SUBMARINE TOLL

ANOTHER WEEK SEES GERMANY
FALL DOWN ON THEIR HER.
Aided U-BOAT HORRORS.
ONLY 81 VESSELS ARE SUNK
Weekly Report BY British Admiralty
Shows Loss Of Only 81 Vessels
Above 1000 Tons-Nearly
5000 Vessels Sailing.

London TWcnty one British ves-
three of less than 1000 tons each.
were sunk last week by mines or sub
| marines, according to the weekly ad-
miralty report on shipping losses.
One fishing vessel was also sunk.
The admiralty's statement follows:
Arrivals, 2,79l, sailings, 2,79l.
British merchantmen sunk by mine
or submarine, over 1000 tons, includ
ing two previously, q; under 1000
tons, 8.
British merchant vessels unsuc-
cessfully attacked, including three pre-
viously, 10.
British fishing vessels sunk, H.
The announcement of the British
admiralty shows an increase Of seven
vessels of more than 1000 tons sunk
as compared with IA the previous
week. In the smaller category the
loss given in the report of the pre-
vious week is one less, while there
was falling off by seven In the mum
ber of fishing vessels sunk.
The report Of the weeks sinkings o.,
British merchantmen would have
shown the low record except for
couple Of days, when the Germans had
unusual luck ENen with these excep,
tional days. the total is considered to
have been about normal" The u
boats for the previous fortnight had
been kept down to minimum, but for
the current week an upward tendency
III the curve would not have been un-
expected, in view of the vigorous Of
fensve efforts which the Germans
now are putting forward on all fronts
and which no doubt are reflected in
the orders to the submarine command
ers TO support the land offensive by
strenuous efforts on "the submarine
front"
On the whole the navy may be said
to be fairly we'll satisfied with tho
progress being made against the un-
derwatsr enemy and the feeling is
that time is all on the side of the al.
lies, as every week sees antisubmarine
methods developing and the cC-ordina,
tion of the various parts of the anti.
submarine campaign improving. In
the meantime, the ship building pro.
gram is being pressed forward, while
in another month the weather and day
light conditions will begin to tell
against the submarines.

REPUBLIC WILL Be
ORDERED BY RUSSIA
DECREE ESTABLISHING REPUBLL
CAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT
WILL BE PROCLAIMED.
MASSES ARE IMPOSED UPON
herman Agents Even Were Trusted
BY PeopIe-Author Says Men
Who Fled From Front Were
Slaves Of Black Hundred"

Petrograd. The provisional govern
ment now intends to publish decree
establishing a republican form Of gov.
Srnment throughout Russia before the
constituent assembly cOnvenes.
Leonid Andreyev. one of Russia s
foremost authors, advised tho Russian
people throughout the world not to de-
spsir at the situation now prevailing,
Don't despair" he said. Every
thing still may be saved. Lose no
faith IN the revolution. Remember our
revolution is only four months old,
while the autocracy which 1t has over
Thrown reigned for thousand years,
distortng the physiognomy Of the Rus
sian people, killing the ideals Of civic
duty, liberty and conscience and ere
ating millions Of slaves. That autOC-
racy filed Russia with rogucs and
mnrderers, horse thieves and spies.
"The ignorant masses have trusted
everybody, even those persons who
were instigated by German agents as
provocateurs and those ambitious mad
men who are thlrsting for power. Thus
the mob was ready to attack the gov
ernment, the people. cities, women,
children-even themselves. Like fright
ened horses, they refused to leave the
Burning stables.
'"Those disgraceful men who fled
from the front or surrendered or be.
trayed their comrades are slaves Of
sae Black Hundred Those who
stopped that mad flight and who with
bleeding hearts but steady hands, shot
down the fleeing slaves they are the
men Of young liberty,
THAT same liberty Is enlightening
their minds and their conscience.
To-day is terrible. TO me the near
future appears as terrible to contem-
plate
Il have seen bearded men weep
while they read the newspaper ac-
counts of what is happening. The
smile is gone from the faces of our
unfortunate city appears to me to be
mournful and deserted, but in her suf-
fering and tears Russia will find her
strength
with all the great power which lies
In her spirit she will tear from her ma.
uonal body the dishonest ones and the
traitors--the only foes OF Russia's
young liberty"

The Last of the Caribs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative Of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus an6
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he Is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a
living race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies In 1902 10
largely matter Of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
Them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today 1t is doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island Of
Dominica, on a reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.

Washington.-The Russian military
situation was acknowledged at the
Russian embassy to be intensely Sc
rious, but it was said to be not as
critical as reflected in some reports.
While the Gaician army has admit
tedly suffered severe setback, it was
pointed out. there is no indication
that the detection has spread through
out the whole army, or to the other
arteries on the 1,000mile front.
Dispatches to the embassy said the
Russian and Roumanan armies in
the Carpathians still were advancing
and had captured 19 guns, several vii
lagos and several hundred prisoners.
Similarly the troops on the Smorgon-
Krevo front. north Of the Galician
front, are reported to have captured
80 machine guns, 1000 Germans and
much war material. The forces in.
volved are largely Siberian.
The premier stated that re.estab.
lishment Of the death penalty at the
front was necessary, because the gov
ernment was faced with the alterna
tive of sacrificing the army to a body
of traitors and towards or having re-
course to the only possible means Of

The provisional government, in COM
