GERMANY ATTEMPTS TO
HIDE U-BOAT LOSSES
French Minister Says More Divers Are
Being Destroyed Than Built
Fewer Ships Sunk.

Paris, May 1.-THE effectiveness OF
the German submarine campaign Is
declining. The German government is
aware of this fact. declared Georges
Leygues, minister of marine, before
the naval committee Of the chamber
of deputies, but has made the greatest
efforts to conceal it. He said that the
situation was most favorable and that
the sinkings Of submarines in the flrst
three months of 1918 was greater than
the number built by the enemy.
Minister Leygues referred to the
statement made in the reichstag on
April II by Vice Admiral Won Capelle,
German minister Of marine, in when
he said 100000 tons of allies shipping
were sunk monthly. This figure. the
minister said, was incorrect.
1t was reached and passed in April,
May and June Of 1917. In July it de-
cfined and in November it fell below
100000 and since has diminished con-
tinuOuSly.
Nj. Leagues said that in February,
March and April 3,723 French steam
ers and 78S French sailing vessels
passed through the danger zone where
few months ago losses by torpedoing
were very heavy. Not 4 single ship
was sunk.

Record Of City and State.

Milwaukee, May 15.-Under the IL
tie Of ''The Americanism of a City and
State" the Milwaukee Association of
Commerce has issued a brochure deny
lEg the allegations that have appeared
from time to time of prO-Germanism
of both Milwaukee and Wisconsin. 1t
sets forth that Milwaukee has more
than 1900 boys enlisted in the mill
tary service, and that the state has
furnished almost $4,000 who have vol
UNFAIRLY enlisted
The claim is made that Milwaukee
was the first large city to report a
complete military registration on June
D and that the state was the first to
file in Washington its complete regis
tratiOn report that on April - there
were more Wisconsin men in the
trenches than had come from any other
state in the Union and that MiIwau-
KEGS naval representative said Mil
Waukee had beaten practically every
other station in the middle West in re-
cruits
The brochure also sets forth that
Milwaukee built a gun factory in 80
days backed by brain and finance, and
that 1t is now six months ahead of it's
schedule; that there has been no labor
trouble TO check war production and
that the city has gone over the top
with every financial demand of the ma
ton by big margin.

agents stepped into the trial Of Miss
Grace Lusk when a special agent of
the United States district attorney
took seat in court and prepared to
hear the tragic story of the romance
that ended in the Staying of Mrs. Mary
Newman Roberts, wife of DR.. David
Roberts and the man Grace Lusk
loved. The appearance of the United
States agent revived reports that the
Mann act charges may follow the reve-
latiOn of facts in the case. The alleged
stories of Miss Lusk regarding secret
trips she says she took with Doctor
Roberts to other cities had an espe-
cial interest for the government prose-
cutOr. 1t was also reported that Doc
tor Roberts would refuse to testify,
claiming his constitutional right The
process of selecting the jury continues
with unusual speed.

Graphic Story of the Murder of c
 Russian Prince and His Daughters

| the owner. At last he was found, and
 dragged into the courtyard among
 the derisive yells of the soldiers wait | ing for their victim. They decided to
 take him to the village where they
 ere stationed, and dragged the old
 man along, for he was too old to walk
 at the pace they desired. On the way
 they finally lost the last shred of self
 control, let the Prince drop half senseless on the ground and then a
 score of men thrust their bayonets
 into his body. So died Prince Sang ushko. His murderers, like savage beasts, tore his body in pieces.
 "The fate of his nieces, the two Countesses Rzyszccwski, was more terrible than that of the Prince. They had managed to escape by back way and had got to the market place of the town. There they were recognized, and soldiers at once. siezed them. These two youthful CCuHISSSSSJ WuO0C SANiUAo1CC lONCIi- ness had made them the center of all eyes in the salons of the palaces of Warsaw and whose goodness and sweetness had made them beloved by the people of Slavuta, were defended for a time by the Catholic priest of Slavuta, who had known them from childhood and prepared them for first communion. But the soldiers refused to be deprived of their victims and showered blows with the butt-ends of their rifles on the courageous priest, who fell and was beaten to death. It is perhaps we'll that the sufferings of the two countesses ended In death.
 "The day ended with the soldiers running amuck in the town, murder ing and maltreating peaceful inhab- itants, while the scene was lit up by the flames of the blazing castle of the Sangusko."

SHOULD ADDRESS CORRECTLY.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 London, Jan. 11-Americans who write letters to friends abroad should take special pains to address the let ters adequately. If an exact address cannot be obtained, and it is neces- sary for any reason to address the l tier "care of the American Embas- sy in London" all possible details re- earding the person addressed should be given on the face of the envelope for the assistance of the Embassy authorities.
 There are now lying at the Ameri- can Embassy here hundreds of letters, which have been addressed casually "care American Embassy" and which the Embassy officials have no way of delivering. If the senders had even indicated whether the person address ed was in the army, the navy, the aviation corps, or the nature of his business in London, there might have been a chance of the letter finding its way, but without any such particulars, the likelihood of it's reaching it's des- tination is rather remote.
 Some people at home seem to think that the American Embassy in London is a small compact office where is kept a card index of all Americans abroad. As matter of fact, the American Embassy in Lon don has expanded since the war until it occupies half-dozen scat tered buildings and employs several hundred clerks and secretaries. Americans who call at the Embassy usually have business with only one department and the clerks who have charge of the casual mail are eX- tremely unlikely to hear their name.
