Notwithstanding of the steel

which showed a steady upward trend
since the first of the year.
In February II vessels of 120,700
tons were completed and put into SER

of January, admittedly a bad month,
when only none vessels, with a total
tonnage of 1854. were delivered.
March deliveries, at the present rate,
are expected to reach % vessels, of

Launchings have more than kept
pace with deliveries, 16 ships of 49,
500 tons having been put overheard
in January and Is of 1890 tons were
launched in February. During March
it is expected that 80 vessels with a
tonnage of 22O,591 will be sent down

Each Battle Plane
After three years of warfare the
total number of airplanes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been
over $500. Each plane in the air re-
quires force of 46 men, two re-
placement planes on the ground, and
one training plane for every pilot who
eventually reaches the front, with an
extra engine for each plane.
The life of a plane is not more than
two months, and the engine must be
overhauled after each rs hours. Now
that American battle planes are going
overseas, the great problem is to Sc
cure the thousands of skilled mechan-
les, enginemen, motor repair men,
wood and metal workers needed to
keep the planes in perfect condition.
This engineering and mechanical force
at the airdromes, the flying fields. and
repair depots, both here and behind
the lines in France, is vital industrial
