Tons-Lxpect Better Showing This
Year.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Ship tonnage
sunk by submarines in 1917 was near
ly three i les as great as the total OF
production ii the mi ef States and
Great Brit ain during that year
This was dis>ie s. by tAa announce.
ment OF Andrew Bonlr Law, chancel
lor of the eXchequer, in the British
house OF commons that Great Britain
produced only 1,1634T4 tons of ship
ping last year. The output Of the
United States was 901 ,223 tons. max,
ing a total combined tonnage of g.
064 ,697, while sinkin2S by submarines
last year generally are reckoned at
100000 tons.
While compete figures on construc-
tion in japan. Italy, France and other
nations in 1877 are not vet avafla BILE.
officials in VAS inc'on do not believe
their aggregate efra1ed TIE total OF
the United States. IF that is the case,
the submarine sinkings more than
doubled all new tonnage produced.
Both American and British officials
expect very different story In 1918,
however. The United States and
Great Britain are speeding I'D their
building program and naval officials in
both countries have confidently pre-
dicted that the submarine will be
curbed this summer
Secretary Daniels believes that ef-
fectual results will be obtained in the
early summer.
Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe. for
mer chief OF the British naval staff,
recently predicted that by next Aug
ust it could ne said that the subma-
rine menace is killed" However. he
predicted dark months before that
time.
The output Of ship tonnage in the
United States in 1918 has been vari
ously estimated at from 100000 tons
to 100000 tons, with shipping board
officials confident that at least $780,
600 tons will ge completed. No esti,
mate OF Great Britain's output has
been reeei1 ut that country is ex-
pected> y increase its 1917

hamperfdSy lack Of steel, but this
handica|p is expected soon to be over
come. And hat country also is ex-
pected TO increase Its output this year
Other countries are building few
ships.
The chancellor explained that Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges estimate OF Great
BTitainfs ship construction was not
realized because the governmeyt had
arranged to have large quantity Of
tonnage built in the United States,
and when that nation came into the
war she preferred, "as we would
have" to take the tonnage herself.
The tonnage. however, Is there. the
chancellor pointed out.
The total stocks Of wheat IN Great
Britain at the end of December last
exceeded those at the end of Decem-
Der, 1915. by S,400,OO0 bushels. Mr.
Law told the commons.
British guns available in France. he
said. had increased by 20 per cent
and the supply Of airplanes had been
multiplied 212 times in 1917, as com
pared with 1916.
During 1917 the national service de-
partment had put into the army $780,
645 additional men and placed in en-
ployment at home 731, 900 men and
100000 women. Mr.. Bonar Law stat
ed. He made these announcements
in replying to criticisms OF the gov
arnment's home policy.
