SINKING U-BOATS
FAST As Launched
Ceddes Says Great Success
Has Been Attained BY
Allies.

London. Dispatch.-"Our allies are
making every effort to increase their
production of ships" Sir Eric Geddes,
First Lord of the Admiralty. said
to-day in the House of Commons,
but despite glowing reports in the
American press and great as the effort
of that country doubtless is, there is
no doubt considerable time must
elapse before the desired output is
obtained
The rate of exaggeration in the
German reports of tonnage alleged
TO have been sunk was increasing
steadily. Sir Eric said. The eXag-
geration In the second quarter of the
period of unrestricted submarine war
fare was twice that of the first
quarter. The rates in the third and
fourth quarters were three and four
times that of the first quarter, and
in January four and one-half times
the first quarter.
Submarines were being destroyed
in increasing numbers, he continued.
and as the methods employed against
them were developed the numbers
would be enlarged still further. There
was a growing reluctance on the part
of German crews to put to sea. The
chances that a submarine would re-
turn from a voyage in the waters
around England were one in four or
one in five.

I'VE believe that we and the Ameri-
cans have been sinking submarines

Isles, which had been the enemy $

the greatest successes against the
U-boats had been obtained So far.
lately with the help of American
naval forces, said Sir Eric. On the
other hand, conditions in the Mediter-
ranean had been more difficult.
Losses there account for some 80 per
cent of merchant ships sunk The
resources for combating the sub
marines in those waters were less
adequate and the successes obtained
less satisfactory. But as the re-
sourses improved it would be pos
sible to turn attention to the Med
iterranean.
Sir Eric said the naval forces Of
the Allies in European waters would
be augmented shortly by a force of
Brazilian warships.

HUNS AIR RAID.

London.-The murderous work of
a German airplane raider. by whose

L. :. SOON MAY HOLD
100 MILES OF FRONT

Washington, March with men,
material and supplies going forward
to Gen. Pershing in full accordance
with the prearranged schedule, the
War Department has taken up the
organization of the first field army,
the largest tactical unit used in mod
ern warfare. Until Gen. Pershing
has under his command a complete
field army. no further organization
of fighting units will he started.
1t was originally the intention of
the department to form the typical
field army by combining three army
corps, but it is understood that this
plan has been abandoned for one
which calls for five or six.
The purpose of this is to reduce the
number of men required for organic
ing the army troops--the special
units attached specifically to the field
army for use in controlling the lines
of communication from the ports of
debarkation to the army corps rail
heads.
An army corps, under ordinary con-
ditions of terrain, can be expected to
hold a sixteen-mile front of trenches,
or about nine miles of geographical
front. The first American field army,
therefore, may be able to take over
100 miles of French line.
If the present schedule is main
tanned, however. it is safe to say that
by January, 1919, or earlier, Ameri-
can troops will be holding a longer
stretch of front than was held by the
British after more than two years of
war.
Selection of the officer to be COM
mander OF the first field army under
Gen. Pershing has not yet been dis
Cussed, it was said to-day. There has
been some speculation in this regard,
however. the names of Maj. Gems.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
YOUR LIBERTY BOND

Washington, March Some peo-
pie are worrying because market quo
tations for Liberty bonds are ranging
wo or three points below par. Liberty
31a s are now selling around 9Sk
while the per cent bonds are quoted
at about 81. For those unfamiliar
with the stock quotations it should
be said that this means that a 500
Liberty bond of the first issue paying
81 per cent interest will bring $9S.-
so cash in the bond market.
Some people, susceptible to the
whisperings of the German rumor
mOngers, are wondering whether this
decline does not mean that they are
going a lot lower. This parlor panic
has been increased by stories about
people who have had to raise money
quickly and were unable to get more
than $3.50 ON short notice.
There is no basis for such appre-
hensiOn. The only wonder is that
the bonds have remained SO close to
par against the strong combination
of circumstances that have tended to
depress them.
Consider the fact that during 1917
the prices of all bonds declined to
such an extent that gilt-edged bonds.
which had a market value of 500
last January, can now be purchased
for SIS. The basic cause is the in
crease i'm price which has greatly re-
duced the purchasing power of the
capital value, as well as the interest
yield of the bonds. The Liberty
bonds were issued in a falling bond
market and could not escape its in
fluence. Moreover, when high-grade
bonds, paying or 8 per cent, are be-
low par, there is great temptation
for big investors to sell their bonds
and pick up attractive bargains in
corporate bonds.
On top of this great market force
there have been a number of minor
factors. There has been heavy pro-
German selling for the purpose of de-
stroying confidence in their nations
credit.
We must also take into account the
psychological effect of the Russian
situation.
Another artificial influence which
has helped to depress the market
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-03-15

value OF the Liberty bonds has been
the practice Of merchants and others
accepting these bonds in payment for
goods at par or better. Merchants
must immediately convert these
bonds into cash to finance their own
purchases. This means that banks
that bought bonds up to the limit of
their resources must take more, and
this they will do only when the price
will yield them a profit. The banks
must market the bonds as soon as
possible, and this series of forced
sales floods the market The mer-
chants who accept the bonds at par
or better OF course protect themselves
by marking up their prices so that
profits will be as great as ever. The
