The Destruction of the Colombo Marut
As already reported, says the Japan Chronicle" of March 26, fire broke out on board the N.Y.K Colombo Maru, 4,587 tons near the Danjo Islands, off Goto. Bizen province, Kyushu, on March 22 at 8 pm, while the ship was en route from Mcji to Batavia as the pioneer of the new South Seas line inaugurated by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The flames subsided, but on the moming of March 23 again burst out and assumed serious dimen¬ aicns.. The Seifuku Maru, which harpened to be passing, took over the crew of the Colombo Mart, and tried to tow the versel to Nagasaki. The attempt way. hopeless, however, owing to the rapid spread of the fismes, which had completely destroyed the stern of the vessel by about 11 p.m. on March 23. At one o'clock the following morning the bridge was destroyed. and an hour later No. 2 hold burst into flames. It thus became impossible for the Seifuku Mara to salvage the Colombo Mara, and she left för Nagasaki, leaving the burning steamer to her fate. The Colombo Maru: carried 5,200 tons, of cement, matches bricks, zine, and carbide. It is believed that the outbreak was due to the spontaneous ignition of the carbide.
The Submarine Warfare. Diagrams issued by the French Ministries of Marine and Submarine Warfare show that the Allied losses in merchant ships have decreased regularly since June... The measures taken after the painful crisis, which reached its height in April, 1917. dim.nished the number of losses to such a degree that the situat- ion was better in December, 1917, than in December. 1916 an

The losses in food ships have been reduced to 1.4 per cent, thanks, chiefly to the system of convoysi As regards the destruction of enemy submarines, the results obtained a e also encourating. The losses which are based on certainties, have risen regularly since the end of September, 1916 These Icenes were in October, November and December last nine times greater than in the thre corresponding mouths of 19 6. The diminution in the losi of tonnage by submarine sinkings, is due not to reduction in tonnage sfloat, but to the new messures: taken for the annihilation of the submarines.
