ONLY s Per CENT LOST
Germany's Boast of U-Boat
Sinkings Disproved.
Sir Eric Gcddes Makes Statement to
Commons Covering Whole
Period OF War.

London, March 22.-Sir Eric Geddes,
lirst lord of the admiralty, declared
in the house of that the
total net losses of allied and neutral
shipping from the beginning of the
val to Dec. 81, 1917, were only eight
per cent of the total tonnage, which
was 33, 900, 900.
Geddes' statement is a frank ad-
mission that, despite the building
activities of Allies and n~eutrals, they
have s per cent, or more than $780,
900 tons, less shipping now than at
the start of the war. He said the
worlds tonnage, exclusive of enemy
owned vessels, had fallen by $500, 900
tons up to Dec. 81, 1917. He said the
Germans claim to have sunk 100000
ton from the beginning Of the war
to Dec. 81. The actual loss, he said,
was only 100000
The total output Of shipping during
the last quarter of 1917 was 100000
tons, compared with 213 900 tons dur
ing the corresponding period of 1916.
Geddes said shipbuidling amounted
to only $4,000 tons in January and
100, 900 In February of this year. He
said he hoped these figures would
make employers and workmen realize
their responsibility.

WAR HEADS MEET WILSON
Two-Hour Conference Held to Discuss
War Production.


Washington, March 2~2.-Industrial
var production was discussed at a
two-hour White House conference
between President Wilson and heads
of six big government war agencies.
It was the first Of a series Of meet
ings which may be held weekly In
the future, and was considered sspe-
cially significant in view Of recent
advocacy in Congress and elsewhere
of a central Institution to coordinate
different kinds OF wal activities.
II was stated after the meeting that
no plan was discussed for establish
ing some other central government
body to meet continuously and deal
in a specific and scientific way with
matters touching more than one phase
of government war management. The
conference itself expects to deal only
with the broad aspects OF co-ordina-
ton and will leave details to be a r
ried out by subordinates In direct
dealings with each other.

Asphyxiating Gas Used BY Americans
With Good Effect, Foe Activities
Being Quoted.

London, March 22.-Activity of the
front has been held down to small
infantry attacks and artillery duels
which on some sectors have been
quite violent.
To the French again has fallen the
task of facing the fiercest infantry
fighting. In Lorraine the Germans de-
livsred numerous strong attacks, but
all of them were put down with san
culinary losses to the attackers. At
several other points the Germans al
SO have endeavored to penetrate the
French petitions, but everywhere have
been beaten off, leaving behind them
men killed and wounded.
The American troops on the Toul
sector recently have been giving the
Germans, and effectively, a dose OF
their own favorite weapon-asphyxi.

the Germans were gas shelled and the
quiescent attitude of the enemy upon
all of them afterward indicated that
the gases had had the desired eff
feet.
Although the snow is melting I'm
the mountain regions Of the Italian
theater, sufficient of 1t still lies on
the ground to make impossible for
the present the commencement by
either side of hostilities of great mag
nitude. Bombardments continue all
along the front, being especially vio-
lent west of Lake Garda. Heavy
freshets have made the Pave river
impossible to large forces of troops.

Pound Tommies' Lines On
Fifty Mile Front in France
Haig Says.
BRITAIN FEELS SHOCKS
Windows Shaken Along East Coast
Activity May be Opening of.
Heralded Drive or Ruse to Put
Allies OFF Guard.

London, March 22.-The Germans
have begun a heavy b~ombardment
over wide sections of the British
front, it is announced officially.
The statement says: "A heavy
bombardment has been opened by the
enemy against our whole front in the
neighborhood of Vendeuil, south of
St. Quentin to the River Scarpe."
Shocks Felt In England.
The artillery action o. the western
ront could be distinctly heard at
Dover and other towns on the east
coast of England. The doors and
windows of the houses at Dover, for
instance, were continuously shaken
by the heavy conclusions.
The firing, which was the heaviest
that has been heard In this district
from such a distance, began at 3
o'clock and lasted at brief intervals
until Z a.. m.
AT Ramsgate, besides the sound OF
cannonading, bright flashes were seen
at sea while the vibration Of explo-
sions shook the windows and dis.
lodged tile from the roofs.
May Be Advertised Drive.
From Vendeuil north to the river
Scarpe Is a distance of nearly so
miles, and the beginning by the Ger
man artillery of a heavy bombardment
along this wide front may mean that
preparations for the much advertised
German offensive in the west has
been begun. The preparatory work
was about due to begin If the adj
vance announcements were to be TAX
IN at their face value, judging from
the news of a day or two G that
a party of neutral correspondents had
been invited by the German high CON-
mand to start for the German front
on Wednesday to witness the often
sive."
May Be Ruse.
1t is, OF course, impossible to say
whether the present burst Of artillery
fire means it is along the line indi-
Gated or somewhere within its limits
that the heavy German blow. IL one
indeed Is coming, is to be struck.
There Is consideration that h bOm-
bardment in this particular may be a
feint to cover a stroke in an alto
gether different sector. The most
natural conclusion, however, is that
the drive is to be made at some
point in this area now under fire.
Takes In Famous Fields.
This area embraces most of the ter.
ritory outside of Flanders. owe which
the British have been fighting some
times alone and sometimes In con-
junction with the French, for the last
