe-Weimar and the Prince of Lippe, who were little more than figureheads. Crowns Laid Down Without Bloodshed. In no case has the cable brought news of any riots or bloodshed in connection with the retirement of the heads of houses which have been reigning since the Middle Ages. No more striking proof of the democratic temper of the great mass of the German people could be cited than this apparent willingness to abandon every living symbol of the old regime. The rioting in Berlin has centered about the royal stables, just back of the ex- Emperor's palace, which is in the heart the city at the upper end of Unter den Linden, the principal thoroughfare.

A group of royalist officers, belonging to one of the body guard regiments which accept only members of the old Junker families, isolated itself here at the beginning of the to realize revolution that and the has rest of evidently Ger- failed many is celebrating "a good riddance of bad rubbish." Significant evidence of the imity with which the revolution is accepted is the action of Field Marshal von Hindenburg and the commander of the armies of the East in placing their forces at the disposition of the new Government. The troops western front have long been honeycombed with revolutionary sentiments. American propaganda has had no small part in producing this result. It is probable that von Hindenburg accepted the inevitable, since it was manifestly impossible to continue to enforce discipline except in co-operation with the Socialist regime. Minority Carries Its Point.

From its first inception the German revolution has witnessed a conflict between the two factions of the Socialist party. The majority faction, headed by Scheidemann, representing about four-fifths of the Socialist membership of the Reichstag, and the minority group, which has been fightling for peace at any price for the past two years, headed by Hugo Haase. The majority group has been an active factor in German political life since 1875 and saw no objection to continuing to work with the bourgeoise The minority faction, which believes parties. in the class war and upholds the Bolshevist program, refused to participate in any government in which the bourgeoise parties were represented. The personnel of the new cabinet as announced from Copenhagen this morning indicates that the minority has won its point.

Only Socialists are members of the new Government. Friedrich Ebert, the new Chancellor. is a. Social Democrat who has long been one of the members of the Executive Committee of the majority faction, but Hugo Haase, who receives the important portfolio of Foreign Affairs, is the leader the Minority Group. Haase an Active Socialist.

Haase is by profession a lawyer. He is 55 years old and has been an active Socialist the greater part of his life. For some years he was a menber of the Executive Committee of the party- the committee which represents the intellectual aristocracy of Germany, at least SO far as politics is concerned. On August 4, 1914. he came out in the Reichstag in support of the war in the following words: will support the Government because the salvation and independence of Germany would be endangered by the triumph of Russian despotism." Charged by his friends with having deserted his convictions, he replied that he was still against the war, but that he did not wish to disrupt the Socialist party by organizing a minority group.

He did provoke a split in the party in March, 1916, by coming out flatfootedly on the side of the United States in the submarine controversy. The caucus of the Socialist party in the Reichstag voted, by a narrow majority, that it would support the Government on the submarine issue. Haase refused to acceptthe decision, and was excluded from the party for a breach of party discipline. Accordingly, he organized the minority faction known as the Independent or Spartacus group, carrying 18 Reichstag representatives with him into the new group. It is this group which was largely 5 responsible for unseating Michaelis when this 90-day Chancellor tried to make political capital out of the revolt in the German Navy by trying to link up Independent Socialist leaders with the leaders of the revolt.

This attempt produced so much resentment as to force the Chancellor and Admiral von Capelle to resign and vastly increased the political influence of the Hanse group. Scheidemann. Social Democrats' Leader, Phillip Sche the Minister of Finance and Colonies (these portfolios have never been combined, but perhaps Scheidemann feels that the German colonies will not be a heavy burden upon him for some time to come), is the accepted leader of the Social Democratic party. He is a first-class politician, and has made the influence of the Socialist Reichstag faction a tremendous power by cooperating with the government whenever he could get important concessions by way of reward. The strict Marxians have always regarded him as too much of an opportunist.

He will prove to be the best balance wheel of the new Cabinet, since his long political experience and generally sober views will offset some of the radicalism of the Independents, Dittmann Another Radical. Wilhelm Dittmann, another man with radical tendencies in the new government, has been an editor of Sonewspapers, secretary of the Socialist party organization at Franktort, and since 1912 a member of the Reichstag. But, like every other member of the government, he represents the intellectual elite of the Socialists in spite of the fact that he is a carpenter by trade and only attended the common schools. Would You Like Them to Be Without Books? LEWIS CALLS HEADS OF B. R.

T. TO TESTIFY AT WRECK HEARING Col. Williams Agrees to Attend Monday-No Word Received From Dempsey. The denouement of the John Doe investigation into the Brighton line disaster may be dramatically reached on Monday, it was learned today, through the probable presence as witnesses before Mayor Hylan, sitting as a. committing magistrate, of Col.

Timothy S. Williams, president of the B. R. and John J. Dempsey, vice president and general manager.

From the inception of the hearings it has been generally known that District Attorney Lewis was seeking to substitute the names of Col. Williams and Mr. Dempsey for the "John Doe" and "Richard Roe." who are jointly charged with manslaughter, with Motorman Anthony Lewis and Guard Sam Russof, in the complaint that is the basis of the investigation. Neither Col. Williams nor Mr.

Dempsey has thus far been present at any of the hearings, The names of the two have figured largely in the testimony, and it has been an open secret that the District Attorney was seeking to establish responsibility against both. Today, he sent A request for the presence of the two in court on Monday. Word came back promptly 011 behalf of Col. Williams, through his counsel, that he would be present and would agree to waive immunity. Up to this afternoon, however, there has been no word from Mr.

Dempsey. "Thus far he hasn't noticed my invitation," said District Atterney Lewis. "Do you intend to subpena him then?" "Well, I hope to have him in court on Monday," answered Mr. Lewis. The session Monday will take the place of that originally scheduled for tomorrow.

After adjournment had been taken to Friday morning the Mayor found that an official visit by la foreign mission would keep him busy tomorrow. Doughboys Swear by the Salvation Army! B.KLYN TO OBSERVE VICTORY DAY, NOV. 28; PRESIDENT INVITED Riegelmann Names Nathan Jonas Head of Committee to Direct Big Celebration. Brooklyn is to celebrate the victory of the United States and its Allies over the Teutonic powers on Thanksgiving Day, November 28. Borough President Edward Riegelmann, who will be chairman of the general committee.

today appointed Nathan S. Jonas. President of the Manufacturers Trust Company and one of the men who was largely responsible for the success of the last two Liberty Loan drives, as chairman of the Citiens Committee to direct the celebration. As President Wilson is expected to be in the city to attend the Manhattan celebration on that day, an effort 18 to be made to have him come to Brooklyn to attend the celebration here. If matters can be arranged the President will be taken on a tour of the city in an automobile to visit as many sections as possible.

Steps have already been taken to get in touch with the White House. According to tentative plans the Brooklyn celebration will be held in Prospect Park during the afternoon, the hour being left in abeyance until it is learned whether the President can come to Brooklyn. If he does, the time will be fixed to suit his convenience. It is proposed to have a big community chorus and massed bands to provide the patriotic and Thanksgiving music the occasion demands. There will, it is hoped, be an address by the President, and a review of wounded veterans who have been invalided home.

Nearly all the organizations represented in the present War Work Drive will have a part in the exercises. These will include the Y. M. C. Y.

W. C. Knights of Columbus. Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community and the Salvation Army. In addition the Red Cross.

Boy Scouts and school children will participate. Mr. Jonas is working hard this week in the War Work Drive, but he said today that he would confer with Borough President Riegelmann and would probably announce the make-up of his committee on Monday. Many leading men of the borough will be asked to serve. If it is found impossible to 201 President Wilson to come to Brooklyn.
