"The vessel contemplated In our de
sign is of the same size, dimensions,
and form as the 3,5O0-ton standard
wood ship, except that the sheer line
amidships has been slightly altered
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
wood ship has been provided prac-
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
cisco reports as follows:
1.-THE ship was constructed by 40 or
so 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
viii Ia all probability be completed in
month, when the ship will be at
once sent on long trial voyage.
1.-THE appearance of the Faith at
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 plSlnly visible
on close examination of tne hull, MAX
ing the ship appear very much as IL
she were built of lumber.
1.-The engines will be of the triple
expansion type. As this style pro-
duces the maximum vibration, the test
of the action of the vibration ON con-
crete construction VIII be thorough.
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
sideways In San Francisco. She
was not launched upside down, as is
popularity considered the manner in
which concrete ships are launched.
Small boats are usually constructed
inside down because of the ease in
cranking and in concrete ships be-
cause of the pouring Of the cement

WILL PUSH tx BILL
LEADER KITcHlN TELLS HOUSE
MEASURE is NEErz0.
Says Great Publishers Are RESPONSE
bic for Revenue Bill-tope to
Have Postal Tax Repealed.

Washington, May %. = Declaring
that he still was unconvinced that a
revenue biz is necessary at this ses-
sion Of congress, but that refusal to
pass such a measure would be misin-
terpreted in enemy countries. Claude
Kitchin. majority leader of the house,
told the lower body that he would sub
nit TO the wishes of the chief execu-
tive and steer the proposed tax bill
to final passage.
Kitchin charged that the great pub.
fishers of the country were responsible
for the revenue bill" He said that
they hoped thereby to obtain a repeal
of the postal tax which was laid on
them last session.
81 know their game" he shouted,
"and | tell you that if | am con-
feree on that bill there viii be one
man who viii never aid them"
Kitchin charged that the lobby
which the publishers maintained was
one of the "most powerful that ever
infested Washington hotels"
Representative Johnson of Wash
ington, himself a newspaper editor,
arose to question Kitchin, but Kitchin
refused to recognize him. As Johnson
took his seat. Kitchin added:
And / am watching TO see who
will aid the publishers in their game"
Kitchin said the publishes had at
tempted to have the postal rate law
repealed in the post office appropria-
ton bill, and had failed; ind had
then determined there must be new
revenue bill. When the revenue bill
was first suggested, he said, the great
newspapers" came out in leading edi-
torials for it.

salt water for three years is in prac-
tically perfect condition; nor has there
been any cracking of cement.
100000 Tons by August, 1919.
''This department has completed the
detailed plans for 3,500-ton concrete
cargo ship, and 1t is at work on plans
for Il 7.500-ton type. We estimate that
between $50 and 200 5,500-ton CON
crete hulls can be completed by the
end of this year if we start Immediate
ly, and that if the construction of hulls
of 1900 tons each commences by June
$50 can be completed by August, 1919;
that is approximately 100000 TONS"
what about concrete ship If at
tackled by a 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 a
bowl; it is tough. due to the re-en-
forcing steel"
How does the cost of the concrete
ship compare with that of steel?"
1.-The concrete costs about two
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 100000. On
the other hand, a cement ship plant
can be tuilt for $4,000. 1t may be
made SO as to be portable. The prin-
cipal machinery required Is mixer,
hoist, and a derrick. The time re-
qulred 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 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: 1t is con-
tinued night and day In order to ellmi-
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 materials used can be obtained in

THE steel used for the reinforcing
is of different character in so far as
its shape is concerned from that used

kinds throughout the country. re-en-
