GERMANY SINKING VESSELS
 100000 TONS A MONTH
A Serious Menace if Continued With |
 Success of Past Few Daye.

Washington, Feb. 8. Germany's ruthless submarine warfare continues with the success of the past three days, would destroy within a short time a great part, of the worlds merchant tonnage. Officials here estimated to- day on records for the three days since expiration of the time allowed in the German proclamation for ships at sea on February 1 to get into port, that vessels were being sunk at the rate of nearly a million tons a month. the amount German naval authorities set as necessary to starve the British Isles. At that rate it would take just four years to destroy the tonnage of the entire worlds, ,O00, 900 tons-if all the worlds ships ventured into the war zone.
 Lloyds reports pits the tonnage sunk February 5, and at about S5.0OO
 The would turned out in 1916 less than two million tonnage of merchant vessels During the day the Germans sank trifle more than that, making the net loss in worlds shipping at about one and one half per cent.

Vessels have been standardized and 1t Is almost i'm possible to have made anywhere a ship of special construction. The Brit ish government is having built great steel cargo ships. all alike. and of the simplest construction. The yards are busy night and day on their construc- ways keels will be laid for more.
 There are no figures to show the amount of tonnage constantly on the seas carrying goods to and from the British Isles. United States customs reports show that about a million and a half tons clear from American ports every month, but as some vessels clear twice the figures are misleading. About the same amount of tonnage ar rives monthly from European ports.
 Of the AS. GOO GOO tons of merchant ships in the world, Great Britain owns about 2O.OO0,000 tons. The United States is second with little more than 5000 900 tons, of which 100000 tons is in lake and river trade. In Amer ican nor-ts there are 95 German mer- chant vessels of S00.0O0 tonnage, which put in for haven at the out break of war.
