Sailors and Frightfulanss. Presiding at the annual meet- ing of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Lord Inchcape said there was no doubt that the Germans had it in their minds that the subjugation of Great Britain could be best achieved by the destruction of our mercantile marine. The menace, was a serious one, and it was much graver, than it was a” couple of years ago. They were confidently assured that the high- water mark of the submarine menace had been reached, and that the tide had turned. They could only hope that this was the case. They were told that the sinking of enemy submarines Was how far is excess of what it was a year ago. They might have had fewer ships at the bottom to-day if, as was urged in some quarters, their efforts had been earlier directed more to the... means of protecting our ships and destroying submarines than to building ships to take the place of those that were being sunk. The frightfulness which Germany declared a year ago, the sinking át sight, had no effect on the moral of our merchant sailors. With a pluck and a bravery beyond all praise they went to sea to day just as they did before the war, and boys came forward for merchant ships es cadets "and apprentices in numbers' far iz excess of anything before exper- ienced. Steps had been taken as far as possible to relieve 'men by giving them a spell ashore, but Leven those who had undergone the shock of having their ships torpedoed soon get tired of their rest and applied to go afloat again. -{Chee #}

There is a certain trouble, however, which is not easy to overcome, arising out of the difference in elasticity be- tween the two substances, and the result of this is that in course of time a number of very small cracks may develop in the concrete. The question which has to be considered it as to how far the presence of these will reduce the life of the vessel,' and the proportion that reduction bears to the cast of construction and length of life of vessels built of other materials It seems beyond doubt that the presence of the cracks mentioned will
