Japanese Shipbuilding. The expansion of shipbuilding. in Japanese yarda is reported to be greatly hampered by the dear- neas of materiale. Steel, among others, commands double the
figure paid before the war, though it can be obtained from America to some extent. Consequently the cost of new boats has greatly appreciated. The increase in the cost of new boats per ton being shown in the following table

As a natural consequence of. the hostilities, imports from Europe have been practically auspended, and Japanese ships. builders are cow suffering from lack of materials. The necessity of promoting home industries, in order that her shipbuilding may become perfectly self-supporting, has never been felt so keenly as at present. This matter is now under careful consideration, but it is very difficult to make any predictions regarding the result. Then, again, the building of steam trawlers, which was once a very prosperous industry in Japan, prastically ceased owing to excessive production and a gradual decrease in the earnings of these vessels. But the adop tion of oil motors in small fishing craft is showing steady progress, there being at present about": 3,000 motor fishing vessele scat tered all over Japan. The num- ber of these is increasing with wonderful rapidity, and motor building has now become a very
important industry. As to the
mercantile, three 12,000-ton liners
the Sawa Maru, the Yasaka Maru, and the Tashimi Mara- built for the Nippon Yusen Kaieba's European service were completed during 1913, and three 7,500-ton cargo steamere, one fitted with geared turbines of 5,800 tons each, built on the Is- herwood system, and also a large number of coasting steamers, were launched, while there was considorable activity in the build. ing of small craft. Of new work 17th July at 11 8.m. now on hand there are two 9th Aug. "
10,000 ton steamers, one 7,500 fon steamer, and many othera on the stocks at the principal ship en-yards, but with very little pro- spect of fresh orders in the im-- mediate future. The year was, however, a record one in the history of Japanese shipbuilding, having exceeded all its pre- decessors in the matter of total output. The most important and most interesting vessel launched was the battleship Fuso, of 80,000 tona displacement. S She was floated out of the new building dock at Kure in March. She carries twelve 14in. guns in six turrets, all arranged on the centra line, and she is the largest and most powerful battleship now ellat. There are besides thres
iater abips under construction
Yard the Hinge at the Miten the Yamashiro at Yokosuka Naval Bishi Works, Nagasaki, Dookyard, Kobe. All the guns are of purely Japanese design and they are now in course of constraction at the Kure Arsenal and also at Murorap Steel Foundry in “ Hokaido. The engines of the Vessels consist of turbines of the Brown Curtis type, and with Japanese navy type water tubs boilera excepting the Hinge in which Parsons turbines are to be installed the machinery is all being built in Japan. The materials used in the constraction of the vessels are also supplied from the Imperial Steel Works at Wakematau Exchange,
