u S. WAR SHIPS ABROAD.
America Has $50 Fighting Vessels in
European Waters,

America has now 80 warshipS in
European waters, manned by between
Zoo and $4,000 sailors and marines.
Franklin D. Roosevelt the assistant
secretary of the navy said in an adj
dress to 1900 members at the Brook
Ign Y. NJ. C. A. He added:
II must be careful what l say for
fear of being courtmartialed,' he re-
marked "but ! do not think that It is
telling any secret that hardly day
passes that we do not ada ono ship to
that feet in European waters. When
we entered the war a year and a
month ago thre were 5000 men in the
navy. There are $4,000 men n the
navy today and by the end of the year
there will be half a million.
Admiral Nelson said hat there
were two ways Of winning war on
the sea-by seeking out and destroy
ing the enemy fleet on the high seas
and by bottling it up in port and PIE
venting it from getting out. So far
the British navy has succeeded N
bottling up the enemy fleet in port. We
do not expect that there is any danger
Of the German fleet ever getting control
underwater craft is concerned we
would be wrong to give the impress
sion that the menace is ended, for
sinkings occur every day and will con-
tinue.
I'VE can thank God that the trans
portation of troops has ben carried on
with such very small losses. We must
not be blind to the fact that 1t is ros-
sible that we may lose transport
now and then, but we are daily in
creasing, not SO much the defensive
against the submarines, as we are the
offensive. In other words, we are
building now not on the plan OF wait
ing till we see his periscope alongside,
but we are going after his and giving
him no rest day or night We believe
that the general average of losses due
to submarines will not merely remain
stationary, but will decrease as time
goes on
Mr. Roosevelt said that the believed
that one lesson which the country had
firmly learned from the war was the
principal of universal service, and that
universal service was bound to be a
national policy In the future.

REACH AGREEMENT ON DRAFT.
Hull Amendment Putting Boys of Fl at
Bottom Retained.

Washington. May An agreement
on the bill extending the selectiv',
draft law to youths 81 years Of age
since June 5, 1917, was reached By
senate and house conferees. The
amendment Of Representative Hull OF
Iowa providing that the additional reg
istrants shall be placed at the bottom
Of present eligible lists was retained.
The house conferees accepted the
senate provision for exemption from
the draft law of theological and med
icaI students.
Immediate ratification by the senate
and house OF the conferees agreement
on the measure was sought, that there
may be no further delay in its use in
connection with the new draft.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
opposed the amendment placing the
new registrants at the bottom Of the
eligible lists.
The conferees also adopted an
amendment. which General Crowder
alsco opposed, requiring registration OF
men already in the military service
who have attained their majority since
last June s. General Crowder thinks
this work would be unnecessary, costly
and would be resented by some of the
men in the service.

1902 FLYERS DIE IN CAMPS.
War Department Issues Summary o.
Deaths Since April "a, 1917.


Washington, May THE war de-
partment has issued summary OF
the 1902 aviators who have lost their
lives at American and British training
camps since April "a, 1917.
About 5000 men were in training
during that perod at nineteen fields.
The highest rates were at Ellington
Field, Houston, Tex: and Camp Talia-
ferro Fort Worth, Tex.
The British method OF training
which hurries the men thru the various
courses, is held by some to be respon-
sible for the death of some Of the Brit
iSh aviators At several Of the Texas
camps many deaths resulted from col
lisions of machines, but during recent
months a new plan has been adopted
which gives the flyers a wide air field,
and as a result few collisions have
been recorded.
The list issued shows the following
record for the several camps: Carl
strom Field, Arcadia, Fla, l; Call
Field. Wichita Falls, Tex, 8; Chan
dler Field, Houston, 1.

Hindenburg seems willing to sac

means that the British will eventually
withdraw from this ruined city. The
town is surrounded on three sides, and
the possession of Mount KENNEL gives

French, who will not again make the
mistake Of having insufficient forces
to hold back the German hordes.
The evacuation of Ypres by the
British would probably mean also the
loss Of Newport. Neither city has yet
been in German hands. After captur-
ing these cities, the Germans will
make an attempt at Calais, the loss of

the action Of the Catholic hierarchy in

bishop of Armagh and primate of Ire

Consumption as part Of pro-German

Il don't suppose you yourself need
