GREAT BRITAIN LEADS AMERICA IN
MERCHANT SHIP CONSTRUCTION

I ONDON, Eng, May 15.-Great
! Britain today has on her shipways
nearly half OF the tonnage under
construction throughout the whole
world. The United states is second.
and is steadily falling behind Eng
land.
Here are the worlds comparative
shipbuilding figures, as compiled by
Lloyd's up 70 April /.
Great Britain. 3,s94.OO0 tons; United
States. 2,573.000 tons; rest OF the
world, 1.974.000 tons.
To show how shipbuilding in Eng
land has come back" this table is
sufficient;
Britain's output IN 1913. 1.s20.442
tons; under construction today 1884,
0O0tons.
United States output in 1913. 4.075.-
385 tons under construction In United
States, 2,573, 900 tons.
Thus the United States today is
about 100000 tons behind Great Brit
ain. The United States yards are
building 535 vessels, as compared 20
England's SOS, Of which 237 are be-
tween 5000 and 10000 tons each and
81 are between 10000 and $1,000 tons.
Italy has increased tonnage under

at q high rate OF speed, and some
day solve the worlds transporta-
ton problem. according to Henri
Coznda- noted French engineer.
Coandas who Is well versed In svia-
ton, does not believe that airplane
travel can ever be made safe enough
to appeal to the general public. Travel
BY diriEibles viii always present some
elements OF danger, he adds, and viii
be too costly TO become popular. In
consequence he suggests the estab-
lshment OF great cable lines. con-
Meeting the principal cities OF the
world, from which trains OF cars the
size OF ordinary railway coaches, but
much lighter, viii be swung. with ca
pacity for several hundred passengers
each.
After Years Of Study.
The French engineer has spent sew
eral years studying the problem de-
voting himself principally to the
aerial cable lines used so much by the
Italian and Austrian armies in fight
ing IN the Alps. Tiny cars swung
from cables were employed to carry
men and munitions to and from high
mountain peaks.
Coanda suggests that these cars be

TO those Of airplanes, and that they
be equipped with motors which viii
drive them through the air at more
than 100 miles an hour, instead o.
having them drawn by moving cables
as on some OF the Alpine aerial roads
The cables would remain stationary
and insure the safety OF the passen-
gers in case the motors stalled.
Would Use Block Signals.
HIS scheme contemplates an elabo-
rate system OF sidings and block sig
nails similar 20 those in use on Amer
lean railways for his cable high
ways. The cables themselves would
be suspended from tall metal towers.
Coanda proposes that this plan be
given a trial over q distance OF 50
or so miles and he has written the
project OF the department OF the
Alpes-Maritimes soliciting his aid II
the experiment should prove success
ful he would ask the French govern
ment to erect an aerial cable line from

The Riviera officials, though
doubling the feasibility OF the scheme
IN other portions OF France, believe
that It may be successful in linking
up Nice and Monte Carlo with some

Coanda to determine the cost OF a
