FOR ACTION BY POPE
Vatican May Make Protest on
Germanys Ruthless u.
Boat Warfare.
Special Cable Despatch 10 THH srS

ROME, March Sit Is reported that
Mgr. Bonzano, the Apostolic Delegate at
Washington, has Informed the Pope that
American Catholics expected tho Pope
to condemn publicly the Austro-German
submarine blockade which provoked the
rupture OF diplomatic relations.
This is denied at the Vatican. but It
Is admitted that the report originated
in Mgr. Bonzano's reply to the Popes
request that American Catholics spare
no efforts to avert war. Mgr. Bonzano
replied to the Pope that II war could not
be averted American Catholics would
unanimously support the Government.
and would refrain meanwhile from using
their influence toward peace.
The correspondent OF THE SUN Is in
formed that protest by the Pope
against ruthless submarine warfare has
been delayed but that the idea has not
been abandoned.

Advices received hero from Rio ia
metro and London indicate that the Royal
Mail Steam Packet liner Drina. of 1883
tons. has been sunk somewhere between
Lisbon and Liverpool and tho passen-
gers rescued and landed. The Drina

mitted yesterday they had received a
message from London signed by the
ships captain: "Drina passengers landed
safely" No British Admiralty or Lloyd's
announcement of the sinking has been
received.
The British consulate gave out yes
terday. however. an Admiralty report on
British commerce for February. While
showing that arrivals and departures
continue large IN proportion to sinkinss.
the report indicates that hereafter no
official announcement will be made Of the
sinking Of shps by name unless 1t Is un-
avoidable. The report does not give
total tonnage losses.
The total number of ships sunk given
in this report Is 123. including fishing
vessels. The known total In this coun-
try for February was 113. few Of them
fishing vessels. One important feature
of the report Is that sixty-seven British
merchant ships were attacked by sub
marines but escaped. The Admiralty
announces that the general situation Ia
quite satisfactory" after giving out these
figures and additional data. These data
show that of the ninety-four merchant
ships sunk sixty-one were of 1900 tons
or over. 1t shows also that the number
Of merchant vessels of all nationalities

local or fishing craft which arrived at

The foregoing figures do not include
losses of ships of Britain's allies or
those of neutral nations. which. the Ad-
miralty stated, are not available. The
number Of German submarines captured
or sunk, the Admiralty says. will not be
made public.
Indicative of the activity Of Great
Britain In replacing the losses to her
merchant marine. 1t was officially stated
that at present more than 100000 tons
of shipping Is on the stocks.
Another official German statement has

porting that two submarines that recently

Our Loans TO Our Allies.

The loans made by the United
5 tates to the Governments al
war with Germany are arranged
bv Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and submitted to the
President aud made with his ap-
provaI.
The Secretary states that his
Judgment IN making these loans
Is determined largely by the
monthly requirements of the ap
pllcants. The different powers,
through their duly authorized
representatives, make their rep
resentation as to their necessities
for carrying on the war, and aft.
er discussion the various amounts
are arrived at.
These loans, says the Secre
tary, are essential for our own
protection, not only for our pro
tectlon In a military way but for
our economic protection and vel
fare. The production Of the
United States has been speeded
up AID greatly stimulated. We
are producing more than our own
needs, ard our own ecouomic
production and welfare demand
that we sell much of our products
to our allies Toaccomplish this
we must extend these credits to
enable them to buy our products.
Their merclal salvation is
an essential part of their effec-
tiveness in the war, and their
CONNER cial well being demands
that their export trade be main
tanned in a considerable measure.
They must keep their civil popu-
atlon engaged to the extent nee.
essary to sustain their industrial
and economic existence. 1t is
sound economic policy on cur
part to assist them in maintain
i g their industrial life and eco.
nomic welfare
Very little of the money loaned
to onr allies, the Secretary states,
goes cut OF the United States.
Most : 1t Is spent right here for
war u Aterials and foodstuffs.
The money we are advancing IS
not CONTRIBUTION; 1t Is a loan, on
which they will pay interest and
which ultimately will be repaid
ia full. Our allies are looked up
on by US as solvent, peoples, with.
out ready money but with per-
fectly sood credit.
Their expenditures of this
money In this country are super.
vised by US. Their purchases
are made with the advice and as.
slstance of our War Industries
Board This system not only
protects the borrowing ally but
prevents competitive bidding
against the other allies and the
United States itself, and obtains
for the borrower the same prices,
the same terms, and the same
treatment our own Government
demands in making its own pur-
chases
When one remem bers that the
loans made to our allies enable
them to do the fighting that 9TH
erwlse the American Army would
