This work may be done either In a

by putting a kind OF coierdam around

The parts are then towed through
the canal and slowly down Lake On

How u. S. Cuts Lake Ships
in Two for Passage 10 Sea
BY FREDERICK VI. KERRY
N. E. A. STAFF Correspondent.
Passed by U. 8. Censor.l


BUFFALO, Aug. 5.-The most daring
Experiment in transferring Great Lakes
ships to the Atlantic. by cutting them
In two and sending the parts through
the Welland Canal, is now under way.
During the past year many such ships
have been cut and sent through, be
cause their length was too great to
nj the canal locks, but now a ship
that Is not only too long, but also too
wide for passage is to be sent through.
She Is the Van Hise, lake freighter
OF 5000 tons, 4s5 feet long and 50-foot
beam.
When the demand for ships. ships
and still more ships was made by our
Allies. It was decided TO send as many
Of the lake freighters to the Atlantic
as possible TO supplement ocean trans
port.
To get vessels past Niagara Falls,
they must pass through the Wellano
canal, connecting Lakes Erie and On
tarla, running through Canada parallel
with the Niagara river. This canal is
271s miles long and has % locks TO
step the boats down the 246 feet DIFF
ference in level between Erie and On
taria. Each lock is 270 feet long and
IS feet wide and can accommodate a
ship not exceeding Pei feet long and
l3h feet beam.
The large lake freighters-most val
liable as ocean cargo csrriers-were
too long 10 pass through, so lake ship
builders, in conference with officials OF
the shipping board. decided TO cut them
in two, bulkhead the two parts. and
take them through the canal sepa-
rately.
To ut a lake freighter for ocean serv-
ice means a complete overhauling and
