SHIPYARDS BUSY
HEAVY TONNAGE ORDERS IN BRITAIN.
MERCHANT VESSELS IN GREAT DEMAND. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 9. A remarkable increase in the volume of orders for new merchant ships has taken place since the Government subsidy was announced on March 28. The two-hundredth merchant vessel projected under this scheme was provisionally ordered yesterday and practically every shipyard in Britain available for building seagoing ships is assured of steady work for the next 18 or 24 months. The Board of Trade has decided that no more applications can be entertained in the immediate future.
