Washington, April 27.-The Senate
resolution for the registration for
military service of young men who
have reached the age of Il years
since June 5 last, had been adopted
by the house. The measure now goes
to conference.
An amendment offered by Repre-

119- to 81, provides that men regis
tered under the bill shall be placed
at the bottom of the classes to which
they may be assigned.
Medics Not Exempt.
The house sustained the military
committee in striking out a provision
of the bill as it passed the senate
which would exempt from registration
those eligibles who have entered med

last.
Representative Kahn of California
ranking Republican on the military
committee told the house the pro
posed new registration would place
from 5000 to 100000 new registrants

ABOUT ONE PER CENT
American Shipping Losses For
1917 Are Remarkably Light.
British Official Report Is Issued Civ
Ing Tonnage Sunk by Mines
and Submarine.

Washington, April 27.-A compari.
son with Americas losses for the
same period Is permitted by the pub
lication by the British government
of shipping losses for the year 1917
and for the first three months of
1918 of British and Allied ships.
American losses were about l per
cent Of the total tonnage destroyed
by U-boats, raiders and mines for
the year 1917 and only slight increase
is shown for 1918. 1t is a remarkable
showing in view of the American. ton
mage that has constantly been passing
through the danger zones and the re-
cent increased activity of American
troop and supply ships.
On the figures, the U-boat menace
is negligible to American shipping
and the only conclusion is that their
conveys have given efficient protec-
ton or that luck and skilfull naviga-
tion have enabled them to outwit the
commanders of the undersea boats.
In 1917 the total losses of British
and Allied shipping amounted to lO.-
632,651 tons by the British reports.
OF this total, United States shipping
suffered only to the extent OF 164 500
gross tons.
For the first quarter Of 1918, the
British and Allied shipping losses
were 1917 ,0S6 tons. Up to date, the
losses to the United States shipping
for the year have been 27,545 gross
tons, representing the loss OF seven
steam vessels and schooner of 130
tons.
The total loss In tonnage of Ameri-
can shipping since the beginning OF
the war has been So vessels, 46 steam
and 40 sailing craft with a total ton.
mage of 22O,399 gross tons.
