ARMED SHIPS LIMIT
ACTIVITY OF U-BOATS
Naval Writer, However, Thinks Il
Early for Conclusions.

LONDON, May 25.-The naval cor.
respondent OF the Times writes:
THE latest weekly return of ship
ping losses reveals a slightly higher
total than last week. but it may be
said to stand on about the same level.
While the activity of the U-boats
shows no sign OF diminishing, it does
not increase.
Unfortunately, too, the Germans
have had no smaller success in their
endeavors to make victims OF those
merchantmen attacked. Only nine es-
capped this week, whereas the number
was eighteen in the week ending May
13.
"If the worst week OF the campaign
be compared, there is OF course a
great Improvement in the number of
vessels endangered by submarine or
mine. This may be regarded as con-
firmation of the theory that the en-
emy during the last two weeks has
employed fewer submarines. There
is. however. no evidence either way.
and moreover. calculations based on
this return cannot be regarded as
wholly trustworthy as a guide, as

SEES GRIM DANGERS
IN FOOD SHORTAGE
Perkins Urges Action to Avert
Calamity.

George w. Perkins, chairman of

York, declared at the willard last
night that America is facing a posi-.
tive and horrible food shortage" that
should be given immediate considera.
tiOn by Congress.
The attitude that Congress takes. /"
said Perkins, lis that of a man who
refuses to see until 1t Is too late.
Congress points to the fact that every
one is making gardens, but the small
increase in food that this will cause
will not overbalance the loss OF $780,
100000 bushels Of wheat and the rap
idly diminishing livestock.
We have a sacred trust TO feed
England and France. The present de-
crease means that we may not only
be unable to feed them. but that we
may not have enough for ourselves.
Congress should act and give Hoover
power before the calamity is upon us.

sing, governor general Of Belgium
which. 1t Is assumed. was prepared
for submission to Emperor william,
represents the possibility of a recon.
ciliation between Germany and Bel
gium as illusory and argues the alb
solute necessity OF the annexation of
Belgium as a preparation for another
war against Great Britain.
The memorandum declares that no
treaty guarantees. however strong.
would prevent Belgium from being
swept into the enemy camp, and that,
therefore. Belgium must be conquer
ed, the Belgian dynasty abolished
and the country held with an iron
hand, so as not to repeat the mistake
made in Alsace-Lorraine and In Ger
man Poland In attempts at concilia-
ton.
Pointing out how the province of
Limburg, In southeast Holland, is q
thorn in the side OF the present Ger
man offensive, the memorandum con-
tends that the same would happen
with 4 neutralized Belgium and that
the advantages Germany gained
would accrue to her enemies in the
next war by their possession Of the
whole Of Belgium.

WOULD SEND INDIANS
TO MEXICAN BORDER
DR.. Dixon Praises the Race and
Advocates Citizenship.

A force of American Indians con-
sisting OF ten or more regiments OF
cavalry to guard the Mexican border.
while other elements OF the regular
army are participating in the Eu-
ropean war, was advocated by DR..
Joseph Kossuth Dixon, of Philadel-
phia, who lectured here last night
under the auspices of. the National
Press Club.
DR.. Dixon pointed to the fact that
bill to accomplish this purpose is
now pending before Congress. He as
serted that the Indian has those most
vital elements in the making OF a
soldier-the ability to shoot and a
knowledge Of how to live In the open.
He declared that the Indian is cap
able, adaptable, and available" The
speaker added that the Government
in the past has used the Indian Of
the border to hunt down renegades
of his own race: He urged that the
legislation providing for a North
American Indian Cavalry be passed,
and this resource OF the nation used
in the most effective way.
In this connection Dr. Dixon advo-
Gated citizenship as the privilege most
vital to the development of the In
dian and proposed that such citizen
ship be made a part of the Gov
ernment's acceptance of the Indian
into the army.
"One Of the tragedies OF this ma
tion's development" said the speaker,
'is the persistent and pitiless ex-
tfnction of a race Of men who were
once kings. Can Congress and peo-
pie of the United States satisfy their
sense OF Justice and fair play with
anything less than giving this dying
race their rights and prerogatives Of
