cation last Sunday evening". He mo-
tored here from Stone Harbor just In
time to deliver his sermon, and return

his heart so that the child recovered
and he felt himself a new and stronger
man. And with this new strength he
founded the stonemen. At first he was
condemned by a committee of seventy
ministers, but today they are glad to
have him preach In their pulpits.
He does not aim at taking people from
the church but bringing them to 1t.
The society Is intended only for men
because Rev. Stone feels that she men
are the most in need of spiritual care.

ality and great skill as q speaker and
he gained a host of friends through
his sermon of Sunday evening.

French Shipping Losses

The official returns of French shipping
losses in the first three months of Ger
manys unrestricted submarine campaign
show that in February four vessels were
sunk, in March five and in April eight.
The total, therefore, amounts TO no more
than seventeen, or something less than the
weekly average of losses in British vessels,
counting only those of 800 tons and over.
Some preposterous conclusions have been
drawn from these figures by one of our
local oracles, who undertakes TO show that
inasmuch as France possesses "a merchant
marine at least one-tenth as large IN ton
mage as Britain's" the French navy must
have been far more successful than the
British navy in dealing with the subma-
rine menace. 1t is therefore obvious he
proceeds to point out, that reorganization
Ct the British Admiralty was of urgent i'm
portance, for in proportion France has
doubtless been as badly beset by German
submarine warfare as Britain"
II is hardly necessary TO look beyond the
figures themselves to see the absurdty Of
the comparison. 1t is enough, indeed, to
consider only the number Of unsuccessful
submarine attacks and the number Of en-
cagements between the German raiders
and the French armed forces.
In February one French vessel escaped
ont of five attacked; in March two out Of
seven; in April six out Of fourteen. In all,
nine vessels escaped in three months. Now,
the earliest weekly returns of the British
Admiralty show that in the first four
weeks alone no fewer than sixty-two Brit
ism merchant vessels were unsuccessfuly
