Daniels Informs Senate of Allotment
Made for Charleston.

Washington, Feb. SIN response
to a resolution passed by the senate
at the instance of Senator Tillman,
Secretary Daniels has informed that
body of the allotment the navy de-
partment has made of the $6,008,-
900 appropriated in the last naval
act to be used at the discretion Of
the secretary to equip certain yards
for building warships.
The secretary reports that $780,
900 of the amount is to 60 to the
Charleston yard, 100000 to Puget
Sound, s1,250,000 to Norfolk and
s3,000,O00 to Philadelphia.
The pending naval appropriation
bill carries an item Of $12,000,000
in addition to the s6,000,000 in the
last act for the same purpose, and II
the difficulty with Germany should
assume a more serious aspect the
naval activities Of the government
would be greatly increased. In the
latter event, immense lump sums
would probably be put at the discre-
tion of the president for naval and
military emergencies.
Indeed, one of the house leaders
said today that in his opinion the
chief effect which hostilities with
Germany would have upon the Unit
ed States would be heavy increase
in the expenditures of this country.
He thought it would make the defeat
of Germany certain.

a downtown apartment house, says
the Philadelphia Press. The other
night young doctor who lives there
returned at about 10 o'clock and
asked whether there had been any
one to call on him during his abb
sence.
"Yas," replied the Dane. "Dere
vas two"
"Who were they?"
"Huh?"
did they leave their cards?"
"Dare cards?"
Eyes, yes! Did they tell you their
names?"
The Dane smiled.
"Oh-h-h! Vas, dey dole me defe
names. 1t was Mr.. Not Much und
his wife"
And not until next day did the
doctor discover that his guests were
some old Boston friends-Mr. and
Mrs. Blank Doolittle.

Sinking Million Tons q Month.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Germany's
ruthless submarine warfare, con-
tinued with the success of the past
three days, would destroy within q
short time a great part of the worlds
merchant tonnage. Officials here es-
timated today on records for the
three days since expiration Of the.
time allowed in the German procla-
nation for ships at sea on February
1 to get into port that vessels were
being sunk at the rate of nearly a
million tons a month, the amount
German naval authorities set as
necessary to starve the British Isles.
At that rate it would take just four
years to destroy the tonnage of the
entire world, 4s,000,000 tons, Il all
the worlds ships ventured into the
war zone.
Lloyds reports puts the tonnage
sunk February S, 6, and z at about
IS, 900 tons.
The world turned out in 1916 less
than two million tonnage of mer-
chant vessels. During the year the
Germans sank trifle more than
that, making the net loss In worlds
shipping about IL per cent.
Ship manufacturers in all the al
llied and neutral countries are rush.
| ing work on merchant ships. Vessels
have been standardized and it Is al-
most impossible to have made any
where ship of special construction.
The British government is having
built great steel cargo ships all alike
and of the simplest construction. The
yards are busy night and day on their
construction and as they are of the
ways keels will be laid for more.
There are no figures to show the
amount of tonnage constantly on the
seas, carrying goods to and from the
British Isles. United States customs
reports show that about million
and a half tons clear from American
ports every month, but as some YES
sells clear twice the figures are mis-
leading. About the same amount OF
tonnage arrives monthly from Ed
ropean ports. OF the 4S,000,o00
| tons of merchant ships in the
world Great Britain owns about 20,-
600 900 tons. The United States is
second with little more than 6,000,-
900 tons, of which 100000 tons is
in lake and river trade. In Ameri-
can ports there are ninety-five Ger
man merchant vessels of 100000 tom
mage, which put in for haven at the
outbreak of the war.

Special to mothers for preserving
children: Take one large, grassy
field, one half-dozen children, two or
three small dogs, pinch of brook
and some pebbles Mix the children
and dogs we'll together and put them
into the. field, stirring constantly;
pour the brook over the pebbles,
sprinkle the field with flowers, spread
ever all a deep blue sky, and bake in
the hot sun. When brown, remove
and set away to cool in a bath tub.
Serve with good switch or hair
brush, if any should become mad or
contrary. JET.
