Sir Ihic ursed Britons to do their utmost, as there were greater calls upon the shipping world. "The huge army of the United States." he said, "is preparing and has to be transported and maintained. The Flench. Italian and other allies require seaboard help. That help can only be given if the nation is prepared strictly and rigorously to curtail its needs, develop home resources and conserve its present potential maritime strength." It had been asked whether Great Britain was building merchant tonnage at a sufficient rate to replace the sinkings.

The answer, he declared, had been given negatively, but it was unsound and inconclusive to take any one factor of output as against losses to be a vital indication of Great Britain's situation. Britain, he said, now was equipped on a scale never dreamed of before. the country not justly take fctedit for the fact that in 1317, with our military and munitions effort at the maximum, and when the call upon man power has reduced our available resources to a minimum." he continued, "we shall have product naval and mercantile tonnage practilly equal to the best year ever record. in our history, and in lfI8 it will certainly be very much greater."

"As is known, we have had most i valuable consultation with Admiral Mayo, and on the occasion of his visit took counsel with him as to the role the American navy was to play. "We also took advantage of his visit to have an international naval conference, from which we hope much good may result." Defending the navy, the first lord reviewed its accomplishments in this war.

During a recent month," he continued, "the mileage steamed by our battleships, cruisers and destroyers alone amounted to l.nonjvfl ship miles in home waters.

Messages of suffrage indorsement have been received at the New York Stale Woman Suffrage party headquarters from David K. Houston, secretary of agriculture Franklin Lane, secretary of the interior; W. G. McAdoo. secretary of the treasury; 'William G.

Red field, secretary of commerce, and Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy. Ei-ctrpts from these messages follow Secretary Houston I am of the opinion that in the near future suffrage will be conferred on women by state action, and I can sec nothing to be gained by delay. The patriotism, self control and intelligent action of women in the present emergency lend additional support to the argument- ian front, while serious, is far from desperate. At the present moment, having; recovered from the first sur- prise, it may be stated that our allies are. preparing- to oppose a furious resistance to the enemy at the point which, without doubt.

General Cadorna has selected. It is probable that if the retreat should continue for a few days longer the Italian resistance will develop along; the Tagliamento, quite an. important fiver, which descends from the Cernia Alps, or perhaps if the Austro-Gerraans attack in Cernia it will be on the Pisve river, which flows westward. STRENGTH RETAINED. "Whatever the number of Italians taken prisoners.the strength of the army of General-Cadorna has not weakened.

It must not be forgotten, in fact, that Italy has under the colors more than men. As for the guns that the Austro-Germans claim to have captured, they only represent the production of a "few weeks of the munitions factories of cur lilies. "The Italian army is practically intact. Besides ths French and English are eominff to our rescue. It Ins already been announced that the Frer ministers were itusy determining the extent and nature of the co-jperation of the alhet of the Italian front.

This question was 'bither considered '3v the war which was held at ihe FJysee, M. Poincare presiding. The Lritish government has taken prompt measures to rush aid to the Italians, and all indiea ions are that this rench and British aid will come at the hour when the ensmy invades the plain of Freoule. "Meanwhile, awaiting developments. Italian public opinion realizes thoroughly the gravity of the hour and is bearing the shock with calmness snd firmness.

"The Italian tress declares that the battle which is about to take place maybe the last great battle of the va" ONE-HALF OF GERMANY'S SUBMARINES SUNK SINCE WAR BEGAN Cottfiiueri rom -Pri7? OtieJ been sunk, during the last quarter thej enemy has lost. as many submarines as during the whole of 191H. "As regards the sinkings of British merchant tonnage by submarines, tht German ofTicial figures for August are) SOS.000 tons of all nationalities. They sank a little, more than one-third of that amount of British tonnage and a little more than half of all nationalities, For September their official figures arOj tons. They sank far less than one-half that amount of all natiormU- tiea.

GERMAN CLAIM REFUTED. "Th Germans claim that our tonnage; is failing so low that there are not enough shij-s on the sea to enable the.r submarine commanders to maintain their bag. Let me give you facts. In April last, the heaviest month of Britr ish losses by enemy submarines since the war Vgan, our trade flowed presumably in satisfactory volume for the enemy submarine. In September last, his lowest month of sinkings, our overseas sailings of all ships of more than 1.6') tons were 20 per cent in number an-1 50 per cent in tonnage higher tha-ti in April.t The enemy must, therefore, another and better explanation for his lack of success.

1 can supply it. "The explanation is that the long arm of the British navy reached down into the depths, and thus the harvest reaped is poorer and the number of German submarines which do not return is increasing. April, the highest rnonlh for British losses, they have steadily decreased, ana latterly to a marked degree. September was the most satisfactory month October was only slight ly worse, and better by 30 per cent than any other month since submarine warfare began. The net redue-tioa in tonns-ge in the last four months is.

30 per cent less man aniuiim the estimate prepared for the cabinet early in July. LOSSES ONLY 14 PER CENT. 'The total net reduction since the beginning of the war from all causes in British tonnage on the official register in ships of more than 1,605 tons Is under tons gross, or 14 per cent, and that after a peiiod when our great ariies and their magnificent equipment received priority and the great growth of on- navy was simultaneously achieved, to tie detriment of mercantile shipbuilding. Now that the submarine is for the prvienl doing less damage and the resources of the country are again being devoted to a far greater and an increasing extent to the upbuilding of the mer-cartile marine. I look for net results nioie formidable.

on the other hand, the Get-mars are building submarines faster thai they have hitherto done md they not yet attained their maximum stsngth. It appears to me, therefore, tlur. in the submarine warfare, as rlrwheie, it is becoming a test of de-crmination and ingenuity tin two contending forces. 'For the present. I have come, to the cmclusion that the submarine war-fa Is going well for us.

The enemy done less damage than he hoped less than we estimated. He has dme it with a serious and heavy loss to mi self. At present, we may be jutifl'-d in feeling that his attack on oir trade is held and is being mas-tetd and we are justified in looking tohe future with courage and deter-miation. confident that he will fail."

SAX AN'TOXIO. Texas, Nov 1. Sixty-three Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were placed on courlinart.al trial here tdday on chaises of mutiny, murder and rioting in Houston on the nijjht of August 13.

The members of the regiment were on tuard duty at Camp Logan. Houston, at the time of the riot, during which 22 lives were lost. K. Snow testified that the Negroes became incensed at a report that Corporal Charles W. Baltimore, a Negro, had been killed in an altercation with Houston police.

The major said he had advised them that Baltimore had not been killed and also had warned them against any acts of resentment. Tiie major said his warning followed a visit to the chief of police, who told him Baltimore had been arrested with a Negro woman and had been roughly handled but not shot. "1 told them they were slicking their necks in ropes." the major added, "and to put their suns down." Twenty or "0 of the Negroes had guns pointed at him. Major Snow said, and sepmg he could do nothing he dodged between some tents. I pwards of 1W soldiers left camp, headed for Houston, the major testi- f.ed.

The major told of his unsuccessful efforts to telephone the police, of start- iiiio i ins for Houston and meeting two policemen whom he told of the trouble, of later encountering a body of armed civilians, whom he advised not to let the Negroes return to camp.
