Officials here estimated to- fday, on records for the three days since expiration of the time allowed in the German proclamation for ships at sea on February 1 to get into port, that vessels were being sunk at the rate of nearly a million tons a month, the. amount German naval authorities set as necessary to starve the British Isl At that rate it would take just four vears to destroy the tonnage of the entire world—48,000,000 tons—if all the world’s ships ventured into the war zone. Lloyds reports plts the tonnage sunk February 5, 6 and 7 at about 85,000 tons. The would turned out in 1916 less than two million tonnage of merchant vessels. During the day the Germans sank trifie more than that, making the net ioss in world's shipping at about one and one half per cent. Ship manufactugers in all the allled and neutral countries are rushing the work on merchant ships. Vessels have been standardized and it is almost im possible to have made anywhere a ship of special construction. The Brit- ish government is having built great steel cargo ships, all alike, and of the simplest construction. The yards are busy night and day on their construc- tion d as soon as they are off the ways Keels will be laid for more. “There are no figures to show the amount of tonnage constantly on the seas carrying goods to and from the British Isles. United States customs reports show that about a million and 2 half tons clear from American ports every month, but as Some vessels clear twice the figures -are misleading. About the same amount of tonnage ar- rives monthly from Huropean ports. Of the 48,000,000 tons of merchant ships in the world, Great Britain owns abou: 20.000,000 tons. ‘The United States is second with a little more than 6,000,000 tons, of which 2,000,000 tons is in lake and river trade.
