SHIPPING BOARD BARES FIGURES

SENATORS ASK

Shows that 1 85 Vessels Have

Been Launched with 103

Now in Service.

WASHINGTON. March 28. Exact

figures on the progress of shipbuilding

in the United States were made public last night by the shipping board as a result of debate in the Senate, during Which officials said statements bad

been made based on Inaccurate Infor

mation.

Since the shipping board began its work 188 vessels have been launched,

of which 103 have been completed and

put into service. The launchings were divided between 165 requlstloned vessels and twenty-three which were built

on contract for the shipping board in yards that were constructed for the purpose or which had only Just been put into operation. Eleven of the launchings were wood, all the remainder being steel. Twelve contract steel vessels have been launched and three of them completed. Three of 8,800 tons were launched at Los Angeles, two of 9,400 , tons at Oakland, four of 8,800 tons at Seattle, one of 11,700 tons at San Francisco and two of 3,500 tons at a Great Lakes port. It was pointed out that when the shipbuilding appropriation became available last June all the ways in the United States were filled with ships building for private or foreign account. These were taken over under international law.

LICHNOVSKY

Continued From Page One. '"This hint was not gi.en; on the contrary we pressed forward. Sir Edward besought Germany to make a proposal of her own; we insisted upon war;' The Russian foreign minister made urgent appeals and definite declarations and later the Russian emperor Bent positively humble telegrams in vain. Berlin went on insisting that Serbia must be massacred.' Changes His Course "At last Count Brchto!d himself

wavered. He had hitherto stayed the

strong man on Instructions from Ber

lin, and he decided to change bis

course. Then Germany cut short all hopes of peace by herself declaring

war.

"Prince Lichnowsky speaks of the

pernay or the policy he was used to

cloak but it is not chiefly upon sentimental or even upon moral grounds

that be condemned the German system. It is the folly rather than the

wickedness of German statecrafts which he rtprobates. It Is quite un

necessary, he insists, of Germany to trouble herself about Austria. Austria Hungary might have been turned into

a vassal of the German empire without an alliance at all. Germany could always keep her in tow by cultivating good relations with Russia. "But Prussian militarists were bent upon war which was essential to their own crass interests."

LINE HOLDS

Continued From Page One. more than two days, the British also have repulsed strong enemy efforts at other points. On the southern flank, the French have held the German advance west of Noyon. At Lassigny. northwest of Noyon, after heavy fighting, the French have retired slightly toward Montdldier, being overwhelmed by superior numbers. German Lost Heavy The notes of pessimism in the published statements of German leaders, since they failed to break through and roll up.one side of the British line are added to by the recent German official statement, the latest one of which says that the German attack is "slowly progressing." The German casualties are estimated to be between 300.000 and 500,000 and it is reported that long hospital trains are pouring into Belgium and Germany over all available railroad lines. With the allied line holding against the enemy onslaughts, a counter blow may be in preparation. Premier Clemenceau has declared that the moment is near when the allied reserve force will be thrown into the fighting. "He added that the Germans would not be able to keep the gains they have made at such heavy losses. On sea as well as on land, the German offensive last week was much stronger. Enemy submarines and

mines accounted for twentv-eieht Brit

ish Bhips, sixteen of more than 1,600

tons. Tne total is greater than that for any week since last Sept. 16. In the present week seventeen steamers including eleven of the larger tonnace

were sunk. French and Italian losses

also increased somewhat, and the aggregate for these three merchant mar. ines was thirty-seven.

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE

GUESSWORK

It has been said that the practice

of medicine at best is simply a game of guesswork, because - the action of drugs varies to a great degree upon different individuals; but when a medi

cine has lived for forty years, con

stantly growing in sales and popularity there can be no greater proof of its

merit. Such a medicine is Lydia E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that

famous old root and herb remedy, now

recognized from shore to shore as the

standard remedy for female ills. Adv,

Triangle's thrilling play, "The Sea Panther," at the Murray today, takes place in 1680. To obtain the correct costuming , of that period rare, colored prints were secured at great cost and effort.
