Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Ships for war has meant the rehabilitation of numerous odd pieces of equipment unused for long periods, both in shipyards and in various other plants engaged in production of parts for ships. A discarded steam locomotive in a large Eastern plant is being turned up for use once again. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

American sailing delayed. Held for over a week in box cars on the Polish border, 1,200 demobilized Polish-American soldiers had a hard time waiting to get into the port of Danzig, on the Baltic sea, to sail for the U.S.A.

First the closing of the Kiel Canal and then a small overflow revolution in Danzig tied things up. This picture shows one of the main streets during the uprising
