Germans and Their Warship
Building
The four Datoh destroyers building at the Vulcan Yardı Stettin, have been taken over by the Germans. There are also three Chinese destroyers building at Sobichau'e Elbing works, which have probably ceased to be Celestial. In Austria, a similar Uhinese destroyer has probably been taken over from the Stabili. mento Tecnico people, while at Moufalcone there are building one 4,000-tón Obíneas oruiser sad thres of 1,900 tons. None of these oraisers, however, is at all in an advanced state. It is reported from Hamburg that the German is Shipbuilding Yard has in hai la ship of new design, half sub- marine and half destroyer. It is claimed that the principle on which the vessel in being built will give her great speed and Her bow will be mobility, armoured and provided with a ram. The chief object of the new type is to destroy enemies' submarines.

At first sight it may appear remarkable that this increase, alight though it is, should be recorded in a period during two thirds of which this country has been engaged in the greatest war of its history, but looked at more closely the increase will be seen Leave Hongkongto be a direct consequence of the

The number of vassels on which con straction was started 157-BO but little smaller than the figure 164-for the previons quarter, but their fonnage was only 294,593 tons as compared with 408,383 tons. In the number of venaela launched, however, there was a larger falling off, the figures being 146 of 376,279 tons against 194 of 444,877 tone. As regards warship constraction the Beturns are diepreetly silent, nor do they furnish the usual information regarding merchant vessels build ing outside the United Kingdom.
