UNITED STATES
IN FIRST PLACE
War Has Resulted in America
Becoming the Greatest
Maritime Power.
CAN REPLACE TONNAGE
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping
Board Declares American Yards
Lead World in Shipbuilding
Facilities.

Washington, March 25.-Chairman
Z. N. Hurley Of the shipping board
asserts shipbuilding facilities acquired
during the war have made the United
States the greatest potential maritime
power CT the world and VIII enable it
to outdistance all other nations in the
race toward replacing a shortage Of
16,225,000 gross tons of shipping lost
as the result of unrestricted German
submarine warfare and OF the failure
of normal increase by new production.
Mr.. Hurley made this assertion in
q report of his trip to Europe, where
for three months he was in close
touch with the shipping interests Of
foreign nations. The report will be
used in working out a policy of own
ership and operation of the American
merchant marine. e ..
Net Loss of 4.225.ooo Tons.
Mr.. Hurley estimated that in July.
1914, the sea-going steam bottoms OF
the world totaled 41,225,00 gross tons,
which was reduced by war to 37,000,-
600 gross tons, a net loss Of APPS, goo
gross tons. In addition, he stated,
there was a loss of 100000 gross
tons which would have been con-
structed if war had not stopped the
normal increase in production, max
ing total loss of 1925, 900 gross tons
The Allies and neutrals suffered a
total loss by enemy action, marine
risk and capture of 15,218,000 gross
Mr TJprloHy nd tyainnH hy
new construction and seizure of enemy
ships 900 gross tons, leaving a
net loss of 969. 900 gross tons. The net
loss to the Central powers was even
greater, since they lost 100000 gross
tons and gained only 100000, differ
ence Of 2,276,000 gross tons.
Only two countries, the United States
and Japan, have a larger amount of
tonnage now than when the war be-
gan. Japan showed a net gain of %
per cent, Mr.. Hurley reported, while
the United States jumped far in the
lead with a net gain of 125 per cent
U. S. Kept Forging Ahead.
The United States forged ahead as
rapidly as Germany fell behind" said
the report. In August, 1914, the
United States seagoing merchant
marine, 500 gross tons and over, in
cluded ga steamers, 1,758,465 gross
tons, and $40 sailing vessels and
schooner barges of 947,S52 gross tons,
making a grand total of 1,494 seagoing
merchant vessels of 2,706,S17 gross
tons.
''On Nov. IL, 1918, at the end Of the
war, the steamgoing merchant marine
had increased to 1856 vessels of A.
6S5,26S gross tons and the sailing YES
sells and schooner barges had de-
creased to TAT vessels of S29,917 gross
tons. making a grand total of 2,113

LONG ISLAND IS
STARTING POINT
Naval SeapIanes Are Preparing
for Flight Across Atlantic
Ocean,.
TRIP OCCURS IN MAY
Acting Secretary Roosevelt Orders
Destroyer Barney to Newfound-
land to Study Harbor Facili-
ties There.

Washington, March 26.-Naval sea-
planes which are to attempt a flight
across the Atlantic ocean in May will
start from Rockaway Beach, Long
Island, but the actual jumping off,
place will be much farther up the
coast, possibly at some point in New
foundland.
Whether the machines will steer a
direct course for Ireland or follow
the longer route, via the Azores, ap-
parently' has not yet been determined.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt an
nounced the destroyer Barney had
been ordered to proceed to Newfound-
land to investigate the harbor facil-
tiles in order to determine the best
place from which the machines could
put out for overseas and the harbors
in which landings could be made, in
event it became necessary for them to
descend on the voyage from Rock
away to the fight base.
Kaufman to Command Barney.
Lieutenant Commander ]. L. Kauf-
man will command the Barney, which
is one of the modern destroyers and
Commander P. N. D. Bellinger of the
the director of naval aviation and
Lieutenant E. F. Stone Of the coast
guard, have been detailed to make the
investigation. Unless difficulties with
ice foes are encountered, the Barney
is expected to return within 10 days,
when the officers will submit their
report at Washington.
In disclosing that the planes would
leave the naval aviation station on
Long Island, Mr.. Roosevelt said it
was regarded as preferable to fly the
machines to the base to be selected
for the flight rather than to trans
port them by ship. The aircraft will
be refueled and given a final tuning
up before they actually depart over
seas.
Several Machines Being Prepared.
Several machines are being prepared
for the fight and two or more very
probably will make the start. Three
planes Of the N. E. type have been
completed and a fourth is nearing
completion at the Curtiss plant at
Garden City, N. Y. Extensive tests
of the N. C. 1 have been made and
81 passengers were carried on one of
her flights.
Detailed plans of the flight are be-
ing carefully safeguarded and there
has been no intimation as to whether
the ships will go together or follow
different routes.

CONTAINS MERIT
Holland Foreign Minister Declares
in Favor of Plan for League
of Nations.
SCHEME NOT PERFECT
Netherlands Government Considers
Its Duty Lies in saluting Coming
of Society of Powers With
Great Satisfaction.

Amsterdam, March 26.-Jonkheer
Karnebeek, the foreign minister, made
the following statement regarding the
league Of nations:
THE Netherlands government, hav-
ing received an invitation to attend
the peace conference, while it is dis
GUESSING the league of nations, DR..
Loder, a member of the high court of
appeals, and Prof. w. j. M. Van Ely
singa of Leyden university, have been
sent to Paris in order to cooperate
with DR.. John London and explain the
views of their government in this mat
ter.
81 hold the opinion that the present
draft for a league of nations really de-
step to a period in the relations be.
tween nations, opening quite a new
channel for the development of the
mutual interests Of humanity.
However,, l am one of those who
think the equality of the rights of
nations, one of the most important
means for increasing the confidence of
the smaller powers in league of ma
lions, and feel that in this direction the
plan does not give entire satisfaction.
Nevertheless, l am much inclined to
believe that the present scheme Of the
league of nations will in no way him
der its future improvement and de-
velopment on a larger scale.
"At the same time it might be con-
sidered the duty of the Netherlands,
backed by their tradition of prosper
ing the work of international under
standing and international law, to sa-
lutte the coming of league of nations
generally with greas satisfaction and
without too much criticism"
