When rehabilitation takes place at
the close of the war the United States
will be the largest owner of steamships
among nations, with an overseas trade
to every part of the world. The ex-
pansion Of our production, to meet
war needs, will supply surplus of
stuffs for export. America will have
the ships, and there will doubtless be
a strong demand for raw materials

She Must ind
Cargo Where 1t Is

ramp steamers perform 20 per cent
of tha international carrying trade
This is largely due to the fact that
but few ports of the world have Il
large trade made up of wide variety
of articles to be shipped in fairly even
quantities throughout the year In the
vast majority of the many hundred
ports upon the world ocean the bulk
of the commerce is limited to a very
small variety Of articles, often a single
article, and that again is often shipped
during only a part of the year-most
likely raw product. cheap and heavy,
which must be carried at IS low rate
as possible. North America sends
across the Atlantic more than twice
as many tons Of freight as Europe sends
back; China and Japan import more
than twice as much in bulk as they
export; and the Dutch East Indies, the
west coast Of South America and the
Pacific coast Of the United States all
export more than they import As a
consequence, the tramp steamer can
not EXPECT TO secure cargo both ways
and run regularly back and forth en-
the same route. She must, to be profit
able, pass over the route in the direc-
ton OF the heaviest freight movement
The worlds freight, of course. can
not be carried without sending vessels
to places where there is no return
cargo but the fewer the voyages of
this character the greater the profit.
Lacking cargo, the ship must take bal
last, but rather than do this the tramp
vesse! can afford to carry bulk cargo
very chcaply, and 50 it happens that
coal and other products are carried as
ballast substitutes at or even less than
the cost Of running the ship Again.
there is the question of fueIling; be-
cause a ship, if she coaled in sufficient
quantity to take her great distance.
would have little room left over for
cargo. she loads with small quantities
of fuel, which she procures at coaing
stations along her route. according to
the relative costs of coal at these
ports.
AS typical example of the course
taken by the ordinary tramp steamer,
that of a British vessel leaving Emlen,
Germany, with cargo, on November 10,
1911. and returning to Cardiff, Wales,
on February 9, 1914, is of interest.
During the two years and three
months of its trip the tramp stopped at
nine ports TO coal and at fourteen to
load or discharge cargo. This does not
ire ude various ports on the Java coast.
v'hicn she went around loading sugar,
during one month; nor ports on the
lna,a coast, coal trading, during six
months. From five Of the fourteen

CAR MAN FREED

or tickets.
Hollinger admitted that he knock
ed Tuition down several times and
witnesses for the state and the police
officer who arrested Hollinger stated
that Tuition was lying unconscious

railway line who claimed that they
witnessed the fight claimed that Tut
ton struck Hollinger first.
Hollinger's story was that he be-
came i'll and rushed into a nearby
saloon. On his return he admitted
that he bought a glass Of whisky
and complained of the service that
the company was affording passen-
gers. This remark, he claims, an
gered Hollinger who knocked him
unconscious at one blow and pro-
ceeded TO beat him up.
