U-BOAT WAR IS
AFAILURE' SAYS
SIR ERIC GEDDES
After Year of RuthlessneSs
Submarines Are Held,
English Belief
BY Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 2.-One year of
ruthless warfare by German subma-
rines brings this answer from Sir
Eric Geddes. First Lord of the Brit
ish Admiralty: THE submarine is
held" Coincident with this announce
ment comes the disclosure by a Dutch
newspaper that German military and
financial leaders expected the U-boats
to bring Great Britain to her knees
in six months and end the war.
Sinking of merchant shipping has
dropped below the level maintained
before the policy of unlimited de-
struction went into effect on Feb
ruary !. 1917. Sir Eric Geddes de-
clares he can foresee no change in
the situation but for the better. To
bring about the complete defeat of
the U-boats soon it is necessary to
have ships and more ships, Sir Eric
says, and he believes the shipbuilders
Of the United States and Great Brit
ain will meet the emergency.
The Amsterdam Handelsblad says
before ruthlessness was decided upon
the German naval and military lead
ers consulted financiers and business
r7en, and 1t was agreed that the sub
marine was the only means of de-
feating Great Britain and making a
firm peace" Little weigh was at
tached to the opinion that unlimited
U-bCat warfare would result in the
United States entering the war.
GIorify U-Boat
Amsterdam, Feb. 2.-The semi
official Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung and other Berlin newspapers
publish articles on the anniversary
of unrestricted submarine warfare
They glorify the U-boat as "wea-
pom which has achieved strategic
and moral results, particularly
against Great Britain in it's world po-
sition."

RATES ID
 RISE TEN PER CENT
Republican A. E. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Con- solidated Express company, to start operation July l, will increase it's rate about 10 per cent, with the sanction of the interstate commerce commission, it was learned today. Many excep- tionS to the eneral increase are to be made, however.
 The commission is expected to an nounce tomorrow it's decision on the express rate increase, application for which has been pending since last fall. It is understood that, although the ac- tion will be favorable. consideration has been given to the suggestion of shippers that flat increase would not be justified for all class of service and localities.
 The commission today incidentally handed down an order denying the ap plication of the leading express com panies for permission to apply a IS instead of 10 per cent higher rates, and promptly withdrew this order when it was found that the decision on the 10 per cent phase of the application did not accompany the order.

Every man, woman and child in the United States, on the average, uses Bell telephones one hundred times a year. This is brought out in the report of the American Telephone and Telegraph company for the year end ing December 31, 1917, made public recently.
 The report shows the Bell system now controls S,500,000 miles of toll wires, bringing tooether all cities and towns and most of the rural communi- ties of the country. The traffic last year broke all records. The daily av- craze number of toll-or long distance connections was 1.009,000, and of To- cal connections S0,S45,000, the report says.
