First Lord of the Admiralty, for a lenrthy speech In which be summed up the naval situa tion during the past year. 'On the whole, naval warfare dur Ina the past year baa proceeded In. rreasinsty la our favor. said Sir Eric. "There have been occasional Interludes, sach as the tl.t of the Uoeben and the Hres.au tfrom the Dardanelles) and the recent raid by enemy destroyers on a Dover patrol. "The tioeben was refloated, and while reports Justify the belief thai she was daraassd. we must for the present treat r as a still efficient enjrina of war.

"The Dover raid Is In a way a sat isfactory Incident. It has been com monly believed that the passage of s ibmarines through the Strairs of Derrer has been prevented by neta and obstructions since the early days of trie war. That Is not true, and un doubtedly n considerable number of submarines passed through, even to wsrds the end of last year. Stricter Poltey F.af erred. "A more vigorous policy waa adopted recently, and the surface barrier I now aaalntatned day and night across Ike channel.

'r Erie alluded to tbe fact that the waters around the British Isles had been the enemy's chief field for sub marine operations and that wltb Amer lean help the greatest successes agains lhe submarine bad been obtained In those water. lie stafd. however, that J per rent of th losses of the merchant ships was accounted for by the Medlterra nean and that conditions there bad been more difficult 10 meet, th r sources having been les adequate. He then told of the allied naval confer ence at Home. -It agreed that we should forthwith adopt and adapt to the Mediterranean 'he same measures which have riven su.-cess In the waters of the flrfttsh Isles snd the main operations decided on will be undertaken under Vice Admiral Calthorpe'a orders." he said, tnerteaa Hetp A ppredaled. Touching upon the relations with the allies and remarking that the ratal forces n European waters would snortlr be augmented br a force of Brazilian war Ttjel, th first lord continued: "It Is perhaps natural that the co opers! ion between ourselves and the I'nlied States should be extremely close. -We have the advantage of constant consultations with Admiral Sims, who attends our dally staff conferences. We have American officera working; In various sections of the British Ad miralty on exactly the same footing as Hritish officers. The co-operation bee twern the two natlona la as nearly complete as possible. Turning to tbe mercantile losses. Sir Erie said: The loss for the five months ended In February Is 19 per cent less than th- loss In the corresponding months the year previous, although during four months of the latter period un-j restricted submarine warfare) had not been proclaimed by the enemy. "If during the paat five months the rate of loss had been maintained at the same rate as for the Immediately preceding quarter, that Is the third quarter of last year, the world's ship ping would be (00,000 tons less than it is today." At this point the first lord ex hibited to the House a large diagram showing the curr of th shipping losses. He then took, up the question of shipbuilding. Shift Oratpat Falls Off. There, Is no lack of material in the yards today," said Sir Eric, "and there are more men In the yards, but me output only reached SS.000 tons In Jan uary. It should have been much larger.

T!e convoy system has been greatly developed and Is a real success. Since It waa adopted 15.000 ships have been convoyed with very low losses. Addl ttonal protection Is afforded by the fact that the ships In convoys closely follow the Admiralty Instructions. This adherence to Admiralty Instructions I regret Is not systematically followed otherwise. The greatest safety of all shipping rests In the observance of the Admiralty orders.

Tbe Prohibitionists, although defeat ing every attempt in the convention to authorise a complete mergerv voted to co-operate and federate" with the National party. The resolution to this effect was Introduced as a compromise by Dr. Charles Scanlon. of Pittsburg, who led the anti-merger attack. This easure did not in any way meet the approval of the merger faction, and It was Impossible to gain even a ma jority for It. Although Dr. Scanlon'a resolution was made unanimous on motion of H. W. G. Bruhaker. of Illinois, who fath ered the resolution for a complete merger, delegates from many states de clared they would go over to the Na tional party and disband their stale organizations. Such action will have to be taken at state conventions. The final action came after two days of badgering, heckling and debate which had resulted In a deadlock in hlch neither those for nor against th complete merger could muster the two-thirds majority necessary. At times each side was able to muster a majority, for the delegates, becoming weary with the long hours of argu ment, repeatedly changed their votes. Dr. 8canlon s resolution wss intro duced as a compromise and was bitterly opposed.

What position the State Hiehway Com mission Is in relative to 19 dump cars for which it agreed to pay $1000 apiece. but which were found to be unservice able for use on the main railroad lines of the state, is the question asked of Attorney-General Brown today by State Highway I-.nKineer Nunn. The cars were purchased of J. It. Lamaree, of Portland, under the under standing, according- to commission of ficials, that they were to be up to master car builders' specifications and in such condition, as to be used on the main lines of the railroads. Their par ticular use this Summer was to have been hauling- materials lonr the main tracks of the .Southern Pacific for the Salem-Aurora road work on the Pa cific Highway. Two of the cars were badly dam aged by the draw bars pulling out on freight train and nearly wrecking the train. State Highway Engineer Nunn says the cars are not In as good condition as represented and the Southern Pacific refuses to allow them to be used on the main tracks. The oommission has already paid out $6000 as a first installment on the lot of 19 cars. An inspector for the In terstate Commerce Commission places a value of about 1350 apiece on the cars, as compared to the $1000 which it was first agreed to pay. F. J.

IS Are Admitted -to Club. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL LEGE, Corvallis, March . .(Special.) WASHINGTON, March 6. Charged with the embezzlement of several mil lion dollars from the French govern ment in dealings with American motor truck manufacturers, Frank J. Gold soll, retired French soldier, is in Jail here tonight awaiting extradition pro ceedings, which will begin March 20. Goldsoll is accused by the French embassy of having appropriated to his own use huge commissions on war con tracts which he was sent to the United States to execute for his government. The prisoner declined to comment on the case, but his counsel talked freely. asserting that his arrest was due to political antagonism. The i-rencn rain Istrv. thev said, looked with disfavor on Goldsoll's close affiliations with Al bert Thomas. ex-Minister of Munitions, and that Thomas was the real objective of the prosecution. Goldsoll, who is about 45 years old, was born of Russian-Jewish parentage In Cleveland, O., but went to France about 20 years ago and was naturalized there in 1911. When' war was declared In 1914 he enlisted and served for a ver as chauffeur for a staff officer before being retired for physical dis- bility. He came to America in isio to place war orders. His counsel ad mit that he made large profits on the deliveries, but contends this was per mitted and denies any criminal culpa bality. Neither the embassy nor Gold soil's attorneys would divulge details of the transactions. Since there can be no extradition for an offense committed in this country, Goldsoll was arrested at his hotel here on a warrant technically charging spe cifically the larceny of $200 In France. Counsel for Goldsoll declared that extradition proceedings will be resisted vigorously. Goldsoll Is reputed to be quite j wealthy, having been a heavy investor in amusement enterprises in r ranee, England and Germany for the last 20 years. 104 RESPOND TO GALL Professor Who Served in France Will Talk on 'The Kind of Victory.
