CChurchfl disclosed for the first time the total naval losses of the war These. he said, are upwards of five thousand officers and men, the ma jority being victims of submarines.
 Churchill declared amid cheering that Great Britain had finally decided to clamp on every ounce of sea pres sure to choke off the German food supply in retaliation for the German submarine policy while Lloyd George drew additional cheering by reference 10 loans to countries which hhe said he expected to throw in their lot with the allies. These were countries not named.
 It is the first time reference has been made in parliament to such ex- pectations.
 The announcement of the govern ment's decision, in relation to Ger many's food supplies, came almost eos incidentally with thhe receipt of two dispatches from the United tates, one saying the German ambassador had informed the Washington govern ment that Germany was willing to abandon its submarine policy provided Great Britain ceased interfering with

NORTH SEA BATTLE SHOWS
 SHIPS DECKS ARE WEAK

LONDON, Feb. IS. The majority of the hits made by the batue-cruisers in the North Sea battle of January 24 struck upon the decks of the ships. The Naval Correspondent of the Globe in discussing this battle which was fought at long range with the shells reaching the height of some three miles in the curve of their projection, says it shows weakness of modern battleship construction that the decks were so easily penetrated. The decks he says, are the weakest and most vulnerable of all the above water parts of the up-to-date warship.
 Another lession he draws from this battle is that the ship fighting end-on is more likely to be hit than the one fighting broadside to the enemy "Tt has been generally believed" he says, that a ship fighting end-on stands the smallest chance of being hit. but that is no longer the case. The science of gunnery has been brought to such a standard that it is difficult for a com potent man to aim off the proper line of fire That is, he may be depended to send his shells in the right diree- tion Misses are mostly made by the shell falling short or passing over the target and it is therefore obvious that the longer the target is. not at right angles to, but parallel with, the flight of the shell, the greater will be the chance of hitting The effective target presented by a battleship end- on is really much greater than when she is broadside on besides, in the former position. losing whatever pro- tecuon might be afforded by her ver- tical sire armOr'

LAPS ARRANGE FOR A
 FRIENDLY TALK WITH US

TOXIC. Feb. 5.-Looldng to the preservation and promotion of friend ship between Japan and the United States, a committee of prominent Jan anese is to meet a committee or Americans to discuss the relations between the two countries The move ment was started on December 2 last year when, as already cabled the American Peace Society of Japan at its annual meeting voted to name 9 body of fifteen Americans resident in Japan to investigate and prepare a statement on the various questions existing between the two nations. The thought behind the project. which has now been taken up by the Japanese is that Japan has no intention to make war on the United tates and that the United tates has no idea of making war on Japan. However, it is deemed imperative to discuss the existing problems frankly and fully, and if possible suggest means of removing all misunderstandings
 As president of the Japan Peaca ociety, Count Okuma. the prime min ister. has named a committee to meet with the Americans The list is no. complete as yet but includes Baron saketani. mayor Of Tokio; Baron Shi- busawa. Dr. Nitobe Dr. soyeda, Wis count Naneko and others.

 An Associated Press correspondent who toured Northern France recently listened with some little degree Of in- credulousness as German officials in. sisted that the population of the oc. cupied country and of the cities were quiet and submissive, fairly happy and bore few traces of bitterness to- ward the invaders.
 The people, to be sure. showed no outward signs of resentment. NoI would those with whom the cores pendent talked admit of harboring ill feelings against the Germans. Never theless it seemed impossible that they could be reconciled to their position Then there entered into the problem the religious question-stronger piob ably in Northern France than any where else where lighting now Is go ing on.

 The correspondent scanned each face for some trace Of the bitterness he expected to find written there. Not one woman in an the audience of Q thousand cast even a resentful glance at the soldiers. Instead there was al- most universal approval as the French women walked by the rough German sOldlers-peasants mOstly-and saw their devotion.

 Among the newer bombs being man. ufactured here is chemical hand grenade with a charge which rips op- en the grenade and frees a liquid chem teal similar in general nature to the laughinggas used by dentists. Visi- tors to the factory are taken to an experimental trench close at hand and given an illustration of the effect which the explosion of one of these bombs has on a group of soldiers. To show that the gas has no unpleasant after effects. a squad of soldiers is sent into a trench in which a specimen bomb has been thrown The effect of the fumes is to bring water to the eyes in such quantities that the occu' pants of the trench would be quite in- capable of defending themselves for several minutes. Using weapon would be out of the question. The lpricking sensation in the eyes is not pleasant, but it is not painful and the effects completely wear off in a quar- ter of an hour.

windows Of the cathedral of St. Quen- tin there steamed the afternoon sun of an early May day-illuminating the strangest congregation that probably ever gathered in beautiful old Notre Dame. In the great nave there knelt fully a thousand women from all classes of the population. Three guar ters at least wore mourning-mute evidence that they had lost sons and husbands. brothers and lovers. The strains of a wonderful organ carried far into the streets about the cathe- dral, attracting more and more from outside.
 At first glance one saw the women in their deep mourning. Then, how ever, there came into view the drah gray uniforms of scores of Bavarian soldiers, kneeling, not on the little chairs but on the stone floor. Some held little prayer books and were mumbling prayers in German even while the French priest chanted ir his own language. As the music con tinued more and more soldiers enter ed the chuch, and, finding no room among the audience. knelt fin the real until the building was packed cleal to the doors

 It is along this section of the front that the Germans have brought into action the largest variety of chemical missiles, including, it is alleged, ether bombs. gas bombs and bombs contain ing innammable liquids. Against these the French are developing var iety of missiles the contents of which aim, not at k,.ing the enemy in ways prohibited by the Hague Conventions but merely at placing them out of the fighting for a limited space of time.
 The most common type of trench mortar manufactured in this factory is the crapouillot, or little trog." SO called on account of it's squat frog like appearance It is frequently made out of the enemy's shrapnel cases.
