TO REVIVE BUILDING
 OF SAILING VESSELS
Newfoundland to Act As Result of Sit- nation in Fisheries Industry
 Caused By War.

St. Johns, N. F., Jan. S.-A revival
 of the building of sailing vessels in
 Newfoundland is in propect as a re- suit of the situation in the important fisheries industry of the colony brought about by the war During the last ten years the export trade in fish has been carried on chiefly by steamers, but most of the freighters previously available have now been re- quisitioned by the British and French admiralties for war transport pur- poses. In addition, all the steel steam CTS which hitherto lave engaged in annual hunt for seals in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the early spring and during the remainder O. the year have carried large cargoes of fish abroad have been bought by Russia for use as ice-breakers.
 There will be much difficulty this year in finding enough vessels to carry Newfoundland fish to foreign mar kets Moreover, many NeWfound- land mariners are now serving with the British navy that there was a shortage of men qualified to act as masters and mates. Construction of large wooden sailing vessels to supply the needs of the colony already has begun and it is expected that in the next year or two there will be a large addition to the Newfot dIand mer- chant marine.
