IN MEETING LOSSES

Washington, D. c., March 21.-Se-
cret figures Of the British admiralty
on submarine losses and world ship
building were made public here today
BY the British embassy. They show
that from both enemy action and ma
rine risk, on January !, 1918. allied
and neutral shipping had lost since
the war began 1925 gross tons,
while shipyards outside Of the central
powers were turning out 6,606.276
tons.
These figures, long withheld. are
now made public, an admiralty mem
0randum says, because they will not
stimulate the enemy and because they
will impress upon the people the neces-
sity Of united action in making good
losses by submarines.
With them goes m appeal to Brit

BY bringing more men and women to
work on the task and warning that the
tion must not continue.
