Worlds Vessel Carrying Power.

That the worlds carrying power now includes approximately 3l,OOO
 vessels with an aggregate capacity ot
 47, ,0o0. 900 gross tons, is stated appro-
 priately by the Department of Com
 merce. at this time of shipping paraly-
 sis because of the European war. The carving power has increased 100 per
 cent. in the last 20 years, adds the
 Department, but the numerical sizeof
 the worlds fleet has actually de-
 creased, though slightly. showing the
 great tendency toward larger carrying
 units. The United States ranks second in number and tonnage Of vessels en-
 gagged in commerce, but this is due to
 the vast number engaged in lake and ocean coastwise trade. since the num-
 Der of American vessels engaged m foreign trade, according to reports re- ceiyed by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, is less than that of Great Britain, Germany. France, Italy. or Norway. According to re-
 cent statement Of Lloyds, out or an aggregate tonnage of AT million gross tons in 1e13-1e14, 40 per cent. were credited to Great Britain, Il per cent Germany, about per cent each to | Norway and France, per cent each to
 Holland. Italy and Japan, and from
 2% to 1A per cent to Russia, Sweden Austria Hungary. Denmark and Spain The carrying trade of the United States shows a marked growth in coastwise and lake traffic and a strik- | ing decline on the ocean While the gross tonnage of American vessels en- gagged in lake and coa.stwise trade was | increasing from 3.657,304 tons in 1883
 to e,797. 561 tons in 1913, that of ouI foreign trade was decreasing from 1902, ,o95 tons to 1,027,776 tons. an in- crease in one case of 16S per cent and
 a decrease in the other of 21 per cent during a 30 year period in which the value of our foreign trade rose from 11L billion to Az billion dollars.
 The volume of the oyer-sea com merce served by the worlds merchant marine can not be definitely stated. II is known. however. that a considerable
 portion of the 40 billion dollars wortf of merchandise imported and exported annually by the various nations is car ried by vessel. The United Kingdom being an island community. necessar- | fly imports and exports all it's mer- chandise by vessel The United State:
 sends about four-ffth of its export. to South America and over-sea coun- tries. Brazil sends 90 per cent. of hel exports to extra-South American com. munities.

Rule Changes At Annual Meetinq,

The annual meeting of the roque association will be held this afternoon at 4:lo in the club house. Besides routine business and the election of ofncers 1t is likely that there will come up certain changes in the rules governing the game in this country. The legality of certain shots will be considered and there are those who see the advantages of a new system of scoring not by games but by points. which it is believed would result in a fairer division of the honors, and at the same time call out more interest and greater display of skill. Under this system an arch made would count one point.
