TONNAGE LOSS
EXCEEDS RE-
PLACEMENTS
ADMIRALTY
ANNOUNCES

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2l.-ln
an admiralty statement announced by the
British embassy it is disclosed that from
the beginning of the war to January 1918
Allied and neutral tonnage losses were
1882 ,472 while the shipyards outside
the neutral powers were turning out 6,606,
275. The statement says that these fig
ures being made known would not Help the
enemy but would impress upon the people
the necessity of united action in making
up for the submarine losses.
With the publication of these figures
goes an appeal too British ship builders
to speed up their efforts by bringing more
workers onto the tasks and warning them
that the recent falling off of British pro-
duction must not continue.
The maximum losses were reached in
the second quarter of 1917 after the un-
restricted submarine warfare was launch
ed. 2,236,934 gross tonnage went down
in that quarter. Although warniny a.
gainst any undue optimism the statement
says:
"The results of the past year have
shown absolutely that our seamen could
get upon terms with the submarine men,
ace and gradually to gain the upper hand

French Naval Authorities
 See Decline of Submarine
 Menace as Months Go By

number of submarines destroyed had
 increased progressively since Jan.
 nary in such proportions that the ef-
 fectivencss of enemy squadrons can
 not be. maintained at the minimum
 requirements by the regulations. The
 number of enemy U-boats destroyed in January. February and March was far greater in each month than the number constructed in the same month. In February and April the number of submarines destroyed was three less than the total destroyed in the previous three months.
 These results, the minister de- clared. were due to the methodical character of the war against submar- ines: the close co-ordinating in the Allied navics: to the intrepidity and spirit aninating the officers and crews. of naval and aerial squadrons and to the intcnsification of the use of old methods and the employment of new ones.
 The situation is most favorable, the minister continued, but it docs not authorize the slackening of effort. Rather. it is necessary to rcdouble 1t, as the enemy has put new submersi- bles into service and IS trying a fresh offensive in which he plays for his last stake.
 The sea front has no com munique. The country does not know the terrible life there when great events occur. Yet it is there tlfat there is being played one of the parts which has the greatest influence on the duration and issue of the war. The country knows that mastery of the sea is the certain gauge of vic tory. It should know also that the mastery belongs to the Allies, who have won it and who keep it, thanks to the hcroism of the sailors who are worthy of their soldier brothers"

CASE OF EDITORS IS POSTPONED
 UNTILMAY24

| iPHOENIX, May l3.-A further continuance to May "A was ordered
 today by Justice DeSouza of the pre-. 1 liminary hearing of the criminal libel cases brought by Governor . Hunt against Allan B. Jaynes of the Tucson Citizen and Colonel Fred $. Breen,
 owner of the Coconino Sun. The
 continuance was allowed on the show
 ing by Judge Sloan of the absence of material witness for the defense.
 Professor Harold c. Lawrence of the
 Northern Arizona Normal school, who has been called to Winona Lake. Indiana, by the serious illness of his father, Dr. Marion Lawrence. The offending article which appeared in the Sun and was afterwards used with some comment by the Citizen, was based on a statement by Profes- sOr Lawrence of an utterance deroga- tory Of the war, by Governor Hunt.
 AS 10 the materiality of the testi- mony Of Professor Lawrence, Judge Sloan said that 1t was desired to show by 1t that the article had been printed in good faith and moreover, it was in- tended to show by it that it was true. Professor Lawrence. he said had been expected to be present at the hear ing but that he had been called away so suddenly that he had no oppor- tunity to communicate with the de- fense until he reached Albuquerque whence he sent a postal card to Col onel Breen.
 Judge Sloan and Judge H. Camp bell, representing Mir Jaynes, were present also representing Colonel Green, whose attorney, Judge F.. NJ. Doe, did not come down from Flag staff. At the opening. County Attor- ney Laney moved for a continuance for few days. suggesting Tuesday. Judge Campbell said that contin- nance for three weeks would suit hin, better as he was obliged to leave last night for the cast on legal business which would take him to Washington. New York and perhaps to Boston.
 When Judge Sloan moved for a continuance on account of an absent his motion was vigorously by County Attorney Laney. It was then that Judge Sloan stated what was expected to be proven by Professor Lawrence, of whom Mir Laney said he had not before heard. ! He held a brief conference with Gov crnor Hunt who said he would op- pose proposal to take the deposition of Professor Lawrence.
