' Statistics in a study of "Ameri- F ca's Merchant Marine." by the Bank-1 ers' Trust Company of New York, in-' dicate that the losses totaled 343,- ? 090 gross tons of merchant shipping from August, 1914, until the armistice. Compared to the sea going ton-1 nage of over 11,000,000 ions repre-! sented by the 3,000 vessels now com-j prising the American merchant ma-j* rine, the loss of 343,000 tons thru enemy attack no longer seems large. * But this lost tonnage equaled the * total output of American shipyards ^ in 1914. It exceeds the tonnage built 1 in the United States in either 1915 ( or 1916. However, in 1917, responding to world demand, American ship- * m building struck its stride. Despite s ~ the sinking of 71,000 tons that year ^ and the loss of 159,000 tons in other ^ ^ ways, the increased output more than * ft made good these reductions. Ameri- ( ? can ship production^ 1917, totaled t ? 1,034,$96 tons. ' jc I: c | GAS TANK EXPLODES ^ Greer, Aug. 28.?John B. Smithed ^ young son of Mrs. \?an B.
