U-Blockade Is Said
 To Be Ineffective

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Brit ish embassy issued a statement last night announcing that Germany s widely advertised campaign of ruthless murder on the high seas, , resulted in the loss of less than one ship in every 100 plying in or out of British ports between Feb ruary 1 and IA.
 'The German wireless press mes sage,' said the statement, since the German declaration of indis- criminate submarine warfare against merchant shipping within a zone around the United Kingdom and France, have been confined to ad- vertising achievements of German submarines
 Claims of paralyzation of the merchant marine activity of the al lies and more particularly that of Britain have appeared, together with hints of vast increase in the number of the German subma- rines employed.
 During the period in question the following are the figures of ships which have arrived and sailed from ports in the United Kingdom ::
 'Date February 1 to February IA.
 Arrivals: British, 4,053; allied, 227; neutral, 497; total ATT.
 "Sailings: British, 3,92S; allied, 225; neutral, 361; total, 4.514.
 Daily average between February 1 and February 14:
 Arrivals: British, 290; allied, 16; neutral, 35; total, 341.
 'Sailings: British, 2SO; allied, 16; neutral, 26; total, 922.
 'It should be remembered, how ever, that totals of arrivals and de- partures do not include fishing vessels, coastwise and local coast wise traffic nor craft of under 100 tons. Quitting these and compar- ing totals of those sunk with the totals of the arrivals and depart ures, it is interesting to note that the widely advertised campaign of ruthless murder on the high seas on which Germany has embarked has resulted in a loss of less than one ship for every 100 which has arrived or left British ports dur ing the two weeks from February 1 to February IA"

CAPTIVE CHILD IS
 U-BOAT'S MASCOT
six-Year-0ld Spends Eight Days On Board a German
 Submarine.

Copenhagen, via London, Feb. 20. -Solveig Jacobsen, the year-old daughter of Norwegian shipmas- ter, who has arrived here with her parents on the way to Norway has the distinction of not only being the first child to make a voyage on a German submarine, but of being of the submarine commander who is declared to have sunk the Lusi- tania
 Solveig's father, Isaah Jacobsen was master of the Norwegian ship Thor II. which was sunk by the submarine. The U-boat lowed the ships boats with the crew of 2S toward land for a while, and final ly left them to shift for them selves, but the commander retained master, his wife and child on the submarine while he continued the cruise.
 The operations were of short du- ration for the next ship encounter ed proved to be laden with ammu milton for France. The submarine was so shaken by the terrific ex plosion when the steamer was tor pedode and by an encounter with British destroyed which all but sank the Uboat by ramming, one of its engines being put out of commits sion, that the commander deter mined to make for his home harbor for repairs.
 The submarine limped homeward along route west of Ireland and north of the Shetlands, and finally came into port at Helgoland in fair ly good shape, the crew having sue ceeded in repairing the engine on the voyage.
 Captain Jacobsen in describing the experience, dwelt on the hu- man side of the man he came to understand was the Lusitania's de- stroyer, as shown in the treatment of little Solveig. The child was adopted as a sort of mascot on the submarine, and was decorated with a bit of ribbon from the command CTS iron cross, which he secured for an earlier achievement.
 During the short stay at Helgo- IN first neutral visitors during the war, the commander in chief of the island called to pay his respects and presented the child with many souvenirs.
 Captain Jacobsen's description of the torpedoing of the ammunition which submarines are exposed. The submarine had halted the ship, and, ignorant of it's character, prepared to sink it by gunfire to save tor pedoes. The first shot attracted a British destroyer, which came at full speed.
 The submarine hastily submerged, sending a torpedo at the steamer before going under. An appalling explosion followed which, had the submarine been still on the surface might have had even more serious consequences.
 'We had no time to see what be- came of the steamers crew which was in the boats near the steam er," said the Norwegian. "The sub marine was tossed about so convul- sively by the force of the explo- sion that we were all thrown down. The submarines deck was ripped up, and we thought our last hour had come"

STOLEN AND SCATTERED CHILDREN

No ndemnities?" ?" asked President Butler of Colun- bia University, dinner given to the Italian diplo- matic mission. Certainly noti" he answered.
 "No annexatons?" And again he answered Ger tainly not"
 And then. the guests of honor stirred uneasy in their chairs:
 But restoration, restitution and a return home of stolen and scattered children"
 It rarely felicitous way of putting it. Europe full of stolen and scattered children the children of nations and The world is full of them With the stolen children is stolen territory Children and rtory must be reurned otherwise there can be no jus tice among nations and certainty of peace in the world. And restitution there must be- in some measure for wrongs inflicted which mmeasurable.
 Thus American ideals and aims are seen to har- monize with the proclaimed war purposes of our al lies. We fighting largely for our safety; but we are proud to help in the great work of restoring the stolen land, forcing restitution the nnumerable crimes committed in this war bringing the stolen and scattered children home to France to Belgium to Poland to Italy Serbia other wronged and beret nations.
