 "The enemy made some progress at certain points. At others his troops have been thrown back by our count er-attacks."
 Our losses inevitably have been considerable, but they have not been out of proportion to the magnitude of the battle.
 Prom reports received from all parts of the battle front the enemy's losses continue to be very heavy, and at great sacrifice.
 Our troops are fighting with the greatest gallantry. When all ranks and all units of every arm behave so well it is difficult, at tbis stage of the battle, to distinguish instances.
 Exceptional galIantry was shown, however, by the troops of the 24th Division in protracted defense at Leverguier, and by the Third Division, who maintained our positions in the neighborhood of Croieilies and to the north of the village aseinsf repeated attacks.
 "A very galiaht neht Nsas made by the 51st Division in t'ie neighborhood of the Bapaume azn kzai road against repeated attack.

A NEW PROBLEM FOR
 THE SHIPPING BOARD
Caused by Americas Fast Growing
 Merchant Marine.

Washington. March 22.-Amersca' s fast growing merchant marine has de- veloped new problem for the ship ping board-improvem of bunkering facilities so that cargo carriers may not waste valuable days in waiting for fuel before beginning a voyage.
 Chairman Hurley announced today that the shipping board was under taking in conjunction with other branches of the government a survey of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific ports to see how the coaling arrangements can be enlarged and improved. Pres ent facilities, which are taxed with the volume of business now in hand, must be doubled at least to expedite the movement of ships,which will in- crease two and perhaps three times according to existing plans. Oppor- tunities for taking on fuel oil also must be enlarged, as 35 per cent. of the new ships will be oil burners. Many ships that formerly were bunkered in England for round trips across the ocean are beginning the practice of taking coal only for the outward voyage and re -coaling here 1 for the return, adding to the demands on port facilities.
 | Runkering arrangements in the east will be improved to the greatest prac- tieabIe extent but as easter nports already have almost all the business they can handle, officials believe the greatest relief to be afforded will be in sending new ships to other ports on the south Atlantic, gulf and Pacific coast ports. They say trade with
 South and Central America, for in stance, will be expedited if handled from ports farther south than New York, which is the natural origin for European shipments.
 Mobile is regarded as a port offer ing large opportunities for develop lment, comparatively close to Latin American countries, and with the lWarrior river and tributaries avail able for obtaining cheap coal from tne
 Alabaam mines The possibilities o1 all ports will be investigated, as al probably will be utilized.
 The railroad administration is being asked to cooperate in the survey oi
 ports, so that access to plentiful coa supplies may be secured. The navy department also is interested.
