recognize that the policy of silence, as
they believe it to have been fron a

rious defect that it fails sufficiently
to impress upon the people of thi
country the vital necessity of indlvid
1 ual and united effort on their pa.l to
make good the losses caused by
enemy submarines.
, Menace First Disclosed.
"In the spring of 1917, the full
menace of the submarine campaign
was first disclosed. Since that date
we have steadily increased our knowl
edge and our material resource for
this novel warfare.
"Three statements are attached
showing for the Uni'.ed Kingdom and
for the world.
p. Losses by enemy action and
marine risk.
"2. Mercantile shipbuilding out

. Enemy vessels captured and
. brought into service.
"The situation should be viewed
from the standpoint of the world's
tonnage, as in these problems the
mercantile navies of the whole world,
excluding the enemy, may be regarded
as one.
'It will be noticed that the dia
grams record facts and that noth
ing has been included in the 'nature
of an' estimate. It would not be cor
rect to assumethat the losses by sub
marine will continue to decrease or
that the production of merchant ves
sels will continue to increase at the
same rate as shown in the last few
quarters, although a rapid and con
tinuous increase in the output of mer
chant tonnage will inevitably follow
the united efforts of all engaged in
merchant shipbuilding in this coun-'
try. - T . . . .
. "On the subject of losses the ad
miralty disclaim any desire to prp
phesy about so uncertain a, thing as
war in its submarine phase. The re
sults of the past year nave shown the
ability of our seamen, to get upon
terms with the submarine menace and
gradually to gain the upper hand. This
result has been achieved in spite of an
imperfect Knowledge of a new and
barbarous method of warfare and of
a scarcity of suitable material.
.Material Resources Improved. '
"Our material resource ' fo this
, warfare are already improved and are
being - rapidly augmented, 1 whilst
science is placing at our -disposal
means of offense and defense of wh'ch
we .have been indifferent, subject to
this technical advice, and to a warn
ing that undue optimism is fatal, the
admiralty insists that the facta with
regard to tonnage losses speak for
themselves.
"With regard to the other factor,
the production of merchant tonnage,
any estimate for the future must de
pend wholly on the determination of
the employers and men in the ship
yards and marine engineering estab
lishments. ,
"The production, However, of mert
chant ships in the United Kin;;UcrH
during January, 1918, even miking
the most generous allowance for
weather conditions, fell so far be!ow
that of each month in the preceding
quarter that if improvement is not
speedily made, the point wher pro
duction balances losses will be post
poned to a dangerous extent, and
even when that point is reached we

"If the Russian people w'il be

Washington. March 21. Although
it was indicated at the State depart

Francis acted without any specific in
structions from Washington in issu
ing his statement denouncing the Ger
man peace terms, his attitude has the
fullest approval here.
I he ambassadors assurance that
the United States will support any
Russian government that resists the
advance of the Germans expresses
this government's stand, but there is
reflected here little optimism.
i Reports that Trotzky is endeavor
ing to reorganize an armv to fight the
invaders and of activities of the Trans-
Caucasians served to arouse a slight
hope that there might yet be left in
me Russians a spirit ot resistance,
but this is tempered by other reports
indicating a determination by the
masses to accept their fate. ,

England Not Alarmed.
Mr. Bonar Law reminded the house
that he had given warning a week ago
that if such an attack occured the
attacking party would gain a certain
amount of ground, and the govern
ment's information so far did not lead
to the belief that anything beyond
that had happened.
"I am sure that with the knowledge
beforehand of what . has . happened
in similar attacks on cither side,"
continued Mr. Bonar Law, "the house
and county will not be unnecessarily
alarmed by information of that kind.
Our staff and the Versailles council
naturally have been considering what
might happen in the event of an
attack. And I may : tell the house
that this attack has been launched on
the very part of our line we were in
formed would be attacked, if an
attack were undertaken at all.
"I may say that only three days
ago we received information at the
cabinet from headquarters in France
that they had definitely arrived at
the conclusion that an attack would
be launched immediately and as they
were prepared to meet it the country
need have no cause for anxiety."

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair
" Girls if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring: use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it iri gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how-much
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails. Advertisement.

THE United States Government has urged
business men to relieve the freight situation
by employing motor trucks whenever possible,
that the railroads may move coal, food and emer
gency war materials. Every truck so employed is
doing a patriotic work of first importance.
Trucks cannot be operated efficiently and eco
nomically unless they exactly fit the conditions they
must meet even the best trucks made.
Pierce-Arrow trucks are sold to fit the individual
- businesses which they are to serve. To assure this
we maintain an efficient organization to study con
ditions and see that the trucks make good. We
f will not sell them otherwise. We seek to become
an increasingly important factor in the business of
bur customers. In these days of limited produc
tion our trucks are too valuable to us not to be
placed where they will create new business for us
all the time.
PIERCE-ARROW
Motor Trucks
,
The uses to which trucks may be put in the pre
sent transportation emergency are so various that
it is difficult to illustrate their application to
'both long distance and short hauling. We can "
only illustrate their adaptability by isolated ex
amples that don't begin to show their scope or
their ability to meet emergencies.

Report Many Cases
of Rheumatism Now

Says wo must keep feet dry;
avoid exposure and eat
less meat.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid
jxposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gen
erated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. It is the function of
the kidneys to filter this acid from
the blood and cast it out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly,' cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid, which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
tling in the joints and muscles, caus
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and ?i
beneficial to your kidnevs as well?
