U-BOAT LOSS
EXCEEDS SHIP
OUTPUT IN YEAR
Chairman Hurley Provides
Data Showing Destruc-
ton in Ten Months.

The Germans destroyed more British
ships in the first ten months of un-
restricted U-boat warfare than Great
Britain or any other nation has ever
built in a full year.
This revelation was made when Sem
ator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, of Ne
braska. made public a letter from
Chairman Edward y. Hurley OF the U.
s. Shipping Board. The Germans have
sunk in ten months something over
800 British vessels of more than a.OOO.-
900 tons deadweight.
Chairman Hurley said the greatest
shipbuilding feat ever accomplished
was that of England in 1913, when SIS
vessels Of 2,S9S.229 tons were COM
pleted. Japan in 1916, Mr.. Hurley said,
built fOrty-three ships OF 1898 tons.
This was the biggest tonnage finished
by any nation except Great Britain.
Americas Aim Higher.
The American program, unless held
up, will produce 6.OO0,9O0 tons by the
end of 1918. About 100000 tons will
be completed in 1918. thus SURPRISING
Great Britains best effort by about
a 1.OOO.O0O tons.
The United States now has avail
able for transatlantic service 5S2
ships of total of 3,721. 500 tons, incIud-
ing oil-tankers and former German
and Austrian vessels. German and
Austrian ships operated by the Ship
ping Board number 1C5, of 6SS, go tons.
American citizens hold eleven more OF
these ships, totalling 63,915 tons. max
ing the aggregate American holding
OF enemy vessels, 152,S1J tons.
At New ShIpyards.
In reply to questions regarding the
activities of new shipyards, Mr.. Hur-
ley said all of them that have con-
tracts now have the ground cleared
and will have their buildings and
ways completed early in 1918. The
new yard at Hog Island, Pa. must
deliver fifty ships before November
]. 1918. he said. and the Port Newark
yard must finish seven in June. The
new Bristol Point plant must have
four ships ready for service in May.
Have any British. French or Nor
wegian. italian or Holland authorities
yet asserted that they are now build
ing new ships as fast as the subma-
rines are destroying them?" Mr.. Hur-
ley was asked.
The reply was an emphatic NO" 1t
Will be up to the United States, he in
dicated. to produce new ships faster
than the Germans sink them, provid-
ing losses are not pulled down by the
allied navies.

The rape of Belgium is being re-
peated in Northern Italy.
Ohicial dispatches from Rome tell
OF systematic campaign of murder,
TaPine and destruction being waged
against the occupied sections Of Italy
ana against the population.
"hlle these atrocities, numbers of
which are cited, are going on, Ger
many is conducting a propaganda
campaign among neutrals. pointing
with SNUG pride to the alleged fact
that the invaded Italian towns and
villages are being treated generously.
Two sentences in yesterdays dis
patches speak volumes in description
OF what the Austro-German armies
really are doing in the invaded prov
inces
Our soldiers on the Piave often
hear during the night the desperate
screams of women on the opposite
bank of the river" says a dispatch.
Near Zencon the enemy placed wom-
en- and children in-the first lines as a
living shield against the fire of our
soldiers, who were compelled to sac
rlnce the innocent victims
\ graphic account of the Austro-
German barbarities is contained in a
dispatch by Luigi Barzini, correspon-
dent. who writes:
Numerous proofs of Austrian pill
lage are being gathered. On the
bodies of enemy soldiers have been
found articles robbed from the
Italian shops and homes. Prisoners
tell Of massacres of Italian citizens.
The invading armies have COM
mandeered everything. taken away all
the cattle, and burn household goods
Tor night bivOuacs. Bosnian soldiers
Rave committed unspeakable afro
cities"
Another correspondent writes:
The Germans are doing in the
Frluh regions what they did in Bel
Slum and France. War taxes, requisi-
lions, obligatory conscription of labor,
all Of which is peculiar to the Ger
man system, is being applied to the
populations of the invaded Italian
towns"
Minister Nitti. delegate to the Paris
Inter-Allied Conference, says:
"ltaly's duty is to continue her
struggle in unity with the other al

being at one time her duty, her ideal

Ritz-Carlton Lift
Pins Man to Ceiling
Caller on Lord Aberdeen
Held IS Minutes Before
He Is Rescued

Ernest Jones. forty-two years old, Of
Rhuddlan, North Wales, chief steward
on a steamer of the White Star Line,
on his way to call on Lord and Lady
Aberdeen at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
last night was accidentally caught By
an ascending elevator, and received a
compound fracture of the right leg
below the knee, fractured right arm
and injuries of the head. He was
taken to the Flower Hospital.
Jones was caught between the floor
Of the elevator and the ceiling of the
fourth floor and held fast for forty
five minutes, during most of which
period he was conscious. Patrolman
Greenberg, of the East Fifty-irst
Street police station, chopped away the
floor to release the imprisoned man.
Lady Aberdeen came from her suite
when informed of the accident. When
the injured man was taken to the main
floor several women in the lobby
tainted.
According to Patrolman Greenberg
Jones was on his way to the twelfth
floor, where the Aberdeen suite is To-
Gated. The elevator stopped at the
fourth floor. Jones attempted to leave
the elevator at this floor by mistake.
Suddenly the lift started in some un-
explained way.

Westinghouse Co. Would
Utilize 1t to Fill Machine
Gun Contracts
Owned by British
Officials Declare Daily Pro-
duction of 400 Guns Could
Be Reached

Daily production capacity Of between
800 and 400 machine guns of the new
Browning type will be obtained by the
war department If negotiations now
under way between representatives of
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company, the United States
government and the British govern
ment reach n successful conclusion.
Information obtained here yesterday
was to the effect that efforts are now
being made by the Westinghouse off
cials to have the United States govern
ment buy from the British government
the large plant near Chicopee Falls,
Mass, which the New England West
inghouse Company has been operating
to turn out Russian rifles under con-
tract with the British government.
Last week the Westinghouse Electric
Company was instructed by the British
government to discontinue the manu-
iacture of the Russian rifles, of which
l,OOO,OOO were completed fortnight
ago. The British took an option on
100000 additional rifles and had until
January i 10 accept another option for
100000 rifles il they were needed. Now
the contract has been completely abro-
gated and with the rifles under process
OF manufacture at the present time
completed, the plant, employing $500
men, will be shut down.
Eopfra,t L..
The rife plant, originally owned by
the New England Westinghouse Elec
trlc Company, a subsidiary of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company, was taken over last
Spring By the British government, the
Westinghouse interests, however, con-
tInuing to operate it for the manufac
ture OF Russian rifles under the origi-
nal contract with the British. which
has now been cancelled.
Guy f. Trip, chairman of the West
lnghouse company, has been in Wash
ington talking over the matter with
officials Of the War Department, in the
hope that an agreement can be reached
at an early date whereby the plant can
be taken over by the United States
government to be converted by the
Westinghouse company and operated
for the manufacture of machine Puns

Liberty was the gift the warden pre-

proof of his confidence in their honesty.
For their liberty is to end Wednesday
when they have agreed to return volun-

Christmas Day at home with their fam

Remington Plant to
Make Rifles for u. s.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.--Thc War
Department contemplates giving to the
Remington Arms Company plant at
Bridgeport, Conn, early in the new
year sufIicien. orders to continue the
plant in operation, it became known
here tonight. officials of the ordnance
department of the army admitted that
the plant was compelled to close be
cause Of lack of war orders, and it was
stated that plans are now being made
TO distribute orders TO the plant 20
keep it at work to it's fullest capacity
in the manufacture of American rifles
and perhaps machine guns.
The Remington plant has been en-
gagged in manufacturing rifles for the
Russian government, but because OF the
unsettled conditions in that country all
work on Russian orders have ceased.
This caused a temporary closing down
of the plant until the American gov
ernment can make use of its products.
