DIVER WARFARE FULL PUBLICITY Total Sinkings Since War Be gan 11,827,572 Tons; New Construction for Same Pe riod 6,723,623 Tons. Washington, March 21. Abandoning its policy of secrecy, the United States is about to join with Great Britain in frank discussion of the submarine menace. To impress upon the people of this country the vital necessity or individual and united effort to beat the U-boat, Chairman Hurley of the shipping board haa prepared a statement to follow that of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the ad miralty before the house of commons yesterday. Hurley will openly show the great tasks before the United States in speech 'next Tuesday in New York City. Today the British embassy made pub lic striking figures carefully compiled to show the tremendous inroads the Ger mans are making on the world's shipping. This statement, President Wilson and his "war cabinet" had before them yestcr day at the long conference in the White House. Most of that conference was de voted, it was learned later, to the . ton nage problem facing the world. And ap parently it was agreed Hurley should make a statement on the serious work ahead of the United States including employers as well as laborers. Figures compiled by e cperts of the allied nations show that since the war began, the total Iosb in world tonnage, due to enemy action and marine risk, is 11,827,572 gross tons, of which the loss in 1917 was 6,723,623 tons. As againBt this the total output of world tonnage in the some period was only 6,606,275 gross tons, the total for 1017 being 2,703,355 tons. In addition to the later the total ene my vesels captured since the war began amounted to 2,580,000 gross tons. The figures given out publicly for the first time by the British admiralty, "speak for themselves," it is stated. It is no longer felt necessary to hide the facts, it is explained.' On the subject of losses, the admiralty "disclaim any de Bire to prophesy about so uncertain a thing as war in its submarine phase." The result of the last year, shows the ability of our seamen to get on terms with the submarine menace and gradually to gain the upper hand. It would be incorrect, however, to as sume, the admiralty warns, that losses by submarines willScontjnue to decrease or that production-of merchant Vessels will continue to increase it is 'emphasised that the publication at this time of the real facts regarding the U-boat threat is merely to insure the "vigorous co-operation, of. all concerned "in boming build ing" while science Is placing at our dis posal means of offense and defense of which we have been in need." With both the American and English production records for January sad hampered by bad weather and thef factors, the British .figures today and the forthcoming Hurley state ment sound an underlying note of serious warning to shipyard managers and work ers. The point where production balances losses "will be postponed to a danger ous extent" unless more speed is shown all around. The British statement warns frankly. And besides meeting the con BEAUTIFUL HAIR , FREE Draw a moist cloth through hair and double its beauty at onoe. Save your hair I Dandruff dis appears and hair stops coming out. Immediate? Teal Certain J that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after an application of Danderine. Also try this moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it. through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil, and in jnst few moments yon have doubled the beauty of your hair, A dellshtftil .surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or la scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and In vlgoratei the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair, but what will please yon most will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair fine and downy at first yes but really new hair growing all over the scalp. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Irs exhilarating, stimulating and life-producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong nd beautiful. Tou can surely have pretty, charming lustrous hair, and tots of it, If yon will spend a few cents for a bottle of Knowl ton's Dsnderlne from any drug store or toilet counter and try It, as directed. Ada stant losses, the deficit of tonnage for the past must be made up. Great Britain is about to introduce more uuskilled labor both male and fe male to meet the need for constant ac tion. If employers heeiate to play their part," said the British statement, "it men anywhere Mown tools' or go slow for any reason, they are pre judicing the vital interests of the com munity." The Hurley statement will offset much of the over advertising of Amer ica's sbirVilldlng plnns. The Inst two quarters of 1917 showed a decline In ahip losses, over the second quarter, but the engineers were higher than for any - other period except the fourth quarter of 1916. , ., Allied and neutral losses in 1915 by quarters were: First, 320,447. Second, 380,419. Third, 520,481. ( . Fourth, 484,373. In 1916 they were: v First, 524.104. Second, 522,289. Third, 502,039. : : Fourth, 1,150,843. , In 1917 they- were: First, 1,619.373.

No attempt was made to furnish the economic loss involved, but it runs into startling figures for it is frequently the case that a cargo is worth more than l,00O,O0O.

' ' REGISTRAR EXPECTS FEW NEW STUDENTS Believes University Addition Will Barely Even Up for Men Who Leave. New students for the third term. which opens Monday, April 1,- will, in the opinion of Registrar Tiffany, be just about sufficient in number to keep regis tration up to its present standard. The number of withdrawals has ao far not exceeded ordinary expectations, nor, on the othor hand, has the advance dope on new seekers for high education any thing startling in it; there are no signs of a mad rush this- way. It must be. remembered, however, that under the present system a' single term of college work is very short, and that the third term begins in April; and the thoughts, of the young are warranted to turn to almost anything under the sun but math and chemistry and English 'comp' when the spring days come. Tiffany Is Optimistic Mr. Tiffany, howevor, feels extromely optimistic over the fact that two new students have already slipped fO apiece over the marble counter to Comptroller Johnson, and snys that should be quite enough to bhcer anyone up this time of year. Furthermore, he considers the, signs of the times not nearly so drab as they might be legitimately expected, which, in tb king's English, means that not nearly s many students are taking out withdrawal cards as might. Many Register Early. Tuesday, which was si t aside as of ficial registration day, saw Johnson hall lined with students completing their registration, practically all day, and present indications are that the comp troller shoveled in many a reluctant S from anxious vacationers. The big idea is that you have to pay the $8 enyway why not do it now and get to stay in your own home town a day longer? Fees paid before Friday will make it possible for students to remain away until time for classes to begin, on Tuesday, April 2. Otherwise they must be paid Monday, April 1, and to pass April fool's day op will cost j'ou a joker, of Just $2, before you are accorded the privilege of settling down to classes.

TO VARSITY 1CK MEN Graduate Comes to Rescue of Squad Because of Illness of Bill Hayward. W. W. Brlstow, former Oregon track star, and a prominent Eugene business man, will take over the work 'of "Bill" Hayward, and try to get the Varsity track men in condition for the spring meets. This news was given ont at a meeting of the tract men, held in the gymnasium Monday evening. The So or 40 men who attended the meeting are all that have turned out for track, as yet, and as they have been able to accomplish little without the aid of an experienced coach, they re ceived the newa of Brlatow's appoint ment with joy. v Here Ma Art Needed. "The meeting Monday was intended .to get a little pep aroused among the track and field men," said Dean Walker yesterday, "and with the services of Bristow we are sure going to have aonie track team. Bristow Is donating his time and experience to the fellows, and lie deserve all the support that can be given him." Bristow volunteered his services when be saw the position the Oregon team wjs m when Ray ward was forced to give up active work on account of his health. He is out every night with; the men and they ore putting more eftort into the work. ,'. , Record Men Missing. The new coach is confident that he will be able to round out a good team from the candidates that are out, but he thinks that there ahould be about twice aa many candidates ont as have put in their appearance. So far this sesson the men have spent moat of their time getting the kinks out of their muscles, and, while there appears to be no second Chet Fees, Martin Hawkins, or Moose Muirheada, the bunch looks like consistent point grabbers, and theio are good prospects of another lemon yellow triumph on the cinder path and In the jumping pits. Bristow wss a sprinter and broad jumper of considerable note during his college career. He worked under Hay ward long enough to get well acquainted with his method of putting the men in condition for the spring meets. Bristow has no national or northwest records to his credit, but ho wss always a stesdy plugger, and could be counted on to do his best in every meet. He in tends to instil this plugging spirit into the men who are ont this year and, while Oregon may not get a single first piece, he intends to see that she gets all of the seconds. - "' E IS OF Executive Committee of Board of .Regents Selects California University Graduate.

"The Imperii chancellor wanted to make the tame tpeech which alnce 1015, every German chancellor has made. The fundamental idea of these speeches is this: The German empire, In the con sciousness of its' power, proposes a 'Just' peace to Ita enemies, but the wicked ene mies refuse to conclude this peace and this proves that the enemies are aolely responsible for the prolongation of the war. . When formerly the German govern ment spoke of the 'just' peace those who followed the German policy knew at once on how mendacious a foundation ' this policy was based, but the German peo ple in those dayt had confidence In Its government and credited Its explana tions.
