BRITISH RENEW
EFFORT TO POOL
GERMAN SHIPS
Success of Plan Would Rob U..
S. of German Liners In
terned Here Before War
Was Declared. ,
Paris, May 14. Renewed efforts
are being made by the British dele
gation to secure an agreement call
ing for the pooling of former Ger
man merchant vessels and their dis
tribution on a basis of tonnage loss
during the war instead of the plan
of the United States retaining those
ships interned in America prior to
that country entering the war.
Washington, Miy-f.H. Officials
here do not believe that renewed ef
forts by the British government to
secure an agreement calling for the
pooling of former" German merchant
vessels will be successful, Opposi
tion by the United States when the
proposal first was advanced defeat
ed the British plan in the supreme
economic council, the decisions of
which must be unanimous to be
binding, and it was. said here today
that there. was no reason to believe
President Wilson had . changed his
mind on the subject. " .
Would Reduce Tonnage.
The United, States has 654,000
tons of German shipping, including
some of the finest and largest of
the former German line.s. Approxi
mately 350.000 tons of American
shipping was lost in the submarine
warfare and the difference probably
will be retained by the United
States and paid for in the final set
tlement of this country's claims
against Germany. u'
London, May 14. (Via Mon
treal.) The ministry of shipping
announced today that the number
and tonnage' of allied merchantmen
lost through enemy activity in the
war were as follows:
Great Britain, 2,197 ships; 7,638,
000 tons. .
France, 238 ships; 697.000 tons.
Italy, ,230 ships; 742,000 tons.
Japan, 29 ships; 120,000 tons.
United States, 80 sl.ips; '341,000
tons. ; "- '
In-addition to the British ships
above 20 British vessels, aggregat
ing 95,000 tons, were lost on ad
miralty service.
Navy Will Exercise
; War Legislation to
Secure Ship Steel
Washington, May 14. The Navy
department has decided tb exercise
its authority under war emergency
legislation and requisition steel for
battleship construction. The price
to be paid will be fixed later, on a
basis of market conditions and quo
tations rather than on an examina
tion of the steel makers' books.
. This course -was determined upon,
at a conterence today between Aci-
irig Secretary Roosevelt and officials
of the department at which bids sub
mitted yesterday for 14,000 tons of
structured steel were considered.
The bids virtually" were duplicates
of those previously submitted, which
were rejected aa, showing.that there
had been no open competition.
The fact that two of the four bat-
" tleships for which the steel is need
ed are authorized under a provision
that actual construction work must
start prior to July 1, 1919, prompted
the department to resort to emer
gency powers to obtain the neces
sary steel. r '
No decision had been reached as
to what companies will be called
upon to deliver the steel.
Allies Do Not Plan Attack
On Petrograd Says Law
London, May 14. i Questioned
yesterday in the House of Commons
regarding the Stockholm report
that the entente powers are prepar
ing for naval and military opera
tions against Petrograd, Andrew
Bonar Law, government leader, said
a British squadron had been at Hel
singfors for, a lon$ time to meet
whatever emergencies might arise
but "no definite proposal of the
kind suggested is contemplated at
this moment"

Private Burton M. Baker, Machine Gun Company, 168th Inf., 4id Division.
Private Baker began his fighting career on the Lorraine front near
Badonviller on the 5th of March, 1918. His battalion was in trenches for
the first time. The enemy attacked in great strength after heavy artil
lery preparation. x Most of his comrades in hifcjinit were killed or wounded,
and the oncoming boches far outnumbered the small group of Americans.
Just then Private Baker, by his disregard of personal danger, showed
such a dashing example to his remaining fellows that they collected around
him and the boche attack was repelled. This won for Baker the Croix de
Guerre. - (Copyright, 1919.)
