U-Boat Losses
In 1917 Trebled
Ship Production
Associated Press Service:

Associated Press Service:
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1G. - Ship
tonnage sunk by submarines in 1917
was nearly three times as great as
the total production in the Unite
States and Great Britain during that
year
This was disclosed Wednesday by
the announcement of Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer in
the British house of commons. that
Great Britain produced only 1865
474 tons of shipping last year. The
output in the United States was
901.223 tons. making a total COM
bined tonnage of 2,O64,697, while
sinkings by submarines last year
generally are reckoned at 5000, 900
tons
While complete figures on con-
struction in Japan, Italy, France
and other nations i'm 1917 are not
yet available. officials here do not
believe their aggregate equalled the
total Of the United states. If tnaI
is the case submarine sinkings more
than doubled all new tonnage pro-
duced.
Different Story in 1913.
Both American and British Off
cials expect a very different story in
1918 however The United States
and Great Britain are speeding up
their building programs. and naval
officials in both countries have con-
idently predicted that the subma-
rine will be curbed this summer.
Sec'y Daniels believes that effective
results will be obtained in the early
summer Admiral Sir John r. Jel-
hcoe. former chief of the British
naval staff, recently predicted that
by next August it could be said that
the submarine menace is killed"
However, he predicted dark months
before that time.
The output of ship tonnage in
the United states in 1918 has been
variously estimated at from $780,
600 to 10000 tons with shipping
board officials confident that at least
100000 tons will be completed.
No estimate OF Great Britain's out
put has been received but that
country is expected to materially in
crease it's 1917 figures
Japan's operations jus now are
hampered by lack of steel, but this
handicap is expected soon to be
overcome and that country also is
expected to increase its output this
year. Other countries are building
but few ships.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Paul c.
Hennig, naturalized German, made
emphatic protestations of loyalty to
the United states while testifying in
his own behalf in the Brooklyn

to have mutilated with 'traitorous
and malicious intent" parts Of
horoscopes made in the E. w. Bliss

The horoscopes were intended for
use by the United States navy.

On cross examination Hennig de-
clared both factory and government
inspectors at the munitions plant

duties and that his relations with
them became unfriendly because he
repeatedly called their attention 10
imperfections in "gyrO" parts which
they had approved.
Hennig declared Lieut. Francis L
Shea. who was in charge OF the
government inspection room at the
plant and a witness against him,
was incompetent and that he had
