SCORE BIG IN LAUNCHINGS.
American Shipbuilders Exceed Ex-
pectations in july 4 Efforts.

American shipbuilders surpassed al
expectations in the Independence day
drive for new tonnage. the late re-
ports of the shipping board showing
that the merchant ship launchings
numbered ninety-flve. with a dead
weight tonnage Of 474.464.
Workmen planned to launch 1886
deadweight tons. Though the actual
launchings were eighty-two. eleven
others were held up by a freshet in
the Columbia river apd two others
stuck on the ways. They are expected
to be released without great delay.
July and August launchings will
probably show tremendous increases
as compared with preceding months
because Of the Independence day
launchings. Machinery Is beginning
to come through for the wooden hulls,
many Of which have been delayed aft
er launching because of the lack of
engines.
