Our Efficient Shipyards.

Whatever else "free Ships may have
done for Norway, they have failed to
give her shipbuilding industry adequate
to her needs, and now that the war has
closed British shipyards to Norwegian
owners, they are forced to come to the
United States. 1t is very interesting
report that Christopher Hannevig of
Christiania has given contract to the
Baltimore Dry Dock and Shlpbullding
Company for two triple-screW oll-tank
steamers, each to be 293 feet long, AZ
feet beam and % feet wide, the approx
mate cost to be 100000. Norwegians
for many years purchased American
vessels, but they were secondhand sail
vessels which Americans could no longer
operate with profit in the foreign trade.
Many such craft are and have been under
Norwegian colors. But it is a novel eX-
perlence to see these thrifty North
Europe people seek the American flag
for new frst-class construction.
If the war is long continued many
other Scandinavian orders are likely to
come to the United States. There are
some modern shipyards in Norway,
Sweden, and Denmark, but not enough
to meet the requirements of these mari
time people, who find their neutral flags
VI great duNdHldSe, IHS
Scandinavians believe in the skilful work
of American shipyards. Not only can our
builders produce good ships, but with the
right conditions they can produce them
quickly.
Take, for example, the rapid compile
ton of the Edith for the Bull Steamship
Company, and the even more striking
case of the Mariana, built for the Porto
Rican trade by the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company. Instead
of requiring twelve or fifteen months
to construct the latter high-class freight
steamer, the Newport News yard turned
her out in twenty-five weeks, one reason
being that she was duplicate of the
Lorenzo, built at the same yard before.
The constantly incl eased efficiency of
American shipbuilding establishments is
strikingly illustrated by the statement
of President Ferguson of the Newport
News, Company, that his present force
of $500 men is doing today as much
and quicker work than was formerly &C.
complished by 1900.
Given fair chance under favoring
laws, with the Infamous La Toilette
Furuseth exactions abolished, American
steel shipbuilders can lead the world as
brilliantly today as American ship
builders fifty years ago led it in their day
and generation. There is every sign that
our shipyards will be pushed to their ca
pacity for several years to come. This is
the hour of their golden opportunity.

Our Merchant Marine
Still Hauling Down the Flag.
from the Marine Journal, New York

Senator La Toilette and his Jealous
CO. laborer, candy" Furuseth. have
scored another effective stroke IN their
campaign for the destruction of the
/ merican merchant marine ty driving
out of the Pacific trade and probably to
the British flag the Great Northern liner
Minnesota, the last American steamship
engaged in Oriental commerce and the
largest ship of American registry. This
great vessel and her sister, the Dakota,
both of 10000 tons, were built for James
J. Hill ten or eleven years ago in the
Hanscom shipyard at Crotch, Conn.,.
opposite New London. They had very
large capacity for freight and good ac-
commodations for limited number of
passengers, and were Immediately placed
on the route for which they were de-
signed, from Puget Sound to Japan and
China. Several years ago the Dakota
was wrecked on the Japanese coast,
fortunately without the loss Of any OF
her people, The Minnesota has since
that time been operated alone by the
Great Northern management, which
gave formal warning that if the Furu-
Beth-La Toilette seamen's law were pass
ed the great ship would have to be with
drawn from Pacific commerce.
So there is no surprise in the present an
nouncement that, following the example
of the Pacific Mail, the Great Northern
vii! Immediately take the Minnesota off
the route, load her for Europe, and en-
deavor to sell this proudest OF American
ships to British or Continental shipown-
ers. This is another logical result of
the war which the La Toilette Furuseth
forces are making on the American flag.
For deeds less dangerous ard destructive
than this to the safety and prosperity of
the United States, men have been tried
for treason. The Minnesota was par
ticulary valuable to the American peo-
pie and their Government because of her
immense capacity for the carrying of
troops and military stores. If any sud-
den crisis arose in Hawaii or the Philip
pines, she could easily convey an entire
brigade and all of its equipment, and as
stout, modern ship she would be worth
more in such an emergency than the
whole miserable fleet of outworn foreign
built transports, so called, which our
War Department possesses in the Pa
scifc Ocean.
The Minnesota received no subsidy.
She was competing with japanese and
British liners in the North Pacific trade
which received subsidies and employed
Asiatic labor Without Asiatic stew
ards, sailors and tiremen, the Minnesota
could never have been operated in the
face of this heavy handicap, and when
La Toilette, Furuseth & Co., with the
shameful assent of President Wilson,
barred Asiatics from employment on
shipboard under the American flag, there
was nothing to do but to abandon the
trade and seek the flag of another gov
eminent. The American people, think
ing now as never before of national
preparedness, will have something to
say presently to President Wilson, to
Senator La Toilette anc to Mr.. turu-
seth, which will be as sharp and en-
phatic as shotted gun.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, July TO- Prospects for 4
| heavily increased movement of the new

ions the outcome varied from 321a decline
I to rise Of cents.
Reports that thrashing was being
rushed in southern Illinois ann that cut
ting was general as far north as Bloom

ket decidedly uneasy and led to selling
on a liberal scale. The ensuing break
in prices forced the execution of many
the day were reached after word came
that cash wheat in st. Louis had suffered
a break of to II cents bushel on
account OF enlarged receipts and because
of amplif1ed arrivals expected next Week.
Previous to the downward swing of
the wheat market a material advance
had been scored as result of unWel-
come rains in the west and southwest
and because of higher cables. The fore
cast, however, was for clearing weather,
especially in Kansas and Nebraska. Cos
sip that world shipments for the week
would be the smallest in seven years
was soon lost sight of and no attention
at all seemed to be given to rumors OF
foreign buying. Whatever export sales
took place were said to have been chiefly
due to the augmented rural offerings and
to the consequent break in prices.
Corn fell in sympathy with wheat and
owing to somewhat improved crop re-
ports. Shipping demand was not so ac-
tive as heretofore of late.
Oats averaged lower, influenced main
" by other cereals. The recent urgent
call for the seaboard was missing.
Lquidating sales weakened provisions.
Late in the session packers bought ribs,
but otherwise the market was without
support.

WAR WIDOW FINDS
HER SON INSANE

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. n
When the war broke out in Europe,
Mrs. Nancy Brooks, 70 years old, lost
her husband, an officer in the British
army. Zeppelin attacks subsequently
destroyed her home in England She
then travelled across the sea and a
continent to spend her declining days
with her son who was last heard Of
on a ranch near here.
She found him today incurably in
sane in the Patton State hospital.
The shock OF his fathers death and
the refusal OF the recruiting officers
in Vancouver, b, c., to permit him
to join the colors with the Canadian
contingent has unbalanced his mind ,
New found friends are endeavoring
to obtain a home for the stricken
widow.

Russian Strategy

The disaster along the Dunajec put
an end to all Russian offensive STRAIT
egg. For the time the sole POSSIBLE
ity was to rescue imperilled armies.
Russian ammunition had failed.
There was no prospect for the pres.
ent of renewing it.. As in Manchu'
ria, so in Galicia, after disaster Rus
sian military genius shone forth nj
a brilliant retreat. The retreat from
CALICO began as something approx
mating a rout. 1t ended in an or.
derby withdrawal.
The decision to retreat from Poland
seems to have been determined by
the pressure of Mackensen on the
south, but there is at least some
ground for believing that 1t was de-
termined in Galicia and that the
Grand Duke recognized then that long
retreats were inevitable. At all
events after the first defeat in Cali.
cha Russian startegy is no longer to
be mistaken. Russia has adopted
precisely the same policy by which
she ultimately ruined Napoleon.
Thus the German official reports
relate that as the Russians retire
they are burning the crops, laying
the country. turning provinces into
deserts, driving the population be.
fore them. This is 1912 over again.
But what is~of most interest is to
recognize that the Russians have
chung to the main idea that 1t is es-
sential to keep their armies in be-
ing. They have declined to risk
their armies in a dangerous defen.
sive. They have followed the fam.
Gus strategy of their ancestors. They
have copied the method Of Joffre last
year, when he gave the Germans nor
thern France to save the French ar
mics. They expect to regain their
lost provinces, when they obtain am.
munition and restore their broken
organizations.
In all this there is upmistakable
the Russian convictl,7 that the Ger
mans can be eaten only by attrition;
that the war is to be long and tho
decision to come only after the enc
my has been exhausted. To fight to
the last moment OF safety, to retreat
and to fight again, to exact the last
possible casualty, but TO keep their
armies intact, to 60 back more miles
