TONNAGE SUNK BY GERMAN

FALLS SHORT OF WORK SET
Was Expected TO Stop All Shipping
But Sea Traffic Is Moving
AS Before.
tCopyrightb

New York-PrCdictions that Ger
many's ruthless U-boat campaign be-
gun February ] will fail are predict
ed upon the performances reported
The undertaking was eventually to
stop all sea traffic, enemy and neu-
trail, in the great new war zone, and
in the meantime 10 sink shipping az
the rate of 100000 tons a month, or
$1,000 a day.
The Germans have failed to ap-
proach the mark they set Sea traffic
Is moving almost as before. But
what seems really significant is that
the toll of merchantmen, after having
risen rapidly from 10 vessels Of 10000
tons February l to IA vessels of A.
45T tons February 6, has been stead
lily falling since.
In the first eight days of February
there were sunk 6S ships. aggregating
13S,200 tons. In the next eight days
there were sunk AZ ships, aggregating
S7,450 tons.
The conclusion seems irresistible
that 1t has done its very worst. The
unknown factor in the case is the NOR
tally OF U-boats. That is unreported.
We have only record Of their deadli-
ness which appears to be diminishing.

ROAD BUILDING DISCUSSED
Highway Officials Of State Get New
Ideas at v. Of M.

Ann Arbor-If there is anything
wrong with the roads OF the state it
will receive a thorough airing at the
third annual course in highway engi-
neering given at the University of
Michigan this week. This course,
which comprises a series of lectures
by prominent engineers from all over
the country, is held for the benefit
of road officials of the state.
Road officials claim that the heavy
trucks coming into general use make
it impossible to keep roads in repair,
and the agitation has resulted in the
introduction of bills at Lansing limit
ing the weight of trucks which may be
used on improved roads.
The various laboratories of the
highway department OF the engineer.
ing college were opened to the visitors
who wished to study tests as an aid
in the selection and use of roadmak-
ing substances. They found there
every kind of material used in the
building of roads, for since this de-
partment has been in existence city
engineers, county, township and state
officials have submitted samples.
From these samples data have been
compiled which has resulted in saving
in the cost of road construction.

LECTURES FOR THE FARMERS
M. A. c. Has Special Course Arranged
for Week of March 5.

East Lansing pictures,
demonstrating the use of farm machin-
cry and operations involved in the
production of produce and stock will
be employed by the Michigan Agricul-
tural college during the week begin
ing March 5, to force home the les
sons OF the tabloid college course for
farmers. Lectures by well-known
men and actual demonstrations of i'm
proved methods will also be used.
One day will be devoted by the col
lege to each OF the main agricultural
subjects, so that a farmer who hasn't
time to attend for a week, but can
come for a day, will be able to pick
a topic that will be of most value to
him. Tuesday will be given over to
soils and crops; Wednesday will be
dairy day; Thursday has been select
ed for stock, and Friday will be di-
vided between horticulture and fruit
growing.

In all 10000 guardsmen made the
trip to the border there are $4,000

Oil From Fruit Stone Kernels.

Germany is preparing to take steps
toward relieving her shortage of oils
and fats by extracting an oil from the
kernels Of fruit stones, such as the
pits of the plumb and the cherry, both
of which grow freely there. The pits
ar boiled In a calcium chloride solu-
ton, which separates the kernel from
It's shell. The oil is expressed from
the kernel. The chief difficulty lies in
the fact that the kernels of such fruits,
especially the peach, contain minute
quantities Of hydrocyanic acid, some
times called oil of bitter almonds.
This is extremely poisonous, but spe-
cial methods have resulted in its pres
ence being reduced to a mere negll-
glble trace. according to the reports.
