COMPARISON OF TONNAGE
OF WORLDS WARSHIPS NOT
TOBE MADE BY UNCLE SAM

Washington, Dec. 10.-In order that
the United States may observe strict
neutrality in tho European war, the
Navy Department will not issue this
month the usual comparative statement
of the warship tonnage Of the principal
naval Powers of the world, hitherto is
sued in December and July of each
year. Instead Of attempting to put out
a statement corrected to date the in
telligence Office of the department to-
day reissued the statement of July,
when all of the nations now at war
were pursuing the paths of peace.
While the issuance by the United
States of a statement setting forth the
naval strength of the warning nations
might be improper in itself, it was also
pointed out that the changes wrought
in the various navies by destruction
of vessels on the one hand and pur-
chase and completion of craft on the
other would make it quite impossible
to compile the necessary data.
The July statement, reissued to-day
shows Great Britain at the head of the
list with a tonnage of 2,157, 1850, while
the other nations, in the order of their
tonnage, are Germany, United States,
France, Japan, Italy, Russia and Aus
ia-Hungary. This statement shows
that with the completion of vessels
built and building July / the order
would be Great Britain, Germany
France, United States, Japan, Russia,
Italy, Austria Hungary. This latter
calculation would place the United
States fourth instead of third among
the world naval Powers.

Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 10,
Isl A. M.-Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the
Socialist member of the Reichstag,
who was the only one to vote against
the war credit at the recent session of
the Reichstag, explains his action in
an article just published in Berlin. He
says:
"This war was not desired by any
of the peoples affected nor was it
kindled to promote the welfare of the
Germans. or any other people. 1t was
created by the common action of the
German and Austrian war parties in
the obscurity of semi-absolutism and
secret diplomacy in order to anticipate
their adversaries. At the same time the
war is a Napoleonic attempt to unnerve
and crush the growing labor move
ment.
