FIGURES OBTAINED BY
 US, SHOW DESTRUCTION . FOUR TIMES PRODUCTION
(By Associated Press Dispatch)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Figures now in possession of the government based the Allies best information show that since the beginning of Germanys ruthless sub marine warfare the destruction of allied merchantmen has amounted four times the amount of tonnage built
 The losses averaged 100O0O0 tons dead weight each month.
 Full realization of the success of Germanys ruthless warfare has been delayed because reports based previously weekly statements from London, which in turn, were based on the registered tonnage.
 Destruction of merchant tonnage hitherto available for the allied commerce for the time elapsed since the start of the campaign amounts to four times the tonnage built in the period
 Continuing at this rate the shipping of the world will in time be swept from the New shipping must be built at rapid rate or the submarine bases de- stroyed

TO BUILD SHIPS
At COST PRICE
Bethlehem Steel VIII Make Of
fer to Uncle Sam
BIDS ON 16 INCH NAVY SHELLS

No Chance For Profit In Them Under
Present Tests, Grace Says-PossbIs
Explanation Of the Prices Made by an
English Firm Which Bids Under All
American Manufacturer.
Speaking recently before the Terra
pin Club Of Philadelphia, Eugene G.
Grace, President Of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, said in part:
In a peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel
serves the American people.
For example, though we have been
able to obtain in Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, in our charges
to the United States Government, TO
the basis Of prices established before
the war began.
We aSrsed-if the Government would
abandon its plans for a Federal plant
to make armOr for our Navy at any
price the Government itself might con-
stdsr Ietr.
Our ordnance plants are at the dis
posal Of the nation at a fair operating
cost. plus o small margin, thus saving
the Government investment and de-
probation.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-01-27

Two years ago we took an order for
240C fourteen-inch armor-piercing shells
at a contract price of $685. 900, to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
Of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at certain velocity on i'm
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions Of the tests.
We had madelarge quantities of shells
in the past which had been accepted.
But in placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armOr-
plate. The result, however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro
duce in any quantity, shells which will
meet these novel tests. In fact, we
know of no process Of projectile-mak-
ing through which it is possible to pro-
duce in quantities shells which will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
contract Of $768, 1000, we have put into
actual operating expense $447, ,S81.. and
have been penalized for non-delivery
$495, IA, a total of $943, ,625.. with no
receipts whatever.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-01-27

Such was the experience in the light
of which we wereacalled upon recent
ly to bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mately the same rate per pound as
that of fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which the Gov
ernment awarded contracts.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-01-27

One Of the special needs of the new
navy is sixteen-inch guns-guns sixty
feet long and capable Of hurtling a
1000 pound shell with such power and
accuracy as to hit so foot square tar
get fifteen miles away.
We have undertaken voluntarily to
construct, at a cost of $4,500,0O0, a
plant fitted to build siXteen-inch guns.
Under no conceivable circumstances
can orders which we may receive for
this plant pay even a fair return on
the investment.
Considerable comment has been made
upon the fact that British manufac-
turer recently bid less than American
manufacturers for sixteen and four
teen-inch shells for the navy.
! am unable to state the basis upon
which the English bid was made 1t
should be remembered, however, that
this bid was for a specific shell, sam
plies of which are being sent over for
tesla test not yet made.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-01-27

We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making of
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
ty that it would be possible for us to
deliver a shell to meet the test.
For officers in the Navy TO assume
that any bid made under such condi-
tiOns is "exorbitant' is utterly unfair
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1917-01-27

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination Of our books. found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs Of materials and la
bor that made it possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap-
propriated by Congress on the basis of
the cost estimates made year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the inexorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates of the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"eXorbitant."
1t would be a real advantage to be
relieved OF this naval construction. The
profit from it cannot possibly amount
to much, and the responsibility is enor-
NOUS
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government
IF you will build two of the battle
cruisers in Government navy yards.
We viii build the other two at the as
certained cost Of building the ships in
the Government yards, without addi-
tiOnal expense or commissions of any
kind. We win also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead of
the Government ships"
