OUR BOYS ARE THERE.

Press dispatches an
nounce That the Thirtieth
Division is now in the
trenches and actively en-
gagged in the fighting. In
this division is the 117th
Infantry. There are more
Greene county boys in this
division possibly than any
other now in France. To
the mothers and loved ones
of these boys this will be
: sad news, but such is war
' and we must all hold onto
ourselves with on iron grip
: with the knowledge that
: they are a brave bunch
= and will acquit themselves
like soldiers. It would be
= good if these boys could
know Of the prayers going
up for them today. In our
minds eye we can see each
OF them as they were while
among us, and we have not
the slightest doubt but
that they will make good.

100000 Tons by August, 1919.
This department has completed the
detailed plans for 3,5O0ton concrete
cargo ship. and it is at work on plans
for 1,5OO-tOn type. We estimate that
between 80 and 200 3,5OO-ton con-
crete hulls can be completed by the
end of this year if we start Immediate
ly, and that if the construction of bulls
of 1880 tons each commences by June
go can be completed by August, 1919
that is approximately 100000 tons"
What about concrete ship if at
tackled by submarine?"
"A torpedo would blow a hole in a
concrete ship just as in any other kind
of ship, but it would not crack the
hull, as some seem to have thought.
The concrete is not fragile IKE q
bowl; it is tough. due to the re-en-
forcing STEEL"
How does the cost of the concrete
ship compare with that of steele"
thirds as much. Concrete ships can
be built in much larger numbers than
ships of steel or wood mainly because
the concrete vessels do not require a
large plant installation and because
the material is readily available. Even
small steel plant costs $5OO.OOO. On
the other hand, cement ship plant
can be built for $4,000. 1t may be
made so as to be portable. The prin-
cipal machinery required is mixer, a
hoist and e derrick. The time re-
quired to complete concrete ship is
practically the same as that in we'll
organized steel yard, from two to
three months.
THE ways used for a concrete ship
are the same as those for other kinds
of ships. The first step is to build the
outside form, or mold. which Is Of
wood. The reinforcing steel is then
placed in position. Next the interior
form is built. Then comes the pour
ing of the concrete into the form. No
interval is permitted in this; it is con-
tinued night and day in order to elimi-
nate joints as far as possible. This
operation requires several days. Three
or four weeks are given for the con-
crete to age Then the forms are
removed, and the ship Is ready to pc
launched. Thereafter comes the in.
stallation of the machinery.

The vessel contemplated in our de-
sign is of the same size, dimensions
and form as the 3,5OO-ton standard
wood ship, except that the sheer line

and no outer keel is fitted. The gen.
eral arrangement follows closely that
of the wood ship, including the num-
Der and location of the bulkheads. The
prOpelling machinery designed for the

tically without change in the concrete

Faith Built in Crude Plant.
A representative of the Emergency
Fleet corporation who witnessed the
launching of the Faith at San Fran
The ship was constructed by 40 or
90 house carpenters, and the lack of
machinery Of the plant was especially
noticeable. A small power saw, the
concrete mixer. a pile of lumber and
another of gravel seemed to be the
only implements and materials in the
yard.
The installation of the machinery
will in all probability be completed in
month, when the ship will be at
once sent on long trial voyage.
THE appearance of the Faith at a
distance is very little different from
that of any steel vessel of the same
dimensions. She has been designed
to carry 5000 lightweight tons. and
steel ship of the same dimensions
probably would not carry more than
5000 lightweight tons. The ship is
painted black, and the imprint of the
mold of the vessel is plainly visible
on close examination of the hull, MAX
ing the ship appear very much as If
she were built of lumber.

This seems to be the only uncertainty
yet remaining to prove that the con-
crete construction of large ships is
wholly feasible. The Faith is the
first vessel that was ever launched

was not launched upside down. us is

which concrete ships are launched.
Small boats are usually constructed
