Two mammoth steel freight steam
ships, products Of the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation, are now
floating in the Potomac moored to
the concrete piers at that plant.

the water February q, and is about
to make her first trial trip. The
second (the Betsy BelD glided into

latter is fac-simile of the first.
Two more freighters of the same
pattern and carrying capacity, are
approaching completion, while the
keel for the fifth has been laid and
a considerable portion of the basic
work completed.
As was the case when the Guns
ton Hall was launched, this has
been a gala day in Alexandria.
Thousands of people gathered at the
shipyard and on the adjoining hills
this afternoon to. witness the launch
ing. Automobiles virtually blocked
the. streets leading to the plant.
The Betsy Bell glided into the river
as easily and as majestically as did
the Gunston Hall, amid hurrahs and
rejoicing. Thousands Of strangers

THE HARMLESS SUBMARINE

During the past few days many
Alexandrinas have visited Washing
ton for the purpose of examining
the German submarine (U-11D now
berthed at the foot of Seventh
street. A year ago this monster OF
the deep was lurking off the Virr-
ginia capes, causing no little anx-
iety to Alexandrians and people OF
the capital city.
Lincom's cabinet in the early part
Of 1862 believed the appearance OF
the Merr:mac in the Potomac to BE-
possible, and it is said Z. NJ. STAN

he jumped up while at cabinet

The appearance of this German
Submarine in the Potomac brings to
mind the arrival here in 1865 of the
Confederate ram Stonewall. This
marine monster of its day had
caused almost as much apprehen

been declared. and the Stonewall
