REVIEW OF SIX WEEKS OF
 UNRESTRICTED WARFARE.
Given Associated Press by a Highly
 Competent Authority

London, March 14, S.20 D. m.-- The Associated Press has been Q aceG in possession of review of the first six weeks of the German unrestricted submarine campaign. The figures given are from the board of trade re- ports and the conclusions are those of highly competent authority.
 "The German submarine campo ign. reported to have assumed enhal ced vigor on. Feb. 1, must be siagu- -arly disappointing to the Germans tkem- selves" says the review.
 At the beginning of January. 1917, Great Britain possessed approximately 3,S71 vessels Of 1,6o0 tons ard over. Many others of lesser tonnags are not taken into consideration, owing to the importance of restricting the question to overseas traffic and cargo jueging the results carefully and looking to possible future developments.
 From Feb. until March (14:) the losses of British ships of over 160o tons were approximately 7c, which number deducted from the total ica yes the British mercantile marine with 3,653 ships of over 1,600. tons after six weeks German submarine warfare
 sTt should be remembered that a very large proportion of tonnage is on the stocks building for the British mercantile marine, and fair per cent age of the total is being tucned out monthly. In the total above mentions ed no account is taken of ships com pleted or bought in neutral c0untrfes.,, ?,

PRoHI6iTIoNIsTs AND OPPONENTS IN HALL OF HOUSE In Conflict Over Constitutional Amend
 ment to Make Connecticut Dry.

Hartford, March 1.-The hall of the house of representatives was fll- cd this afternoon by singing support CTS and opponents of constitutional amendment to make Connecticut a dry state by December 31, 1922. The members of the w. c. T. U. were in battle array. and adorned the desks with banners.
 To the air of Tipperary the women sang in chorus: It's a Long Way to Prohibition. The supporters of John Barleycorn replied with the bars of How Dry I Am. Then all hands joined in the singing of America.
 Fred W. Orr. legislative represen- tativce of the brewers. sang Tipper- ary, and all swung in on the chorus. man in the rear of the hall with a bass voice like Judge Marvin's started the Brown October Ale song from Robin Hood. When this was finished the several hundred voices joined in The Star Spangled Banner.
 The arrival of the. committee on constitutional amendments stopped the melody and thes presentation of arguments for the passage of the bill opened Representative Bowers of Manchester leading the debate He said the bill gave the liquor men five ital from a destructive business and -reinvest it. The most important ques- tions of the day, he said, were Pre- paredness, prohibition and equal suf frage."
 He cited as arguments the bond is- sues of Hartford and New Haven counties for nearly g, ,000, 900 for new jails, and contrasted conditions here with the prohibition state of Kansas.

Plymouth, via London, March IA, $40 p. m.-Captain A. Nordberg of the American steamship Algonquin, which was torpedoed by a German submarine on March 12, is now at Penzance. He will arrive with his crew in Plymouth tomorrow morning. In an interview Captain Nordberg said that the Algon- Q1in was bound from New York for London with foodstuffs.
 "On Monday morning." he saids just after daylight, was on the bridge. It was the mates watch. I saw two steamers, apparently colliers, steaming west one on the starboard and the other on the port side. Two minutes later the mate called my attention to another object and at once said T think that is a submarine.'
 "AThe submarine was about three miles distant, as were also the steam CTS. Immediately saw a flash of a gun and shell fell short. At once full speed astern. indicating this by three blasts on the whistle. The oub- marine kept on firing, the fourth shot, throwing up column of water which drenched me and the man at the wheel. IT was 9 close thing"
 Fifth Shot Sunk Snip. s1The fifth shot struck the ships side and the next went aft The subma- rfne was using two guns. Twenty shots were fired at US. ordered the crew to the boats and we pulled away two ships lengths. All this time the sub- marine was firing at us, some of the shots coming very close.
 "Once we were in the boats the Germans eeased hriQg and the sub marine dived. Later we saw the per- iscope, which circled the Algonquin half a dozen times. Then. finding her abandoned the submarine came to the surface and boarded the steamer.
 First Lowered the American Flag.
 seTRe first thing done was to lower the American flag. Then concluded they were going to sink my ship. Ten minutes after, heard the crackle of an explosion and saw smoke. They had blown the ship up with bombs In fifteen minutes the Algonquin had sunk
