World’s output of new tonage, in 1917, 2,703,- 355 tons. The net average monthly loss was 335,022 tons. Great Britain and America have just taken over a million tons of Dutch shipping. This ton- nage, at the 1917 average of loss, will last just about three months. The first year of American shipbuilding for.war purposes is expected to turn! out 4,000,000 tons, or, on a monthly average, just | about the amount of the average losses of 1917.

DEFENSE COUNCIL’S IDEA | | “Mobilize your bankers,” is the National Council of Defense’s suggestion to Secretary F. 0. Hellstrom, in response to resolutions recently wired Washington urging immediate war emergency re- lief for North Dakota farmers in straitened, circumstances.
