AMEEICAN SHIPPING POSITION. The great expansion of\ American shipping that has taken nlace , ' since the United States resolved to enter the war hae brought many consequential problems in its train. There is the qxiestiou of the training of officers and crews, which ie being undertaken in thorough fashion. There is also'the problem of the full employment of this mercantile marine once it IB released from trar traffic, i This latter problem largely resolves itself jnto a question of the provision of docks, piers, marino railways, and torminal facilities in general at Atlantic. Gulf, and Pacific ports. A Port and Harbours Facilities ■Commission of the , United States Shipping Board liaß:been appointed to exam r . me the question with a vlow to future developments. A complete inventory of port facilities has been undertaken, states the "ShippinK- World." every port used by ocean-going traffic having been reguestcd to forward to the Commission, detailed data concerning its docks, marine railways, terminal arrangements' in general, repair plants, and the entrances and clearances of its domestic and foreign trade-all this data, covorinff a period of flvo years. Full information is aleo required as to the type of facilities of docks and -repair plants, and whether their location ie advantageous for the most efficient handling of ships. Ports; where coal and oil aro handled are required to supply the Commission with full information about their facilities for handling the trade in these .primary necessities. Hero is perhaps the most important of all the coastwise trades in -which"past performances have been hampered by inadequate facilities—a trado as revealed during the paet two .years, limited only by reason of shipping and port facilities. . • ■-' LOSSES THROUGH ENEMY ACTION. Dr. Macuamara announced that during the'war, to September 30, the gross tonnage of British-merchant vessels lost by-enemy action and marine risk amounted to 8,946,CC0 tons. Tho amount ■which has been made up by new construction, tonnage purchased abroad and enemy ships captured and brought into Bervice is 5,433,000 tons, leaving a net deficiency of 3,503,000 tone. The last date on;' which a. British ship, or ship of other nationality wae sunk by enemy action viae in the Mediterranean, on November.2.:. • .. ,;'■, FLORA LEAVES' AUCKLAND.. 'After; being delayed eX Auckland for nearly' two months tho Island . steamer Flora sailed for the Eastern Pacific on Monday night. She arrived at Auckland from the Islands on November 9, and should, under ordinary circumstances , , have sailed again for the Islands a week later. This, was prevented owing to some ol her crew being laid up with influenza after arrival here and the shortage /of seamen at the time preventing others from being shipped to fill their places; Consequently the rest of the crew were' paid off until a. sufficient number could bo obtained to man tho vessel. It was not until Monday, states the , "Herald," that a full complement wae obtained, and the Vessel sailed in the evening. :, MAPOURIKA FROM NELSON. The" Mapourika. from Picton and Nelie due to arrive'at 6 o'clock this morning and will berth ■at the Jervois Quay Wharl. ' . ■ ■ , , : Stress, of weather necessitated the re- , turn to tort' yesterday morning of two units of the mosquito fleet. The Wairau left for Blenheim at 2.10 a.m. and return, ed at 7 i.m., and the- Baden Powell, which, left late on Tuesday evonvng, put : back at,the sa-mo hour. Both vessels got, away in' tho afternoon. . ' ■ ■ . 'Due to leave Napier last evening, the Monowai is Expected at Wellington to- , day, and mil leave for tho south this evening. -, ' • ' .. . ■ >.'. The Waimea, which is due here on Friday,from Tarakoho, will leave the same day for Nelson and West Coast ports. The Kaiapoi .was to have left' Melbourne via Blufl, Eunedin, and. Lytteltpu on Monday. ,-,-.. , ... The Union CoApany notifies that their steamer,KaitanW'M. , is t-o leave Melbourne to-day for Wellington direct. - The Union Comitany announce that the Orsova will be kiVing Sydney at the end of February or ljogianing of March for. London, via Suez. . fihe will flrst and second-class pistengers only. ,; • The Australian toiaiMi- i-wuous. which discharged a. cargo, "of paaiin freni Noumea at tho King's .Wharf. Auckland, was to have loaded a, full cargo of timber At ;, that • port for i Melbourne. After teking I in about, 25Q000 Ifeeuthe supply'was e:v Ihausted, and no mori timber is,in sight. It. was then arranged. that she was to go to Bokianga. to codplete, but advice last received states that no timber will be available until the middle of the month, In the meantime the future movemente of' the vessel are undecided.
