British Expect Boom
lin New MOtorships
Contracts for Diesel Vessels
Outnumber Those for
Steam Engines

Shipbuilders in Great Britain are
confident that the expected revival in
shipping will show much larger de-
mand for motor ships than for steam
ers. The outlook for Diesel-engined
vessels is declared to be more hopeful.
According to writer in Motor
Ship recent orders for steamers have
been negligible, while contracts have
been placed in the last few months
for sixteen motor ships. Of these, nine
are being built in British yards. 1t is
said that during the depression in
ocean transportation Diesel ships have
proved their superiority over steamers
on most routes.
A heavy demand for new tonnage is
predicted in Britain when the depres-
sson is broken. The English mercan-
tile feet is now scarcely larger than
in 1914, while vessels aggregating
100000 gross tons are over twenty
years old and are accordingly obsolete.

Japan Advertiser" of June 80, 1922.
Among these are orders for five
submarines, one light cruiser and two
naval special service boats, in addi-
ton to orders from the railways for
112 locomotives, 200 passenger and 252

Danes Patronize Germany

Danish newspapers report that a
large number of ships are being sent
to Germany to be repaired. 1t IS said
that the shipyards at Hamburg, Kiei
and Lubbock will have to carry out re-
pairs for Danish account amounting
to 100000 marks.
The Danish merchant feet on July
detailed $4,000 gross tons. The
amount Of idle tonnage was renorted
by the Danish Ship Owners Associa-
tion on that date as 1886, compared
with 25S,267 on January Is of this
year. Ships unders construction on
Jaly were $4,000 tons.

NEW ESKIMO TRIBES FOUND.

Five Eskimo tribes who had never
seen a white man were found in the
northern part of Baffin island. Knud
Rasmussen, Danish explorer, reported
that these were inland tribes, primitive
and decidedly inferior to the Eskimos
of Greenland, which strengthened the
theory held in Denmark that the Eskimos
are Indian tribes that became lost in the
northern wilderness. On the appear
ance of the explorers the Baffin island
Eskimo8 hurriedly ma their women and
children and prepared to give battle, but
when Rasmussen spoke to them in the
came very friendly and hospitable. Ras-
mussen collected a valuable store of
legends and folklore. The climate en-
countered was more severe than thac
of Greenland, the temperature being
50 deg. c., or 122 deg. E., below zero.

erab,e falling OF during 1929. Al
though the football squad did come
back and end the season by deing

league certainly was not ~ severe
as was the case when Rock Island
