NOT ALARMING

The impression given out by Senator
Hitchcock when he stated that the shipping
situation was in an unbelievably bad condi-
ton is not borne out by the foreign trade
statistics of the United States for the 1917
calendar year. For example, the 1917 &C
tivity of the manufacturers of the United
States is evidenced by the fact that the
value of the manufacturing material i'm
ported in 1917 was double that of 1915.
The value of manufacturing material inn
ported, as shown by a compilation by the
National City Bank of New York, in the
calendar year 1917, was in round terms
one billion eight hundred million against
nine hundred and flfty-seven million in
1915 and eight hundred and seventy-four
million in 1914
Manufacturing material formed in 1917
siXty-one per cent of the total merchandise
imported, against fifty-four per cent in
1915 and forty-nine per cent in 1914. An
other evidence of the activity of the manu-
facturers of the United States in the year
just ended is found in the fact that the
value of manufactures exported in the cal
endar year 1917 aggregated nearly four
billion against one billion seven hundred
and ninety-One million 1915 and nine hun
dred and seventy-four million in 1914
While some parts of these large increases
for 1917 are due to higher prices, the guam
titles imported are in most cases much
larger, especially when compared with
1915. Rubber imports for 1917 are nearly
double those of 1915; silk about twenty
five per cent more than 1915; wool despite
the scarcity and extreme high prices. slight
ly more than 1915 but less than 1916; hides
slightly in excess of 1915, but below the
total of 1916.
1t is obvious that without ships or with
the shipping in the plight Senator Hitch
cock implied, no such export and import
trade could have been carried on

TERRIBLE TOLL

Ship tonnage sunk by submarines in 1917
was nearly three times as great as the total
of production in the United States and
Great Britain during that year
This was disclosed by the announce
ment of Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of
the kNchequer, in the British House of
Commons, that Great Britain produced
only l,l63,4l4 tons of shipping last year
The output in the United States was COL
223 tons, making a total combined tonnage
OF 2,O64697 while sinkings by submarines
last year generally are reckoned at 6,OOO,-
600 tons.
While complete figures on construction
in Japan, Italy. France and other nations
are not yet available, offiials here do not
believe that their aggregate cqualed the
total of the United States. If that is the
case, submarine sinkings more than
doubled all new tonnage produced.
Both American and British officials ex-
pect very different story in 1913, how
ever. The United States and Great Britain
are speeding up their building programs
and naval officials in both countries have
confidently predicted that the submarine
will be curbed this summer. Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe formerly chief of the British
naval staff, recently predicted that by next
August it could be said that Submarine
menace is killed" However, he prediced
dark months before that time.

Four Prohibition
Speakers Will Be
Heard Here Today

Several speakers of note will be
heard in the different city churches
today, all making addresses in be-
half of prohibition. 1t is expected
that this will be the opening of the
statewide campaign for a dry state,
and much local interest is manifest
ed in the talks.
At the First Methodist church this
evening DR. A. c. Bane will speak
and as he has a national reputation
his audience will likely crowd the
big edifice to the portals.
At the First Baptist church DIR.
Bane will speak at IL a. M, and to-
night a special illustrated song will
be rendered by Miss Wilhelm.
At the Gadsden Street Methodist
caurch at IL o'clock this morning
DIR. Swadener will deliver an address
in support of the issue.
Dr. III. t. Langhbaum will be heard
by the congregation of the First
Christian church at II o'clock this
morning, and at the East Hill Bap-
fist church at 7:30 o'clock tonight.
AS all of these speakers are men
of national renown, they are assured
of attentive and large audiences.

Jacksonville, formerly one of the wettest

brought home to the men of that city that
only in that way can they hope to secure
environments or the ship-building plant for
which they are working
Pensacola has reached the same con-
clusion.

during the campaign Just launched and
should throw his influence on the side of a
more prosperous Pensacola.
