u. S. WAR VESSELS
ARE KEEPING DOWN
LOSS BY SUBMARINES
Recognition is Given to the Flotilla in
British Waters by Officers of
the British Admiralty.

| London, May 24.--The sinking of Is
merchantmen Of more than 800 tons is
reported in the weekly shipping state
ment.
Nine vessels of less than l600 tons
and three fishing vessels also were sunk.
This weeks figures of vessels sunk by
submarines show that the allied navies
are keeping up the good work of the
previous fortnight and the American
unit, although still a small one. shares
the credit for excellent work. Not only
are the sinkings being kept at fairly
low figures, but the offensive against
U-boats also continues to show favor
able results. The actual figures in this
respect however, are not known.
The British admiralty this week wears
a pleased smile at the mention OF the
submarine campaign, for the results of
the naval work in the past two weeks
are regarded as readily indicating an
important victory over the Germans. The
German naval people throughout the
early months of the ruthless U-boat war
freely predicted that England would "be
on her knees" by June /, and gloomy
pictures were painted of grim famine
certain by that date for the people OF
Great Britain and France.
June | is almost here, and German
victory in the submarine warfare seems
as far distant as ever. There has been
a constant improvement in the methods
of the allies in opposing and suppress
ing U-boat activity and these methods
have become more and more successful
with longer days and finer weather In
familiarity on the part of the
shippers of merchantmen with the meth
ods OF naval control An admiralty Off
eial, speaking to the Associated Press,
said:
"The American destroyers are playing
no small part in the anti-submarine war,
and our officers have expressed the great
est enthusiasm at the spirit, enterprise,
acumen and quick wittedness with which
the American unit has taken up its
work. 1t is the old American doctrine |
IF keeping everlastingly at it.
"The Germans. who at first said they |
would strip us of our tonnage by June |
/, have now advanced the date to 0c-
tober and we are confident that when |
October comes they will be under the
same necessity of advancing the date
again"

Fed by tho Hands They BIZ

The L. w. w. is not credited
with the possession of sense of
humor; as an organization bent on
violence and destruction, it does
not cultivate the amenities. Yet
its most obtuse members must see
something ironical in the plight of
their fellow agitators who were de.
ported and left to starve in the
wilds of New Mexico. The oppos-
ed to all government, they must
rely on the Government to feed and
protect them. They are obliged to
appeal for assistance to the very
law and order which they desire
and to the hated army which is the
tool of capitalism and the instru-
ment of industrial oppression to
save them from starvation.
They are, in fact, feeding from
the hand they are accustomed tc
bite, surely a pretty condition of
things for an organization which
