BUILDING A LIÑER

THE FLOATING TOWN OF TO-DAY

A large ocean liner of to-day is in many respects a floating town, call-1 ing into requisition as many trades and conforming to as many amenities as the building of houses on land. Lighting, heating, ventilation, baths and sanitary arrangements, passenger lifts.

galley and cooking equipment, and refrigerating appliances have to be considered and provided for, just as on land.

Luxury and furnishing of passen- ger accommodation have, in fact, now reached a very high pitch, and the naval architect has to consider not only the speed and stability of the ship, but also the comfort, in the highest degree, of the passengers.

The work of the skilled tradesman does not, of course, begin until the design has been prepared and every detail worked out on paper by a high- ly trained technical staff of naval ar- chitects, engineers and draughtsmen. It is the aim of the nayal architect to build with

the minimum weight for a suitable standard of strength, and for the engineer to endeavour to design the propelling machinery se AS to get the maximum horse-power on the minimum weight. In the main the

design of the hull of the passen- ger and cargo vessel does not alter very much, although vessels bullt for a special purpose, such, for instance, as an ice-breaker or the latest style of trawler, call for special design.

The choice of propelling machin ery, how er, is an important issue in the design of new ships, and

THE "

HAMPSHIRE

'MORE "SECRETS" OF THE WAR REVEALED

During the discussion on the Navy Estimates in the House of Commons two interesting sidelights on the War were given by Com. Kenworthy, tha Labour member for Central Hull.

On

#

Com. Kenworthy urged the advis ability of more labour-saving ap pliances in the Navy. Even modern battleship, he said, the manusi procesa of holy-stoning the deck was still retained. It was heart-breaking work and no efficient private firm would have its woodwork cleaned in that way.

He further suggested that, as the late Lord Fisher recommended, seniar Marine officers should be commanding officers of coastal fortified areas.

That would lead to the avoidance of such mistake as was made by a mili. tary commander at Dover during the War when he reported three of our own trawlers coming down Channel as three German battleships, and the whole fleet put out to sea.

"Could Not Tell"

When the "Hampshire" went down with Lord Kitchener on board a mili tary officer reported a battleship in dis traka. The naval authorities at Scapa Flow could not make out what he was trying to tell them. A military officer could not tell the difference between an armoured exniser and a battleship. If a marine officer had held the post many lives might have been saved..

Capt. Fanshawe (Con.. Clackman nan) thought it would not have made the slightest difference. There were. he said, two explosions on the "Hamp shire," and after the first explosion the ship was actually, under water within a quarter of an hour.

Com. Kenworthy accused the First Lord of blocking the avenue of pro- motion from the lower deck

The "Leviathan," formerly known American Line, has been valued at as the "Vaterland," of the Hamburg-

United States Court of Claims by $33,926,250 in the claim filed in the the latter company under the Settle- ment of War Claims Act, 1928 (states Washington advices).

The claim was based upon the "Leviathan's" value at the time of her seizure during the war and filed by the Hamburg-American Line along with

clatin for forty-three other

vessels, including the "America," all totalling 3114,761,520. The German claimant asked compensation for the "America" amoanting to $10,179,900. However, the petitions for ship claims before the arbiter do not ask for a
