Tho answer aa conceived by P.

object
Germany la now sinking tonnags
faster than all tho marine-yards otthe
world can build it Thls'is the conclu
sion to be drawn from the .February
reports, say "those who bare studied
the question.
The Clark plan Is to build a new
type of ship, one which can evade the
submarine. "The American motor ship"
is the name suggested. It would be a
vessel of 1,000 tons burden, extraordi
narily fleet and agile, for the answer to
the submarine, says Mr. Clark. "Is la
a quick helm." The craft would ba

way they could be turned out In four"
months thereafter.
Can Build Many "8ea Jitneys."
Modern shipyards that are capable of
' turning out these "Jitneys" exist al-
ready on the Pacific coast and in the
Beaumont district In Texas, and their
present capacity Is 250.000 tons a year,
easily enlarged.
The 'cost would be relatively small.
A million tons. It Is estimated, could b
built for $100,000,000, which is equal to
oue-half of one day s expenditure for
the war. Crews would bo small and

The principle of these small freight

30,000 ton cargo at one stroke. Under:
the contemplated plan the submersible
would destroy only a thousand tons
with each shot
If tho average XJ boat leaves port
with fifteen torpedoes and makes th'
high average of CO per cent of hits
an especially high average against a
swerving, dodging mark a total of
freight It could send to the bottom'
would be between 7,000 and 8,000 tons.
In comparison a U boat which has
sunk one 80,000 ton ship may now have
fourteen torpedoes left with which to
pile up a total conceivably of 100,000
tons.
But this Is not the only point at
which jho effectiveness of the U boat
would be reduced. Tho motor ship
would bo essentially one of low visibil
ity. A steamship with Its column of
smoke can at present be sighted at a
distance of about thirty-five miles.

The motor .vessel, on the other hand.'
