SATURDAY'S WAR NEWS
MOTHER COUNTRY; BHIPBUiIiDLVG RESULTS. OUTPUT ACCELERATED. London, August 9, Lord Pfrrie, in an interview, said 240 separate shipbuilding and repairing marine engineering establishments are under his departments. The better synchronising of hulls and machinery resulted in a marked acceleration of output, and there is now very rarely delay in awaiting machinery for standard ships because it is interchangeable. Any immediate material increase in the present rate of output can hardly be expected until additional skilled men are obtained. Fifty-six small concrete ships are under construction. They aro built in wooden moulds into which steel rods are placed and concrete poured in. The number of vessels salved after being damaged recently increased owing to improvements in the Admiralty's salvage organisation and devices to minimise damage.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
