Thus, the in- terned raider Kronprinz WILHELM, now at Newport News, of 14,908 tons gross, the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Errer Frrep- RICH, of 8,865 tons gross, which sought shelter at the port of Norfolk is now interned there, and one or two others, including Appam, are not shown in the tabulation, although these vessels would also be subject to seizure if hostilities begin between Germany and the United States. THE MARINE REVIEW ae aggressive plans of American capital for promoting foreign trade are rapidly unfolding them- selves to the public. The initial step rests on the control of shipping facilities and the outward activity, at present, is con- centrated on securing this control. The American International Corporation, re- cently organized by interests associated with the National City Bank of New York, is reported to have secured con- trol of the International Mercantile Marine Co., and to have purchased a large interest in the United Fruit Co. The Pacific Mail Steamship Co. was taken over by the American Inter- national Corporation and W. R. Grace & Co., some weeks ago. At the same time, the chartering de- partment of the New York & Porto Rico Steamship Co. has been taken over by the newly organized International Ship- ping Corporation. This company is con- trolled by the Atlantic, Gulf & West In- dies Steamship Co. The International Mercantile Marine Gor as “mow in the: chands ‘ofa: re- ceiver. The earnings of the company in recent months have been large. Plans for a reorganization will probably be adopted shortly and the receivership lifted. The company and all its sub- sidiaries in the first quarter of this year earned $13,724,765, an increase of $7,- 613,573 over the same quarter of 1915. The United Fruit Co. is engaged in the production, transportation and dis- tribution of tropical fruit from the West Indies and Central America to the United, States. It operates under owner- ship or charter about 100 vessels. Also it owns in its tropical divisions 1,031,480 acres of lands, operates 1,142,422 acres additional under lease, as well as con- troling about 1,000 miles of railways. Many of its vessels were changed from British to American registry when the war broke out. Seven of its ships are now under requisition by the British government. Control of these three steamship companies would make the American International Corporation the largest ship owner in the world. The Pacific Mail has 10 vessels, the International Mercantile Marine 125, and the United Fruit Co. 43, with more than an equal number under charter. The directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. have announced a_ pro- posed increase in the capital stock from $1,000,000 to $4,000,000. The increase is to finance the payment for the three Dutch liners, Ecuapor, Cotompia and anies Pure! American International Corporation Acquires More Steamship Lines—United Fruit Concerned June, 191 lased VENEZUELA, recently purchased, as out- lined in The Marine Review. These ships will probably be put in the trans- pacific service, from which the Pacific Mail withdrew last fall following the sale of its five largest ships to the Atlantic Transport Co. The International Shipping Corpora- tion, which will handle the chartering ‘business of the Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies interests, was incorporated a few days ago in Maine for $100,000. It will carry on a general ship brokerage and commission business and plans to extend its operations all over the world. Frank- lin D. Mooney is president of the new company. The other officers are: Vice president, A. R. Nicol, who is also treas- urer of the Atlantic, Gulf & West In- dies company, treasurer, W. C. Peek, president of the Clyde and Mallory lines; secretary and manager, Joseph C. Quirk, formerly manager of the char- tering department of the New York & Porto Rico company. The directors are, in addition to Mr. Mooney and Mr. Nicol, Galen L. Stone, Alfred G. Smith and H. H. Raymond. Offices have been opened at 11 Broadway, with Mr. Quirk in charge. A New Dutch Built Motor Ship By George Nicholson Bove: and powered by two great Dutch firms, the motorship Lara, recently accepted by the Anglo- Saxon Petroleum Co., London, England, constitutes the eighth vessel equipped with a Werkspoor 4-cycle diesel engine to be added to the company’s fleet within six years. The first was VULCANUS, a 1,000-ton tanker with a 500-horsepower Werkspoor engine. This craft is said to have effected for her owners an an- nual saving of about $11,000 per year over the cost of operating a steamship of equal horsepower. Lara’s principle dimensions are as fol- lows: Length over all, 190 feet; breadth over all, 32%4 feet; molded depth, 14 feet; displacement, 1,575 tons; dead- weight capacity, 875 tons. The ship was built by Pott Bros., Amsterdam. Her main engine is a 6-cylinder, 4-cycle Werkspoor diesel, single acting. rever- sible. There are two 3-cylinder sets. The cylinder diameter is 400 millimeters, the stroke being 700 millimeters. The engine develops 650 indicated horse- power at 175 revolutions per minute. The cylinders are supported on 16 turned
