ment that bills giving the President
these powers will be introduced in
Congress tomorrow and will be yigor-
ously pressed
Heavy Shipping Toll.
President Wilson and his advisers to-
night were moved TO adopt the most
heroic methods to speed ship construction,
following inaccurate but necessarily in,
complete reports from reliable sources
that German submarines in the last week
had sent to the bottom Of the sea at
least $4,000 tons Of shipping Of the allieu
nations.
Secretary Of Interior Lane earlier in
the day had estimated German destruction
OF shipping at approximately 10000 in
the last week. but the Secretary later
was willing to modify this estimate to
accord with the latest data compiled
through the Shipping Boards sources of
information.
To every high administration official
the grave danger of the present situation
was clearly apparent. The present pro-
ductivity of American shipyards and the
highest probable amount of output for
the next four months will not exceed
one-fifth Of the monthly loss Of shipping
from submarine attacks
With the certainty that Germany has
embarked upon submarine campaigns of
more gigantic proportions than officials
here have considered possible, the nation s
shipping plans were broadened upon a
vast scale, and every agency was set
going at top-speed, ready to put in motion

A saxon.French CHAR Llqhter.

Several years ago the then new min,
lister of France, NJ. Klotz, decided t0
impose tax of two francs, or AZ
cents American money, on each cigar
lighter used In that country. The RED.
son for this Is that the sale Of matohea
in France Is In the hands Of the gov
eminent monopoly and the portable
lighters interfered with the sale Of the
matches. On the other hand the
matches have become so bad In quality
that they are subject of complaint and
ridicule. The law has become unpopus
lar and there is an effort now being
made to have the order rescinded. Not-
withstandlng the fact that an in-
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago, 1t has caused tendency to in-
crease smoking and that is proven by
the many smokers to be seen In public
places and thoroughfares.
