Washington, March 21.-Publica tion to-day o fl he long-held secret of ficial British admiralty figures show ing exactly the total of submarine losses up to January 1, and that, despite antl-submarlno measures, the undorsea boats are destroying ships twice as fast as the world's ship yards aro building them, promises to be the forerunner of some further official pronoun unen ts which will ii home * merica more strik ingjj (.ban evei before the need of the bri dito o? shifts to Prance. . Chairman Hailey, of the shipping board, posibly may make a state ment, but it is certain that in a speech he is to deliver in New York Tuesday he .will give some facts, which, taken in connection with the recent declarations of Slr Eric Ged des, first lord of the British admiral ty, and the official figures published liore to-day by the British embassy, will show the present ?hip construc tion situation as clearly as the Brit ish have shown the rate of destruc tion. Figures Not Expected. The British official figures publish ed so unexpectedly here to-day, when every one thought they would indefinitely be withheld because of the supposedly valuable Information thoy might give tho Germans,."were not without their note of comfort de-' ?pite the ringing warning they gave of tho need of rushing shipbuilding. Whilo theV show moro than 11, 000,000 tons/of ships destroyed since submarine warfare began, and only 6,000,000 tons of ships built to take their places, they show that the rate of submarine destruction steadily has decreased from the heights it reached when, early in 1917, Ger many announced a new and unre stricted campaign of ruthlessness and forced the United States into the war. Officials here regard the new British policy as a frank laying of all the cards on the tablo, so that the public might know exactly what it has to face and might place the blame for failure in the shipbuild ing program. The showing was not reassuring, but there was no pessim istic utterance which might be inter preted as an expectation that the U boat campaign would not bo defeat ed sooner or later.

The result was a bare 58, 000 tons of shipping produced in England In January and 100,000 tons in February, both rejonths far short of the amount necessary if the program' of 1,800,000 tons this year is to be carried out.

Tho' wooden yards also are adding substantially to the merchant marine. Admiralty Memorandum. Following ls the substance of the admiralty memorandum: . "Hitherto the 'board of admiralty have boen averse from any publica tion other than that contained in the weekly return of losses, although lt has frequently been pressed upon them that the whole tonnage facts should be made public. So long as publication would encourage tho enemy and would stimulate his ener gies In a dangerous direction, they have not been able to concur In the proposal. "The figures io-day will not stimu late the enemy, and the admiralty recognizes that the policy of silence, necessary as they believe it to hove been from a naval point of view, has had this serious defect, that it fails sufficiently' to Impress upon the peo ple of this country the vital necessity of individual and united effort on their part to make good the IOBSCS caused by enemy submarines. "In the Spring of 1917 the full menace of the submarine campaign wa? first disclosed. Since that date we have steadily increased our knowledge and our material re Bources-?for this novel warfare. "The situation should be viewed from the standpoint of the world's tonnage, ns In these problems the mercantile hayles of the whole world, excluding the enemy, may be regard ed as one, * Gaining Upper Hand. . "On the BUbject of losses the ad miralty .disclaim any desire to proph esy about so uncertain a thing ns war in Its submarine phase. The re sults of tho past year have shown the ability of our sea nf en to get upon terms with the submarine menace and gradually to ' gain tho 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. Our material resources for this warfare are already improv ed, and are being rapidly augmented, whilst science ls placing nt our dis posal means of offense and defense of which wo have been In need. Sub ject to this tochnicnl advice and to the warning that undue optimism IP fatal, the admiralty consider that the facts with regard to tonnage losses BPfcak for themselves. "With regard to the other factor tho production of .merchant tonnage -any ostimato for the futuro must d?pend wholly on tho determination of employers and men in tho ship yards and marine engineering estab lishments. Tho production, how ever, of morchant ships in the Uni ted Kingdom during January, 1918, oven making the most generous al lowance for weather conditions, fell BO far bolow that of each month In tho preceding quarter that If im proveiuent ls not speedily made, tho poinf v.-h?>re production balances losses will ht postponed to a danger ous extent, mid eyeu when that point ls reached we shall still have to make good the losses of the past during tho critical period that con fronts us. We must rely In the main on our own shipyards and on ourselves. "Our partners in the war are mak ing every effort to Increase their production of ships, but a considera ble tillie must olnpse before the de- j sired output ls secured to produce In the United Kingdom 1.800,000 tons in 101S, nu a to reach an ultimate production at tho rute of 3,000,000 per annum ls well within tho pres ent and prospective capacity of our shipyards and marine engineering shops; but the ranks of the skilled men inust^be enlarged without delay by the introduction of men and wo men at present unskilled." < 'atari hal Deafness Cannot Ile Cured by local applications, as they cannot roach the diseased portion of the ear.

HKIiD CONFERENCE WITH WIEK. After Which Farmer Asked Family to Witness His Suicide. Moultrie, Ga.. March 20.- After a conference jvith members of his fam ily, during which 'ie '.aid them that lt was his last night or. earth, and that he meant to kill himself, J. W. Merritt, one of the largest planters In Southwest Georgia, committed sui cide at his home, 12 miles from hero, Monday night by shooting himself through the head. Earlier In the evening, Merritt tel ephoned his wife and three sons, who reside here while school ls in session, to drive out, he wanted to talk to them on business. When his family arrived, Merritt stated that ho was tired of life, and that there was no use for any grief or demonstration of any kind, as he had fully made up his mind to "end lt all," and that during the few minutes which he hid to spare he wanted to go over his business affairs with them Mrs. Merritt and the children tried to reason with the despondent man, but he would hear none of it. After seeing that they were powerless to prevent the tragedy, Mrs. Merritt and two of tho sons left the room and wont into another part of the house, but one of the boys remained Mer ritt talked to him for'se^yeral min utes, advising him as to what dispo sition to make of certain matters, and then stopped abruptly, saying: "1 am through; you may go." The boy went. He had hardly closed the door bo fore he hoard a pistol shot; lt was followed quickly by another. With othor members of the family he went back Into his father's room. They found Merritt dead. He had gotton down on his kneos by his bed, and fired the shot that instantly ended his life. The body fell forward, tho head resting on the bed and the pis tol falling to the floor. It is presum ed that Merritt shot the first time to see if tho weapon was working well. Merritt owned several thousand acres of flue farm land worth more than $200,000. He Waa about 46 years.old.
