BY JOHN l.. BALDEHsTON.


Glasgow. July 26.-The man who
saw the warships that are being built
along the River Clyde and wrote an
account of what he had seen would
astound the world. l have lust seen
the shipbuilding yards of the Clyde,
all of them, and my brain is still reel
ing under the impression produced by
the most stupendous scene of naval
activity in the history of the world
the phrase is that of a great builder
who stood beside me on a little tug
that chugged along mile after mile
between what seemed almost solid
wall of hulls towering above US on
either side.
But no man may visit the Clyde and
describe what he has seen. My trip
was arranged by the admiralty, and
what is written here consists merely
of an attempt to convey to the reader
some idea of what the men and wom-
en- of England are accomplishing
without giving away any one Of some
hundreds of secrets-sucn big secrets
that they fairly shout themselves at
the least expert observer who passes
them. For the reporter who writes
story about the Clyde, however he
may bore his readers in America, may
be absolutely certain that he will have
at least one most attentive reader in
the admiralty buildings in Berlin.
The Clyde in peace time is not
haven of rest. Beside the narrow
stream. twenty miles from the sea-
and fifty years ago only three feet
deep, the building of ships in the
great yards of Beardmore. John
Brown Company, Harlan and Wolf
and score of smaller firms. goes on
continuously. Some warships are al
ways under construction, but normal
ly the bulk of the Clydebank ship
building goes to swell the great Brit
ish mercantile marine, nearly half of
which was built here.
Navy Comes First.
Today, as has been true since the
beginning of the war. the navy comes
first on the Clyde. Until recently
practically no work was done here
excepting for the navy. If the reader
who has seen the Clyde imagines,
however. that he can picture what is
going on here by thinking of war
ships on the stocks instead of freight
ers and liners. he will underestimate
the present rate OF construction by
several hundred per cent. For it is
not only the stocks in use in peace
time that today hold their growing
burdens Of steel.
Ships are being built all along the banks
on temporary stocks, so closely crowded
together that 1t might almost be said
that in many parts OF the river their
number is limited only by the amount of
waterfront, since each ship must be built
in a position to launch. And when
ship does take the water. 1t is the custom
on the Clyde today TO commerce her sue

Designers Kept Busy

Naval designers have been busy even
in this field II was quite noticea BILE that
many of the ships being built which after
the war will travel as ordinary merchant
men had features about them which will
make them extremely servicea Bile to the
navy during war time. Special devices
for mine sweeping and mine laying and
other devices still more closely connected
with warfare were to be seen, and I was
told that the admiralty is giving prefer
enCe in merchant construction to ships
which can be used as auNiliaries when
needed All the ships now building on
the Clyde, even the most harmless-loo
ing tramps. can only be built by perrnis-
sion of the admiralty, and the same rule
holds in every British shipyard. AS a re-
suit, no work at all is being done, or has
been done during the war. for neutral
shipping firms. All energy is concentrat-
ed on British need, and the needs OF the
allies
l understand that in some Of the other
great shipbuilding Centers. which I have
not visited. more merchant ships are be
ing built than on the Clyde. which has
until very recently been given over al
most entirely to naval work Merchant
ships which stood untouched on the slips
from the day war began are now being
hastily completed. 1t is recognized by
the admiralty that the shortage OF ton
mage is so serious that q freight steamer
has become valuable as a means toward
winning the war, no less than a warship.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-13
Speed n Big Factor.

To an American. viewing the incredible
number Of warships building on the
Clyde and rejecting, as was inevita BILE
upon his own navy. thoughts not alto
gether agreeable were bound to come
am in no way qualified or disposed to Of
fer criticism of our methods at home
but feel most positive that If the Brit
ish permitted the world to know any
thing Of what they are doing in warship
construction, very much more emphasis
would be laid upon speed in our new
ships. Above all. 1t is not enough now
to lay down ships as fast as those which
appear upon the published naval lists
OF foreign powers. The ships which
England tells the world about are al
ready out OF date" said A. H. Pollen. the
famous naval expert, in a recent con-
versa ton.
That remark came back to me on the
Clyde, when I remembered recent dis
cussions in the American newspapers
about some Of our new battleships, to be
the most powerful in the world. and some
battle cruisers, to be the most powerful
Of their class, which Congress is Just
now providing for. When they will be
laid down. I don't know. It is perhaps
correct to say that these ships are the
most powerful concerning which public
discussion has taken place anywhere.
But I trust the British censor will al
low me to say that l have seen British
ships building which vastly outclass
American ships which as yet are only
talked about as the biggest or most pow
erful or fastest ships of their class. l
should be angry II an Englishman said to
me, The British build first and talk
afterward, while you but l will not

favor of the workmen. On the day of
my visit work was going on as usual.
yet the day was a traditional local
holiday. There are no holidays on the
Clyde during the war. and work goes
on. day and night, week days and
Sundays.
In view of the terrific and continu-
Gus labor on the hundreds of ships
under construction, ] tried to get
some idea of the hours the men and
women workers are kept on duty.
The women regularly get one day off
a week, and work, as a rule, not more
than eight hours. and never more than
eleven, l was told. It has not been
found possible TO give all the men a
day OF week. and stories are told
of indispensable workmen whose alb
sence would tie up some whole de-
partment, working straight through
from the beginning of the war. twelve
or more hours a day. with only a few
days off in twenty-four months. The
working hours are unquestionably
much harder than American work
men would put up with. except in
such a crisis as this. but the men are
successfully appealed to on patriotic
grounds. They know that their lot
is easy compared to their friends in
the trenches. and they know that Bri-
tain must have ships.

effect of the battle of Jutland on the

Navy Yard. There are always a Ger

the highest possible level of output.
But one morning the men read OF a
fight in which we had lost seventeen
ships That struck them hard. l saw
the result next week when the curve
showing number Of hours Of time lest
through avoidable absence was plotted
on the chart 1t jumped up almost to the
perfection line. and a deputstion OF men
came to the office and said they wanted
US to know that the few fellows who
didn't show up the morning after the
battle news were too drunk TO under
stand that England had lost ships
which must be replaced. When they
sobered up and took in the news they
came back, too. OF course. the effect of
such news wears off: II does not last, un-
fortunately. until the new ships are in
commission: but such an incident shows
the mems hearts are right. We shall
treasure that chart"
1t would be misleading, in a story about
the Clyde, to give the impression that
only warships are under construction.
The submarine campaign last year. and
especially the more virulent U-bost war
this spring. coupled with the highly sat
lsfactory state Of the naval building
program, resulted in a resumption of the
building of merchant shipping on con-
siderable scale though not one approach
