SUNDAY MORNING Dakland Cribune NOVEMBER 11, 1917. "ROMULUS" IS LAUNCHED ON ESTUARY In one day short of twelve months the Alameda plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company, Limited, launched its twelfth steel steamer! from the yards on the Oakland estuary. This twelfth vessel is a steal ship of 6000 tons dead-weight capao1ty. 341 feet long, 48 feet beam and draws 22 feet, 4 inches of water. It was christened the Romulus by Mrs.

Bjarne Lindvig, a European opera singer of note and the wife of the son of the original owner of the vessel, A. 0. Lindvig, of Christiania, Norway. Before the completion of the ship it was requisitioned by the United States Emergency Fleet Corporation and taken over from the origina. owner.

J. R. Christy, manager of the Alameda plant, supervised the launching of the vessel. In shipping circles Joseph J. Tynan, Pacife coast manager of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company, Limited, is being congratulated, upon the achievement of building a great shipyard and launching twelve large sels from it in 364 days.

He is also being congratulated on putting the Romulus into the water within seventy working days from the laying of the keel. This is an enviable record in steamship construction. Under Tynan's direction the company's Alameda: plant is being continuously extended. Within ninety days chine one of in the the largest and finest main shops: United States will be in operation there and in this shop will be built the turbines to equip the vessels to be built at both the San Francisco and Alameda plants of the company. It is not unlikely that -the payroll at the latter plant will increase to 10,000 persons.

TO WATCH AUTOS Lost or stolen automobiles will worry Inspectors Lou F. Agnew and William Smith in the future when such cases are reported to the police, a new assignment of details by Captain of Inspectors Harry Green having placed them In charge. Inspectors William Emigh and Joseph Robinson were formerly on that detail. Food May Be Sent Before Troops Needs of Allies First For U.S. WASHINGTON, Nov.

pos-1 sibilities of the first increment of the national army not reaching France for at least six months loomed large today when it became known that the allies' demands for food, coal and iron are so strong as to forecast the use of available ocean tonnage for their transportation instead of for troops. A decision on the question will. rest largely on reports expected soon from the American mission now abroad and on figures being assembled by Food Administrator Hoover to show the amount of- grain and other food proI duets available for export In the United States and South American countries. Present indications are, the food administrator belfeves, that the food situation, particularly in England, France and Italy, will force the SEEK AGREEMENT ON WAR PRISONERS WASHINGTON, Nov. United States has opened negotiations with Germany for an agreement to govern treatment of prisoners of war.

This is being done not only to secure the best possible conditions for the American prisoners, but to show how well German prisoners in the United States are being treated. Already, through the Red Cross in Geneva, the United States has begun forwarding necessaries to Americans held in Germany, of whom there are now more than 100. It is realized that, as the American troops increase numbers on the battle front, more prisoners are bound to find their way to the German prison camps, German military prisoners of war In the United States, besides receiving necessity and comfort, have the privilege of their rank. They are in model sanitary camps and recently one of the prisoners sending a letter to his prospective wife in Germany, wrote that the pay he would accumulate during his imprisonment would not only permit him to retire from the navy, but would set them up in a little business AS well. Photographs showing the comfortable surroundings of interned German prisoners in this country have been forwarded to Germany by the War Department from the State De- United States to use its ships to send food Instead of soldiers.

Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, the food administration's representative on the American mission, has been. instructed to gather information on the allies' needs at the earliest possible time and forward it here so that the war and navy departments and the shipping board may make arrangements in advance, if it appears there can be a surplus of tonnage for transportation for the first increment of the National Army in training camps. Plana for the second draft would be affected by the postponement of the removal of the first increment from camps, but since the camps capacity is much' greater than their present needs it would not be necessary to delay the draft until the camps are actually emptied.

SAN MATED WINS; SCORE IS 5 TO 0 SAN JOSE, Nov. hundred people this afternoon saw San Mateo high; school win the peninsula rugby champion- ship of the California Interscholastie Fed eration on what Referee Bobble Don of Santa Clara: admitted to be an "irregularity and misplay'. by San Mateo. The score: San Mateo 5, San Jose 0. The scora of the game was made four minutes before the close when Gavin Hunter of the San Mateo fifteen the ball while offside fully five yards and ran 63 yards for a touchdown, which was converted by Hirschey, Referee Don failed to see the offside play, which was made behind his back.

The decision caused considerable discussion, and Don finally stated: "San Jose was defeated beyond a doubt by an irregularity and misplay made behind my back and which I failed to see. Had I seen the play the score couldn't have The game war one of the tightest ever played here. In the first half with San Mateo on the offensive the San Jose defense was nothing short of remarkable while in the second halt the Garden City men menaced San Mateo's goal throughout, their offensive only being broken the one time when San Mateo scored on the questionable play. are intended to reveal the expectation of the United States that similar consideration will be shown American soldiers and sailors who may be cap- partment and a neutral agent: Thev tured by Germany.

Flynn, chief of the United States secret service. At the same time, Flynn gave out copies of an artfully worded letter which Thomas Welsh, a British subject, attempted to destroy when taken Into custody by federal authorities on the arrival of a steamship here last Sunday, The two communications, secret servlee agents say, have furnished much information of value in their investigation of the ramifications of Sinn Fein operations in the United States. MELLOWES UNDER BAIL.

Mellowes, said to have been commander of a considerable force of revolutionists during the Dublin riots, is at liberty under $7500 bail, charged with obtaining by fraud a seaman's passport on which it is claimed he intended shipping on an English-bound vessel in order to assist in another Irish rebellion. That another uprising was planned for time not distant is indicated; authorities belleve, by 8 closing sentence in the unaddressed letter found In Welsh' possession. In urging discretion in the wording of communications, presumably from Sinn Fein agents in the United States to leaders of the movement in Ireland, this letter said: "The game is so high and there is too much at stake to take any risks, and you must use extreme caution when writing. Always refer, in future, to the seantear as I do and if possible" to not mention his name at all." LETTER IS CLEW. Portions of the letter, authorities say, gives ground for their belief that Welsh was one of a number of messengers who brought orders from leaders of the organisation in Ireland to their agents in this country and returned with word 88 to the progress of operations here.

Welsh is in the Tombs in default of $2500 bail, charged with violating the trading with the enemy act. DEATH SUSPENDS WORK AT PLANT LIVERMORE, Nov. 10. The focal plant of the Coast and Supply company was closed today in respent to the -memory of 1. 8.
