A Notable Motor Ship. The activity in worship con- etruction has had the effect of diverting attention from develop ments in mercantile ship design. Is is true that under present con- ditions but few orders are being placed for new tonnage, but some. of the abips which were in hand at the outbreak of war illustrate the tendency to employ the Diesel engine in still larger unite than beretofore for ship propulsion. One of these, the 5,000-ton, twin- screw, motor-ship Mississippi, is certainly among the largest ocean-going, motor-driven vessels which have yet been built, nad her enginee, which have en constracted on the Olydo, and which, are each of 1,600 ilap.. are the most powerful which yet ataud to the credit of any British establishment. It is, interesting to note that the four-stroke oyola eingle-acting eix-cylinder type has been employed. The ship, which is now ready to undergo

Shortage In Dock Labour at Liverpool.
So serious is the shortage of labour at the docks that the Liver- pool Mersey Docke and Harbour Board have decided to suggest to the Board of Trade to send to Liverpool unemployed from other towns. A disinclination on the part of labourers to work regu- larly and restrictions of the Dook Labourers' Union are suggested Bs causes of the shortage.

United States extending their
foreign trade. He said "Oae week of the European war did more to convince the American people that foreign trade... is necessary to our domestic pro sperity than ten years of academio discussion. At present there is no lack of shipping facilities, as there are more ships than cargoes to all parts of the world. Our trade is not halted through lack of transportation, but we should analyse this apparent security:
The greater part of our oversen commerce is still being carried in foreign ships, and is therefore val- nerable to the hazards of war. We need more liberal navigation laws, rather than subsidies. Mr. Wil- liam H. Douglas, president of the Arkell and Dongles Company, speaking on the same occasion, said Although we boast of the Panama Canal, wo will have no ships to go through it.
