GERMANS SUNK
 54 BRITISH SHIPS Since War Started British Loss To. tals $11,5000, ,000-Emden Did
 Greatest Damage.

LONDON, Dec. 30-The loss to the British merchant marine since the war started has been 54 vessels, which, with their cargoes, totaled a value of $11,50O,O00. This announce ment was made today by the admir- atty. The German cruiser Emden did by far ;ne greatest damage to the British ships, while the cruiser Karlsruhe was second, having caught and sunk several of the big British liners operating in the South Ameri- can trade.
 The loss, however, is considered slight in comparison to the huge to- tai of ships which have been on the high seas since the war started. The captures by the British warships of German vessels is many times the loss. It is proposed now that the ad- miralty repay the owners of the lost boats from the proceeds of the steam CTS sold by the prize courts.
 With the destruction of the German fleet commanded by Admiral Spec the British believe all danger Is past. The Dresden and Karlsruhe are still at liberty but have been forced to keep in hiding.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Ger man government through it's ambas- sador here, Count von Berrstorff, has notified Secretary of State w. J. Bry- an that hereafter all consuls holding positions in Belgium must be satis- factory to the Gernean foreign office.
 The official communication to the Secretary of State is taken to indicate that the German Empire will annex the Belgium country and that the announcement of today is a fore runner of the formal annexation mo- tice which will follow.
 B. Havenith, the Belgian minister, has filed a formal protest against the recognition of the German contention that Belgium is a conquered nation and cites the fact that Belglnas still hold part of the country and still maintain strong resistance to the invading troops.
 What action the American secre- tary will take is not known, but 1t is believed that the German conten- tion will not be recognized until Bel. gium is conquered nation.
