The acquisition of the large passen- %‘;xs :;t\()xg;;uvolrcd in the decision, it v 1ted out by an official versed | in shipping affairs, will advance this country ten years toward shipping su- premacy of the world, and it is not unlikely that one early result will be the placing of this country in the 1 of any other country in transatlantic bassenger service. In this connection out that Great Britain has so much (o replace in her other more vital services, like the Pacific and Oriental, | that she must necessarily be unable to make replacements in her trans-At- lantic lines fast enough to hold her supremacy The present program of the ship- ping board will give the United States in a very few yvears one-third of the | ship tonnage of the entive world, and | the acquisition of the German vessels | is looked upon as a wonderful help to- ward attaining the goal sought. Large passenger ships are considered of the greatest value because their effect is to cause wealthy shippers who travel in these ships to send their cargoes over the same lines Supremacy of Seas is Goal. One official illustrated the situation | saying that the greatest value of the Twenticth Century and Pennsyl- vanta Limited trains to their opera- tors was in the fact that people trav- elling on the de luxe trains get in the habit of sending their goods over the same roads. Recent cancellations of contracts by hipping board have been made the idea of supplanting them new contracts for larger passen- | ger and freight vessels. more appro- priate Lo peace times, and calculated to place this country on the high road toward supremacy of the seas. The cancellations were of contracts for vessels intended to combat and sur- vive submarine warfare. Included in the fleet of magnificent liners thus added to our merchant marine are the Leviathan, the Presi- | dent Lincoin, President Grant, George Washington, the Acolus,and the Cov- ington. The Leviathan is the largest merchant vessel afloat. Llovd's Reg- ister gives her total tonnage as 54,- 2, and her net tonnage as 37.384 Many officials view the acquisition of the Garman merchant fleet et- | tling the doubts expressed in some quarters vecently of the advisability of Uncle Sam staying in the shipping business. These vesscls, together with the others actually acquired and built by the government during the war, make such an enormous tonnage of the most efficient patterns now in the hands of the government that it is not considered likely sales to the highest bidders will be sought. it was p the with with SERVICE CLUB SOCIAL TONIGH Rev.

Firm Obtains Contracts for Birmingham Rails | ; London, April 3, (Correspondence of The Associated Press).—Yankee enterprise triumphed when the city of Birmingham, planning to replace its car rails invited bhids for ma- terial An American obtained the contract, though two British firms asked for it, and protests have been S0 numerous that the municipal gov- ernment issued an oflicial statement. One of the British bidders, it was explained, agreed to begin deliver- ing fifty tons a week in April but would not consent to a penalty clause for non-delivery: the other promised 1,200 tons within twenty weeks. The firm in the United States agreed to complete delivery by the end of May and quoted a lower price than either of the British manufacturers. The price and the fact that the authori- ties wer anxious to complete the | work this ycar were the influencing | factors in favor of the American bid- | der. . | Sending American steel i Birmingham is like car Newcastle, with the tion that the purchasc corporation street made in the United ause DBirmingham thus than if the British used Councilman city council to said rails recently manufacturers had not the committec’s standard, such rails vears the normal years.
