maritime race for speed and business as has
not been witnessed since the World Wal.
How far the Bremen will go to revolutionize
ship construction remains to be seen. Built
somewhat on the sea-sled design, which has
given to motor boats their marvellous speed.
there is much opinion to the effect this new
mistress of the deep will bring. about a change
in ship construction. How much? To glide
over still water in a skid-bottom is one thing
and to pillow the deep, meet storm and wind
and wave in it Is another. The Bremen
initial trip across the Atlantic was a speed
triumph, but will her seaworthiness prove
steadfast in all kinds Of weather, rough,
tumultuous, raging? If so, then may there
be expected among ship companies orders for.
vessels to ply the deep built after the design
of the Bremen.
And this is going to prove a costly thing to
the shipping world. For. in the first place,
there must be a lot Of junking. To be In
the fashion companies must have new ships
in the latest style and appointment. Ships
like the Leviathan will go the way of all ships
that have served their day.
And even here will not be the end. For
what is of more usefulness in war than speed?
The ship that can outrun its enemy will live
to fight another day and on that day on its
own terms, perhaps. Battle cruisers that are
now the last word in fighting craft may to-
morrow be as worthless as the steel in them
unaSSembled for fighting If the Bremen has
opened a new door to ship design. In that
case, it has been pointed out, it is perhaps
well that the United States has got no fur
tner with its cruiser program than blueprints.
Tomorrow the whole cruiser hull pattern may
be changed. And destroyers and subs?

Mt the same time that Germany is not 60

Pre-war Germany is back on the job vim

Germany's entire merchant marine with the
exception Of vessels under 1900 tons was wiped
out by the war. Even some of these were
demanded of her. From the second largest
merchant fleet in the world in 1914 to the
smallest of the great powers in 1920 is the
history of German merchant marine decline.
From 5,o0O,o00 tons in the former year to,
1000 in the latter-that is the story. And
from 10000 tons in 1920 to 1900, 900 tons.
in 1928 that is the story of the late mer-
chant marine rise of Germany. And at the
head of the great comeback fleet proudly
steams the Bremen. She rides 938 feet long,

for 1900 passengers. She carries "a lifeboatS-

commodating las persons each. And on her

twelve 500 horSepoWer motors and has lux
urious accommodations for 100 passengers. In
test flights on the shores of Lake Constance
it took the air in twenty-eight seconds, it's
6,000-horsepower motors launching it into the
sky a spectacle to stir the imagination of
man.
And the Bremen-Germany's new ocean
greyhound through which she has staged one
of the most spectacular maritime comebacks
by a nation ever witnessed in history.
Crossing the Atlantic in 4 days II hours
and AZ minutes, the Bremen laid forever in
its grave the 22-year-old record of the Maui
retania for Atlantic crossing speed. Eight
hours and ffty-two minutes came off the
MauretaniaS record.
WHAT do these performances mean? Let
~ them be analysed. Primarily the per-
Torrance of the Bremen means speed rivalry
on the Atlantic with possibly the development
of new ship design. For where is the steam
ship company that will stand idly by when
the passenger world Graves speed and watch
another company satisfy that longing. not
only to its W glory but to its profit as well?
Safely may be it said none exists.
Following the performance Of the Bremen,
therefore, We find the ship companies of the
Old and the New World stirred to their depths
and laying plans for meeting the German
owners of the Bremen upon the sea of an
cient rivalry.
Millions may now be expected to be poured
out-the Bremen cost between SIS, 600, 600 and
5000 ,000-by ship companies in an effort
to surpass the Bremen. French owners of the
lie de France are expected to dig deep in
their pockets for francs with which to build
a topping ship and Italy has cast the Conte
Azzuzio into the maelstrom. Not to be out
done the United States Lines are contemplate
ing two ships with which they hope to cap
ture the speed honors of the world. And
England-let it be understood that the Mis-
tress of the Seas will not for a moment lie
down in the projected warfare. The next
few years will see on the Atlantic such a

~ AS Germany opened the door TO a
new era in air and ocean travel?
- With a world cruise to the credit
of the Graf Zeppelin, a new record
for Atlantic passage affixed to the
Bremen and the Dornier plane meeting all ex-
pectations are we destined to see within the
next few years a revolutionary turnover in
plane and ship construction?
Are We to see ocean greyhoundS faster than
ever before conceived, airships and Zeppelins,
while. not breaking speed records, at least
breaking all passenger-carrying records and
records for mctor-drivsn machines?
If the human race has demanded one thing
in the past 10 years it has been speed. Speed.
speed, speed and more speed. Speed on the
land, in the air, under the sea. 1t may not
know where it is going, as the old saying
ambles, but 1t does know this: it wants to get
there before anybody else does. Hence speed.
We build fast airplanes and then some one
conceives of a faster and when that is built
there are dreams Of a faster one.
The first trip of the Graf Zeppelin across
the Atlantic Ocean from FriedrichShafen to
Lakehurst was in the nature of a trial per-
Torrance. The world stood expectantly by
with polite and complimentary remarks on
the tip of its tongue for the success of the
venture. The performance was regarded hope
fully, but With marked conservatism as to
utility. 1t was all right, but and if
e. Now that the Graf has successfully circum-
navigated the world, and has to its credit,
in addition to this gigantic feat, two sue
.ceSSful passenger and freight crossings of
the Atlantic from Germany to America and
return, it has become unquestionably appar-
ent that it is in the world to stay-a lighter
than-air ship CT great future commercial and
passenger potentialitieS.
But if the Graf Zeppelin has opened the
door to realization of dreams of man in the
matter of air transportation in lighter-than-
air sky craft, what must be thought of the
Dornier plane and the Bremen?
The Dornier plane is a flying boat surpass-
ing anything yet attempted by man in the
way of size and passenger-carrying capacity.
Reports from this new plane are to the effect
that it has surpassed all expectations of all
the estimates of its capabilities advanced by
its builders. 1t has a wing spread of 157 feet.
Its length is 149 feet and it weighs in the
neighborhood of SO tons. It is powered by

BUILDING CONDITIONS

Building operations in New Brit ein during October showed a gratify~ ing increase over the previous month. when the operations were eX- ceptionally low. The total for Sep tcmber was only s43,76G, while in October the total Jumped 10 s132.- SS0. The latter figure, however. was much lower than for October, 1928, " hen the totals were sS97,1T7.
 The substantial increase of build Ing operations in October over Sep tGmber is shared by l5 municipalities in the state, including Bristol, Meri- den. Middletown. New Haven, Waterbury, West Hartford and West Haven.
 Admitting that the increase of October over September is not as i'm portant as a comparison with the same month last year, it is gratifying to learn that II cities and towns III the state showed an increase in October over the same month in 1928. Some of the increases regis tered are most substantial, too, as in the case Of West Haven. West Hart ford. New Haven. Meriden, Nauga- tuck. New London and Greenwich.
 It is self-evident from the build ing statistics that regardless of al leged "over- built" conditions here and there, the story throughout the state is one of continued progress in building operations. And it must not be forgotten that the building totals ot New Britain the past month. though less than the same month last year, were high compared with many a previous October in the his tory of the city. Ten years or so ago the figures would have been rcgar1- ed as indicating a business boom. We have grown so much larger that quite substantial building figures fail to startlc us like they used 10 do.
