FAILURE OF WOODEN SHIPS. An American admiral, testifying "before the Senate Invesigation of the affairs of the Shipping Hoard and the Emergency Fleet . Corporation, was forced to admit that the. wooden ship plan was a failure. His evidence completely vindicates General Goethals’s stand, and proves that Mr. Denman’s plan to build a thousand w r ooden steamships is absolutely impracticable and that there is not enough lumber available to build half of them. Admiral Bowles said that, in his judgment, 90 per cent, of the effort spent upon wmoden ship construction could have been better utilised in building, steel ships, which are much more quickly constructed than wooden vessels. Mr. Hurley’s position is understood to be that the construction under contract of wmoden vessels is far advanced, and that he will push through those already started, although it is certain that the United States cannot build more than 250 wmoden ships in 1918, and it is very doubtful if they will be of any use for Transatlantic service. 15k.1l the efforts of the Shipping Board are being bent on the construction of fabricated steel ships. It is now apparent that one of the principal causes of the delay in construction is Mr. Denman’s adoption of thoroughly impracticable plans for wooden ships, on which millions of dollars have been wasted, transportation systems taxed, and the labour situation strained all to no purpose when if the energies had been devoted to steel construction, the ships would now be in the w r ater.
