Startling Revelation Made
by British Exchequer
Before Commons.

Washington, Feb. 13.--Ship tonnage
sunk by submarines in 1917 was near
ly three times az great as the total
Of production in the United States

This was disclosed today by the an-
nouncement of Andrew Bonar Law.
chancellor OF thes excireauer, in he
British house Of commons that Great

While complete figures on cOnstruc-
ton in Japan. Italy, France and other
nations in 1917 aresnot yet available
officials here do not believe their ag-
gregate equalled the total OF the Unit
ed States. II that Is the case subma-
rine sinkings more than doubled all
new tonnage produced.
Both American and British officials
expect a very different story in 1918
however The United States and Great
Britain are speeding up their ship
ping programs and naval officials iH
both countries have confidently pre-
dicted that the submarine will be
curbed this summer
Mr. Bonar Law said that in 1917 the
