rotary Lane told the governors confer
ring with the Council of National De-
fense here today that the federal gov
ernment was informed that German
submarines sank 100000 tons of ship
ping during last week.
Secretary Lane said that submarines
are now threatening the existence of
France and England, and that he be-
licved the war would last several years.
He said that Herbert c. Hoover, former
director of the American commission
for relief in Belgium, had informed the
government that Germany has sufficient
food on hand to last two years, and
perhaps even longer. He urged the
necessity of building ships rapidly.
President Wilson, who also spoke to
the governors, said that every force of
the United States should be turned to-
ward the one supreme object of win

HUNDREDS Of AIR
MACHINES ARE LOST

LONDON, May 2.-Compilation of
statistics revealed in British, French
and German official communications for
the corresponding time shows the
Germans lost total of three hundred
and sixty-nine airplanes on the west
ern front during the month of April.
French and Belgian planes lost during
the same period numbered two hundred
and one, while British machines dam
aged beyond repair or felled by enemy
methods numbered one hundred and
forty-seven, total loss for the Entente
Allies of three hundred and forty-eight
machines, or twenty-one machines less
than were sacrificed by the Germans.
Notwithstanding the superior losses
sustained by the Teutons, control of the
air is now declared to rest with the
Entente. The figures referred to show
a great increase in the aerial losses
on both sides over any similar period
since the beginning of hostilities.
