What One Knot Faster Would Mean

"For every soldier that we land in
France" says the Scientific American.
''25 tons of shipping must pillow back
and forth at steady ten knots to
supply his needs alone. For 25.OOO
men this means 100 ships-a number
that we would be hard pressed to find.
And this means curtailment Of the
vital supplies to our allies.
"Now, could the average speed Of
this fleet be raised to IL knots and
could the time in port be reduced 10
per cent, we could release for other
service some 10000 tons of shipping.
In other words, we could create inn
mediately that amount of extra ton
mage and add it to our merchant ma
rine. not in 1918 but today. And to-
day may be the day, the real Day. the
day the balance will spring."
