AMERICAN MERCHANT
F|9ET'S GREAT GROWTH
Germany Has Lost More Heavily in
Tonnage Than ANY Other
Nation.

Washington Sept, THE ncr-
chant fleets of the world now active
total, according to the latest issue OF
Lloyds Register, 49. 261 ,769 gross tons,
an increase Of only l72, 2i7 tons in the
last year. as against a normal annual
increase of l.30S, 600 tons in the last
ten years preceding.
part of this loss represents vessels
destroyed in war, the rest indicates
decreased activity al shipyards, and
also merchantmen tied up In neutral
ports. For instance, the merchant ma
rine of Germany is 753269 tons less
than before the war, owing in part TO
the idleness Of the big ocean grey
hounds OF the North Germa Lloyd
and Hamburg American lines at Ho-
boken.
The American merchant fleet has
increased by 524 ,445 gross tons. or
about four times the usual average,
of which 523,3 6l represents simply
ships transferred from foreign owner
ship OF these vessels, $3.50 tons
had been owned in Britain and l47,
742 tons in Germany.
The British merchant fleet has
grown by 229,ols gross tons in the last
year. and that of Japan has grown by
1l7.6s2 gross tons. The next largest
increase, 6S.24 tons. Is that Of Italy.
Most of these increases are merely
transfers of flags. except in the case
OF Japan, whose shipyards have been
working day and night since the war
began.
The merchant fleets of the world
now rank as follows, in gross tonnage:
Britain. 2l,274,063; United States.
5.S92,6 Germany, 4,706.027, Nor
way. 2.529,1sS; France, 2.2s5,T2s;

Russia, 1,054.762; Austria Hungary

Gross tonnage is the entire cubical
contents of the ship. each ton being
represented by 100 cubic feet.
