tilla in British Waters. June 81
After a record breaking dash at night

The total run on this errand Of mer-
CIV was several hundred miles.
Thirty-one survivors from one ship
we're picked up in boats and a little
beyond forty-nine from the other mer-
chairman were encountered.
Vice Admiral Sims, the American
fleet commander, who is now in charge
of the allied naval operations in this
section, personally talked with a num-

Feared Country Will Be Drained OF
Wheat Supply.

Washington. June 21.-Neutral coun-
tries are draining the United States
of its wheat supply.
Unless some food control is insti-
tuted by July | American wheat will
be exhausted by spring.
With this startling admission the
administration pressed its efforts to
force congress into prompt action on
the Lever food control bill.
1t is pointed out the early Southern
grain is already beginning to move
and by July | most Of it will be on
the way.
Meantime neutrals are buying on a
gigantic scale. while the allies are
waiting on congress before setting up
a food department and joint purchas-
ing agency here.

Trade Commission Predicts
Shortage Next Winter.
WOULD TAKE OVER ROADS
Recommends That Government Pool
OF Mines and Carriers Be Formed 70
Avoid Crisis and That Owners Be
Paid Compensation to Cover the
Net Profit.

Washington. June 21.-Government
pools OF coal production and distri-
button, and OF rail and water trans.
portation. were recommended to con
gress by the federal trade commits.
sion as the only means Of avoiding a
disastrous Goa shortage next winter.
The commission believes" says
the report, submitted after many
months of Investigation ordered by
congress, that the caol industry is
paralyzing the Industries of the coun-
try, and that the coal industry itself
is paTalyzed by the failure of trans
portation.
There are enough coal cars in the
country, but not enough are deliver.
ed to the mines, and these cars are
not moved with the greatest expedi-
ton, nor are they promptly discharg-
ed. In view OF these conditions the
committee recommends:
"First-That the production and dis
tribution Of coal and coke be conduct
ed through a pool in the hands OF a
government agency; that the prOduC-
ers OF various grades of fuel be paid
their full cost Of production plus a
uniform profit per ton (With due al
loNance Tor product and efficiency OF
service), and.
Second That the transportation
agencies of the United States, both
rail and water, be similarly pooled and
operated on government account and
under direction OF thc president, and
that all such means OF transportation
be operated as a unit, the owning cor
porations to be paid a Just and fair
compensation which covers normal net
profit, upkeep and betterments."
These recommendations are APPROX
ed by Commissioners Davies, Colyer
and Fort. Chairman Harris dissents
on the plan for transportation pool
except as a last resort and suggests
instead that during the war the pres
ident be authorized to order rail and
water transportation agencies to give
preference to shipment of coal, coke
and other commodities in the order OF
their Importance to the public wei
fare"

WANTS TO BUILD STOCKADE
Registration SIackers May Be Held at
Fort Smelling.

st. Paul, June 21.-The Minnesota
public safety commission has asked
permission of T. w. Gregory, United
States attorney general. to erect a
stockade ut Fort Smelling in which to
confine the registration slackers.
The message to Attorney General
Gregory advised him that the st. Louis
county Jail is now overcrowded with
draft slackers. More than 200 men
are held and more than 100 addition
al arrests are anticipated.
1t was explained by the commission
that the larger number of arrests on
the Mesabi range is due to the large
alien population of that district.

U-BOAT TOLL IS
GREATEST SOLAR
British Losses Last Week
Show Highest Total.
GERMANS DO THEIR WORST
Resort to Every Possible Method Of
Circumventing the Patrols and Sub
marines Frequently Change the Base
Of Their Operations.

London, June 21.-The weekly list
of British losses in torpedoed ships
will show the highest total of many
weeks, the number OF ships sunk be.
ing comparable to the worst week
since the ruthless U-boat campaign
began.
The returns week by week for the
past three months show that the l.
boat activities run in waves and it
is assumed that this week is the crest
of a period OF superactivity noticed
the previous week.
The past week includes II day
which is regarded as a record for the
number of vessels lost. The Situa-
ton, however, is not regarded over
pessimistically by naval men who
insist thai the admiralty methods Of
fighting the submarines are constant
ly growing in efficiency.
In support of this they point to the
constantly increasing number OF boats
which escape the submarines.
The Germans are resorting to every
possible method OF circumventlng the
patrols and the submarines frequent
ly change the scene of their opera
lions.
