All persons interested in the launching congregated at way No. 49 at 12 o’clock, There were present, in addition to a large num- ber of visitors and several thousand workmen, Mr. Mathew ©. _ Brush, president of the American Interna- tional Shipbuilding corporation, which is the building company, with tants, and Frederick Morris, chief inspector for the United States Shipping board. Mr. Morris is a ranchman located on the road from Cody, Wyoming, to the Yellowstone park. He was educated tn his youth in England in the shipbuilding trade. later on retiring on account of his health. He offered his servi the beginning of the war and imm ately arose from one of seventy in- spectors for the government to chief | inspector in charge of all.

Under the later} ‘war, and present conditions, the same! ships will be constructed at a saving of one-third, making the cost for each ship one million dollars. The captain requested the picture | of the sponsor to hang in the library of the ship.
