TONS Of
SHIPPING SUNK
IN TWO MONTHS
German Official Declares Sub
marines Are Destroying VeS-
sells Much Faster Than They
Are Built.

Amsterdam, April 20 (via London
4:30 p. m.)--In the first two months
of unrestricted submarine warfare
more than 100000 tons of shipping
was sunk by the Germans, Dr. Karl
Helfferich, German secretary of the
interior, told the reichstag main COM
mittee yesterday. Asserting that the
submarine campaign was proving a
great success, he continued:
The first months results excelled
the best previous results by 25 per
cent. The second months by so per
cent. Exact figures cannot be given
but In the first two months the freight
tonnage sunk exceeded 100000, OF
which more than 100000 was Brit
ish.
Perception of economic conditions
in England is difficult as the British
government since the beginning OF
unrestricted submarine warfare has
decided on far-reaching statistical
concealment. England could not
longer afford the. publicity of the
war.
From our figures one may esti-
mate the total tonnage still available
for British trade at 100000 to TO-
100000. 1t is clear the British mer-
chant fleet cannot long bear sinkings
at the present rate. Adequate substi-
tutions by new construction are i'm
possible"

me by the city of Washington and
the expressions of sympathy which
reached me from states and cities
throughout the United States have
moved me deeply since they are an
homage paid to the whole French
army which i represent here.
The heroisan and resolution of ths
soldiers of France indeed deserve all
The affection The United Statea has
shown them. Ater having in a SUI
preme effort defeated and thrown
back barbarous enemy, the French
army has untiringly labored to in
crease and perfect its efficiency.
And now in the third year of the
war it Is attacking the enemy with
greater Tgor and material force
than ever before.
Praises British Army.
Side by side with IL and ami
mated by no less heroic spirit stands
the British army whose formation
and development will ever remain
the admiration of the world. The
Germans have realized its wonderful
growth. Every encounter has made
them feel the increasing menace of
Its strength. The contempt they pre-
tended to feel for It in the early
days of the war has gradually be-
come n dread more openly avowed
each day.
Led by its illustrious president,
the United States has entered into
this war. By the side of France in
the defense of the ideals of mankind
the place of America Is marked.
"France. which has long recog-
nized the valor of the American SOL 2
der, cherishes the confident hope
that the flag of the United States
will soon be unfurled on our fight
ing line. This is what Germany
breads.
Waits for Proud Day.
France and America will see with
pride and joy the day when their
sons are once more fighting shoul-
der to shoulder in the defense of
liberty The victories which they
will certainly win will hasten the
end of the war and will tighten the
links of affection and esteem which
have ever united France and the
United States"
When the cheering died away. the
marshal. his countenance wreathed
in smiles, leaned little forward ex-
pectantly rubbing a heavy fist into
the palm OF his other hand, as the
questions began. The replies were
most frank. Only once it was ex-
planned that the marshal did not
think he should discuss a detail
asked about for the reason that the
question still was under considera-
tton by Frances war mission and
representatives of the American gov
ernment.
Later in the day the correspond
ents were informed that it was the
desire of the French mission tina,
their conversations with Marshal
Joffre be not published until sub

that the approved text of the ques-

Washington, April 29.--Marshal
Joffre told the people of America
today, through Washington newspa-
per correspondents who called upon
him, that France cherished the con-
fident hope that the flag of the
United States soon will be flying on
her battle lines.

the Marne, will haston the end of
the war and tighten the links of

Should Come in Small Units.
The marshal in replying to ques-
tions, said he deemed It advisable to
send one American unit TO France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of big army, because of
transportation problems. He said,
too, that he did not think Americans
now with the French army should be
Withdrawn to serve under the Ameri-
lean flag, except, possibly a few spe-
cialists who might be useful in devel-
oping the training of the new Ameri-
can force, He paid hearty tribute to
the valor of the Americans now fight
ing France.
American officers, he believed, were
fully competent to train American
men, and he gave it as his opinion
that an American army would devel-
op rapidly.
1t was just before the marshal and
other members of 1.-THE French war
mission started for visit to the
tomb of George Washington at Mount
Vernon that the correspondents,
among them several women, were
received.

The famous soldier, wearing his
uniform--a blue jacket, brilliant red

Cheered by Visitors.
As the last word was read and
the correspondents realized the inn
portance of the marshals remarks
there was a burst OF applause, then
so loud that they
reached the ears of a crowd Of men
and women waiting outside to catch
a glimpse of the French hero as he
started for Mount Vernon. An
American sentry pacing up and down
outside the room lowered his gun
and discreetly peered in through the
window just as the gray haired SOL
dier of France, enthusiastically show
ing his appreciation, was Cheered
again even louder than before.
A translation of Marshal Joffre's
formal statement issued through the
state department, was expurgated
and did not contain vital passages
relating to the marshars previously
known desire for the presence of an
American force in France. The

Baby Paul Hodzima, the two and one half year old child to whom Dr. Harry J. Haiselden. of Bolinger baby fame, is administering a drug that will cause a painless death, appears to be in doubt today The mother had con sented to an easy death rather than have the boy undergo an operation which at the best. pr. Haiselden said, if it saved its life. would still leave him a hopeless idiot, as he is now, to suffer for many years.
 Mrs Hodzima has received so many letters telling her she will be guilty of child murder if she follows my in struotions," said Dr. Haiselden, that, she salters in her purpose.
 Chicago doctors have indorsed Dr. Haiselden's view that the baby should die.
 Dr. Haiselden said today he had re- ceived hundreds of letters from per sons suffering from incurable and painful maladies asking that he put them out their misery.

 The German destroyers came up and helped to spread death and des- truction on the defenseless ships, shells falling thick and fast. The Ger mans were not content to sink the ships. bur shelled the lifeboats, and every living thing coming their way was mercilessly slaughtered.
