Marshal Joffre a cataIonian.

Possibly with more a than the
v claimants to the birthplace Of
Homer, Catalonia makes out a good
case for asserting that Marshal Joffre
belongs to her by right Of birth. The
great estopper of the German first Of
fensive is a native Of P%erpignan,
where the Catalonian race FREEDOM
mated in past ages and where today
are found many families which still
retain Catalonian customs and Ian
guage. Leading business firms Of
Catalonia, seeking to establish a tangi-
BILE claim, have appointed a commit
tee which is to proceed to Paris and
present a sword to the great warrior,
unless he fulfill a promise made at
the peace conference that he will visit
Catalonia, in which case the presenta-
ton will be made at Barcelona. This,
Of course, would be the occasion of a
great celebration.

UNITED STATES
SHIPPING SHOWS
Great INCREASE

London, Aug. 31-According to
Lloyd's Register of Shopping for
192O-21 just issued, the seagoing ton
mage of the United States apart from
Great Lakes shipping, has increased
since 1914 by over, 500 per cent and
now stands at 12,4o6.00o tons. Thus
the United States comes second only
to the United Kingdom which has
1911, 900 tons.
Japan, which in 1914 took sixth
place, is now third, with 900
tons, closely followed by France, with
1861 900 tons.
Including sailing ships, but ex-
GLIDING tonnage on the Great Lakes,
the United States now owns "a per
cent. of the worlds tonnage, as
against AT per cent six years ago,
the Register states.
The figures shown for the former
1y belligerent countries include a
considerable amount of enemy ton
mage Professionally a11ocated to those
countries. Germany, which in 1914
occupied, after the United Kingdom,
the first position with over 100000
tons of shopping, now only owns
$4,000 TONS
The steam tonnage owned by the
municipal maritime countries in
June, 1920, tota1led 53,905, 200, an in
crease Of s,501,o00 tons as compared
with June, 1914; but it is computed
that the worlds net loss in shipping
through the war, taking into account
the suspension in normal shipbuild-
ing activities. amounts to So 5000
tons.
There is a reduction in sailing ton
mage since pre-war days of GA, 900
tons, a much smaller decrease than
in any previous six year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the
Register, by the shortage of other
tonnage having given new life to the
construction of sailing vessels. The
United States, the only country which
has increased sailing tonnage since
1914, now owns over 43 per cent. of
the worlds sailing tonnage.
