German Haste to Build Ships
The Informexions" (Rome) leans from a German source that some months ago, in ant cipation of the early end of the war ar ́s result of submarine sucoGEBBI, the North German Lloyd' and Hamburg-American Companies began the construction of twenty Transatlantio steamers, but that recently construction had to be Buspended owing to the lack of materials and labour.
A Novel Ship.
The first Norwegian iron and concrete ship was launched on the 20th it. at the Porsgrund Cement Works in the presence of the Prime Minister, M. Knudsen, . The ship is built on an entirely new system, with the bottom upwards, ia which! extraordinary position the launching took place on a sort of underlying sledge, which glided out with the ship. When the water was reached the hull became detached from the sledge, and gradually sank up to s certain poin, then aubsequently slowly righted itself. The particular ship, which is of 200 tone burden, was built in three weeks, but the next will require only about half that time, as the original frame will be used for each subsequent ship of the same. size. The casting of the ship, when the frame is completed, will this time take only two days. It is intended to start the wholesale building of iron and concrete ships of 200,500 and 1,000 tons. A 1,000-ton ship will... be completed in six weeks.

Japan and Her Ships.
An informal denial has been made by Japanese Government officials, regarding the reports printed in Japanese paperi sa to what agreements have or hava not been made between the American Government and Vis- count Ishii. The report printed in the Tokio"Asahi" is translated. by the "Japan Advertiser" as follows: In reply to the recent press despatchen, that all of the available Japanese shipping will be rent to the Atlantic Ocean, that Japanese docks will builà ships for England, that Japanese ships will help to transport war materials for Russis, in return for the lifting of the American- steel bas; that an agreement has been reached between the Japanese and the American Governments concerning it, and that the agreement wil shortly be published; an offici 1 of the Japanese Government said: "Some time ago it was rumoured that an agreement had been reached between the Japanese and the American governments concerning the question of

Now a similar rumour has come be circulated es to the American steel ban question. Bo it is not unnatural for some people" to imagine that important matters are under negotiation between the two nations. But as far as we know, no such negotiations are goingen between the two nations. It is true that the American Govarn- ment expressed a desire to our Ambassador Sato that at this time Japanese ships be loaned to America. From various direct iors secret detective work ́seoms to be carried on concerning the number of ships which Japan. might supply to America, The despatches from abroad in question may have misrepresent ed this detective work one. Even if such negotiations a Are rumoured should be conducted, Japan, who declined to comply. with the request of England when such request esme, by explaining con:itions prevailing in this country, cannot oblize America' by sending a part of our ships to the Atlantic Ocean at the reqdest of America.
