The number of suicides in the city of
Paris has decreased from Is to 20 week
in ordinary times to only about two a

suggested that this decrease is due to
curiosity, every one being so anxious to
see what the outcome of the war will be
that they refrain from taking their own
lives, hoping for French victory.

IN DEFENSE OF DANIELS

'Bosh!" The exclamation was one Of
disgust and indignation. Facts and fig
ures tell their own story. The navy was
5000 short of the number of enlisted men
allowed by law; over 5000 have been added
although more rigid examinations have
forced the rejection of five out of every
six. Only 81 per cent of honorably dis
charged seamen were re-enlistipg. For
more than a year about 80 per cent have
enlisted. Desertions have been cut in
half, and discipline has been improved
to an extent that has permitted the re-
storation of prison ship and discip-
linary barracks to normal uses No, sir.

who make the charge are guilty OF false

Admiral DeWey Makes
Vigorous Defense of the
United States Navy
of Manila Bay Declares Those Who Make Charges Against
Morale Navy It's Efficiency and the Ships Themselves
Are Guilty of acknowledgements Secretary Daniels
By GEORG e CREEL
In the New York World

For two years and more the United
State navy has been the subject of dis
cussion as bitter as it is confused. The
disputes between pacifsts and militarists,
between democrats and republicans, have
resulted in a Babel, and out of it all
have come prejudices that do not care TO
bother with facts.
The people of the United States are en-
titled to the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. What is SANDER
and what is fact? Is the navy, as 1t
stands today, an asset or a liability? Is
the navy bill honest and adequate, or
a dose of "eye wash?' Has Secretary
Daniels "demoralized? Is he a faithful
public servant, worthy of support or a
joker
One man only has the authority and
possesses the exact knowledge to answer
dispassionately these questions. That man
is Admiral George Dewey. He has been
in the United States navy since 1854,
serving through two wars. Since 1903
he has been head of the general board,
passing upon naval defects, naval needs
and naval plans. No administration has
power to hurt him. BY law he is ex-
empted from the usual retirement pro-
visions, and if he does decide to retire, it
will be of his own voltion and at full
pay. No partisan quarrel has ever had
power to drag him from his height.

GERMAN LOAN EMPTIED

Liebknecht Said to Have Re.

y Cseis n Tn. Tribune !

London. April 17.-"The Telegraph's'
Rome correspondent says that, accord
ing 20 indirect information from Ber-
lin. DR.. Liebknecht disclosed fact o.
considerable gravity during the sitting
Of the Reichstag on April regarding
the latest German loan. The presi-
dent. ministers and Deputies alike
made the most determined efforts TO
prevent DR.. Liebknecht from speaking,
and the censorship prevented the news
papers from publishing ANYTHING about
II.
Persons in Germany do not know. or
know only imperfectly, what DR.. Lieb-
knecht said. but great fear prevails
in Germany that. 70 cover the loan. the
government emptied the savings banks
and kindred institutions The ten
milliard loan is colossal mystifca-
ton, and DR.. Liebknecht would seem
20 have disclosed this in the Reichs,ag
in two or three sentences heard in The
tumult.
After the sitting it was made I'M
possible for Dr. Liebkncoht 70 com
municste with any newspaper. There
was a demand for his arrest. but the
government was afraid 70 take this
step. fearing the indignation Of the
working classes whose savings had been
commandeered.
The conclusion 20 be drawn from the
above j.. tina. i wil, be impossible for
Germany to float any further loan.
Echoes of the scandal must have
reached Austria Hungary, and will
have a prejudicsl effect on Austro-
Hungarian borrowing.

TURKS JUSTIFY
PORTUGAL AFFAIR
Declare Torpedoing of
Hospital Ship by Sub
marine Was Right.

Berlin. April 1s (by wireless, 70
Tuckerton, y. JD.-The Turkish gov
err ment announces that the Russian
hospital ship Portugal, sunk in the
Black Sea last month. was torpedoed
by a Turkish submarine. The state
ment was given out to-day By the
Overseas News Agency, as follows:
THE Turkish government publishes
the following report Of the commander
Of the Turkish submarine which sank
the steamship Portugal:
"The ship was sighted on the night
OF March % and 80. II was steering
toward a landing place. When day
break came il was ascertained that
the ship was laden heavily and that it
was towing several heavily loaded
punts, with numerous occupants. The
commander and other officers of the
submarine were justified In believing
the ship was a transport which was
on the way TO land troops and sup
plies. The ship was painted gray. with
a small red line, and few the Russian
merchant flag. ~ Ned Cross flag was
flying and the name of the ship was
invisible.
The first torpedo did not hit. After
the explosion Of the second torpedo,
which struck below the bridge, vio-
lent explosion occurred within the
sA:r. Th;s explosion 3adorSteGiy was
due 70 large quantities Of explosives
stored in the ship. Immediately af.
ter this a destroyer attacked the sub
marine.
The Russian affirmation that the
ship was struck by two torpedoes Is
untrue.
"The Turkish government regrets u
persons exclusively in the Red Cross
service persisted, but the responsible
ity rests on the Russian government,
which transported these persons on a
vessel which was being used for war
purposes against the Turks.
Provisions of the conventions
adopted al The Hague stipulate that
hospital ships must be painted white,
with green or red stripe one and
one-half metres long. and also must
fly the Red Cross flag"
