Before the Natinoal Marine League, Mr. Hurley disclosed that despite de- lays the country soon will have 730 steel and wooden ways turning out ships and that the government's main- moth steel shipbuilding program of eight million tons on March 1 was 28 per cent on its way to completion. This does not mean that 28 per cent are in the water, but that construction as a whole had advanced that far. Eight per cent of the vessels actually have been put into service, Mr. Hur- ley said. American Shipyards Set Record The three government fabricating yards near Philadelphia, when in full operation, will be able to produce, Mr. Hurley said, more ships in a year than all the yards of England, here- tofore the greatest shipbuilding coun- try in the world. "Unless we get our men to the bat- tle front, we will not win the war, and therefore it all comes back to ships," said Mr. Hurley. "Upon the shipping board has devolved the re- sponsibility of supplying this need and supplying it under the most extraor- dinary conditions that ever existed, at a time when every other industry is being taxed to its utmost capacity in the matter of materials and labor to provide war necessities. Not a Maritime Nation "The handicaps have been many. We were not a maritime nation. With the exception of a few widely scatter- ed yards, merchant marine construc- tion had almost become a lost art with us. Then came this sudden call at a moment when the navy was undergo- ing the greatest expansion in its his- tory-when most, if not all, of the es- tablished yards were feverishly en- gaged in rush construction on dread- naughts, destroyers, submarines, fuel ships, tenders and other auxiliary craft and when munition makers were absorbing that part of skilled labor which had not been called to govern- ment navy yards or private shipbuild- ing plants. "I wish to remind you gentlemen that ships are not built over night. When we took hold of this job of ship- building, we found there was no ship- yard in existence with which we could place an order. The old yards were filled to capacity. We were faced with the necessity of creating an en- tirely new industry. We had to es- tablish the yards first, get the ship- builders to take charge of them, and train the men to build the ships. Shipyards Are Increased "There were 37 steel shipyards in America at the time of our entrance into the war. We have located 81 ad- ditional steel and wood yards while 18 other yards have been expanded. We are building in the new and ex- panded steel yards 235 new steel ship- ways, or 26 more than at present exist in all the shipyards of England. If we had been content with doing the job in a small way, we might have built a few new yards and added a lit- tle to our capacity. A few ships might have been finished more quickly; but it was the spirit and will of America to do the job in a big way and the judgment of the country will be vin- dicated by the results when all these new ways are completed and are turn- ing out ships. Many of these ways have actually been finished. The new industry we have created will make America the greatest maritime nation in the history of the world." MILITARY NEWS Prof. Arthur E.

Corsages Decorations IN DYES AFTER WAR, d c "Germany will find after the war that the world is no longer dependent upon her for those products which al- ways used to be associated with the phrase 'Made in Germany'," declared' Prof. Edward D. Campbell, director of the chemical laboratory, yesterday af- ternoon in referring to the report that American companies are now manu- facturing German dyes, "For many years we in this country have been making dyes every bit as good as those made in Germany, but not in such a variety of shades. Since there has not been very much money in the business, the industry did not expand until the beginning of the war. It has talsen much time to work out the formulas for the different dye- stuffs, but our chemists are quite as skilled as German chemists and when they have acquired a little more ex- perience in this field we should sur- pass Germany in both quality of dye and quantity of production. "Thirty years ago," continued Pro- fessor Campbell, "the United States was dependent on Germanw for four- fifths of the cement used here, but cement users made a determined effort to build up the industry until we now export quantites of that material each year. The dyestuff industry should follow the same course. "France is even now taking steps to assure her economic independence from Geramny after the war. The French government has recently fin- anced a great plant for the production of high explosives during the war but which is to manufacture dyestuffs aft- er peace is declared. It is interesting' to note that the very plants that are now engaged in making high explo- sives can turn to the manufacture of dye materials, the processes being es- sentially the same."
