First Concrete Ship
Slides From WAYS in
Nelu York Waters

The first concrete ship to be
launched in New York slid into the
blue water of Long Island Sound at
North Beach yesterday afternoon.
She is to be a hard-working barge,
dedicated to the unromantic task Of
carrying oil for the Standard Oil Com
pany, and for that reason no one
thought yesterday to christen her a
pretty name. Mrs. Herman Fougner,
wife of the president of the Fougner
Concrete Shipbuilding Company, broke
bottle of champagne across her bows,
and she splashed into the tide and was
at once towed to the Empire Ship Com
pany's yards without further celebra
tion.
The boat is 100 feet long and 32 feet
wide, with displacement of 800 tons.
1t has been three months in construc
tion, and Mr.. Fougner stated that it
cost less than similar sized barge of
either wood or steel. Six other boats
of the same size are now under way,
and plans are being made for the con-
struction of 3,500-ton boats.

Problem of Ships Too

Big Lake Steamers, Cut in
Half, Will Be Turned
on Edge

Transporting steamship 458 feet
long. 50.2 feet wide and with a depth
Of 25 feet through. a canal that is only
44 feet wide, accommodating a draft
of ID feet and an extreme length of
265 feet, with the cutting of the ship
in only one place, is problem that the
United States Shipping Board believes
it has worked out to bring from the
Great Lakes for war service the steam
ship Charles R. Van Hise.
The Van Hise is one of 100 vessels
which the United States took over on
the Great Lakes when America entered
the war. Ships Of the size of the Van
Hise-a 9,000-ton deadweight carrier
are needed; it was impossible to
widen the locks, and the engineers of
the Shipping Board were instructed to
solve the problem.
They met the problem by planning,
after the ship has been cut in two
amidship, 70 overcome the handicap of
length, to bulkhead up the two halves,
remove masts, tunnels and deck houses,
watertight the deck, place steel pom
toons one side of each halved hull, fill
the other side with water to tip each
half on one edge. This will give to
each half a breadth, measuring from
deck to keel, Of 25 feet, allowing suffi-
fent room to tow the section through
the locks.

Majority of the Committee
Said to Take Gloomy
View Of Situation
Bristol Fiasco to
Cost u. S. Millions
Ryan Puts Silence System
Into Force and Keeps
Programme a Secret
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Owinp to
the discovery of new material the sub
committee of the Senate Military At
fairs Committee, which is Investigate
ing aircraft matters, may defer its re-
port for two or three weeks. 1t is
known that a majority of the commit
tee entertains a rather gloomy view of
even the present status of the aircraft
programme, and what the whole COM
mittee may choose to do with a rather
pessimistic report remains to be seen.
One member of the committee re-
marked to-day that when one had fall
en- to the bottom of 2,000-foot shaft
he couldn't get any further-which was
the Senator's way of admitting that
there may be some improvement in the
situation.
A matter which is receiving much
attention is that of the tardy beginning
of the construction of night bombers
on large scale. So far as known, no
night-bombing machines have been
been completed. Many we'll informed
persons hold that large numbers of the
huge night bombers are the most i'm
portant contribution America can make
to military aircraft.
On account of the slowness and low
flying of the larger machines with their
tons of bombs they can only be used
advantageously at night, hence the
designation of them as night bombers
Trying to Choose Type
The first large contract for the Cap
roni type was not let until May anc
the first Handley-Page was not com.
pleted until July. 1t is assumed that
large contract was let for this type
following the successful demonstration
at the Standard works in Elizabeth
N. j. The delay has been largely due
it is said, to vacillation between the
Italian and British influence on our air
craft designers.
The Italian influence became para
