AUSTRALIA FIRST TO
USE 1NTERNED VESSELS
rBy Associated Press1

SYDNEY, Australia.-William M.
Hughes, the prime minister Of Aus
tralia, Ia an address delivered here
the other day said:
1T will probably come as a surprise
10 the public to learn that Australia
was first of all the nations to employ
informed enemy vessels and prizes in
ordinary mercantile work and to util-
tiEe the cargo space of transports. In
both these matters and in the policy
Of controlling shipping generally Great
Britain was glad to follow the lead
given her by Australia.
Australia stands as the first eoun-
try to organize the whole shipping
business systematically while the
other nations had to reduce their ex.
ports to suit the reduction in tonnage.
Australia was able last year to export
every ton Of produce for which there
was no locsl market, with the texcep-
.tion Of wheat, and even Of wheat there
was o greater quantity exported than
during any previous year At the end

This fiat will necessarily cut off some

since its supports are made as slender

Illustration Of some Of the mechanical

ends Of the polar axis are supported
on steel castings which are bolted to
the heads Of concrete piers. The polar
axis must be set parallel to the axis Of
rotation on the earth. In the. latitude
OF Victoria It makes an angle Of more

Germany Satisfied With Amount n
TONNAGE Destroyed.

Berlin. March 20. - Commenting on
the admiralty announcement that
merchantmen Of gross tonnage OF
s71,5G0 were destroyed in February,
as a result Of the war measures of the
central powers Berlin newspapers say
the sinking Of only 100000 tons per
month had been thought probable AMI
that this estimate was based on the
surmise that only part of the neutral
shipping would cease with the British
Isles.
Neutral trading with England has
been almost entirely stopped. The es-
innate on this basis would be only
$4,000 tons. The total is so per cent
higher than might have been expected.
"Trade at British ports in January"
says the Overseas News Agency, "ap-
parently amounted to 9,500,o00 tons, of
which 100000 was neutral. II only
so per cent OF neutral tonnage kept
away in February, the reduction In
tonnage amounts to 30 per cent. The
tonnage sunk in that month exceeds
British ship building in 1916. which
amounted to only $4,000 tons

These writer's are unanimous in ex-
pressing the fullest confidence in Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. The Deut-
sche Tages zeitung gHys:
This Is not the first strategic retreat
Won Hindenburg has executed in this
war. It's necessary only to remember
his great retreat before Warsaw and
the partial evacuation Of Transylvania.
'Thus far the retreats Of Won Hin
denburg always have borne fruit a
hundred fold and we may be assured
that this move is the preliminary to
greater successes"

"The German people can and must

velopments may be awaited with calm

Russian Army and Navy to Supper,
New Government.

NC" SOV0TUU10USs
Washington, March 20. Complete
cooperation Of both the Russian army
and navy with the new revolutionary
government was reported today by
Ambassador Francis to the state de-
partment. The ambassador stated he
had received his information from off,
cial sources and confirmed 1t to his
own satisfaction unofficially.
The fact that he mentions no dis
orders leads officials to believe that
good order prevails.
The question of the recognition of
the new government by the United
States Is becoming increasingly i'm
portant. Officials say the receipt by
the state department from the Russian
ambassador of Foreign Minister AIiluk-
offs statement to the world does not
constitute such recognition nor will
such action by England, France and
Russias other allies hasten the deci-
sion OF the United States. 1t is possi-

shortly, and that even IL it is not con

During this war every son of the
nation, in q courageous struggle, has
given his last and best--poor and rich
