Chicago. Mar. Figures show.
ing an acute shortage OF shipping
were given out tonight by Edward
Harding. chairman OF the executive
board OF the National Patriotic socie-
ties.
According TO these figures. the
present shortage Is 7,435,Ss4 tons
gross-aimost 1900 vessels of 5000
gross ton each. II is declared that
the tota. tonnage usable by the Unit
ed States and Its allies today is
4,435.ss4 gross tons less than 1t was
in the fall OF 1914.
These figures take account OF ton
mage built and subtract the amount
lost through submarine activities. 1t
was estimated that to this shortage
must be added 1900. 900 tons as the
minimum necessary for the United
States to transport and maintain
100000 soldiers in the war zone.
Estimates were that 1000, 900
tons will be the maximum Of build
ing to be expected from Great Brit
ain in 1918 and revised productions
are that the United States may not
exceed 100000 tons this year. This
gives probable additional tonnage
Of 100000.
