BRITISH PROPOSE MORE
STRINGENT SHIPPING CONTROL

Claim Depletion Of Supply Of Ton
mage as Result of Submarine Action
Must Be Met by Increased Measures
London.-The continued depletion
Of the worlds supply OF tonnage as
result Of the operations Of the SUBJ
marines Of the Central Powers will
be met by an increase in stringent
measures by which the Entente Al
lies design to control shipping, so as
to ensure it being used TO the best
advantage Of the Allies and prevent
it even indirectly aiding their oppon-
ents. according to statement made
to the Associated Press by Lord
Robert Cecil, Minister Of War Trade.
Lord Robert admitted that even the
present rate OF destruction without
considering the possibility OF a re-
sumption OF unrestricted submarine
warfare. meant a serious loss to the
worlds tonnage and that consequent
ly it would not be expected that
British coal or ether British facii-
tiles should be expended on ships
carrying goods to blacklisted firms.
The Entente Allies will increase their
shipping measures, which already are
proving valuable in making the best
use Of available tonnage in proper
tion as the Germans succeed in de-
stroying merchant ships.

Washington. - Whether Francisco
Villa again has become a factor in
the military situation IN Northern
Mexico remained question OF con-
siderable doubt despite nearly a

attack on Chihuahau City.
Secretary Baker let it become
known that War Department officials
do not regard as conclusive the re-
port transmitted by Brig. Gen. Bell,
saying that Villa led the Chihuahua
City attack in person and the Me1i-
can Embassy announced receipt OF
official adyices declaring Villa was
not in the attacking force. The En-
bassy's report came from General
'Trevino, commander Of the garrison.
