WASHINGTON, D.

 It was while referring to the sub- marining of the British Indian liner Nantes which was sunk unwarned off Fastnett on February Sth, and in which sinking seven Lascar sailors were lost and on board which an

and clearances are showing a greater increase than at any time during the present month. According to the Berlin official figures Great Britain's available tonnage is eleven millions, and at the present rate it will take five years to successfully carry out the sinkings which were planned.
 The belief is spreading that the U boats are themselves meeting with difficulties for ships out of the war zone describe the fast submarine destroyers almost everywhere.
 London papers challenge the cor- rectness of the recent German sink ing reports but these doubts are not considered in the American figures.

KEEPING UP IMPROVED ROADS

Keeping good roads is the most

construction work is completed. In
the United States in the past this task
usually has been neglected, the i'm

systems in different sections of the
country recently made by the Office of
public roads and rural engineering Of
the department.
While some of the eight counties in
which Intensive studies were made
were found to have no provisions for
maintenance and others were found
to pay for upkeep of the roads out Of
bond-issue funds, thus creating a debt
that would outlive the temporary inn
prOvement for many years, two cOun-
ties in widely separated states were
found in which maintenance conditions
