us. SHIP WORK
Shipyard There to Build
Steel Vessels for American
Merchant Marine
ACTION AVOIDS DISPUTE
Four Craft, Aggregating 49,
900 Tons, to Be Constructed
at Shanghai

Contracts for the building of steel
ships for the American merchant marine
were awarded to a Chinese shipyard to
prevent any dispute with that nation. II
was learned today
Despite the desire to keep all steel
in this country for the building program
here, shipments to China for these ships
will continue
Last year an agreement was made
with the Japanese Government to sup
ply steel so empty shipways In japan
might be operated TO capacity.
Japan is now building forty-three
ships for the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion and is required to furnish two tons
OF shipping for every ton OF steel fur
nished. which allows Japan to use one
third of steel for her own shipbuilding.
Under this agreement China felt she
was slighted, as there were empty ways
in that country. Following intermit-
tent conferences throughout last win
ter and spring II was decided to- award
China contracts for four steel vessels,
aggregating 10000 tons.
The ships are being built at the
Kiangnan Dock and Engineering Works
at Shanghai Each vessel is of 10000
tons
Announcement Of the final awarding
Of the contracts was made this after
noon with the announcement OF the
signing of the contracts for thirty-two
other vessels now under construction In
F.. this country.
The other ships are distributed as fol-
lows: Long Beach Shipbuilding Com
pany, eight 8800-ton cargo carriers

DEADLY AMERICAN RIFLES.
Expert Rifemen i'll American Army
Show Europeans How to Use the
Rifle Effectively.

Paris, July 80 Correspondence Of
The Associated Press)-The effect OF
American rifle fire has been one Of the
great surprises to the enemy during
the recent engagements along the
front. AS a result the rifle is fast
coming back to it's own as the depend
able weapon for infantry lighting.
For a time its place was challenged
by the hand grenade and some CT the
English and French experts took the
view that the grenade would gradual
ly superseded the rife. Trench war
fare had accustomed both sides to the
grenade SO that the rifle was seldom
brought into use.
Even with the two weapons avail
able, the troops had become accus-
toned to use the grenade rather than
The rifle, and an enemy fugitive would
often be chased until his pursuer was
near enough to throw a grenade
when a rifle ball would have brought
down the fugitive from a distance. r.
All this has been changed, how
ever, by the open fighting of the
present offensive and the unusually
effective use the Americans have made
Of the rifle. General Pershing has
maintained from the first that the
rife was the indispensable weapon for
infantry, and while the grenade has
not been neglected, every An1rican
unit has been thoroughly trained in
rife practice.
Many Of the national guardsmen as
ri. >,it q
shots, winners in tournaments and
veterans Of the rife-ranges maintain
ed at home. These ranges have be-
come q notable feature Of the train
ing on this SIDE until the whole
american organization has become
specially proficient with the rife.
German prisoners all recount the
same story, that the greatest surprise
came from the impetuosity OF the
American troops, and after that that
the sweeping fire Of the American rifle
! caused the greatest CONSERVATION and
/ loss Accustomed to waiting for
grenade attack at close quarters, the
mass formations of the enemy were
suddenly exposed to concentrated rifle
ire at a distance, with every shot
| from a trained marksman who was
not blazing into the air but was pick
| ing out his target and sending his ball
! home.
This experience has fully sustained
the American contention for the
rifle as against the grenade, and
French and English military experts
are agreed in the enthusiastic ap-
proval they. give the Americans as
citile1nen and in the view that the
rifle has again demonstrated its right
TO be considered the paramount
weapon for infantry fighting.
