ers. The number Of submarines en-
ployed In the patrol was determined
and the coast guard is now in a posi-
ton to watch their operations. The
submarines were ten miles apart.

nishes insurance up to 80 per cent Of
maximum value against the capture or
seizure Of cargo, accident wreckages, or
any loss whatsoever due to the war
sustained by shipping under the Span

with March the total shipments were 49,
lOS.232 tons, against 17,7OS,007 in the sim

Responsible for the heavy shipments in
the month was the fact that there were
twenty-seven working days, with no general
holidays, and there were fewer Interrupt
tions TO steady work because of button
strikes and general labor difficulties. There
was better supply of railroad cars, the
congestion at terminal points having been
relieved. The highest previous record was
established in october, 1915 when the total
shipments were 6.683,O07 tons. il will be
seen. therefore. that the March total this
