CHICAGO, March 11 (Special.) Ameri
ca's "child .crop" must be restricted if
the masses of the Nation are to be saved
from degradation by the "specter of over
population,' according to Professor Ed
ward Ross, the University of Wisconsin
sociologist, on "Western Civilization -and
the Birth Rate.' . In an article in the
current American Journal of Sociology,
issued today from the University of Chi
cago press, the Wisconsin educator con
demns large families and advances the
principles of "race suicide as a blessing
Instead of an evil.
Professor Ross article leads a discus
sion by seven leading American authori
ties who were Invited by the Chicago pro-
r fessors to furnish their views on the
subject. Several of the professors differ
from Professor Ross' views. Professor
Ross declares his willingness to array
himself against "mystics, clerics, a priori
moralists, sentimentalists, aesthetes, mili
tarists, capitalists and politicians," who
, may condemn his views, and to enroll
himself "with those who hate famine,
war, saber-tooth competition, class an
tagonism, the degradation of the masses,
the wasting of children, the dwarfing of
women and the cheapening of men."'
Kmancipation From Eve's Curse.
Tn the opinion or Professor Ross the
birth rate already shows that women are
beginning to emancipate themselves from
the lot of "mother and drudge" and to
spurn submission to the "curse of Eve."
He says:
. "One effect of reducing the size of the
average family is that diffusion of eco
nomic well-being which registers Itself In
a rising plane of comfort, a growth of
savings and a wider diffusion of owner
ship. Striking indeed is the contrast in
condition between the prudent French
peasantry and the reckless mining or
factory towns of Central Riirope, or the
spawning rural communities in Russia
, and Roumania.
"The gain in longevity is partly due to
- the better support and care of the aged,
who no longer need compete for attention
with an over-large brood of wailing in
fants. Again, a decline in fecundity
lessens infant mortality; for often the
sole effect of prolixity is to fill the ceme
tery with tiny graves.
Fewer Born, More Survive.
"Among the working classes babies that
come close together lack greatly in feed
ing, care and medical attention, so that
the restricted family may rear the larger
number. The death-rate in some cases
enormous and these aborted lives jdd
fiothlng to National or racial strength;
. .hey are simply sacrifices of the innocent
to the Moloch of immoderate maternity.
"Powerful as are the motives arrayed
against superfecundlty, they operate only
insofar as they are coupled with ofre
sleht and self-control. In the modern
world parents may not rid themselves of
the unwelcome child so that it is nnlv
hv helnir foreseen and anticlnateil that- i
the ever-more-acutely-felt burden of that
child can limit the size of the family."
Causes of Small Families.
Of the causes that are working toward
restriction of the size of the family. Prof.
Ross declares:
"A phenomenon so widespread and
striking Is a challenge to the tyro and
the fanatic and hence all manner of silly,
cheap or partial explanations compete
for public credence. Some attribute it to
physical sterilization induced by alcohol
ism, city life and high pressure, forget
ting that tiie child crop of sober rural
communities is often scantier than that
o ffntemperate mining or industrial towns.
Tidal waves of imitation carry the crav
ings for luxuries, hitherto yooked upon
as the prerogative of the rich, among
millions of people of Hint ted means, and
these. In their endeavor to gratify their
newly awakened wants, learn to econ
omize In children. The little stranger
trenches on raiment, bric-a-brac, uphol
stery, travel, entertainment. Here the
decencies, the comforts, yonder the re
finements and vanities of life compete
with the possible child and bar it from
existence."

ST. PETERSBURG. March 12. The

The Conservatives purposed unex

Gibraltar's Miles of Tunnels.
Washington iD. C.) Star.
The rock of Gibraltar lies at the end
of a narrow neck of land which connects
It with the Spanish peninsula. One could
walk across this neck in a few minutes.
The town of Gibraltar, which contains
something like 30.000 people. Is situated
upon it and Its houses extend from it
along the lower sides of the rock itself.
This rock is a gigantic piece of solid
limestone, whioh rises almost straight
from the water on the side facing the
Mediterranean sea, to a height almost as
great as that of the Blue Ridge Mount
ains in Virginta. If you could put two
"Washington monuments, one on the top
of the other, and on the top of these a
spire as tall as the dome of the Capitol

along the sides. They come from the tun
nels within. The whole rock has been
tunneled. It has SO miles of galleries
burrowed through it and it is a honey-
i comb of chambers. The fortifications
have, of course, the finest of modern
Suns and other war machinery- Only a
few parts of them are shown to visitors,
and only the British soldiers and war
office know just how the works are con
structed and defended. There are un
doubtedly some big 12-inch suns and
some which could probably land shot in
Africa across the way. The strait is
something, like 12 miles wide at that
point, and there are modern guns which
will shoot 12 or 13 miles. Among the
guns known to be at Gibraltar are two
of 100 tons each, so heavy that It would
take about 200 horses to haul one of them.
Those guns are each 32 feet long, and
each will throw a shot weighing a ton
a distance of eight miles.
JAPAN'S MANY SCHEMES
To Expand Trade and Commerce and
Make Money.
New Tork Commercial.
Japan has many schemes under con
templation to expand her trade and com
merce and to build up her industries, as
well as to get the cost of the late war
recouped. Among them the most inter
esting Is In the form of demonstrative
advertising of her manufactures, produc
tions, etc. The enterprises of this character-
now under consideration are the
Sixth Grand Exposition, the Tokio Pre
fectural Exhibition, the Ship Traveling
Exhibition, the Manchurian Bazaar and
the Competitive Bazaars. An interna
tional ' exposition is also advocated by
many from the standpoint of both official
and private interests.
The prevailing idea is commemorative
of the late war, but the necessary delay
is likely to divest it of the commemora
tive quality. However, as to the fact of
the exhibition, the Japanese government,
it is announced, will include in the next
budget an appropriation of 10,000.000 yen
for the forthcoming Sixth Industrial Ex
hibition to be held in 1912.
This is to be on la scale half interna
tional and half national, which is about
as definite a description as translation
will admit, and therefore on a scale con
siderably more extensive than the sev
eral preceding industrial exhibitions, and
inviting as many nations as possible to
exhibit their specialties. The site of this
exhibition is so far unknown, but will
doubtless be at Tokio.
The Tokio Prefectural Exhibition, which
is to be opened in Tokio in March, Will
assume something of the commemorative
form, since it is declared to take advan
tage of the opportunity presented by the
ending of the great war to at once sig
nalize the event of victory and to give
inspiration to commercial and industrial
enterprise. Foreign consuls and leading
foreign merchants have expressed their
wish to have a building for foreign oc
cupation, which wish has been conceded.
The foreign section will thus be similar
In character to that usual in a national
exhibition. This exhibition will extend
from March 20 to June 2.
The Ship Traveling Exhibition is un
derstood to be a public or national un
dertaking, and mention of It is apropos
of the announcement of the British Trade
Tour, which London newspapers describe
as having taken definite shape p.8 a
floating exhibition of British manufac
tures, to visit ports of commercial im
portance in various parts of the world.
The promoters of the Ship Traveling Ex
hibition are the Tokio Industrial Agency,
All the chambers of commerce in Japan
have been conferred with as to procedure
and plan, and their opinions invited be
cause of this scheme being new and with
out data upon which to base calculations,
yet proceeded with upon the intention.
In the event of success, of converting it
Into a permanent establishment.
The route that at present suggests It
self as the more convenient Is via Can
ada, United States, Hawaii, New Zea
land, Australia, the South Pacific and the
Far East generally. The itinerary will
involve 27.600 miles of navigation of 170
days; and calling: at 33 ports, 135 days.
The preliminary draft of detail is on
record, but does not become important
until later.
The Manchurian Bazaar Is projected
by the Manchurian Association, which
has Just been established at Osaka, with
the view of promoting trade with Man
churia and Mongolia. Tho association
handles the exhibits at the bazaar, at
tends to the shipments of goods and col
lects the proceeds of merchandise sold.
GRAFT IN IRRIGATION.
(Continued from First Pafte.)
Hints from Boise as to startling land
fraud disclosures at Lewiston tend to
confirm reports from authentic sources
that the Government has for a year or
more considered the alleged land frauds
in Idaho more gigantic than in either
Oregon. Montana or Washington, and that
it Is the intention of the Government to
sift them to the bottom, bring the guilty
ones to trial, and then bring re-entrance
proceedings, after conviction, to secure
repossession of the lands fraudulently se
cured from Uncle Sam.
This latter step will mean great finan
cial loss and perhaps absolute ruin to
private individuals and banking institu
tions which are or have been directly or
Indirectly connected with the handling or
ownership of lands said to have been
fraudulently acquired.
It is known that the few indictments
secured at Moscow at the last two terms
of court are but a beginning. There are
other indictments to follow which will
further involve those now suspected or
directly incriminated. The Government
prosecutors are going to bring Into the
pale of the law men high in all walks of
life whose names bo far have not been
even suspected.
Uuiii to Portland Backers.
The steps to reclaim lands fraudulently
secured from the Government will mean
the loss of thousands of dollars to Port
land people, who, it is understood, have
advanced large sums of money on Idaho
lands secured from the Government
against which there Is now a cloud be
cause of their alleged unlawful acquire
ment in the first place. There are thou
sands of acres of timber land in Northern
Idaho which cannot be sold at this time
because it is claimed a title cannot be
given which Is not wholly free from a
fraud.
For more than a year the Government
has been carefully working upon tho
North Idaho land fraud cases, it is said
that evidence has been secured which
when presented In court will prove as
tounding to the general public. When the
conspiracy cases are tried at Moscow by
Government officials they are confident of
conviction.
Irrigation Projects Involved.
It is the avowed purpose of the Govern
ment to use the evidence brought out at
these trials as a basis for its entrance
actions. Of course other evidence will
also be used, and the startling revelations
printed at Boise are croppings of what
the Government intends to do in the
prosecution of the alleged land fraud
people.
It is also hinted that the Government
will show by some of its indictments
which are soon expected that the lines
for several gigantic irrigation projects
were incorrectly run so that lands other
than those it was originally intended
should be placed upon the ditch might
be gotten hold of.
These cases, it is said, if proven, and
the Government thinks it can, will mean
the ruination of more than one irrigation
project which has lured homeseekers to
lands of the defendants in Idaho, where

STRIVING TO SEND
(Continued from First Page.)
ney could have summoned Mr. Smith and
had him here when the trial opened.
"That statement is traversed absolute
ly." broke In Mr. Jerome.
"Then at that point we are at issue,"
replied Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Jerome cited a number of authori
ties to support his contention that there
would be no error in Justice Fitzgerald's
allowing the prosecution to give evidence
in aid of the case already made. He
spent nearly half an hour upon the cita
tions and resumed his argument, eventu
ally concluding with the request that, as
a matter of justice, he be allowed to take
the testimony of White's brother-in-law.
He asserted that as a matter of rebuttal,
if not direct evidence, Mr. Smith should
be allowed to testify, as the state pro
posed to contradict the contentions ot
the defense and show that Thaw was not
of unsound mind the night he killed
White.
"We will go further," said Mr. Jerome,
"and show the elements In this case go
to make up murder in the first degree as
defined by the statutes." '
How Jerome Heard of Smith.
Mr. Delmas arose to reply once more,
but had had started when Mr. Jerome
interrupted to say that he did not know
of the Important conversations Smith had
had with Thaw upon the Madison-Square
roof garden until the former returned
from Europe last month.
"I was at dinner at Martin's recently."
said Mr. Jerome, "when a friend asked
me why I did not call Smith. He told
me of Smith's conversations with Thaw,
and that was the first I heard of it."
"Then you would reopen the case en
tirely," "replied Mr. Delmas, "to put In
newly discovered evidence. I must pro
test against any such course."
Mr. Delmas closed with a plea to the
court to exercise its discretion in favor
of the defendant.
Justice Fitzgerald said the evidence Mr
Smith had to offer was newly discovered
and in the interest of Justice should
be given to the jury. "I overrule the
objection." he concluded.
Mr. Jerome asked -that the examina
tion of Mr. Smith be postponed until after
the luncheon recess to enable him to call
Police Officer Edward Howe to the stand.
This was granted.
Mr. Howe said that upon the night of
June 25 test, he was walking down Madi
son avenue when he met Policeman
Wright with Thaw in custody. He ac
companied them to the police station.
"In your opinion, was the defendant
rational or irrational?" Mr. Jerome asked
the witness.
"Rational."
Dr. Flint's Evidence Shut Off.
Mr. Jerome next - called Dr. Carlton
Flint, the physician to whom Evelyn
Nesbit is said to have gone with Jack
Barrymore, the actor. When young Mrs.
Thaw was upon the stand she was con
fronted by Dr. Flint and declared she
had never seen' him before. Mr. Jerome
asked:
Do you know an actor named Jack Barry
more? Well, I don't exactly know him.
You know who he is; you have seen him?
Yes.
Do you know Evelyn Nesbit Thaw?
No.
You know who she is: you saw her In
court ?
Yes, I saw her here in court.
Some time in 1902 did Jack Barrymore
and Kvelyn Nesbit go together to your of
Uce? Mr. Delmas objected "on all the grounds
I have before stated." He evidently re
ferred to the rules of evidence protect
ing Mrs. Thaw's testimony. Mr. Jerome
did not care to argue the point and
Justice Fitzgerald sustained the objec
tion and Dr. Flint was excused. Mr.
Jerome had no other witnesses ready and
the luncheon recess was ordered,
Mazie Follett. the chorus girl, was in
the corridor outside the courtroom when
the afternoon session was called and
evidently expected to be called as a
witness. She was accompanied by a Miss
Jackson, who was a clerk in the studio
at the time Evelyn Nesbit posed for the
pictures which have been offered in.
evidence. Miss Jackson is expected to
fix the date of the picture taking.
Smith's Story or Fatal Night.
James C- Smith was recalled. He re
peated his statement of yesterday that he
reached the Roof Garden the night of
the tragedy about 9:15 o'clock and eeated
himself upon the Madison-avenue side of
the hall. He was asked:
rld you see this defendant there?
I did.
Where did he come from?
He came from the elevator.
Was he accompanied by any one whom
5I knew' "the two gentlemen, Mr. McCaleb
and Mr. Beale.
Was there a lady with them?
Yes.
Did you know wlio she was?
I have no personal knowledge of who
she was. I knew It was Thaw's wife.
Now please describe what you saw the
defendant do and what you heard him say.
Mr. Smith proceeded with some diffi
culty, as Mr. Delmas objected almost con
tinuously. "Thaw walked by me with his party,
apparently not recognizing me."
Mr. Delmas objected and the words "ap
parently not recognized me," were
stricken out.
"Did he recognize you? asked Mr.
Jerome. "
Mr. Delmas objected on the ground of
immateriality and was sustained.
"Did Thaw eay anything to you?'
"No." .
"Nor look Into your face?" Proceed,
commanded the District Attorney.
Thaw was looking intently to the
right." . .
Objection at Every Point.
Mr. Delmas objected to "intently," and
the word was stricken out.
"He was looking over his right
shoulder. I followed him and his party
with my eyes until they reached their
seats Mr. Thaw put his three people in
their'seats and walked back of the seats
and stood in the rear for about a minute.

"Ws there any further conversation?"

"Yes. Thaw asked me who had the seat
next to mine. I said I didn't know. He
said thev seemed to be good seats and
asked if I would mind his sitting down
beside me. I said- all right. Thaw sat
down and offered me a cigar. I said, "No,
thank you." and he said. 'How's that:

took out his cigarette case and offered
me one. He struck a match and lit my
cigarette and his cigar.
"He asked me how I liked the play,
and I said I did not care for it very
much. He said, "It is rather different from
those you usually see on the roof garden.
It is rather a relief to see it, and I think
it will be a success.' I said, 'I doubt it.'
"A few moments later he said. 'What
are you doing in Wall Btreet now? Any
speculating?' I answered that I did not
speculate in Wall street. He said he
thought there was a great chance In cop
per. He mentioned Amalgamated and one
other. He also said steel was very good:
he could not see why steel stocks were

bigger business than ever. He said if
he had any money he would put it in
steel and copper, particularly copper.
Then suddenly he said, 'Where are you
going this Summer?" I told him that I
was going to Europe on Thursday. He
wanted to know what Bhip I was going
on, and when I told him he said he did
not like the ship. He said he was going
on the Araerlka because he could get on
that ship a large suite of rooms and could
have his meals served in his apartments.
Offers Introduction to Girl.
"Then he said, 'Are you alone over
here?" I told him that I had left my
wife In Parts. He said: 'Are you a very
much married man?' I asked him what
he meant. He said: 'Are you so much
married that you are above meeting a
very nice girl?' I asked him what he
meant, and if the girl was upon the gar
den. He said no. I asked him again
what he meant and he said:
" 'Well, I am going away and I will
give you her address, or arrange a meet

"I asked him what sort of a looking girl'
she wan, and he said she was a buxom
brunette, not very good looking, but a
very nice girl. I told him I did not think
I cared about it, and he said he was
sorry.
"He asked me if I knew any of his
party and" I told him I knew Mr. Mc
Caleb and had met Mr. Beale that after
noon. He said it was strange I had never
seen him before.
"Then he said to me: 'Don't you re
member an occurrence several years ago
of two men and a woman but no, you
would not remember you were too
young.' I told him that I was perhaps
older than he thought. When I told him
that I was well past my 50th birthday he
expressed surprise.
"Then ho stood up and looked over the
audience again, from left to right. He
then walked down the aisle toward the
entrance, looking over the audience.
When he arrived at the entrance he stood
there for a moment, looking back over
the audience. Then he came back down
the aisle, looking in the same direction "
"What direction?" asked Mr. Delmas.
Movements Before Shooting.
"Towards the place where he subse
quently shot Wrhite. Then Mr. Thaw re
turned to where his people were sitting
and Mr. McCaleb gave up his seat to him
and Mr. McCaleb came over to mo and
sat down in the chair. We talked a few
minutes and then Mr. Thaw came over
to us. He stopped for a moment and then
went down the aisle, looking to the left.
Thaw went out of the Garden at the en
trance by the elevator and was gone for
two minutes. Then he reappeared, still
looking about him. Then he looked up
nto the galleries, approached the gallery
steps and went up. He came down a lit
tle later and passed me and nodded. He
walked on to where his party was sit
ting. "As soon as he arrived the whole party
got up and prepared to go. Mrs. Thaw
and Mr. McCaleb went first and then
came Thaw and Beale. As they passed
Beale stopped and spoke to me for a few
moments. Very soon after this I heard
three pistol shots and saw a cloud of
smoke. Then I saw Thaw aiming his -pis
tol at tne ground. I said:
' 'Why, that's Harry Thaw."
'Never mind what you said," corrected
Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmas in unison.
'I went, to the entrance, keeping my
eyes on Thaw all the while. Then I saw
a man lying face down on the floor. The
man's face was so blackened with pow
der that I did not recognize my brother-in-law.
and left the place without know
ing who the man was."
Told Story to His lawyer.
'The witness is with you." said Mr.
Jerome, turning to Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Delmas questioned the witness as
to what he did after the tragedy.
"To whom did you first relate the story
as you have told it here?" asked Mr. Del
mas.
"To my lawyer, Mr. Blackwell, a few
days after the tragedy."
"And you told him what you have told
here?"
"Yes. I also told mv lawyer that, if
Thaw claimed he was drunk, he did not
know what he was talking about."
'Never mind what you told your law
yer.'.' said Mr. Delmas.
Mr. Smith was excused.
Photograph of Affidavit.
Rudolph Eckmyer. the photographer
who took the "tired butterfly" and other
pictures of Evelyn Nesbit. was called to
the stand and shown several negatives.
He identified two of them as negatives of
the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit Is alleged to
have made in Hummel's office. The orig
inal affidavit was destroyed. A photo
graph had been taken of it. however.
by the same man who had been employed
by White to take pictures or Miss resoit.
Mr. Jerome hopes to introduce the nega
tive as a foundation for putting In evi
dence the copy of the affidavit.
"Were you ever employed in the Camp
bell studio?" asked Mr. Jerome.
"I was at one time the manager."
Two negatives were shown the witness.
He said there was in Campbell's studio a
system of numbering negatives. Two
photographs were shown- him and he was
asked if he took them. Before he could
reply Mr. Delmas objected. Mr. Jerome
produced the record and read from it the

the trial to the effect that the defense
would not take advantage of the privilege
to controvert testimony.
Offers to Prove Alibi for White.
"Now I offer to prove by this witness
the exact date on which these pictures
were taken, which was, Mrs. Thaw testi
fied, the day before she was ravished by
Stanford White. And I further offer to
prove that on that occasion Stanford
White was not where she said he was,"
said the District Attorney.
I have nothing to say except to Insist
on my objection," said Mr. Delmas. Mr.
Delmas then asked that all that Mr.
Jerome had said be stricken Xrom the
record.
Mr. Jerome replied by stating that the
remarks could not be stricken from the
record, as they were addressed to tiie
court In a legal argument.
"On the other hand," he said, I ask
that the court now instruct the jury that
the ravishment of this girl, which has
been testified to. Is not an issue in this
case."
Mr. Delmas Insisted on striking the re
marks from the record. Justice Fitzger
ald instructed the Jury that they were not
to consider any remarks that were made
by the attorneys to the court, but con
fine themselves to the testimony.
Mr. Jerome asked that an early ad
journment be taken, saying he desired to
consult with his assistant, Mr. Garvan,
at the latler's home.
Jerome's Further Evidence.
'I will state for the benefit of the de
fense," continued Mr. Jerome, that I will
have but two more witnesses, Abraham
Hummel and his stenographer, before
ending my case with tnree experts. I
can't say how much time I will require
on this action, but my direct examination
of experts will require but one day. Thus,
after the defense offers what it may in
sur-rebuttal, we come to the summing
up. I shall want three or four hours."
It was finally stipulated that each side
should have a day for summing up, so
as to permit of uninterrupted arguments.
It was 3:06 o'clock when adjournment
until tomorrow was taken.
After court adjourned, Mr. Jerome and
Mr. Delmas had a long conference regard
ing the hypothetical question to be asked
the prosecution's experts. Mr. Jerome
will finish the question tomorrow, when
he and Mr. Delmas will hold a conference
as to the exact wording of the question.
This will be done in an effort to prevent
taking up the time of the court in argu
ments. The question will then be print
ed and submitted to all the experts, that
they may become thoroughly familiar
with it before it Is asked in court.
Mr. Jerome's statement today as to his
remaining witnesses disposes of the re
port that he would call Howard Nesbit to
contradict his sister. It also means that
he has suddenly changed his mind about
calling Mazie Follette.

Mementoes of Thomas JJast.
New Tork Herald.
Four mementoes of the famous artist
and caricaturist, Thomas Nast, have
been presented by Mrs. Nast to the
New York Historical Society. They are
a bust of Mr. Nast. a quaint Jug, a
proof of the first cartoon in which the
now famous Tammany tiger was used,
and a big artist's pencil.
The bust, which is a composition of
clay, of a peculiar reddish brown color,
was modeled by D'Amore. It is a good
likeness and has not that dead look
so often seen In clay modeling. The
bust was presented td Mr. Nast and
had been in his possession for years,

The cartoon, the first proof of which
is in possession of the Historical So
ciety, was drawn on boxwood by Mr.
Nast and afterward carved out by an
engraver. This cartoon was the last
one used by Harper's Weekly before
the Fall election of 1871.
The Jug was presented to Mr. Nast
when he was at the height of his fame
as a cartoonist by a Mr. Kilpatrick,
of St. Louts. It is made of a very
heavy earthenware and, like the bust,
is of a peculiar reddish color. The de
sign is that of a snake, which has

tures of Tweed, Connolly, Hall and

While Mr. Nast was on a lecturing
tour in 1873 he was presented with an
Immense pencil. The donor - said that
the pencil was typical of the famous
artist's forceful blows against corrup
tion. The pencil Is about 15 Inches
in length and the lead Is an Inch in
width.

Weakness
Functional weakness in men Is
in reality a comparatively simple
ailment, and is but a symptom of
local disorder, a state of chronic
inflammation of the prostate
gland. No stimulating treatment,
whether internal or locally ap
plied, can do more than excite
tamporary activity. By mv system
of local treatment I restore ab
solutely normal conditions
throughout the organs involved,
which promptly results In com
plete and permanent restoration of
strength and vigor. This treat
ment is original with me. and is
the onlv radical and certain cure
yet devised.
Varicocele
Varicocele Is a relaxation, knot
ting and twisting of the most vital
blood vessels of tha organic sys

cesses of waste and repair. Neg

Great Britain's sea power is more than
equal to the combined navies not of any
two but of any three other countries in
the world. The figures cited by Sir Wil
liam White cover the six years ended on
March 31. 1906, and compare the tonnage
of first-class battleships built and com
pleted for sea by the United Kingdom,
Germany, France and the United States
during that period. Great Britain con
structed vessels aggregating 348,385 tons;
Germany, 143.122 tons; the United States,
110,210 tons, and France, 44,285 tons. It Is
obvious that the aggregate tonnage built
during the sexennial term by the three
countries last named fell short of the
tonnage created in the same time in tha
United Kingdom by 50,000 tons.
