The United States naval constructors
are in great quandary over the lack
of lumber, for which, Notwithstanding
the steel navy, there is a growing de-
mand in the service. They have pur-
chased, under contract abroad a large
quantity of Philippine moa wood, which
is believed to be a fitting substitute for
teak as backing for armor plate. Con-
structors have used this wood to some
extent on shipboard and have found it
suitable. Large quantities Of it have
been purchased, but have been stored
IN navy yards in anticipation of the ex-
haustion Of the supply of teak and the
consequent demand which will be made
for moa wood, There Is also much diff
nculty in getting white oak and white
pine, and the naval constructors have
been consulting the experts in forestry
In regard TO some other wood which
will answer the purpose for which the
white oak and white pine are used in
the naval service.
