NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-In the twelve months of unrestricted warfare launched against American and allied shipping by Germany one year ago Fri day, there have been sunk by suma- rlnes, mines and raiders 69 American vessels, tOtalling I'll, ,601 gross tons, ac- cording to a careful compilation of records of sinkings which have been made public during the period.
 Offsetting this loss of American yes sels, most of which were sailing ships, the United States since February 1 has added to her merchant marine by the seizure of former German and Aus trian owned ships a total of 107 vessels having a gross tonnage of 6S6,494, Ieav- Ing on the credit side of the American ledger in the account with the central powers, a net gain of 515 4S3 gross tons. The loss of life caused by the sinking of the 69 American ships was more than 300 persons, however

 Requisitioning Notable
 Further offsetting the loss of ton- mage occasioned by the submarine war fare, the United States, through the shipping board, reQuisitioned in Amer lean shipyards 426 vessels totalling more than 2,0O0,0O0 gross tons and con tracts have been awarded for SS4 ships a large number of which are under way and are being rushed to comple- ton. In addition, the shipping board on October 15 last placed under gov ernment acquisition 393 American ves- sels of over 2,500 tons deadweight capacity which were already afloat and immediately assigned them to the task of carrying supplies for the allies and the American forces abroad.
 Included in these requistioned Ves- sels were 2l ships in Great Lakes trade and in addition there were comman- deered A steamers building on the lakes for foreign account and ready for launching. Virtually all of these were brought to Atlantic coast ports and immediately put into service.
 Another difficulty which faced the United States III the task of putting 10 sea vessels 10 offset the rayages of the U-boats was the repairins of the 'wiiful damage" done to the former German ships by their officers and crews before the ships were seized This cost millions of dollars and in many instances called for the highest engineering skill to make and replace parts of foreign built engines and boil CTS removed or broken.

We are doubtful as TO the wisdom OF
government ownership Of railroads:
but We have no doubt ts to the wis
dom of government regulation. II was
Calhoun who first warned the country
that unless the government controlled
the railroads the railroads would con-
troll the country. AS we see IT, govern
ment ownership Of railroads could very
quickly resolve itself into railroad
ownership of the government. But It
would he foolish indeed to claim that
the greatest danger to the railroads or
the government is expected from the
railroad workers. There is absolutely
no danger whatever on that score. be-
cause than railroad workers we have
no better citizens in this country. They
are as patriotic us anybody. as honest.
AS brave. AZ humane. II there be those
who think the contrary they simply
do not know. The danger to the coun-
try through or on account of railroads,
comes from that class of financial ma
nipulators and gamblers who made a
business Of wrecking railroad proper
ties. not trains and the like; but bus
mess and financial organizations for
purposes of robbery. The whole rail-
road problem hinges around the find
ing of some way to secure honest and
efficient higher administration. secure
from financial piracy.

STILL HOLDING light.

There has probably Eevcr before
been so much cotton In the hands OF
the farmers of York county at this sea-
son of the year as there is now. The
warehouses are full and there is cotton
stacked up at nearly every farmhouse.
some of il insured and some of it not.
There are people who think it un-
wise to make such statements as this
that the information ought not to be
published. The people who think this
way, however, are not as numerous as
they used TO be. Most present dar
farmers realize that the exchanges all
know exactly how much cotton has
been ginned, how much has passed in
to the hands of the spinners at home
and how much has been exported.
That the price of cotton is steadily
falling in the face of the fact that a
cotton famine exists throughout Europe
as we'll as most of the balance Of the
world. naturally disturbs a good many
holders: but nevertheless but few peo-
pie are selling. The common senti-
ment seems to be that no matter what
the spectators may be able to do with
cotton for the time being, prices must
go up before the next crop Is gathered.
or course there are good many
cotton growers in this section who oTe
more or less money to the supply peo-
pie and others: but the best informa-
ton along this line is that there has
never been a time when the holders OF
cotton were so free from obligations
that would force them to sell.
There has been no appreciable re-
duction in the price OF cotton goods,
either wholesale or retail. 1t is true
that some Of the wholesale dealers are
shaving the price on some lines OF cot
ton goods to the retailer. on condition
that the retailed buy more largely OF
certain other kinds OF goods with
which the wholesaler is overstoo ked !:
hut that is taken to mean a weakness
in the other kinds Of goods rather than
in cotton.
