German Says U.Boats Fail.

Washington. Nov. 14,-Germany
submarine warfare is failure, ac-
cording to a sensational article pub
iished in the Bcrliner Tageblatt by
Captain Persius. This information
was received by the United States
radio service from the French station
at Lyons and made public here today.
Persius not only admits that the
German people doubt the results Of
piracy without mercy but confesses
that the admiralty was wrong in its
calculations regarding the decisive ef-
fects OF the submarine campaign.

U-BOATS GOT ONE LAST WEEK
Loss to British Shipping is Low
Mark of Whole Campaign.

London. Nov. l4.-Only one Brit
ish merchant vessel Of more than
sixteen hundred tons was sunk by
mine or submarine last week, accord
ing to the weekly statement Of ship
ping losses issued tonight. This is
the low record since Germany began
its submarine campaign.
Five vessels OF less than sixteen
hundred tons and one fishing boat
were sunk during the week.
Not since Germany began her in
tensified submarine campaign Feb
ruary has the total number OF British
merchantmen sunk by mine or sub
marine been as small as the above
admiralty statement shows. The pre-
vious low record was twelve mer-
chantmen. eight OF them of tonnage
in excess of 1000 and four of them
less than 1900 tons.
The high crest of the wave OF Brit
ish merchantmen sunk was during
the week of April -. when forty
ships of 1000 tons and over and fif-
teen of less tonnage were sunk-a to-
tai of fifty-five. The next high rec
ord was the following week, when
thirty-eight vessels of the larger and
thirteen of the smaller category were
sent to the bottom.

If the coal famine at the State in

PRISONERS OF PARLIAMENT
Offenders May Be Shut Up in Clock
Tower, but Buy Own
Meals.

Few people are aware that the
houses of parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high up in the
clock tower is the M. P.'s prison, con-
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit
ting rooms, London Tit-Bits says.
The honorable member who has been
dishonored by Imprisonment for a
breach of parliamentary etiquette does
not have a very hard life in st. Steph-
ems prison. The prisoners meals are
sent up to him from the house of COM
mons kitchens and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
oner, he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authoritiesI
Perhaps the best remembered occu-
pant of parliament's prison was Mr..
Bradlaugh, who was sentenced by the
speaker to Imprisonment in the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to do.
Offenders against parliament other
than members have before now been
sentenced to Imprisonment III the clock
tower. These outsiders" have includ-
ed several public speakers and the edi-
tor of prominent newspaper.
