ONLY 9_RER CENT. .Submarines Have sunk Less Than 3,000,000 Tons. London, Feb. 3.â€"-The German news- papers claim that in the first year of the unrestricted submarine warfare 9,000,000 tons of allied and negtral shipping w‘ere sunk, and that only {4,000,000 tons have been built to 'offâ€" set this. V As showing how unreliable is the information which the GET-man author- ities give out, the Associated Press is authorized to state that the claim put forward exaggerates the actual ton- nage lost_by more than 50 per cent. The total'net loss of world’s ocean- going tonnage since the outbreak of the war, including the losses by marine risk as Well as by enemy ac- tion, and allowing for enemy tonnage captured, amounts to less than 3,000,- 000 tons, or, roughly. nine per cent. of ,the tonnage available at the outbreak lot the war. _ __..."oâ€"â€"~_.â€"-â€"- 00,000,000 RUAIANIAN 1 GOLD 31912151) BY BOLSHEVIKI The Hague, Feb. 3.â€"â€"â€"The Vienna Neue Frei Presse reports that the amount of gold belonging to Rumania that was seized by the Bolsheviki was valued at 500,000,000 francs.

With the American Army in France, Feb. 3.â€"A German barrage fire at sundown last night opened the heaviest bombardment of many days along the American sector in Lorraine, the Amâ€" erican artillery replying shell for shell ‘ as the firing of the heavy guns spread along several kilometres of front. " Tw0 Americans were killed and nine wounded during the bombardment and one suffered shell shock; _ It was ascertained today that the American gunners wrecked several of the enemy dugouts, and so badly damaged the first line positions that at one point the Germans were unable to occupy them Sunday. When the bombardment had reached its greatest intensity the Germans suddenly concentrated their fire at twc points, throwing about 250 shells into a town in which the headquarters of a certain regiment are located, and which heretofore had been immune to enemy fire. . Early in the day an American was wounded by a sniper.

The fabric is utilized for clothing of almost every description, but espe- cially for underwear. The uSe oi garments made from this stuff is quite extensive in Germany, accord- ing to the information of the bureau but it is not allowed to be exported Complete costumes for women are made of it. .ERITISN AIRNEN BOMBARDED VILLAGES lN THE MOSELLE VALLEY 5.257 Pounds of Bo mbs Dropped on Trains and Buildings in the German Districts Visited. l A despatch from London says: The' in an elaboration of the‘ bombing raid, into Gerâ€" ofi‘icial report of the rected on searchlights, trains. moving Ill'i each of the districts visited. and also into villages in the )loselie \‘al- 7 i)- 0.-.?
