"Under normal conditions before the war." said Downey, "the
cost of shipbuilding materials in the I'nited States was less than In
foreign countries, but foreigners had an advantage in the cost of
labor. Now their yard labor costs have increased materially, and 1
think they will never he so low again.
"I believe that by the standardization of IpfM of ves
sels, and by -v< lali/.ath >n In building. Americans will in
the future be able to compete successfully with the ship
builders of ANY other nation!"
Thus coincident with the consideration by congress of the ad
ministration ship bill, designed to aid and encourage the develop
ment of the American merchunt marine, comes news that the long
despaired-of shipping industry has begun to follow the rest of
American Industry on the way to world supremacy!
More ships than ever before were building in the United States
—about ;1J0 —are now under construction in the bO leading yards of
the country- Over $:t!i,000,00t» of fresh capital was invested in ship
ping corporations In the year just closed! According to the New
York Journal of Commerce, the capital invested In new shipping
companies during the last five months of 1115 was $16,929,000,
against $1,x..4,0 00 in the same period of 1914!
Eighty-two ocean-going vessels are now being built in eastern
shipyards, at a cost of $70,000,000; and each is going to fiy the
American flag!
The principal cradles of the new American merchant marine
are at Fore River, Quincy, Mass., along the Delaware and the Chesa
peake, and at Newport News, Va.
The Delaware is already calling Itself the "Clyde of America."
Old plants abandoned 20 years ago are abruptiy coming to life.
Signs of great activity are Been at two long dormant yards at Bath.
Me., while the John Roach yards, Chester, Pa., are building two
merchant ships, after a quarter of a century of idleness.

FLEETS AT ONCE
"Ship manufacturing" in

one of the coming phases in

will put it on a more efficient
basis for competition with the
world,
American owners now want
fleets Instead of single ships,
and the shipping plant! can

Whiteside's Drama, 'The Typhoon'
Is Peculiar Prediction ol War
The coming of Walker White
side to the Tacoma theater for an
engagement of two performances
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week, in "Tbe Typhoon," is of
singular interest. When this
powerful play was written its
Hungarian author probably had
no Idea that his country would
soon be plunged into the great
est war in ail history, and yet
had lie positively known what
was to come he could hardly
have penned a more human
document upon the subject of
preparedness. It will be re
membered that "The Typhoon"
has to do with the activities of
the Japanese in their world
search for knowledge of the do
ings of other peoples. Mr. White
side impersonates a Japanese dip
lomat in the play, and it Is per
haps the strangest and most ef
fective characterization he has
ever given to the stage.
Comedy Scenes
In Wilkes Drama
One of the most amusing com
edy scenes in "The Call of the
North" at the Empress tin .nrr
this week Is that between the
two canny Scots who have made
a compact never to marry. Hoth
of them have fallen victim to tho
(harms of a dashing widow visit
ing the trading post. She learns
of the compact and encourages
each, then when they agree to
break the com pact, she refuses
them both. The play Is a dra
matization of Stewart Edward
White's widely read story, "Con
juror's House." It is brilliantly
acted by the Wilkes stock com
pany with Norman Hackett and
Phoebe Hunt in the leading
roles.
