Submarines Inflict Comparatively
Little Loss on Tonnage, Is Showing
Made by British Official Statement

two weeks The vessels engaged In
the coastal trade are continually ex-
posed to German submarines and arc
naturally included in a German com
mander's report.
The most serious aspect of the
German submarine warfare is that
reflected by consideration of post =
hellum conditions with regard to
shortage of world tonnage Besides
affecting the whole world, It is likely
to affect most seriously the smaller
nations who have TO mercantile ma
rine OF their own to rely upon and
are dependent upon that of other ma
tions for their sea traffic.
Neutrals Must Have Supplies
However much the Germans may
desire for neutrals TO lay up their ves-
sels and close neutral harbors, such
a state of things cannot exist long be-
cause the neutrals themselves must
obtain certain neccssaries in order to
avoid the intense economic situation
which at present obtains in Germany.
This fact Is necessarily better known
TO the neutrals themselves than to
those not Immediately concerned.
"As regards the general situation
of the submarine warfare, it may thus
De summed up: III is having more
serious effect upon European neutrals
than upon belligerent mercantile ma
rine. The continual losses of ships
will seriously affect post-bellum trade.
The losses of British mercantile ves-
sells in the first six weeks represent a
percentage of 2.3, while the average
daily movement of vessels in United
Kingdom ports is 710. This figure
oxcepts fishing and local craft
IF the same rate of destruction
were to continue at this average it
would take a year to reduce the Brit
ish mercantile marine by one-half,
without taking into consideration ad-
ditional tonnage procured from build

Ell PASO QUARANTINE
EXTENDED TO MARCH 21

Ell Paso. March 1.-THE quaran
tine placed upon the army camps at
Fort Bliss and other neighborlng
points against FL Paso, has been ex-
tended until March 21 by order OF
General Bell. in order to protect the
guard troops leaving for home. AL
though in effect only three weeks, the
quarantine has shown great decrease
among the soldiers, particularly pneu-
monia and mumps, and army officers
say this fact proves that crowded
moving picture houses and other pub
lie places drawing people together
have been mainly responsible for the
spread of disease. The troops entrain
in their camps without coming into

Railroad Statement.

I'VE are sincerely desirous that the
wages and working conditions of our
employees should be on the highest
plane consistent with the efficient op-
GRAFTON of the railroads When the
national wage demands of the four
train brotherhoods were made last
year We felt mat they were beyond
reason, entatling, as they did, an an
nual increase of 100000, 900. or
about SO per cent in the wages OF the
100000 most highly paid workers in
the country
But we were ready and anxious to
submit this wage controversy for set
tlement to some public impartial tri-
bunal. In the hope that our en-
ployes would join with us in seeking
the judgment of such a board of in
quiry we earnestly urged that the
whole case be referred to:
Means of Settlement Proposed.
u, The Interstate Commerce com
mission the government body regu-
lating the transportation industry in
the public interest, or
"2 A board of arbitration under
the newslands arbitration act of 1913, a
law enacted at the Joint request Of the
employees and the carriers: or
n
ronted by the president.
"Our offers for n peaceful sett o.
mont wero all rejected by the broth
erhoods. If we had refused to meet
with our employees to discuss their
demands or If we had refused to sub
NIT the issue to arbitration, this great
body of workmen might have been
justified in leaving the service But
under the circumstances the threat Of
a nationwide strike was indefensible.
We left every door open for fair de-
termination of the merits of the con-
troVersy and every door is still open.
''The Adamson railroad wage law,
hastily enacted last summer to avert
the threatened strike, is now before
the highest court for a determina-
ton as to its constitutionality and
meaning. The railroads entered into
an agreement with the government to
keep the payroll records of these 300.-
00A employees from January in such
manner as to assure prompt payment
to employees of whatever amounts
may be due under the contraction
placed upon the act by the court The
brotherhoods on their part publicly
stated that they would take no radi-
cal action pending the decision OF the
court
Congress has made no provision,
so earnestly urged by the president.

of railway traffic by strike, and the
country is apparently in the same po-
sition now that it was in the crisis Of

Appeals to Patriotism.
'"The serious international situation
causes every good citizen to put every
thought Of personal right or desire
second to his duty to his country
Surely this is no time for internal in
dustrial warfare. The reported short
age of food and the generally con-
gested traffic of the country bring
forcefully to all our minds what
would happen in the event of a stop
page of the railroads of the country.
with this situation before us, we
feel confident that the patriotism and
loyalty of our men will not counte-
nance any rash movement which may
seriously embarrass the government
and give the impression outside our
borders that this country is torn by
industrial strife and therefore an
easy prey to any foreign foe"

PLACING Of SIX
SCOUT CRUISER
CONTRACTS SURE
Bids Received From Four
Companies by Navy Depart
ment Are Within Specified
Sum.

Washington, March l4.--Bids on
six thirty-five knot scout cruisers, re-
ceived at the navy department today
probably insure immediate placing OF
contracts for all the ships. Four com
panies submitted figures. With the
exception Of the bid of the Union
Iron Works company of San Fran
cisco, all were direct and within the
$6,0O0,000 limit set by congress.
The Cramps Philadelphia, lowest
bidder, offered to construct two ships
at S5,950,000 each, one in thirty
months and the other in thirty-two.
Notifications in design proposed by
the company would reduce the price
to $3.50 900 each.
The Seattle Construction and Dry
dock company which already has a
contract for one similar ship at less
than $5,000000, offered to build an
other in thirty months at s5,975,Oo0
Figures were submitted on the basis
of an eight-hour day and the govern
ment would assume the cost for any
speeding up expenses.
The Fore River Shipbulding com
pany proposed to build two ships in
thirty and thirty-one months time at
$5,996,000 each.
Would Lose on Bids.
The proposal of the Union Iron
Works stated that because Of high
freight rates and cost of labor on the
Pacific coast, the ships could not be
built there within the s6,000,000 limit.
AS an act of patriotism. however, the
company proposed to undertake con-
struction of two at a flat price of
$6,000.000 each in thirty and thirty
one months.
The Cramps bid was made on the
understanding that the company
would not also be required to construct
a battle cruiser as its plants are not
of sufficient capacity to build both
scouts and battle cruisers at the same
time,

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,ssl

London, March 1.-THE Associated
Press has been placed in possession
of review of the first six weeks of
the German unrestricted submarine
campaign. The figures given are from
the board of trade reports and the
conclusions are those of highly COM
petent authority.
The German submarine campaign,
reported to have assumed enhanced
vigor on February /, must be singu-
larly disappointing to the Germans
themselves says the review. AT tn
beginning of January, 1917 Great
Britain possessed approximately 3,
731 vessels of 1900 tons and over
Many others of lesser tonnage are not
taken into consideration, owing to
the importance of restricting the ques-
ton Of overseas traffic and cargo,
judging the results carefully and look
ing to possible future developments.
From February / until March 13,
the losses Of British ships of over
$500 tons were approximately sew
enty-eight, which number deducted
from the total leaves the British mer-
camille marine with 1858 ships OF
over 1000 tons after six weeks of
German submarine warfare.
ut should be remembered that a
very large proportion of tonnage is
on the stocks building for the British
mercantile marine, and fair percent
age of the total is being turned out
monthly. In the total above men
toned no account is taken Of ships
completed or bought in neutral coun-
tries"

To arrest rheumatism it is quite as
