BUILDING ON THE CLYDE,

SPEEDING UP ON NEW LINÉRS.

A number of the new vessels which are. fitting out on the Clyde are being hurried on to completion. They belong to liner firms whose fleets have been, reduced by the Government demand for transports, and the owners desire to have delivery of the new tonnage na early as possible, in order to fill up the gaps in their services. The British India Company is one of the firms which seems to be in this position, to judge from the expedition with which two of their new vessels-the Merkara and the Uncta have been filled out.

The Merkara especially has been con pleted very rapidly. She is a cargo and passenger liner of 8,000 tons, with triple expansion engines designed to give about 14 knots speed. She has accommodation for about 20 passengers of first and second class only. The vessel was launched in the second week of September from the new yard at Elderslie, and fill staffs of men have been employed on her day and night ever since, with the result that she is now practically finished. The vessel was to run her trials last month.

The meta has taken much less time to complete. She was launched at Linthouse less than three weeks ago, and has already run her trials. She is, however, a com- paratively small vessel; meant only for cargo trade, and the work on her was very far advanced before she was launched.

SCARCITY OF LABOUR.

GERMANS AGONISED.

BEGINNING TO LEARN THEIR FERIL

The Pelit Paristen pablishes a state ment by & Frenchman who succeeded in escaping from Germany, and whose information, says the journal, is precisa and bears the impress of truth.

The Germans," he says,no longer believe the beautiful fables which have been told them. The impression, which they give and which they do not conceal is one of terrible and immense weariness. The enthusiasm of a short while ago has given place to a dull and intolerable anguish which becomes evident în evory utterance. In the towns of Middle and Southern Germany, which ho passed through, no more recruits were to be seen. "The 1915 class had been called to the colours, and the barracks are absolutely empty. Germany has at the present moment enrolled all the effectives at her disposal. Germany cannot reinforce one front except by diminishing her forces on another front.

That is why General Joffre, who knows all, is able to say that our position is very good. The truth is coraing to light, despite the precautions taken among the mass of German people, and the people, fall of the agony of its last hours, feels. that the fatal moment of collapse is at, hand."

GREAT BRITAIN'S NEW ARMIES.

QUALITY OF MEN ENABLES HIGH STANDARD TO BE REACHED.

The Pioneer's London correspondent cabled on Deceinber 17th

There are other vessels fitting out as rapidly as possible, though with less The first new army, which has now been mincked progress perhaps, and some of the under training since August, is showing firms who have liners on hand have been remarkable features of good progress.

They are now Arm sent an urgent request at the begin-engaged on battalion and brigade instruc ning of one week to some of the upper reach yards for 100 men, but they failed to get them.

If the Admiralty holds on to the liners they have requisitioned for any length of ime the demand for immediate now ton nago from the shipyards will in all likeli hood become more insistent..

TURBINE LINERS READY.

Two new liners which are practically ready for sea, and will be handed over in the course of the next week or so, are the geared turbine steamer Transylvania, of the Anchor Line, and the geared-turbine liner Princess Margaret for the Pacific Coast service of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. The Transylvania is to be put on the Anchor Line's Clyde New York service, 1rom which the Caledunia is absent on Admiralty charter and the California on. account of her disablement. The Princess Margaret is to proceed direct to her station on the Pacific Coast,!

TO-NIGHT

An interesting feature about this ship, in addition to the fact that she is propelled by geared turbines, is that she has oil-fired boilers. Her bunker capacity. designel for coastal work, is inadequate to take her across the Atlantic, but temporary tanks have been put in to carry sufficient oil to last for the long voyage to her destination. The Princess Margaret left for Dumbarton to prepare for trials.

PRICE OF STEEL.

A development whien is significant is that the men's wages in the steam section of the industry have been increased by 38 6d. a week and the advance is based on £1 per ton rise in the selling price of ship plates.

tion. The quality of the men has enabled

high standard to be reached. The marching of the men is excellent and their general endurance is very catisfactory, while the whole forte can shoot well. This latter is the dominating feature, and added to it is the fact that bayonet fighting has been specialised in, and the men are able to hold their own with any troops in this respect. **

The engineering trade has yielded plenty of trained engineers, and there are plenty of miners for field works. A large number of ex-regulars are in the batteries, and this will shorten the period necessary to train gunners.

The first army is still some weeks short of six months training, but its fitness is undoubted and it is something of a triumph.

The second army is much the same and the third army is well forward. Lord Kitchener is in the happy position of having created and mudo fit a largo army of the best material which, when it fakes the field, will be equal to any conscript troops.
