ONE SHIP A MONTH

The other day there was launched from the ways
Of the New York shipbuildinslc Corporation at Camden, N.
j., a %5,5oo-ton steel freighter which had been brought to
the launching stage in just ~ working days, a feat which
had never before been approached in the history Of ship
building. The work. also, had not been directed to the
mere making Of a record for launching, for the ship vas
said at the time Of the launching to be 90 per cent COM
plete, and it was expected to be ready for cargo in Is
days more. {
There has been confusion and there have been delays
i'm many matters Of war work. Some Of these things have
been unavoidable. Others have been Of q character
which reflects on the competence or good faith Of some
of the men who have participated in the work. There
has been a great deal Of criticism, and there has been
ground for no small part Of 1t. 1t is gratifying, there
fore. to note an instance of such splendid progress as was
made in the construction Of this ship. In it all the men
engaged co-operated to the limit, and they are worthy. Of
commentator. And this record was no sudden squirt, to
be followed by a letting down Of activity, for the ways
were scarcely cleared of this hull before the keel Of an
other vessel was swung into place, and the force is hard
at it in the effort to better the record.
Congratulations were sent by the president and 9TH
ers, including this from chas. NJ. schwab, director general
Of ship construction:
THE news will fly around the world that in twenty
seven working days a ship has been built in America,
something never before accomplished, and it viii be bad
news for Germany.
Washington deserves no credit for this accomplish
ment. The credit belongs to the workmen in this yard,
and I shall be the first to see that they get it. Boys. in
going around the magnificent shipbulding plants in the
Philadelphia district l have been struck with the energy,
loyalty. enthusiasm and patriotism Of the workmen.
mo better men exist anywhere in the world than
those in the United States. Go to it and see that the seas
are filled with American ships. See that your hearts
are filled with patriotism and say TO hell with the kaiser
every time you drive a rivet."
Mr.. Piez said that If every yard in the country does
as well the country will turn out 5000 ships this year,
three times as many as the submarines can sink" II
this record can be kept up, he said, the war will be over
IN a short time.

MORE THAN HALF A MILLION

For some time it has been taken for granted that the
United States had in 4 France more than half a million
men. In the statement which Secretary Baker made to
congress and to the country some months ago he said
that there would be 500, 900 American soldiers in France
early this year, and that twice as many more would be
sent before the close of the year If shipping could be OBJ
tanned to carry them. The promise of the first half
million. however, was absolute. therefore it was assumed
that all arrangements had been made for the transport
tation Of that number. ~
In the meantime events have forced the conviction
that there was urgent need for as many men as the Unit
ed States could. send. and as soon as they, could send
them. 1t has been stated that the force to be sent over
before the end Of the year would be very largely in ex-
cess of the number stated by the secretary, and it has
been assumed that the work Of sending the first half
million had also been speeded up.
Nj. Baker is now out with a formal statement to the
effect that our force in France now numbers more than
the promised half million, how much more, and how
long it is since the required number was passed, we are
not told. The fact is that the department has made good
on the estimate, and both the officials and the country
are to be congratulated on that fact.

FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION

The relation between food and transportation is a
most intimate one. Food may be produced in immense
quantities, but unless means of transportation are pro-
vided there is a shortage in one place and a glut in
another. This is particularly noticeable in the case of
perishable foods. the cost of transporting which is neces-
sarily high. When there is an actual shortage Of trans
portation. as there has been recently fruits, potatoes
tnd other perishables may be spelling in one locality and
be unobtainable in another. Such conditions are UNI
avoidable in a time of stress. but it should be. possible to
prevent most Of these inequalities in normal times.
Just now Europe is short Of wheat. The United
States has just about enough to provide for the con-
sumption Of her own people at the usual rate. But
most the only country from which she can hope to OBJ
wheat rations in order that we may divide with those
who must obtain from us or go without.
az At the same time, Australia has $50, 600. 900 bush
els of wheat more than her own needs. The Australi-
ans would like to sell this wheat, for they have use for
the money which it would bring. They cannot sell be-
cause they cannot deliver. There is not transportation
available to carry it to England. Consequently it must
lie where it is.
There is under discussion a plan to get this Austria
lian wheat into circulation. That plan is to ship the
wheat to the United States instead of to England and
have it used in this country. 1t has been suggested that
tonnage might be provided to carry the wheat to a Pa
cific port, and on its Importation into this country it
could form a part Of our general supply, while a CORE
spending quantity of American wheat could be released
for export across the Atlantic. Thus far the arrangement
has not been made, as, if it were otherwise feasible.
shipping cannot he spared just now for even the Pacific
voyage. .".5 N

AMERICAN NEEDS FOR ENGLISH CLAY

Most OF us think clay is something as common and
abundant as sand or gravel. Consequently it comes as
a surprise to be told by the shipping board committee
ON mineral imports and exports in Washington, that even
in this day Of great shortage Of ocean going ships we
have to import from England every year 200, 900 to
100000 long tons of clay. Last year we imported more
than 100000 tons over the ocean.
Furthermore, a great part of this clay comes over in
steamers loaded full and the rest in big steamers loaded
carrying capacity. These ships put into Fowey, Eng
land, for their freight. To get this clay on and of the
boats requires ten days on each cargo. An insignificant
percentage of the clay is shipped as ballast. This repre-
sents small lots loaded into big liners at Liverpool. But
it will be seen that the importation Of English clay con-
tsumes an important amount of ship tonnage measured
in days time lost because of natural delays incident to the
transport Of this freight.
Why do our manufacturers pay the high freight
rates now necessary in order to obtain an article like
clay from England? There is. as we all know, an
abundance of clay in this country. A great deal Of high
Erade clay is produced here, and of a character suitable
Tor pottery, porcelains and other articles which require
8c1ayss Of special excellence in their manufacture. But
not much over half of clay of this grade that our indus
tries require Is domestic. When war broke out in 1914
only q third Of it was domestic. We have not been able
ito develop and equip our deposits fast enough to make
these English clay imports unnecessary. In fact it is
whether we will pr9duce as much high grade
sciay In 1918 as we did in 1917. Our manufacturers want
~ clay but they can not get anywhere near as much as
akhey want The reduced output is due to railroad and
separating conditions and is not related to the character
sssH azs aof the deposits which are capable Of large pro-
.esction. ST.
Domestic producers do not mine their clay quite as
esstsaEly1 a. their Ensiish competitors. Nor is the domes-
83sis Sclay ~ uniform In character. II will not bring the
