Decreased in 1918

Paris, Aug. 15.-(Havas Agency.)
The allied and neutral shipping
sunk by enemy submarines during
July amounted to 10000 tons COM
pared $4,000 tons year ago. This
decrease in losses is doubly signifi-
cant~when the increase in merchant

from the National Council of De-
Tense showing that the govern

from importers and does not in
tend to touch privately owned jew

| letter follows:
For your information we wish to
state that there is a concerted eff
fort on the part of a few women,
acting in their own names, and in
behalf of society to obtain pub
licity for a story to the effect that
the government may commander
platinum jewelry or ask the women
OF the country to give up platinum
jewelry for patriotic purposes. The
stories are coming to the newspa-
pers from Washington, Boston and
other centers from what appear to
be authentic sources for such in
formation.
These stories are not true, and
are not founded on facts. because
the government officials have not
made any such request, nor do the
circumstances at present make it
apparent that they will comman-
deer platinum jewelry or ask the
women of the country to surrender
articles of jewelry containing plat
mum.
The statement of the Council of
National Defense was issued to pre-
vent any such misinterpretation of
the order communicating raw or
crude platinum metal IN the hands
of reftners. In proof of this, the
official statement follows:
HIn issuing ordnance requisi-
ton No. $40, communicating crude
or raw platinum now in the hands
of importers or refners of this
precious metal, it is to be under
stood that this communicating or
der does not apply or interfere with
the purchase by the consumer of
any manufactured article contain

"To publish such articles is I'm
just to the large number of patrY-

anxious and willing to assist in any
way they can, but who are being
misled into sending their platinum

not want and has no machinery to
accept it.

In his address at the Spencer Square theatre
Friday night under the auspices of the Municipal
league, G. A. Windle of Chicago roundly scored
the campaign methods he claimed were used by
the ant-saloon forces in the local option fight in
Rock Island.
''You know, l know and everyone else
knows that the campaign of SANDER, in which
Rock Islands good name and reputation was be-
snirched and given publicity that was unfavor-
able from coast to coast, started last fall
through the anti-saloon forces here, with but one
end in view-s-to put Rock Island in the dry col
uran,'' said Mr. Windle.
He continued: "These tactics are not new.
They have been used by the drys in all of their
campaigns in every part of the country. There
is no perfect municipality in this country. Every
intelligent voter in Rock Island can be justified
in resentng this SANDER upon her good name and
his home.

has experienced more trouble with the la,vless
bootlegger than the Legitimate liquor dealer. In

were so bad that the army officers were forced to
forbid their soldiers to go to this city when

No. only the wet communities are given the wild
