July 4.- Klghty nlne ships, .thundering down the ways added a new note to the nations Fourth of July celebration today. , It wan a note calculated to make tyrants tremble far mora than they ever trembled at all the Fourth of ' July oratory since 1176. For It is America' answer to the threat of tlit Prussian tyrants, to drive civilization ' from the eeaa. Although Ittunclilngii have been go ing on steadily In 'scores of shipyards on every coa&t of the United States, a KiKsclal effort was mude to rush many ships to completion for today's big drive, with the unprecedented re sult that 3? steel ships and 62 wood en ones were ready to take the way this morning. It Is possible that from one to five other ships may be far enough ad vanced In construction to be sent Into the water during the day. and If they are they will toe launcher, regardlcse of the format program. The tonnage scheduled for launch ing totals 43M86. This Is enough tonnage, the war department estimates, to maintain 146,000 American soldiers at the front, carrying them food, guns, equipment and ammunition from America. Impressive ceremonies were held at most of the shipyards, as the hulls went to the Water. Itere Is the list of the yards produc ing the ships and their deadweight tonnage: fcted Vosntxk.
