SHIP CONSTRUCTION IN
U. S. EXCEEDS LOSSES
German Naval Minister Says Eng
lands Losses Are Much Greater
Than Number of New Craft

Washington. April 20.-Ship con-
struction in this country has exceeded
many fold American losses by subma-
rines since the United States entered
the war, shipping board officials said
in discussing the statement of the Ger
man minister of the navy, Vice Adj
miral Won Capelle. before the main
committee of the reichstag, that u
boat sinkings were thrice or skiold
the tonnage of new British construc-
ton. 1t was pointed out that he made
no such claim with respect to Ameri-
can shipping which has suffered the
loss of only three or four vessels since
war was declared.
1t was said that not more than
40 merchant ships flying the American
flag had been lost from all causes
since the war began nearly four years
ago.

ENGLISH HOUSE COMMONS
PASSES MAN POWER BILL
CONSUMPTION Applies Equally to Ire
land, but. Government Prom
Uses Home Rule Soon.

London, April 17-By a majirity of
1913 the house of commons has adopt
ed the third reading of the government
man power bill after an exciting de-
bate, originated by John Dillon, ma
tionalist leader. Mr.. Dillon again
strongly attacked the government pol
icy and moved omission of the clause
applying CONSUMPTION to Ireland.
The nationalist members again show
ed themselves unrelentingly opposed
to conscription, while Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulster leader, also made an
attack on government methods.
The most important speeches of the
debate We're those by George Nicoll
Barnes, labor member of the war cab
met without portfolio, and Premier
Lloyd George.
Mr. Barnes, probably as a result of
the conference of the labor ministers
with the premier on Monday. was able
to answer that the government would
introduce a home rule
bill and would use the greatest influ-
ence to pass it, or fail in the attempt.

GERMAN INTENTION WAS TO
ANNIHlLATE BRITISH ARMY

London, April Recommending on
the recent British reverses on the west
battle front in France, a returned of
fetal says: 1.-THE facts may seem
somewhat grim in the reading but
they have their brighter side The
Germans have won new ground at a
great cost of life and there is no di-
minuition in that magnificent spirit
which has been holding against the
enemy invasion since April 8.
mo more gallant defense has been
recorded since the war began than that
now going on and while further sacri-
fices are expected and even further
loss of ground, no doubt exists on the
British front that ultimately the allies
will come into their own when the Ger
man side has spent its fury.
at must not be forgotten that thus
far virtually the whole weight of the
terrific German offensive has been d.
rected at the humiliation of the Brit
ish army. The first great blow was
aimed at the British and was contin-
ued until, with the assistance of the
gallant French allies, the German on
slaught was checked"

ECONOMIC SITUATION IN

Washington, April 1.-THE econom-

to buy even the ration of 200 grammes

them. The burgomaster of Vienna de-
clared to the municipal council that
the sanitary service estimated at s.
per cent the food deficit in the capital.
At Prague the situation is still worse.

SECRETARY BAKER
BACK FROM FRANCE
ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON AND
ENTERS INTO CONFERENCE
WITH HIS CHIEF AIDES.
HAS VERY LITTLE TO SAY
War Secretary Is Proud of Achieve.
n1ents of United States and Allied
Troops Abroad and Glad
That He Made Trip.

Washington, April II. - Secretary
Baker. back from his trip to Europe
has arrived in Washington. Immedi
ately upon his arrival he arranged fol-
a conference at the war department
with his chief aides.
Steeled to the work ahead of him by
personal knowledge of conditions at
the battle fronts i'm Europe, Secretary
Baker returns from his trip abroad
prepared to concentrate every energy
on expediting the movement of Ameri-
can fighting men to France.
The war secretary, it is understood,
is not inclined to underestimate the
peril that further German successes
in the present terrific onslaught
against the allied lines might involve.
There is no doubt, however, that he
believes adequate measures to check
mate the German effort will come out
of the pooling of all allied and Ameri-
can resources under the command of
General FOch. the impressive French
commander in chief.
Mr.. Baker had little to say for pub
LEGATION. On his arrival at an Atlantic
port he authorized this statement:
81 return with a sense of pride and
at the achievements of the
United States and allied troops
abroad that would justify many trips
across the water"
Whatever direct information the war
secretary may have as to the plans of
General Foch will be for the ear of
President Wilson alone.
