Cramps destroyers.
Only eight Of the American steam
ships, aggregating 52,32S gross tons,
are for passengers and cargo. the
larfest being the Mason Line steam
ship WAIKIKI, sol feet long. twin
screws, turbine engines and 10000
horsepower of 9,72S gross tons. for
the Hawaiian and possibly the trans
pacific trade. Two S,O00-ton passen-
ger and cargo steamship of II KNOTS

IA knots, for the Mallory Line; two
5.S00-ton steamships. 1S knots, for
the W. r. Grace Company, for trade
to the west coast Of North and South
America. and two coastwise steam
ships, $500 tons each, ~ 1-2 knots,
for the Savannah Line.
The remaining tonnage is almost
evenly divided between 70 steamships,
OF 496,13S gross tons, building espe-
cially to carry oil in bulk, and lis
steamships, Of 48S,637 gross tons,
building to carry cargo generally. The
use of oil as fuel for some years past
has been growing rapidly both on sea
and land.
The use of oil as fuel ON American
merchant steamships, especially on
the Pacific. is becoming general, and
in replacing merchant shipping de-
stroyed by the war both the belliger-
ent and the neutral nations will un-
doubtedly use extensively oil-burning
machinery. The increasing use of
oil as fuel for power in manufactur-
ing plants is generally known.
That half Of the tonnage of ocean,
cargo steamships building in the
United States is made up of 'tankers'
is thus an evidence of judgment in
anticipating the lines of development
of American trade as a purveyor of
modern fuel and incidentally a pro-
vision for one of the greatest future
needs of the navy. The American
merchant fleet already includes 1O2
tank steamships, Of 459,656 gross tons.

orchids, President Wilson and his bride

the German ambassador, and not the
entente diplomats, will be dined next
Monday evening.
Guest List Guarded.
Although the white House has guard
ed carefully the list Of quests to be en-
tertained at the two functions, II ts
stated in diplomatic circles today that
the diplomats from neutral countries
have been invited to both dinners.
The functions will tax to the utmost
the tactful qualities of the Presidents
bride. who, for reasons of state, cannot
afford to be any more gracious to one
set of diplomats than to the other. At
both dinners Mrs. Wilson will wear
stunning gowns. and for the dinner to-
night the President has presented his
wife with a beautiful bouquet of or
chids. her favorite flower.
Both dinners will be held in the State
dining room. at the west end of toe
White House, which, with its rich wal
nut pancling and trophies of the chase
will form a handsome background. The
menu tonight will be elaborate. The
United states Marine Band will furnish
the music.
Some of the Guests.
With the diplomats will be their
wives and, in addition to Ambassador
and Madame Jusserand, there will be
representing the entente powers the
Russian, British, Japanese and Italian
ambassadors and their wives, and Min
