The exclusive announcement In lut Thursday's Timet that the Pa-clfle Electric Railway had more than doubled its original appropriation for lta great car thopa at Torrance and that the entire project to to be ruined to completion In the shortest possible time was an Important piece of industrial news. The enlargement of the company's plans, like the tremendous shipbuilding enterprise announced for the harbor district a week before, Is the direct outgrowth of the Imperative demand Imposed upon Industry by the war. These and other notable manufacturing projects known to be shaping to meet the increased requirements of production due to the entrance of America into the world conflict lead to the. inevitable conclusion that the deplorable war into which this country has been forced is bound to energise industry in this section as has no other influence in our history. The shipbuilding project, articles of Incorporation for which were filed yesterday, was launched on account of the demand for new bottoms to replace the craft transferred from the regular lanes of commerce In the Pacific to the submarine-infested Atlantic.

Had not this de-- mand existed, and had it not been for the certainty that new demands would arise from the entrance of the United States into the war, Los Angeles might not have had really ship yards and dry docks for a decade to come. As it is, this city, with a $6,000,000 ship plant to start with, will be in a position to compete in this Important industry with other coast cities from this time forth. We have not wanted this war that has come upon us. but we can thank the Kaiser and his advisers for giving us a mighty industry that has always heretofore appeared to be Just beyond our attainment.

The Pacific Railway officials are wisely anticipating the inevitable shortage of cars that will arise when all the machinery of transportation in the country has been mobilized by the military authorities for the complicated business of war. They expect to be prepared for all emer- On tmmiTit or unit of SW25. Fr went-ptt ihi ituirne fiTr uiuly ntfv Ve'Of A. BOH9 COOikft 11 Ham Bkl 10fl9 BdT. 859.
