The article focuses on ship-yards of the U.S. More than that, three ships were launched on July 3, 1918, fourteen could not be put overboard because of river conditions in Portland, Oregon, district, and for the navy there were set afloat seventeen war vessels, fourteen of them destroyers. Surely, if anything could convince sane Germans of the utter folly of their drawing the U.S. into the war, this ought to do it. For this tremendous twenty-four-hour achievement of the U.S. shipyards is only a beginning. Submarine Boat Corp. has launched three ships, expects later on to turn out three a week, and as for the Hog Island shipyard, it plans to build at the rate of a ship a day.
