 COMPARISON MADE


 "It is well to compare this dispatch with the article that the military cor respondents of the semi official Nord- deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung published on March IS. Tn this article, entitled When Will the Offensive Be Made' one reads this sentence Tt is very probable that the many divisions that are now assembled on the west front will not be long inactive It is true that the same writer adds, Can 1t be said that we will be postponing the final decision if we do not attack at once? Are there not other ways Of crushing our adversaries? The shame ful violence shown by the entente to- ward neutrals and practically towards Holland. shows us how much the sub marine war menaces our enemies. Even if we should not attack, the leaders Of the entente will soon be themselves brought to ruin.
 "The correspondent of the National Zeitung of Basel, telegraphed to that paper on March IS, from Vienna: "'According to my own impressions, official circles cannot count upon the 1 immediate successes of their pacifst efforts and the starting of an attack on the west front seems inevitable" l The dispatch concludes with the fol- l lowing comment:
 1 Tt is of interest to record all these press notes whose conclusions seem to i indicate that they are following or 1 ders It is we'll to be remembered that | there can always be in these cam paigns a possible political maneuver

BRITISH SHIP LOSSES BY TONNAGE WILL
 IBE MADE PUBLIC

Lcndon. March 20,-Figures on the shipping output and tonnage losses of Great Britain will be published regu- larly hereafter, 1t was announced in the House of Commons today by Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, the first lord of the admiralty, during the debate on the navy shipbuilding bill.
 It would not be in the national in tsrest, however, to give the tonnage of losses up to date. the first lord added
 The worlds tonnage. exclusive of enemy ships, had fallen 2,5oo,Ooo from the beginning of the war to the end of 1917 Sir Eric stated
 The amount of tonnage sunk in tEe last 12 months was 6,oo0,000, said Sir Eric, instead of 9,50o,oo0 as the Ger mans claim.
 The merchant tonnage produced in the fourth quarter of 1914, was 420.- coo, he said, and it had fallen stead ily since
 The total allied and neutral tonna ge is now 42,00o,o000, Sir Eric volunteered the information, saving that it was at this figure largely due to the new construction by the United States and the seizure of German ships. The output of new tonnage. he con- tinued, was very low in 1915, and reached it's lowest point in 1916. Thls decline had been coincident with the | increased output of munitions and be- fore the intensified submarine war be- gan Great Britain was l,5oo,oo0 tons to | the bad.

Americans Will Observe Today the Glorious Fourth With Solemnity and Pause Rather Than With Heedess
 Racket High Explosives and Frivolous Affairs

by Americans with a solemnity and pause never before known in the his tory of the world. for since that first Independence Day. the situation in this country has never been more acute, more vital. more serious.
 Patriotism is a curious thing. as well as a beautiful thing; there may have been times when we imagined it burned low and we feared that the spirit of '7C might have departed but let the band strike up America" to- day. or "The -Spangled Banner" and let the flag wave and the soldier boys go marching by, and To! the flame is greater, more valiant, more wonder full than ever.
 When we think soberly of what the men of '76 did for us of 1918, and when we realize what the men of 1918 them dearly and there is a gratitude in our hearts that makes Americans want to pause and solemnly think of the state of affairs as they stand to- day, and we do not have to be admon- ished into keeping a Safe and Sane Fourth"
 'Our fathers God to Thee,
 Author of liberty,
 To Thee we sing.
 Long may our land be bright
 With freedoms holy light
 Protect us by Thy might,
 Great God, our King"
