Supply and Use Of Puipwood.

The total pulpwood consumption in
the United States during 1917 IS esti-
mated by the Forest Service, Cd the
basis of reports made by the pulp
mills, at 5,53e,sO2 cords, an increase
of approximately 6 per cent. over the
1916 figures Not all the mills have
yet made their returns. but the fig
ures Of the preliminary estimate are
not expected to be materially changed
when the final compila lions are COM
pleted. In 1917, domestic spruce
formed 45.S per cent. Of the total, as
against 45.9 per cent. in 1916: i'm
ported spruce formed lis per cent. in
1917 and 1o4 per cent. N 1916
Wood pulp production in 1917 is
estimated at 3.464.511 tons, as COM
pared with 3,271,310 tons in 1915.
The 1917 production included 1893
7O4 tons of mechanical rulp, 1,46s,396
tons of sulphite pulp, :21671 tons of
soda pulp, and 1910 tons of sui
phate pulp.

all other parts are being made to
standard patterns at many steel
mills and fabricating plants and
foundries. Building at the shipyards
is a process OF assembling.
This means a production Of ocean
tonnage at a rate never before
thought Of as possible and never be-
fore deemed necessary. 1t is guam
tity production of ships as NJ. Ford
established quantity production of
automobiles. 1t is sacrifice of in
dividual character in ships for great
er carrying capacity regardless of all
other considerations. Once the de-
sign has been drawn ard the mani
fold patterns made for the various
parts, production can proceed with
unexampled rapidity. l. is now to
proceed in this case with speedy re-
suits in broadening The bridge to
Pershing across the Atlantic.

ships and shipbuidins has always
EnGlanders. in fact Americas first
ship was launched at the mouth of
inc konnehec river in Maine about
the time the settlers were having
their first meal on NirEinian soil at
jamestown. Comes nov radical
change in ships and shipbuilding
that, while necessary and not to be
deplored, will leave a little pang of
regret in the New England heart.
That is the loss of ind, duality in the
standardzinC of the craft. Many a
Sailorman has been able to recognize
scores of vessels as far as the eve
could detect them at sea by their in
dIvidual features. VIII scores to be
turned out from the same pattern
this will rapidly become an impossi-
bility.
The New York World SAYS:
individuality has always heretofore
been as persistent in tie fashioning
and construction Of sEips as in the
building Of private dwelling houses.
To give to the new vessel some dis
tinguishing feature against any other
vessel, as in outward Ines or inner
arrangements either for speed or
bulk or for passengers or freight, has
been as prevailing in purpose as has
been mems thought of a ship as
living thing.
This is what makes Il notable event
of the launching in Newark Bay to-
day OF the first of the standardized
steel ships being built by the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation. There are to
be $50 ships Of the particular type
and size Of this first one. which Mrs.
Wilson has named the Agawam
They are TO be of $500 tons dead
weight carrying capacity and are all
Of equal length and beam AMI ap-
proximate speed. Their plates and
