international Mercantile Marine Com
pany, custodian of the vessel for the

chief of construction. 1t is planned
to have fifty lines of hose playing at
once over the ships superstructure and
rides. each throwing a heavy stream.
The water will be from the ships fire
pumps, on which steam has been kept
constantly Tor the two years she has
been laid up.
The readiness of the Levathan's fire.
fighting apparatus for use in emergency
saved the vessel on August "a when
the adjacent pier was ournsd, officials
said yesterday. Twelve lines of hose
were used by the crew. but they were
sufficient TO extinguish fires which
caught in forty places on the life boats
and upper works.

Ship Mer, Plan
New Services
To Philippines
Extension of Coasswise Laws
to the Islands Will EN-
ploy Thirty Additional
Steamers. Is Estimate
Prompt Action Expected
Will Win Back Traffic Now
in Hands of British and
Japanese ON the Pacific

Thirty to forty vessels now idle on
the Atlantic Coast will be placed in
service between the United States, the
Philippines and island possessions
when the ceastwise laws are extended
on February /. 1929, according to esti-
mates made by steamship officials yes
terday, 1t was said that while large
part Of the additional traffic which viii
result from the exclusion of foreign
vessels can be carried BY the regular
diners, q considerable number of me-
dium size freighters will be needed.
Ship companies are cooperating &C.
lively with the Shipping Board to de-
termine whether services to the Philip
pines and the islands are adequate for
the traffic and TO establish any other
lines necessary under the new law.
The board is proceeding upon the as
sumption that the President will make
the law effective, though no announce
ment has yet come from the White
House. 1t is understood in New York
that there will be no delay in apply
ing Section 81 OF the Jones act, which
covers this subject.
Thorough Inquiry First
The law gives the President author
fty to defer the section if he finds that
there are not sufficient steamship lines
at reasonable rates to accommodate the
freight and passengers. 1t provides
that it shall not be extended to the
philippines especially until this has
been established by thorough investi-
cation. w. ]. Love, vice president of
the Shipping Board, in charge of traf-
1c, said yesterday that the board was
convinced there need be no delay.
Other islands included in the scope
of the act are tie Virgin islands Guam
and Samoa. Hawaii is now covered by
the coastwise provisions, as the mer-
chant marine act repeais the permis-
sion extended during the war to ves-
sells OF foreign construction and for
eign Tegistry to engage in trade with
the United States.
Officials of steamship companies
SAID yesterday that at present Brit
lsh and Japanese vessels are carrying
more than half of the commerce be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippines. The transfer of this traffic, it
was said, would prove to be a great
advantage to the Barber Steamship
Company, the Pacific Mail and the Ad-
miral Line, the principal companies
operating to the islands.
Service from Atlantic Doubtful
There has been talk of the establish
ment of Il passenger service between
the Atlantic and the Philippines, but
it is doubted if this will be profitable,
chiefly because of the better time that
can be made by travelling overland and
by either the Admiral Line or the Pa
cific Mail from the Pacific Coast.
1t is understood that the Barber
lines plan additional cargo services
from the Atlantic Coat on regular
schedules. 1t is expected also that
many tramp vessels under the AmeA4-
can flag will be attracted,

For Greater Coast Trade
Additional sail;ngs Begun From
Boston and New York; Idle

The increased service has been ac-
complished by placing in operation the

have been tied up for several months.
Ihe fleet of the Savannah Line now
includes seven ships, four sailing from
New York and three from Boston. All
are vessels Of 5.d00 to $500 tons, and
