regarded by- Hhlpplng interests every
where as "the eighth winder of the
world..' now offers tho port a modern
marvel In facilities for handling ocean
going trade.
"When pence returns, the United
States will be the leading maritime
nation on the earth, New York has
been, tints far, the leading pet of the
Ulllicu oirtli'a ucwtiuse in lis superior
Bhlpplng facilities. Now. at Hog Isl-
nnd, we hnve built seven great piers,
each 100 feet wide and 1000 feet long.
At these piers twenty-eight of the
largest ocean-going steamships can
load and unload their cargoes at the
same time.
'(SIvph Port llic Advantage
"In addition, we have built a
marginal wharf of 4000 feet, giving a
total frontage at the south end of the
Island nf 18,000 feet, or more than
three miles, where ships can be aV
commodated. This great ocean rail
terminal has direct connection with
, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Balti
more and Ohio, and the Philadelphia
and Reading. Philadelphia Is nearer
the. South by two hours than New
York, nearer the Southwest and
slightly nearer the West. Philadel
phia now has every advantage, and

110 acres of new land was created

Citing the fact (o indicate what the
Hog Island terminal Is worth to this

and wharf alone for more than It cost
to construct the whole Hog Island
project. Including thei-shipyard.
"This will be a revelation to those
critics of Hog Island who said we
wasted money there," remarked Mr,
Knight.
Hog Inland' Value Permanent
Hog Island was built up out of the

of approximately 158,000,000. At the

'Hog Island probably Is the one war
project that will be of permanent value
to the country," said Mr. Knight. "Its

virtually complete and ready for use. It
will not be necessary to spend another

The ICaiser lias had repeatedly to keep
Ills weaker partners up to the fight

tlie Allies are able lo follow the recent
successful blows on tbe Serbian and

have no time, unaided by Germany,
lo recover their morale.

bia will furnish elbow room for the
Allied army at Salonlca. the biggest
force the Allies have in the east, nnd
once that Is set In motion the east
will be, once again the theatre of the
war.
It is not at all clear that the Salon -
lea army, eogther with the other
smaller forces . that are operating
against liulgaria nnd Turkey, will not
be sufficient to put those two Powers
out of the war; but a large section of
American army opinion has always fa.
voreu senaing an American force to
