OUR NEW TORPEDO BOATS.
Sharp Competition For the Job Of
building the Little Scooters

Thcro is good reason now to expect a
liberal and healthy competition for tho new
torpedo boats, and for the 3O-knot craft as
we'll as for the slower ones. First in tho field
were tho HcrreshoIs, who are never alarmed
by high speed requirements or by what
England has done. Since then the Colum-
bian Iron Works Of Baltimore, who are
building q trio of 24l5 knot boats. have
notified Mr.. Herbert that they will com.
pete for three 30-knot flyers, and thero
is news that the Union Iron Works,
builders of the fast battIeship oregon and
the faster cruiser Olympia are preparing
plans for the same boats The Cramps, who
constructed our splendid Minneapolis, are
also on the list. OF those who want the great
fame and small profit coming from these.
new bUa:s. The Newport News Company.
which makes such low bids for both gun
boats ard battle ships is also understood to
be in the field. The Morans OF Seattle, who
are pushing along a 26-knot boat, covct some
Of the rev craft, as do the Crescent Works
and Dialogue Il Sons, the latter the builder
Of the navy tug Triton. Gen. Hyde OF the
bath Iron orks, which turned out tho Ma
chias, Castine and Katahdine, has sent for
plans Of the great British torpedo boat
catchers. with view to equalling or beating
them here.
Thus the Atlantic and Pacific coast wards
are busy over these new crafts; nor is It vet
sure that the Mississippi River and the Gulf
Of Mexico, which Congress specially provided
for, will let their part go wholly by default.
For there are two. smaller classes OF boats,
one OF 22}3 knots and the other OF 20. and
as many OF them, not exceeding ten, will be-
huilt as the S500.0 600 appropriated will allow.
The 22Il knot boats will have length OF
about l40 feet, beam Of 1415, mean
draft Of 4A, and displacement
OF about los tons. Thus they should
strongly resemble the Cushing. for she has a
length of 1889 feet, a breadth Of 14I4, and
draught OF n little over Az or a displacement
OF 105 tons. Her contract cost for hull and
machinery was only $780, $50. The other
class is still smaller. having length OF los
feet, beam Of 1917, and a mean draught OF
Az. with displacement OF 65 tons; and these
should cost much less.
Thus there Is prospect Of getting good
number OF tornado boats, even with only
$500, 900, and some establishments III tho In.
terror may bid for the smaller craft, though
just at present the prospects are that they
will be taken by the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. We are at least in fair way to have
proper supply Of torpedo boats.
