Right-Hand Man-His Remarkable
Record in Uncle Sans Naval
Program.

Like another famous American
who, you will remember from your
school history, arrived in Philadel-
phia alone and friendless, and, with
his earthly possessions in bundle
under one arm, and a loaf of bread
under the other, was the target for
the amused smile of the young wom-
an who was to become his bride,
there came into that city at 8 o'clock
on an April night q years ago, a
young Irish immigrant boy. Only IL
years old, he had made the sea jour-
ney from Ireland alone, but, unlike
the other lad, friends of his mother
resided in Philadelphia, and to their
home he made his way. They took
him in and the real career of Joe
lyman began from that night.
But before we go into some of the
big things that Joe Tynan-Joseph
Fl. lyman is the name he signs to
checks and other things-has done,
we shall dwell little longer on his
early history. While he was yet a
small boy in County Tyrone, Ireland,
his father died and he was left the
sole support of his mother. He
worked as a mechanic in the mills of
his home county, but as he grew old
er and saw that the scope of what he
might accomplish there was extreme
ly limited, he announced to his moth
er that he was going to "the land of
opportunity
The very next day after his arrival
in Philadelphia the lad went down
along the Delaware River and got a
job with the old Philadelphia Engi-
neering Works. Four months later he
sent for his mother and establish.

of course, had been denied an educa.
ton, and to overcome this handicap
he attended night school at the
Franklin Institute in Philadelphia
for many years, absorbing all the
technical knowledge he could acquire.
Young lyman did not remain long at
the engineering works, nor at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, where
next he obtained employment. In
time he was to be found at the
Cramps shipyard, and this was the
pivotal turning point of his career,
for here he mastered the science of
shipbuilding, which by now he knew
was to be his work in life. He re-

ried Philadelphia girl of Irish de-
scent and they have three children
Margaret, Josephine and Joseph, Jr.
When the United States entered the
war Joe lyman was big man among
big men-that is to say among
shipbuilders, who are perforce big
men. he was at the top of the heap.
But the world at large probably new
er would have heard of him had not
the country's enormous shipbuilding
programmed before that the needs
of the Allies-given him an oppor-
tunity to do two outstanding things.
One of these was the launching,
on August 4, only "a working days af.
ter her keel was laid, of the 12,1OO-ton
steel commerce carrier, Invincible.
The other was the construction in
Canada of flotilla of submarines
which crossed the Atlantic and joined
the British and French fleets in the
war against Germany. The former
feat broke all worlds records in
shipbuilding and evoked from Charles
M. Schwab the remark that lyman was
'the greatest shipbuilder in America"
:, The submarines built under his sup
ervision crossed the Atlantic months
before the visit of the Deutschland
to Baltimore caused the Germans to
crow over what was then believed to
be an unheard of accomplishment.
The launching of the Invincible
furnished an incident which gives
happy insight into how Joe lyman
gets things done. At 1870 o'clock
on that hot August morning 1900
workmen their brows dripping with
perspiration, stood in the yards Of
| the Union Iron Works and cheered
like mad, for the last rivet had just
been driven into the great cargo car
rier. There was nothing to do until
noon, for the Invincible was not to be
launched until then.
! lyman had noticed that the big
hammers had stopped their pounding
and came out into the yard. whats
the matter, boys?" he asked.
A foreman reported that his men
were through and that they only
awaited the arrival Of noon to push
the big ship into the water.
"Well, the ships done; I won't
hold her back" said lyman, and gave
a peremptory order. Men began
knocking away the stays, a woman

ord, for now in every shipyard in the
land has arisen the cry: Lets beat
Tynan" Every shipyard employee in
the country, from heater boy to
yard director, is on tiptoes to bet
ter the feat, and whether they &C
complish it or not, the endeavors they
are putting forth serve the purpose
OF turning out new vessels for Uncle
Sam at top speed.
The keel of the Invincible was laid
on July and also was the occasion
OF considerable ceremony, at which
were present Mr.. Schwab and Vice
President Charles Piez of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. The prede-
cessor Of the Invincible on tina, partic-
ular way had been the Defiance, which
had been built in AZ days, a record
up to that time. But it was determin-
ed that the building of the Invincible
should see all previous records smash.

err had worked before, while picked
men were chosen to put her plates in
place.
EARLY in 1915 lyman took a picked
crew from the yard of the Union Iron
Works and stole away to Canada.
No one except Mr.. Schwab and a few
OF his associates knew whittier they
were bound. They proceeded quietly
to the yard Of the Canadian-Vickers
Company, five miles outside Montreal,
and there 5000 men worked for five
months, day and night, to rush ten
submarines for the Allies to compile
ton. 1t was largely through the ef-
forts of lyman himself that German
spies, who descended upon the place
in droves, were kept at distance.

lenged the admiration of the engineer
ing world.
Over $500 miles of roads have been
constructed on the mountains of Italy
and of Albania, and 1000 miles of
aerial cable railroads (Teleferiche)
have been built to carry food, ammu-
milton and guns over deep ravines.
Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure of the nation and the nature
and number of it's populations One
must remember that out of 80 100000
inhabitants in Italy at the beginning
of the war only 100000 were male.
This seeming disproportior is caused
by emigration, which was largely COM
posed of male adults. Out of those
100000 only 100000 were adults
economically productive. Consequent
ly the subtraction of the mObiliZed
forces has had an acute reaction on
the economic life of the nation. 1t is
estimated that on an average only 100
adults remained in each town or viii
lage to provide in each case for some
800 children below the age of fifteen.
Furthermore, the traditions of Ital-
ian family life render the work of their
women an economic factor of less i'm
portance than in some other countries,
though it has been utilized to the ut
most and is becoming more available
as old traditions give way to wars ne
cessity.
No Troops From Colonies.
Italy got no help from colonial con-
tingents. On the contrary, the scarcity,
of native troops in Italy's colonies
compelled the government to reinforce
them with troops from the mother
country. Nor has help come to Italv
through the cooperation of workmen
of neutral or allied countries. Italy.

tingent of skilled workmen to France.
thus allowing her to release valued
elements for war. Furthermore. near
ly 100000 of our male adults residing
in America gave to this great nation
direct contribution to her economic
and military efforts.
To meet their military obligations,
therefore, the italian people have been
compelled to cut into the most Urgent
needs of agriculture and industry. Her
continuous lack of labor has r,ade the
task Of feeding the army and provid-
ing it with munitions q most difficult
one.
And yet Italy, lacking labor and in
dustrial development, lacking almost
entirely coal and raw materials, has
by a miracle of energy been able to
create almost from nothing a power

Difficult to Obtain Goods.
The very act of entering the war cut

off Italy from one of the sources of
supply Of manufactured products. 1t
Is not necessary here to enlarge upon
the we'll known fact that Italian mar
kets were largely under the domination
Of Germany and Austria. That is
situation that is as we'll known to
Americans as it is and was distasteful
to Italians. And it might be said in
passing that it is a situation that must
be guarded against by allied co-opera
ton and sympathetic economic rela-
tionship when peace comes.
Mr.. Francis H. Sisson, vice presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust Company,
in recent article on the economic
situation of Italy points out that while
Germany before the war dominated
the foreign trade Of Italy so far as
manufactures were concerned, that
country was one Of the best customers
of the United States in raw materials
and foodstuffs. That writer also points
out that it was the adjustment Of her
industrial and commercial life to the
burdensOme new conditions that has
created an entirely new economic fab
rio in Italy.
"Italy's devotion Of her resources to
war purposes has been complete" says
Mr.. Sisson. "Her pre-eminence in the
production of certain articles of COM
merce marked her as the chief source
of supply for similar products of a
warlike nature. Her ordinary produc-
ton of automobiles, aeroplanes tur-
bines and heavy oil engines has mere
ly been intensified and modified in the
direction Of such q standardization as
would permit quantity production"
Financially Italy Responded Well.
Financially Italy also has responded
to the demands of war with an open
handedness that has surprised even her.
self. From the first of August, 1914, to
the end of 1917 the total expenditures
of the state were $685., 100000. Cal
culating on the basis of monthly aver
age expenditure for the war of $24O,O0O,-
600, the total cost of the war to Italy
would be more than $12,O00,00O,OOO.
A further proof of the financial ef-
fort Italy made for the war, notwith-
standing her small means, are the five
national loans. The first one yielded
about $20O,O00,O00, and it seemed
great struggle, yet still others were
launched, all giving greater returns,
and the last one, after the disaster
OF October, 1917, yielded about ST.

The blood and treasure of Italy We're
freely spent in the successful effort to
put Austria Hungary out of the war.
While Italy's efforts were not confined
to the Austrian front, her contribution
to allied success was greater here than
In the other places where her troops
fought the battle for civilization. Her
financial and industrial efforts have
been equal to her military effort, and
in all these directions Italy has not
Jagged behind her allies. That the
nature and extent of these efforts may
be better understood by the American
public, I wish to review them briefly.
In considering Italy's military con-
tributions, let me emphasize the fact
that her soldiers have not confined their
fighting to their own soil. Like those
of her allies, they have gone far afield.
They contributed largely to the glori-
Gus victory on the Balkan front. A
large contingent in France first gave
powerful aid in the defense of Rheims,
then took part in the advance of the
