NEARLY ONE-HALF
OF KAISER'S U-BOATS
HAVE BEEN LOST

Between 40 and so per
cent of the German submarines op-
Grating in the North Sea, the Arctic
and Atlantic since the beginning of
the war have been sunk, said Sir
Eric Geddes, first lord of the admir-
atty, in the house of commons.
"We must lay plans for long
war;" continued Sir Eric. 81 see no
signs of its being a short one"
During the last quarter the Ger
mans lost as many submarines as
they lost in 1916" said Sir Eric.
The output of merchant shipping
in the first nine months of this
year, he said, was 1913 per cent
higher than in the corresponding

ential giants. They have a vision
that is possible to no other farming
people in the world. They have
take nhigh ground as a people, but
have never reached the limits of
their powers; for they have never
conceded that there is a limit to
their power of achievement.
The bigness of this fact should
be realized in every farm home in
our land; should be discussed in
every family circle where the farm
folks gather around the fire in the
millions of free farm homes as the
winter nights come on.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

period last year. The admiralty had
decided that four new shipbuildine
yards would be necessary. =
Sir Eric said he regretted it had
not been found possible to arrive at
basis for publication of British
tonnage losses by submarine action
without giving information to the
enemy. ,
The losses of merchantmen in
October, he said, were slightly
worse than in September. Enemy
submarines were being sunk to an
increasing extent, but the Germans
were building them faster than hith-
erto. -.
In September, Sir Eric continued
there was afloat on the high seas an
increase of 20 per cent in numbers
and 80 per cent in tonnoge of Brit
ish ships as compared with April.
He announced the governments
intention of appointing an addition
al civil lord Of the admiralty, and
said the attention of the first sea
lord would be wholly naval staff
matters.
The total net reduction of British
tonnage since the beginning of the
war was given as 100000 tons.
Replying to the criticism that the
fleet had not been sent to assist Rus
sia, he pointed out that such an op-
Grafton would occupy considerable
time and that there were extensive
mine fields. Responsible naval opin-
ion was unanimous that the step
was not one which should be taken.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS

the administration bill to enable for eign registered vessels to enter the coastwise trade, drawn to impose limitations as to permits issued by the shipping board, was unanimously agreed upon by the house merchant marine committee today. Alaska is excepted from all provisions.
 The new bill, which has the in dorsement of the shipping board and is in accord with views expressed by President Wilson to Chairman Alexander, of the committee. meets the opposition of Alaska coastwise interests to any legislation that would involve the taking over of the Alas kan trade by British craft.
 It also provides. in lieu of the blanket authority. previously propos. ed, that the shipping board may grant licenses to foreign vessels for coastwise trade under specific limi- tations as to the scope and period of such trade. Preference must be given to vessels of foreign registry owned, leased or chartered by citi- zens or corporations of the United States.

 Clark also told the committee that an official of the Grand Trunk Pa cific had informed him that his com pany was prepared to enter the trade between Seattle and Alaska on a freight rate one-third lower than the rate between Prince Rupert, B. G.. and Alaskan points in event the pending bill passed
 The committee will hold further hearings before acting on the bill.

flowers in his path, while airmen
dropped flowers and laurel wreaths.
At headquarters the field marshal

ton Of the glorious development of

Thinks It Is Question Of Whether

% 80 Martins,
CIV Asgociated Press.)

Chicago. Oct. s.-Whether an or
ganization can strike during war
time and whether members of an
organization can stay on a strike
when that strike was initiated before
the war started, are the two para
mount issues between the govern
mert and the 1856 indicted l. W. w.
according to Otto Christensen, at
torney for the organization. He is
in Chicago today preparing for the
legal battle which will open soon.
Sweeping denial of the charges
named in the indictment was made
by Christensen, who asserted the
chief point at issue is whether the
!. w. w. are within the law in pro-
mitigating strikes during war time.
THE government charges cannot
possibly stand up, he declared. The
/. w. w. has at no time taken a posi-
tive position in regard to the war.
Some of the strikes we are charged
with starting to embarrass the gov
eminent we're started before the war
began.
THE charge that German money
has been backing the organization is
ridiculous".
