ain yields 10 the United States the

pared by an American engineer, Mr..

the boat WAS to have capacity of
1.6O0 cubic yards of dredging per hour.

the trial that most of the foreign am
DassadOrs were present, the Belgian
Cabinet. commissions from Australia,
India, Germany, France, the Argentine
Republic and hundreds of engineers
from all parts of Europe. Trains We're
run at reduced rates to accommodate
the people eager to see the American
dredge. the most powerful in the
world. and for six weeks boats were
kept running mt Antwerp to carry
