Announcement nf the sinking of fifty five more ships by (leruian submarines led to pessimistic criticism of the shipping sit uation by many newpapers today "If fuller details were furnished the case would be found still worse," said the Times In commenting upon the reticence of tho Admiralty. It added: "We see no good, but on the contrary much harm in trying to shirk or minimize the facts." The Dally Mall calls the situation "veiy grave" and continues: "The shipping losses are felt more and more sorrcly as they continue Just as the GERMANS NOW REGRET FAILURE TO TELL WAR AIMS AS WILSON ASKED THE HAUCE, April if,.

BRITISH WASHINGTON. Apill 2G. Two vastly different types of men are driving the Germans back on the Hinden burg line. That wns evident today as the military members of the French and British missions to this country mingled In hotels and In conference looms. Sharp contrast Is drawn between the soldiers nf England nnd the soldiers of France. While the English military man .is tall, erect and bronzed by exposure to the air. his French fellow soldier. Is inclined to he somewhat pale and colorless and wears upon his face the signs of the horrible ex perience he Is going through. The I'ligllsli leader Is assertive In his manner and not altogether mild. Tho French soldier Is rather retiring, almost shy and In every Instance a splendid gentleman. The greatest dlfferencb may be seen be tween the Tommies nnd the pollus who are the orderlies to tho military men. The Tommy Is a Jiunty, undaunted chap. Irrepressible In his spirit. The French pollu appears worn nnd haggard and seems to he always deep In thought nnd carrying great burdens upon his shoulders. But far out above all of the rest of the military leaders gathered here stands the picturesque figure of Marshal Joffre, tho hero of tho Marne. Americans have failed to grasp Marshal .lotTre hecauso their acquaintance with him hitherto has been through the "movies," where he has generally been shown In the uct of kiss ng a soldier while bestowing a medal or honor. This has caused wonder ment In the American mind, but toa,ty they know that Joffre Is it man's sized man. There Is something solid ribout Marshal Joffre, Heavy set nnd not exactly esthetic In tho lines of his figure, still he commands a gie.it respect, It Is his face, that beams und continually smiles nnd two gray eyes that shoot forth kindness, that attract one to Joffre. One has but to look Into his kindly eyes to realize why he haB been called by tho French, Grand Tere Joffre.

It was also a mistake, as it lias since been proved, that President Wilson's direct question concerning our war alms was evasively answered by the statement that they would be com munlcated the moment we Mintihl be seated at the green table with the representatives of the Entente. to apply to me or to any nf my olll clal nets, or In any way to be used as a shield against criticism.

"IT WAS HOIIKIHI.E" Mr. Margolls said : .Shortly after mum today Mr Apple seemed In such a pitiable condition that my hrother-ln-law- couldn't stand It any longer and offered to go out with him and searcli for tho boy. They de cided to visit all the empty houses In' the neighborhood and see If It wasn't possible for Mich to he in one of them ; tho police, It seems, hadn't thought of that.

Mr. Apple hurriedly had him taken to the hospital where ho Is now ASSAIL POLICE Mr. Maigolls said tho vy the police had worked on the case was shameful. They loafed mound hero nnd at the hoy's home for these two days and didn't accomplish a tnlng. Tlie father and my brother-in-law went out In less than an hour found Hie hoy. A few hours later and he would haie died. Even If the police had been merly stupid It would hae been bad enough. Hut their whole attitude was disgrace ful They seemed to take the task of, finding this little chap ns a Joke, nnd Just loafed away on the Job, I'm sur. they never would have found him of their own accord. And yet to hear them tell It now you ould think they had done all tho worg. Tho fact Is they are no more responsible for find ing rCIIch than nro people wiio never heard of him. Last nlgiil they called around nt Mr. Apple's house und told him they hnd been looking in all klniU nf houses for the boj nnd showed hlni the keys they said they used. Thev certainly couldn't har, looked very hard : the hoy was found by his father without any keys and In the fourth house they looked Into. The police ought to bo taken to task for this.

Phlladelphlatis this year will pay Into the City Tleasury neaily JS.BOli.yim. This heavy drain on citizens of moderate cir cumstances Is continued because nf the city ndmlnlstintloii's lefusal to allow an eighty cent gas rate (imposed by Samuel T. Ho tline, of the I'nlted (las Improvement Com pany. Record sales of gas lepoited for the llrst three months of the year prove that more and mole householdeis are turning to gas for lellef fiom heavy coal bills, mid that consequently mine citizens than exer before are unwilling contributors to this Indirect revenue source. Has stoves are rapidly replacing old-time coal ranges, while gas for lighting and other purposes Is in moie general use than evei befoie In several hundred thousand modest households of tho city. Statistics show jtliaf the humble wage earner is a great consumer of gas, thus proving that the greater portion of tlie revenue received from gas sales comes from those .east able to alToid the luxury nf paying the city twenty cents for each 100U feet of gns they consume. Kor gas sales during January, Kebruary ami March the cltv lecclves as Its sharo at the $1 late a total of $591. 301. Naturally the returns from whiter months are heaviest, but the more gencial use nf gas for cooking, washing, etc.. during the heutcd months Is counted on lo prevent any material falling off In this high record. Dur ing IDir. the city received $2,014, 3110.77 as Its share of tho sale of gas, while the rev enues of the company which leases the city plant exceeded $8,000,000, or more than $1,1100,000 In excess of the sum received In the preceding twelve mouths. The revenues of the I'nlted (las Com pany have Increased by leaps and bounds to a point where officers of the company are more than willing that the city should abandon its Indirect tax collections, thus allowing all pations nn eighty-cent rate. At the same time the company has never made an offer to reduce Its shale of Income In the slightest degree. Not only have the city llnancleis no Idea of permitting an 80-cent gas rate, but they look with longing eyes to 11118. when (he revenues from gas will automatically Jump five cents on every 1000 cubic feet of gas sold, thus Increasing the anticipated $2,500,000 revenue of this year to more than $3,000,000. In 1!16 more than 100,000,000 cubic feet of gas was sold or paid for. This year tills figure will be exceeded and next year, with the.twcnty-flve-cent rebate the city will receive under the lease, the size of revenue from gas is little more than a mathematical calculation, certain to ma terialize. That tho Culled !as Improvement Com pany will lose nothing In the long run by surrendering twenty-live Instead of twenty cents to the city for each 1000 feet of gas sold In 1318 nnd succeeding years, Is proved hy the manner In which the company In the past has caught up with Its revenue after ptevlous reductions of five cents. When the city's share was Increased from ten to fifteen cents the company caught un and passed Its lecelpts In the fourth year. The same was true when tho city's share was Increased to twenty cents.
