GREAT BRITAIN IS
IN LACK OF TONNAGE
DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO CARE
FOR THE COMMERCIAL NEEDS
OF THE COUNTRY
my Associated Press.J


LONDON. Jan. 26.--The question OF
tonnage for carrying the oversee trade
and particularly the growing scarcity
Of tonnage under the British mercan-
tile flag is causing good deal OF an
xiety. A week OF TWO ago, an un-
official announcement was made that
work might be resumed on mercantile
shipbuilding In various yards OF Great
Britain but so far no official confirma-
ton has been received and from the
meagre reports regarding government
orders in several yards 1t seems that
there is very little likelihood of a
transference of any quantity OF work
men from government to private con
tracts In the near future.
As about one-fifth of the total mer
camille tonnage of the country is com
mandeered for admiralty purposes
and during the four week ending Dec
ember 8, forty-nine vessels were sunk
In addition to the already large losses
Il will be seen that there is only 8
comparatively small margin OF boats
are left for carrying the country''
trade.

The fears, early in the war. that
Holland would be drawn into 1t sooner
or later have been gradually allayed
and now practically nothing is heard
of such probability, but prepared
ness for any eventuality continues to
be a popular policy. The Dutch Red
Cross is to be completely reorganized,
under the superintendence of high Off
cials of the army and navy medical
corps, and some of the most promin-
ent civilian medical authorities. The
headquarters of the society, which
have been in an inadequate building
near the United States legation here,
are to be moved TO large mansion
on Prinsessegracht, the former home
of an old Dutch aristocratic family
which is gift to the Red Cross from
four wealthy residents.
There has also been formed recently
committee of wealthy Hollanders
who are to present to the government
number of splendidly equipped am
bulance trains.
