SERBIAN MINISTER SURE
OF VICTORY FOR ALLIES

Confidence in the ability of the allies
to secure a victory over the central
powers was expressed by the minister
of foreign affairs of Serbia in his New
Year greeting to the State Department.
The message follows:
II hasten to take the occasion of the
New Year to tender to your excellency,
in the name of the royal government of
Serbia and in my own name, our best
wishes in the firm conviction that it
will bring us final victory over the
common foe. I doubt not that it will
open new era which will insure the
reign of justice. equality and liberty to
all peoples, great and small, as a last
ing and prosperous peace in which
mankind will find guarantees for a new
future of free development of all its
Intellectual and economic forces.

Foreign Minister"

Increase in British Ship Losses for

However.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January eighteen Brit
fish merchantmen of 1000 tons or more
have been sunk by mine or submarine
during the past week. according to the
admiralty statement last night. Three
merchantmen less than 1000 tons were
also sunk. This is a material increase
over the previous week. when the sink
ings numbered twelve, of which eleven
were more than 1000 tons. The sum-
mary:

Total Deemed Satisfactory.
Although the sinkings Of ships of
large tonnage in the past week have
been rather heavy, the total for De-
cember Is characterised as satisfactory,
being only slightly larger than for No
vember, which established low record.
The tonnage sunk during December
was well below that of any month
previous to September. Against this.
however, the sinkings Of submarines
were greater in December than In any
previous month since the war began.
Naval men declare that more sub
marines were sunk in December than
the German shipyards were able to
launch, So the German submarine navy
may now be said to have begun actual

hope to accelerate rapidly with the In

DEATH OF MRS. HAWKS,
FAMOUS HYMN WRITER
Author of IT Need Thee Every
Hour" Last Of Religious Com
posers of Past Half Century.

BENNINGTON. VT, January 3.-Mrs.
Annie Sherwood Hawks. author of many
famous gospel hymns. including i
Need Thee Every Hous," died at her
home here today at the age of eighty
three.
With the death of the celebrated Fan
ny Crosby some time ago, Mrs. Hawks
was lef, as perhaps the last Of the
noted writer's of the gospel hymns of
the past half century.
From her fourteenth year. when her
first bit of verse was published in a
newspaper in Troy. n. Y, she devoted
large part of her long life to the pro-
auction of poems and hymns OF her
hymns which come into common use. the
best known is Il Need Thee Every
Hour" which is said to have been trans
lated into more foreign languages than
any other modern hymn
Mrs Hawks was born in Hoosick. n. Y,
in 1885. After her marriage to Charles
HAL Hawks. member of New York
banking firm, she lived in Brooklyn
Since then she had made her home with
her daughter in Bennington.
First Hymns Written in 1855.
Her first hymns were written in 1858,
at the suggestion of her pastor, DR..
Robert Lowry. who set several of them
to music.
Not long before her death Mrs. Hawks
thus described the writing of her most
famous hymn:
II remember well the morning. many
years ago. when. in the midst of the
daily cares of my home, 1 was SO filled
with a sense of nearness to the Master
that, wondering how one could live
without Him either in joy or pain. these
words, Need Thee Every Hour were
flashed into my mind. Seating myself
by the open window in the balmy air
of the bright June day, I caught my
pencil. and the words were soon COM
mitted to paper, almost as they are
being sung now.
1T was only by accident. as it would
seem, that they were set to music a
few months later and sung for the first
time at a Sunday school convention held
in one of the large western cities. From
there they were taken furth sr west and
sung by thousands of voices before the
echo came back to me-"
Among other hymns of which she was
the author are THE Cross for Jesus, .
Good Night" why Weepest Thou"
Who'll Be the Next to Follow Jesus"
and TN the Valley

Submarines Less Effective.

Reports of encounters with subma-
rfnes in the past three months indicate
that whatever improvements have been
made In the U-boats. they arc not near
ly SO efficient or deadly as they were
earlier In the year. This is due partly
to the lower standard of their torpedoes
and also to deterioration in the quality
OF their crews. In "U-boatsng" as in
aviation experienced men are ire
placable and novices stand a poor
chance.
The American naval men have learned
to identify the German U-boat veteran
merely by the character of his opera
ton. and can tell when the novice
comes on their beat by the alnateurish-
ness of his methods. Some Of the Ger
man veterans, like the commander
whom the Americans have Iicknamed
Kelly" are foemen worthy of the
navy mems best efforts, but the U-boat
novices fall into the net easily and
their chances of escape are small.
Mine laying submarines continue very
active. and figures given the Associat-
ed Press show that last year more than
1000 German mines were swept up in
British waters alone. The lane
through which the American destroy
ers enter and leave their base is a ia
vorite spot for German mine layers.
and sweepers are kept constantly at
work there.

cember than In November. The sink
ings In the past month occurred main
~ In two areas. Owing to the severe
weather the submarines have been COM
pelled to concentrate and work closer
TO shore. This, perhaps. accounts for
the large number of submarines caught.
One Of these was rammed in the most
casual manner by. slow-goinE coastal
steamer almost within gunsfot Of land.
Americans already have been told of
the success Of an American liners gun

Will not be recognized by the admiralty

Owing to our work of the past year
