Hamburg's Dead Docks

A painful picture of the ruin and desolation of Hamburg is painted by Dr. A. Koster, a special corrispondent of the "Munich Post-The great port. of Hamburg is suffering more from the war than any other German town. It is true that shells are being manufactured there, as well as gunpowder and other war material. Compared, however, with other industrial centres, Hamburg's war industry is infinitesimal Above all, since the barnacles have attached: themselves to the chains of the ocean linersi since the rust bas bean eating into the cranes on the quays and landi gestɔges, aloce its counting-houses have become as emply as its shops and waro~ houses, Hamburg is Hamburg no more. A giant in chains, the great Hanseatic "port bears the war badly.

American Shipbuilding. Such progress has been made within the last two years by the American shipb.ilding industry 85 to convince the London "Economist" that "the issue : Of the war wil be decided in the American shipyards” Costs of material and labour, double what they were in Great Britain, kept | America's production in 1974 down tà 155 steamers of 263,030 tons; but by the end of this year, American yards will have | launched 1,0o 0,000 tons of ocena. going steamer The writer la the 'Economist. continues:: "The United States launched during 1916, 176 steamers (ex- clusive of small draft) measuring 531,000 tons. This way, however, just a beginning..

The standardisa tion methods which our cousins on the other side hare : BO successfully applied to motor- cars and mach ne tro's are belog applied to soips and marine engines, with similar results in rapid and economical production, '. If the war lasts through 1918 the United States in that year can scarcely fail to put-afost 2,000,000. tons of steel vessels, in addition to the wooden oraft which have been projected in such vast numbers. As the United State have gone up as producers of mercantile tonnage, so the United Kingdom has gone down. In | 1913 we launched 1977,000 tons of merchant'stoainers. In 1914 | 3,722,000 tons.
