Declares ShipbuiIding
Does Not Equal the
Sinkings by U-Boats

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 7.-Standard lips
produced in British shipyards in a fort
night are not equal to the sinkings by
submarines, Sir John K. El}erman,
steamship owner declared at a meeting
OF the chamber of shipping. He ex
planned that owing to the conditions
under which shipowners are carrying
on trade and war conditions. marine
casualties, apart from enemy action.
are doubel and treble what they were
in the days before the war. He said
that the output of shipping since the
war was not sufficient to make good
the losses by marine causes alone. leav-
ing the losses by enemy action yet to
be made UP.
Baron Inchoaho, complaining of what
he termed the unpromising outlook.
said that not "a. sound had bsen heard
along the Clyde since noon last Satur-
day. 1t might be, he suggested, that
no war was going on and thai no new
ships or deStroyers to hunt submarines
were required. He said he thought
more information about shipping losses
might be given the people to make
them appreciate the gravity of the sit
uation. adding:
Our tonnage is being sunk at a rate
of which the people have no conception.
There is a, curious lack of realization in
many parts Of the country as to the
grave situation with which we are
faced"

WOULD BUY FARMERS SEED.
Representative Baer's New Bill Asks
for S1O.OOO,ooo.

Financing farmers for the purchase
of seeds and appropriation for the De-
partment of Agriculture to transport
farm labor to harvest the crops is pro-
posed by Representative Baer of North
Dakota. whose bill appropriating $780,,
100000 for purchasing seed recently
failed of approval by the House COM
mittee on agriculture.
Representative Baer has now come
back with this new measure, which, he
says, meets the objections raised by
members of that committee
1t would appropriate s10,00o,000, of
which $7,500,OO0 would be loaned to
farmers in the spring wheat belt to
buy seed. and S2,5eo.eo0 would be used
by the government in mobilizing and
Transporting farm labor. Not more
than $3.50 would be loaned to any one
farmer.

ATTACKS METHODS OF
FINANCING INDUSTRIES

"One senator on this floor and a num-
Der of members of Congress, and par
ticularly the distinguished Postmaster
General-who does not know one-tenth
as much about the telephone business
as I do-propose with wave of the
hand to take over the telephone system
of the District of Columbia" said Sem
ator Harding of Ohio in a speech yes
terday afternoon attacking the course
of the government ain attempting to
finance industries today. remotely con-
nected, if at all, with the prosecution of
the war. He was opposing the enact
ment into law of the pending war
finance corporation.
Everything attempted today is at
tempted in the name of the war, wheth-
er it is the construction of a county
road or the passage of woman suf-
frage constitutional amendment. Il
think we have gone war mad" said Mr..
Harding.
This bill starts out by saying it is
for the purpose of financing war indus
tries" he said. Il doubt very much II
there is a senator on this floor who
does not know that every industry nee
essarily connected with the prosecution
of the war is financed by the depart
ment with which it operates.
Would Drive E1nancier to Drink.
1.-The shipping board has INDUCED in a
system of financing that in ordinary
times would drive a sober financier to
drink; the War Department has been
financing industries connected with
munitions In a manner so liberal that
1t could not enlist approval were not
the necessities of the government so
urgent, and the Navy Department has
been extending its funds to necessary
industries so that everything directly
or indirectly connected with the prose-
cution of the war has the governments
financial aid at the present time"
IT can see nothing in this bill which
will create $4.000.000.o00 of additional
wealth in this country" he said.
There has been appeal after appeal
for Congress to modify the revenue
measure to enable industries to meet
the war and excess profits taxes. but
that has been met with opposition by
| the men who run things at the other
end of Pennsylvania avenue
Unless something is done to permit

banks of Ohio will be wiped out

neutral states in connection with the
negotiations by the United States to
acquire neutral tonnage and argues
that vessels SO acquired assume hos

such no matter whether the tonnage is

The paper contends that such trans

and involves serious danger of compiI-
cations, AS already shown in the his
tory of the United states during the

1t adds that participation by neutrals

PREPARE HOUSE FOR WINTER
Fowls Withstand Cold Air Much Bet
ter Than impure-ventilation Of
Much Importance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Hens can withstand cold air much
better than impure air. Don't shut
the poultry house up tight at night to
keer ont the cold unless ventilation is
provided. Hens will thrive better-and
lay more eggs-if they have plenty of
pure air; not draughts. 1t Is as neces-
sury to fowls as clean water and good
food.
When hens are confined In badly
ventilated houses, as Is sometimes the
case in cold weather, they lose vital
ity, produce fewer eggs. and often be-
come sick and stop laying. Good ven
tilation is needed also to keep the
house dry. In cold weather moisture
collects on the walls and roof in u
poorly ventilated house, making it very
uncomfortable for the poultry to live
In. When the temperature rises this
moisture trickles down saturating the
air and making the litter on the floor
wet.
If the house is not overcrowded and
is insufiiciently ventilated for only a
| day In cold weather, no great harm Is
done. In an overcrowded house condi-
tons become insanitary In n few hours.
Even in house properly stocked con.
diti0ns ut the end of one day of i'm
pure air are noticeably bad and, unless
promptly corrected, grow steadily
| worse.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness In a poultry house is simply
Il matter Of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary to
keep the walls dry. Few poultry keep
ers have any difficulty in this until the
temperature goes low enough to freeze
water In the house. Then the tendency
is to close doors and windows to keep
the house warm.
This is the right idea, subject to the
practical limitation that the house
must not be closed so tight that the
supply of fresh air Is insufficient, and
the circulation of air Is retarded to
such an extent that moisture collects
on the walls. The proper regulation
of ventilation insures pure air and dry
ness. and keeps the house as warm as
Is practicable without the use Of arti-
ficial heat, or special provision to abb
sorb an excess of moisture. The ad.
justment of doors and windows to pro-
vide the conditions required must be
learned by observation.
The general rule Is to open doors
and windows as much as is necessary
to keep the house dry In cold weather,
and to keep them wide open when wa
ter In the house will not freeze.
Cheap cotton cloth and common bur.
lap are often used In some of the win
dows Of poultry house In place OF
glass. Cotton cloth Is to be preferred
for this purpose because 1t is cleaner
and admits more light. When both
cloth and glass windows are used the
