WASHINGTON. D. C., May D. Lord Percy, the British shipping ex- pert, has informed the United States that the shipping problem is the one at present presenting the greatest diff flculty of solution. and that the sitna- tion is becoming daily more serious. The German submarines are sinking vessels faster than the Allies can build, and as a result of the food and munitions supplies are slowly but surely being cut off. The tonnage sunk by the German submarines is appalling. During the third week in April forty merchantmen of all na- tionalities were sent to the bottom by the Germans. The Allies hope for re- lief from this situation through the United States, and appeals to this AoV- crnment to hasten to their assistance.

BLUM & CO. LEASE
 SEATTLE BLOCK
TAKE POSSESSION
 IN NEAR FUTiE EF.
Company Has Decided Not [" Build "t Present, But Will Erect Concrete Building as Soon as the Present War Terminates.

Mir. Meyer Blum announced tilS morning that s. Blum & Company mad taken a lease on the Seattle hotel Block. and would occupy the sane in the near future with their cOnsOlidat- ed stores. MT. Blum stated that he had given considerable study to the matter of building new store to re- place the handsome structure destroy ed by fire last January. and after oh taining figures for the necessary ma terials and labor had concluded got to build at this time, as the cost of material was excessive. It was eSti- mated that this increased cost on 'he large building contemplated would eN- ceed by $5,OOO what the same mate rial would have cost previous to the war, and as a business proposition 1t was considered wiser to await normal conditions before starting cOnstruL- ton. Mir. Blum authorized the Pros pector to state that as soon as the War terminated s. Blum & Co. would erect building on the site of the f":- mer store of concrete that would far eclipse all previous structures. and be a credit to the town and to the com pany.
 In view of extremely high prices and unsettled conditions it was be- lieyed advisable to wait year befcre attempting to estimate on the size ar the structure to house the large Lusi- ess handled by the company. In the meantime the Seattle block will be rearranged to accommodate the several departments of the busi ness and they will all be brought un der one roof instead of being divide.. aS at present.
