BUILDING GREAT
AMERICAN Navy
Fleet Will Total 1921 Vessels,
Including 40 BattIeships,
July !, 1920.
REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Statement Is Prepared by Rear Ad-
miral Griffin, Chief Of Bureau of
Steam Engineering, for
House Committee.

Washington. Dec 9.-According to
statement prepared by Rear Admiral
Griffin, chief of the bureau Of steam
mittee, just made public, the Amer
ican navy will number a total of 1921
vessels, including 40 battleships and
329 destroyers, July 1. 1920.
This statement shows that when
war was declared there were 1854 ships
in the navy, while on Nov. /, 10 days
before hostilities ceased, there were
TIT, exclusive of privately owned
yachts and other vessels taken over
for patrol service.
The greatest increase was 800 in
submarine chasers. The increase in
destroyers was Al, to total of 80,
and that of submarine from A to 70.
Only two Eagle boats had been
completed Nov. 1. Ninety-eight 9th
ers were contracted for, but Rear Ad-
nliral Taylor, chief of the bureau Of
construction and repair has informed
the committee, it became known, that
the Navy department has given orders
that only 60 of the vessels be complet-
ed. Keels for 80 of the Eagles have
not been laid, but material for most
OF them has been fabricated.
Only two battleships were added to
the fleet during the war and only one
will be added between this time and
July 1, 1920, Admiral Griffin said. Six
others, however, actually are under
construction, and two, the Tennessee
and California, are approximately half
completed. Work on three others is
yet to be started.

mittee that contracts are yet to be
placed for 29 ships which have been
authorized. They include two battle
ships, IL destroyers, 10 submarines,
two destroyer tenders, a repair ship,
a transport and a submarine tender

Fair EXCHANGE.

United States troops in France have
found two short cuts to the friendship
of the French Poilu when he hap
pens to be their neighbor in camp or
in the line. They are flour and tobacco.
The United States soldiers, it should
be explained, are supplied with excel
lent white flour, from which they make
palatable bread almost as good as
cake. Yet, curiously enough, they pre-
fer the darker and very much coarser
article served out to the Frenchmen,
to which the latter apply the de-
scriptive name Of "bran ball" There
is, it need hardly be said, no difficulty
in arranging an exchange. AS to to-
bacco, the Yanks enjoy an unfailing
supply Of it-"United States tobacco
that smells Of honey" as a French
soldier puts it-but he is willing to
swap any amount of it with his French
comrades.
