Of Ships ,ShOwn
iRv Review Lensed Wlrel

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Figures show
ing AM acute shortage of shipping
were given out today by Edward Hard
ing. chairman of the executive board
of the National Patriotic societies.
According to these figures the pre-
sent shortage is 7,435,S94 tons gross
almost 1900 vessels of 5000 gross tons
each. 1t is declared that the total
tonnage usuable by the United STATES
and its allies today. is 4.435. 1874 gross
tons less than it was in the fall of
1914.
It wss estimated that to this shor--
age MUST be added 5000, 900 tons as
the mapimum necessary for the United
States to transport and maintain l.
100000 men in the war zone.
Estimates were that 100000 tons
will be the maximum of what is tc
be expected from Great Britain in
1918 and revised predictions are thst
the United States NAV not exceed
100000 tons this year II was
pointed out. however, that the de-
structian OF vessels during the first
year OF unrestricted submarine war
fare was between 100000 and T.
600, 600 tons.
The figures were given out as part
of a campaign to win public support
for an immense program OF ship
construction.

Reds Hold Norgen Island.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The bill
to govern federal operation of rail
roads was passed By the house to
night by a vote of 337 TO 6.
Two democrats and four republi-
cans voted against the measure when
the final test came They were
Thomas. Kentucky, and Gordon, Ohio,
Democrats: and Chandler. Oklahoma;
DenisOn, Illinois; Haugen. Iowa; and
Ramsey, Iowa, Republicans.
The senate previously had passed.
the bill which now goes to confer
ence for settlement of differences be
tween the two houses The house bill
provides for the return OF the roads
to their owners two years after the
war ends instead of in is months as
the senate draft proposed and the
house measure vests final rate fix
ing authority in the president while
the senate would leave this power
in the Interstate commerce. These
two sections of the bill cduse spirited
contests in the house today. OPpol-
ents of these features won momentary
victories when the bill was discus
sed in the committee of the whole
but on final vote proponents marshal
ed their forces mostly on the demo
cratic SIDE and succeeded in putting
through the bill with these features
intact An amendment by Represen-
tative Sweet of Iowa, giving the rate
making power to Interstate Commerce
Commission was adopted in commit
tee of the whole 164 to :i57.
This showed almost the full
strength for the amendment as when
the vote was taken on final passage
it was defeated 165 to 211
In the committee of the whole an
amendment by Representative Esch
of Wisconsin to limit tenure after the
war to ne year was adopted 1S3 to 40
but like the Sweet amendment it was
thrown out on. final passage 206 20
166.
The senate bill definitely provides
the basis of compensation shall be a
just return on the average net operat-
ing income for the three years period
ending June 30. 1917, but the house
bill is a little more elastic.
The house adopted an amendment

following heavy barrage fire against
the American trenches in the Chel1in

There were no American casualties.
Five French soldiers were wounded
during the fighting.
The American stayed in their dug
outs until the proper time, when thev
jumped to the guns and fought ike
veterans. Yesterday one officer and
one man were killed and two were
wounded by enemy shell fire. One
American soldier was "gassed." The
Germans made gas attack also in
this sector. firing fifty projectiles Of
high percentage gas and twenty high
explosive shells. One American SOL
der is dead and eight are suffering
from the effects of poisonous gas, so
far as reported, but it is probable that
more casualties vii develop as in the
Toul sector.
There was an attack Monday, but
the number of casulties to the Ameri-

came engaged cannot be determined
All the killed and wounded in these
operations are from the New England
