EFFECT OF THE WAR.

One of the incidental and uneXpect-
ed effects of the war has been the reg
toration Of the American merchant ma
rine. Old Glory again flies over ocean
commerce to the extent that 26 peg
cent of the exports for July were car
fied in American bottoms. A steady
Increase in shipping under the Ameri-
can flag has been noted since the war
commenced. says Omaha Bee. This
change was unquaStionabfy Stimu-
lated if not entirely brought about by
circumstances which removed the
great fleet of German commerce car
riers from the sea, creating demand
that only American vessels could fill.
At present the larger part of our ocean
traffic is carried between North and
South American ports, although the
flag once more flies over ships bound
awakening of this industry promises
much for our future. AS efforts will
be made to hold foreign trade after
the war, so will shipping be fostered
and not be permitted to fall out OF
American control again. Shipowncrs
have learned one great lesson Of pa
triOtism and may be expected to ap.
ply it, to the end that America will, in
deed, become the greatest among
maritime az among commercial and In.
duStriaI nations.
