T. NJ. Church, manager of the mer'

the privilege of seeing a crew OF %

EXPECT PACIFIC TO BE
DOTTED WITH SAILS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. IA
Local shipping men see a revival OF
the old sailing days on the PACING,
in the government s recent order, bar
ring sailing vessels from. the subma-
rine zones. This order practically
bars the Atlantic ocean to sailing YES
sells. except as far as the coastwise
and South American trade is con-
cerned -..f :
The Atlantic sailing ships have been
accustomed to big profits in the Eu-
rcpean trade the last three years.
While the risk from, submarines was
great, the usual freight receipts for
one trip amounted to about $125,O00,
and as the vessels only cost in. the
neighborhood Of 100000. the owners
could afford to take risks.
The coastwise trade does not offer
anything like these profits, so the local
shipping men figure that Eastern own
ers will send their ships in the Pa.
Cific trade and run between San Fran.
cisco and Australia and Australia and
the South Sea islands. This field is
said to be more profitable than coast
wise trading.
The government barred the sailing
craft from the danger zones because
their slow speeds made them an easy
prey to submarines. Also it is figured
that in entering other lines of trade
the sailing vessels will release steam
ers for transatlantic voyages.
