SYSTEM NEEDED
FOR SHIPYARDS
Great Britain is spending some
thing like $25,000,000 a clay on the
war. The Emergency Fleet corpora
tion is spending from $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000 a day on one detail of
this country’s war program; that is
to say, the provision of ships. And
the fountain head of this stream of
millions is located on the third floor
of a building the lower stories of
which are occupied by a 5-and-10
cent store. From the office of the
auditing division the enormous ex
penditures of the Fleet Corporation
are distributed to every part of the
United States, as well as to the
Philippines and Great Britain, where
supplies essential to the construction
of ships are purchased and paid for.
Under the control of this office
every cent of these enormous sums
is accounted for, as are also the my
riad items of property of every kind
for which the money is spent. Up
to March 1, $392,000,000 had al
ready been disbursed by the Fleet
Corporation, but this sum, large as it
is, shrinks into significance when it
is considered that the present pro
gram of the Fleet Corporation al
ready contemplates expenditures of
more than $2,000,000,000.
The home office of the auditing
division is the hub or center of two
far-reaching organizations, one of
men and one of records. Reporting
to the Washington office are four
traveling auditors, who cover, re
spectively, the North Atlantic coast
and Great Lakes, the fabricated ship
yards, the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, and the Pacif coast. Under
the traveling auditors are local or
district auditors, each of whom, in
turn, has his office staff and his
resident auditors at any shipyard or
manufacturing plant where the in
terests of the Fleet Corporation re
quire constant auditing supervision.
The general ledger of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation is likewise
a center from which radiate lines
of communication and control to
hundreds of subsidiary records. Each
district and local auditor keeps a
ledger covering all the transactions
under his jurisdiction.

venient, a real investment.—WAR

A NON-SINKABLE
BOAT WILL BE
BUIUJY U. S.
The Shipping Board has decided
to build a vessel along the line de
signed by Hudson Maxim. Mr. Max
im’s device can be placed in a ship
and later, if it is found not to be
effective as he claims, It can be re
moved and the ship used in regular
service. The Maxim device pos
esses many points which seem prac
ticable. The Shipping Board feels
that some start should be made to
ward producing nonsinkable ships.
Thousands of designs have been
submitted to the ship protection
committee, which has worked faith
fully in trying to arrive at con
clusions and make recommendations
thereon. Now that an inventor of
Mr. Maxim’s reputation has sub
mitted a plan it is thought wise to
build the first nonsinkable ship of
the type proposed by him.
Mr. John A. Donald, chairman of
the ship protection committee, said
that several methods for protecting
vessels from submarine attack had
been considered and that the In ard
is now engaged in making special
tests of these.
“There are,” he said, “two sys
tems of protecting vessels against
underwater attack. One method is
to prevent the torpedo from reach
ing the hull. Another, the inside
method, is designed to make a vessel
unsinkable if a torpedo should ri i ch
the hull. Mr. Maxim's principle is
along the line of inside protection
—that is, intended to keep a vessel j
afloat after it has been damaged by
a torpedo.”

"WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE
“UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
