(By Ptof 11. C. Sadler)
Until the outbreak of the war, the
shipbuilding industry of the United
States, although important, was neve-
theless one of the smaller one when
compared with our engineering field.
For years, the necessity of an ade-
quate mercantile marine, as well as
a strong navy, had been advocated
persistently by many who foresaw
what might happen. No encourage-
ment, however, was given by the
various congresses, and what legisla-
tion was put through mainly of a
character to still further discourage
shipbuilding in this country.
At last the government is taking the
matter seriously; so consequently
within the next year the United
States will rise from the third or
fourth to the first place as a ship-
building nation. With the old ex-
isting shipyards and the large num-
ber of new ones now in process of
completion, the potential productive
capacity will certainly exceed that of
any other country.

This sudden development has
caught us unprepared in one impor-
tant essential, viz., personel, both in
artisans and in the men who have
bad specialized training in our uni-
versities or technical schools as naval
architects.
In practice, the work of a big ship-
yard is divided between two main de-
partments, the first having charge of
the design and construction of the
ship itself, and the second responsi-
ble for the same work in connection
with the machinery,-hence the two
terms, naval architecture and marine
engineering. So far as training in
the University goes, the work is prac-
tically the same for both divisions as
it is necessary for a man to have the
fundamental training in the science
of the subject, no matter in what
branch he may specialize afterwards.
The work demands a knowledge of
subjects common - to all trained en-
gineers, and particular study in the
floatation, strength, stability, resis-
tance and propulsion of ships, and the
problems in design of ship and ma-

Major James. G. Cummings, former
director of the Pasteur institute in
the Uilversity, and who was recently
connected with the California state
board of health, has an exhaustive ar-
ticletin the Journal of American Med-
icine of April 13. The article is on
streptococus throat, which throws
some new light on the cause of the
present pneumonic conditions existing
in the army camps and cantonments.
Major Cummings will go abroad on
overseas duty in the near future.
Cadets of the R. O. T. C. will be
given a lecture at 4:15 o'clock this
afternoon in Hill auditorium. Sever-
al important agnouncements are ex-
pected to be issued at the assembly
by the military authorities.
Definite inter-company, baseball
games will probably be announced
Monday, stated Dr. George A. May last
night. The baseball paraphernalia is
now being collected and the diamonds
will be in shape for the first games
next week. Dr. May plans to have the
games at 3:15 o'clockevery afternoon,
unless something interferes with his
present views.
Drill will be held at the usual time
Friday afternoon.
All cadets who have no classes Fri-
day afternoon will probably leave on
rl ecia cars at 12:30 o'clock to partic-
ipate in a monster Liberty Loan par-
ade in Ypsilanti. The D. U. R. has
donated free transportation both to
and from the Normalite city. Addi-
tional information will be given out
at the lecture this afternoon,.
Ten students left Monday with
Charles F. Lambert, ex-'19, to take the
physical examinations in Detroit for
the naval reserves. About five more
went to Detroit Tuesday for the ex-
aminations. No information has been
received as to how many passed the
physical tests. A complete list will
be published as soon as they are re-
ceived from the commandant. Addi-
tional information can be secured
from Robert Grindley, '21, by caing

ARMY MECHANICS'
COURSE THOROUGH
"A quarter of a million mechanics
are needed by the government for ser-
vice- in this country and abroad,"
said Prof. W. L. Miggett, superintend-
ent of the engineering shops, recent-
ly.
''The detail of mechanics now train-
ing here is only a part of a great body
of men taking similar work in prac-
ticatl1y every engineering school in the
country. Purdue university is giv-
ing the same instruction to 1,000 men
of the same class as have been sent
here. '
"The work which the mechanic
take up will take the place of the
training they would have received a
the cantonments, so that they will be
ready for service in the camps here
or abroad immediately after complet-
ing their course here. Military train-
ing is given by four army officers,
sent by the government, every Sat-
urday after 10 o'clock being devoted
to drill.
"When the course is completed, the
men will have specialized in four
branches of work. Gas engine repair-
men will know how to repair every
type of motor which is used around
an army, from aviation engines to
the motors that drive ) the tanks.
Carpenters will be trained In the rough
work which is needed in the canton-
ments and behind the lines in France.
Blacksmiths will be skilled in general
maintenance work and will ' have
learned to make their tools. We hope'
soon to have a number of rifles with
which to instruct our gunsmiths in
the repair of army weapons."
Mr. Maynard Called for NaVy Service
M. W. A. Maynard, instructor in
aeronautics, has been called -into the
navy and will leave Ann Arbor about
Wednesday for active service.
Mr. Maynard enlisted in the navy
last year, but was given a furlough
to continue his work at the Univer-
sity..

The fundamentals therefore are a
fairly good head for mathematics,
physics, and related subjects combin-
ed with a real interest in, and liking
for, ships and all that pertains to
them. In this, as in any other branch
of engineering, the man who enters
with genuine enthusiasnm has his bat-
tles already half won.
One word as to the future. From
now on the country is committed to
a large mercantile marine. The de-
mands for trained men at present far.
exceed the supply. The positions
open are either in the various branches
of the government service, with the
large shipbuilding establishments, as
engineer officers in the navy, or mer
cantile 'marine, or on the staff of ship-
owning companies, or consulting
naval architects. The development
of new ideas, such as concrete ships,
etc., will also call for men with im-
agination and sound training.

36 WOMEN TO PARTICIPATE
IN SINGLES TENNIS TOURNEY
With 36 women signed up for the
annual women's spring tennis tour-
nament, this event promises to be
unusually well-played this year. This
is the largest number that has parti-
cipated in the tournament for some
time.
Drawings were made yesterday, and
have been posted on the bulletin board
in Barbour gymnasium. Grace Hall,
'20, tennis manager, requests that
each contestant look up her partner
and make arrangements for playing
off the match. The first round must
be finished by April 29.
Due to/ the fact that so few girls
signed up for doubles, the drawings
will not be made until the number
warrants it.
The Newberry courts are in excel-
lent shape and are ready for play to-
day. They have been'carefully grad-
ed, and provided with a system of
cinder drains, while the surfaces have
been given a hard fAnish to so as to
make fast play possible.
Professor Young Appoints Assistants
Prof. L. J. Young, of the forestry
department, has appointed three men
to assist him hext summer in inspect-
ing Michigan forest lands for white
pine blister rust. In addition to the
men already appointed, C. W. Blashill,
'21, L. R. Reubenger, grad, and H. S.
Clark, '16. Professor Young will ap-
point six other men. The work is
done under the direction of the plant
industry bureau of the department of
agriculture and is being carried out
to stamp out this disease, which' is
becoming very important.
Professor Thieme to Address Assembly
Prof. H. G. Thieme of the French
