Francisco, with 2O64 seamen enrolled
under the Act, has 16S native Ameri-
cans and d-1551 unnaturalized aliens.
The rule holds also in other ports.
Present Shipping Available.
It must be recalled that certainly
more than 100000 tons OF foreign
shipping and probably much more
than that has been removed from
commercial operation, since the be-
ginning of the war and that even Of
the million tons of American shipping
now building. aggnegating some 23O
vessels, more than half consists of
colliers, tankers, and car floats, which
will have no influence in alleviating the
demand for cargo space for grain. ma
chinery and general merchandise
which has been the cause Of so much
anxiety.
A New Development.
A suggestion has been made that we
should undertake the rapid construc-
tion of large auxiliary steel schooners
capable Of carrying two or three tons
dead weight which, by the simph-
city Of their construction and ease OF
handling could be operated profitably
in competition with foreign cargo
boats. Such vessels with their COM
bined sail and gas engine power could
it is claimed average something like
{ 8 knots on a voyage and earn an estl-
mated profit of approximately S9O,QOO
year. Perhaps such a policy would
prove successful II certainly illus
trates that an urgent demand for
cargo space persists.
The Future.
Nd doubt the American flag may ul-
timately return to the Pacific. az has
been so confidently predicted by those
who have advocated the Seamen's Act.
/ It is Of course true that the precise
effects OF the Act have been clouded by
the new and extraordinary conditions
! in shipping which have resulted from
/ the war. The reports OF difficulties eX-
I perienced seem. however, to show con-
clusively that at a time when Pacific
trade was approaching an important
phase Of its development, due not only
TO the opening Of the Canal. but alsC
! to the prospective expansion of Orien-
tai trade. additional restrictions have
been imposed upon the operation OF
American ships. The vote of the

Shipments and Tonnage.
The greatest expansion OF exports
since the beginning OF the war has
consisted in shipments to Europe.
which in 1915, in spite of the practical
elimination Of the important part
played in normal times by exports to
Germany and Austria-Hungary. were
thirty-three per cent. more than in
1914. The situation ON the Pacific has
been somewhat different, the total
value Of exports from the United
States to Asia having increased only
about nine per cent. and those to Aus
tralia and New Zealand having re-
manned practically stationary. When
we turn 20 the shipping situation II
is therefore interesting to note that
the entrances and clearances for the
eight leading posts on the Pacific in
1915 were something like sixteen per
cent less than in 1914.
Perhaps 1t is too early TO state with

San Francisco has seen the elimina-
tion OF the American flag from regular
lines of steamers sailing to the Orient
as well as the sale to eastern syndi-
Gates for operation on the Atlantic
coast of many vessels formerly oper-
ating in the Pacific. Although build
ing is reported to be very brisk. it
must necessarily be a matter Of time
until many of the American vessels

placed by others now under construc-
tion. Only at San Pedro does tonnage

The Seamen's Act.
While such conditions have pre-
vailed. the Seamen's Act became ef-
fective last November as applied to
American ships and on March 4 as ap-
piled to foreign vessels The Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States has
gone on record by an overwhelming
vote for tlse suspension Of those pro-
visions Of the Seamen's Act which
have to do with the demand OF half
pay at American ports by seamen on
foreign ships and also against the Ian
guage test and the statutory compile
ment Of able seamen. A, vote was also
recorded in favor of suspending the
section of the Act referring to life
saving appliances and the manning OF
life boats.

GERMANY AND IRELAND.

By aiding and abetting Ireland in
the recent uprising. Germany has
caused a stain to be placed on the
name Of Ireland that can never be
erased. True, it was not the real Irish
that revolted, but lot of self-seeking,
middle-class politicians that were
able with Germany's aid to impress
on the unintelligent Irish people that
this was the time to strike. Fortu-
nately, England was prepared to
crush the revolution in its infancy,
and neither Germany nor her Irish
agents benefited by the rebellion.
