British Admiralty Claims Wholesale Sinkings by
 Germans Is False SUPPLY LINE BEING
 ATTACKED, HOWEVER DNB Asserts Two large Troopships Sent Down
 or Set Afire, Convoy
CBy ASSOCIATED PREss)

Hitler's violent new sea offensive, as reported by the German High Command, has sunk 253,000 tons in the drive on the British supply lines.
 The London Naval spokesman quickly asserted that nothing ex- traordinary" has occurred
 The Nazi command claims that many of the vessels sunk averaged from 5000 to 10000 tons
 The German News Agency DINE also claims that Nazi warplanes sunk a troopship of 5000 to 5,000-ton ca- pacity and set fire to another large troopship The attack was on a British convoy in the Mediterranean.
 In denying the claim made yes- terday by Hitler himself that 2l5,- GOO tons of British shipping have been sunk by the Germans in two days, the British Admiralty credits the Nazi U-boats with sinking only POS 900 tons during the past eight days and this in all zones.
 The Admiralty denies any war ships have been sunk.

Gov.
 Of Maryland
 Is Stricken
Harry w. Nice Suffers Heart AtfdCk-Dies Sud-
 denly This Afternoon

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 25.--For- mer Gov. Harry w. Nice, of Mary land, died here suddenly this af- ternoon as the result of an attack of the heart.
 Nice, one of the few Republicans ever to become Governor of Mary land, won national notice by his convincing victory in the 1884 state election over Albert c. Ritchie. who had been a Democratic presidential possibility.
 Nice won by only 60D0 votes, but this was enough to cause him to be hailed as enc of the Republican white hopes at time when the political outlook of the party was not bright. His advocates held that if he could defeat Ritchie in Mary land, normally Democratic state, at such a time, he merited nation al consideration.
 Fee of New Deal
 Nice in turn soon was mentioned as a presidential possibility He took his place among the vigorous supporters of the constitution and developed into an implacable foe of new deal" policies of the na- tional Democratic administration.
 Some saw this stand as depar- ture from the platform on which he had ridden to the governorshlp The state platform, charging Coy ernor Ritchie with failure and unwillingness' to cooperate with the President in national recovery efforts, bound Nice and the other Republican candidates to place nc obstacles in the way of moves to afford relief to stricken people and avert further economic ruin"

Attorney General, as big boss of FBI and the Federal Prosecutors. would be concerned with ade- quate counsel for accused persons, but he says it's progressive legis- lation.
 '"The present practice of hay- ing indigent defendants repre- sented by assigned attorneys act ing without pay is frequently un- just to the defendant and unfair to members of the bar, and oc- casionally results in inadequate pre- sentation of the defendants rights, he says.

MISSING BOTTOMS

A few days ago the United States Lines announced that their Panam- anian subsidiary was selling five small slow, 20-year-old freighters to England for the purpose of car rying war supplies. To insiders, this graphically illustrated the desperate predicament of British shipping
 The problem is particularly acute in the transport of planes-Which these five ships were especlally chartered to carry. Officials are not shouting it from the housetops, but the grimmest difficulty facing Brit ain today is not getting warplanes made in the U. S., but getting them into the hands of the heroic RAF in the face of heavy Nazi raids on British shipping.
 Britain now has on order approxl- mately 16.O0O planes, with another l2,O00 contemplated, chiefly medium and heavy bombers. Of the l6,00O ordered. only around 2,000 actually have left the U. S. borders-and not all of them have reached England Many (the exact number is an of- ficial secret) are still in Canada awaiting shipment.
 Which adds up to this. If Brit ain is to get the 14O00 planes re- maining on order by July, 1922, as the schedule calls for, the minimum export during the next IT months
