loss in 1917 was 6,723, 1923 tons.
As against this the total output Of

Hollands Answer Was

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS
REASONS FOR SEIZURE
Holland Is Acting Under
Shadow Of Hampering Ger
man influence

Washington, Mar. 2l.-One million
tons of Dutch shipping is today be-
meath allied flags ready TO swell de-
pleted marine in war against Ger
many.
1nls significant addition to the Am
erican-alhed fleets was accomplished
overnight after Holland IS answer to
proposals for an agreement had PROV
en- impossible of acceptance.
In tne case of the seventy seven ships
in American harbors, the presidential
proclamation was the means whereby
they were taken over by the navy. With
tho proclamation went statement from
the president indicating clearly that
Aolland-'tw 'twixt the devil and the deep
sea-had undoubtedly been hampered as
to an agreement by the threats Of Ger
many.
He showed how the Dutch government
Dutch ships in Belgium and with re-
Dutch ships in Belgium and wiss re-
lief work had been unable to fulfill her
part, evidently because of the Teut0n
threats TO torpedo ship leaving Hol-
land.
With the ships actually in possession
Of the United States and The allies,
little time will be lost in putting them
in the transatlantic transport service.
American naval crews were at once
available for manning them as the bur-
eau of operations and navigation had
planned this matter carefully in ad-
vance. Actual seizure was accomplished
about clock last night, and as far
as reports here show no difficulty was
encountered.
The Dutch will be paid for the ships
under the terms Of international law.
In making his statement as to seiz-
ure, the president pointed out fully that
Holland had acted under the shadow
of the hampering German influence, and
emphasized that this government is en-
tirely friendly to The Netherlands. She
will get food supplies, as originally

The last two quarters of 1917 show
ed decline in ship losses, over the
second quarter, but the figures were
higher than for any other period except
the fourth quarter of 1916.
No attempt was made to furnish the
economic loss involved, but it runs into

so that they will correspond to the

the proposed amendments, which will
receive further action at the next meet

be held biennially at the same time that

Of candidates at such primary election

A candidate at the primary election who
receives majority of all the votes
cast for such office, shall be elected,
and shall receive the same certificate

FACTORIES TO SOON
GIVE ALLIES A VAST
SUPERIORITY in AIR
Battle Planes Double In Mum
Der All In USe--Their
Power Increased

Washington, Mar. 21-The United
States, by the last of August, will have
completed more than double the number
of battle planes now in use by Ger.
many, England and France, aviation of
ficials declared today.
While admitting that the aeroplane
program is two months behind the or
iginal schedule, and contending that
tie United States plans have been over
advertised, the officials suggested that
vast work has been done.
There will be no 100000 planes this
year and the figure by late August will
not run up to even twenty thousand
planes.
But it will be, according to produc-
tion reports, so vast number as to give
big allied superiority in the air.
Training planes are now going into
storage. They are smaller and lighter
than the combat and combing planes
ard easier of production.
Battle planes are being built bigger
and faster than originally planned. The
liberty motor, originally planned to de-
Vclop $50 horsepower, has been altered
to deveIop 40h normally and AGO under
pressure.
The investigation into the airplane
situation is developing laxities in organ
ization-too msny officers, too many
branches, toe Little coordination.
