HUNS ATTEMPT TO
HIDE SUB LOSSES
French Minister Says U-Boats
Are Falling Down.
MORE DESTROYED THAN MADE
Situation Is Most Favorable for the
Allies-Destruction of Submarines
Has Increased Steadily Since
January.

Paris, May 14.-The effectiveness of
the German submarine campaign Is
declining. The German government is
aware of this fact, declared Georges
Leagues, 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 first
three months Of 1918 was greater than
the number built by the enemy.
Minister Leagues referred to the
statement made in the reichstag on
April II by Vice Admiral Won Capelle,
German minister of marine, in which
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-
clined and in November it fell below
100000 and since has diminished con-
tinuously.
M. Leagues said that in February,
March and April 3723 French steam
ers and 78S French sailing vessels
passed through the danger zone where
few months ago losses by torpedoing
were very heavy. Not a single ship
was sunk.
Destruction of "U" Boats Growing.
On the other hand, he said, the num-
Der of submarines destroyed had in
creased progressively since January
in such proportion that the effective
ness Of enemy squadrons cannot be
maintained at the minimum required
by the regulations. The number of
''U' boats destroyed in January, Feb
ruary and March was far greater in
each month than the number construct
ed in the same month In February
and April the number of submarines
destroyed was three less than the to-
tai destroyed in the previous three
months.
These results, the minister declared
were due to the methOdical character
of the war against submarines to the
close coordination of the allied ma
vies; to the intrepidity and spirit ami
mating the officers and crews of naval
and aerial squadrons and to the inten-
sification of the use of old methods and
the employment of new ones.
"The situation is most favorable"
the minister continued, "but it does
not authorize the slackening of effort.
Rather it is necessary to redouble it,
as the enemy has put new submersi-
bles into service and is trying a fresh
offensive, in which he plays for his
last stake"

100000 IN U. S. ARMY
More Than 100000 Men Have Been
Called in the Draft or Are
Now in France.

Washington, May 13.-More than
100000 men have been called in the
draft so far and either are in France
in camp or under call to go into sery-
ice before June 1. The total of 1,3OO,.
900 includes all men summoned in the
May contingent. There is every indi
cation that even a larger increment
will be summoned in June than was
summoned in May, and a progressive
monthly mobilization continue through
the summer and fall months as the
environments are expanded. It is ex-
pected that at such a rate the army
will reach a full strength of we'll over
100000 within the next twelve or
thirteen months. 1t is possible, some
officers say, that the number will be
closer to 100000 than 100000.

HOOVER HITS HIGH PRICES
Food Administrator for Illinois Gets
Order for "Drive" as to
CornmeaI, Etc.

Chicago, May 11.-Food Administra-
tor Hoover has ordered a drive
against the high prices asked for corn,
meal, barley -four, oatmeal and other
substitutes for wheat flour. He de.
clares fatty that the prices maintained
by dealers in these commodities are
nothing less than extortion and that
there is absolutely no justification for
substitutes being higher in price than
wheat -four. A telegram ordering the
"drive" was received by State Food
Administrator Harry A Wheeler in
which Mr.. Hoover states that corn
meal, barley -four and other substi
tutes for wheat should be selling al
from 10 to Is per cent below wheat
flour.
