IlANY MORE SHIPS sunk THAN BUILT
The Tonnage Destroyed in 1917 Is
DOab,e The Production in
WEO,e WOrli.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Ship tonnage
sunk by submarines in 1917 was near
ly three times as great as the praduc
tion in the United States and Great
Britain during thslt year
This was disclosed today by the an
nouncencnt Of Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the excnequer, in the
British House of Commons, that Great
Britain produced only 1853 474 tons
of shipping last year. The output in
the United States was 901.223 tons,
making q total combined tonnage of
2,064,697, while sinkings by subnla-
rines last year ere reckoned at 6,O0O,-
900 tons. While complete figures on
construction in Japan, Italy, France
and other nations in 1917 are not yet
available, officials here do not beiievc
their aggregate equalod the total Of
the United States. If that is true,
submarine sinkings more than dou
bled c(l tonnage produced.
American and British officials eX-
pect a different story in 1918. The
United States ard Great Britain are
officials in both countries have pre-
ClCtcu Ilul lue VIII Oc
curbed this summer. Secretary DAN
iels believes that effectucl results
will be obtained in the early summer
Admiral Sir John r. Jellicoe, former
chef of the British naval staff, re-
Gently predicted that by next August
it could be said th2t the submarine
menace is killed However, he pre-
dicted dark months before that time.
The output of ship tonnage in the
United States in 1918 has been vari-
ously estimated at from 2.500,000 tons
to 100000 tons. with Shipping Board
officials confident that at least $780,
900 tons will be completed. Great
Britain is expected to materially In
crease its 1917 figures.
Japan's operations now are hamper
ed by lack of steel, hut this will be
overcome, and that country is ex-
pected to increase it's output this year.
Other countries are building few
ships.

careful and conservative man OF
known business ability.
Mr.. Bell has solved the problem for
Mr. Reed by taking a block amount
ing to 81, 500. Since Mr. Bell is known
+o he an active and successful tarWer
his example will carry with it assur-
ance to any others who might be in
cliued to hesitate as to the wisdom
of investing extensively in the new
loan.
Mr.. Bell has not only purchased the
above named bonds but he has gone
to the limit in War Savings Stamps
81 OOO-and in addition has given
70 the Red Cross $50 since this nation
entered the war;
Just at this time Mr.. Bell is making
a special effort to produce such crops
as will add the most to the sum
total of food for the nation. While ne
ia doing this he is also endeavoring to
introduce into TINS section special

buH that he feels sure Is
OF the desired strain and hopes
through him to greatly improve our
