TWENTY-FIVE LIQUOR !
LICENSES IN BALANCE
Fate Depends Upon Rule Adopted by
Excise Board in Measuring
Distances.
Sixty Of 400 Saloons In District Be-
Heved to Be Within Prohibit
ed Sections. III,

Licensing OF about twenty-five saloons
for the year beginning November / next
will depend upon the rule to be adopted
by the excise board In measuring dis
tances to determine whether saloons are
outside the prohibited zones named in
the Jones-Works law. 1t is stated that
at least this number Of liquor estab-
lishments will be put out of business II
the board measures by the most direct
lines. cutting diagcnally across q street
instead Of following the street crossings
to arrive at q given point
The law stipulates that no saloons
may be established in the territory west
of the western fire lines. within 1000
feet OF tho navy yard and War College
and 400 feet Of a public school. college
or university or place Of religious wor-
ship. There are a number of saloons To-
Gated close to the border lines. ana
measurements conducted by tho shortest
routes, it is stated. would bring them
within the prohibited areas.
Sixty in Restricted District.
It now appears that the board In
carrying out tho provisions Of the law
requiring tho number Of saloons IN the
District to be reduced to 300 by No
vember 1 will not have as difficult q
problem to solve as was at first antici-
pated. OF tho 409 applications under
consideration sixty are for saloons in
the restricted districts. 1t is estimated.
This leaves 349 cases to be considered.
and in many OF these remeasurements
are necessary.
The boards principal difficulty will be
in deciding which saloons must go
when there are more than three bar
rooms. other than hotels or clubs, on
one side Of a block or more than four
on street between intersecting
streets.
It is scarcely probable the board will
end its consideration of the cases be-
fore tho latter part of next week. An
nouncements Of reflections will be made
a week from today. 1t is believed.

LONDON, October 24.-The admiralty

Ing the steps that are being taken to
round up the eight or nine German
cruisers at large in the Atlantic. Pa
cif1c and Indian oceans. These cruisers
include the Emden, which has sunk or
captured twenty British vessels to date
In the Indian ocean, and the Karlsruhe,
which has taken thirteen British ships
in the Atlantic. The statement says:
Searching for these vessels and
working in concert under various
commanders-in-chi are upward of
seventy British, Australian, Japanese,
French and Russian cruisers, not in
cluding auxiliary cruisers. Among
these are a number of the fastest Brit
ish cruisers
Our commanders so far have been
occupied in very serious and important
convoy duty, but this work has some
what lessened, and the number of
searching cruisers is being con-
tinually augmented. Meanwhile mer-
chant ships must observe the ad-
mfralty instructions. which 1t is OBJ
viously impossible to specify, and use
all the precautions which have been
suggested. On routes where these in
struction have been followed they

Percentage of Loss Small.

'The percentage of loss is much less
than was reckoned on before the war.
Out of 1000 British ships engaged In
the foreign trade, only thirty-nine have
been sunk by the enemy. or less than
l per cent in all. Besides, seven ves-
sells are now overdue in Atlantic
waters.
THE rate Of insurance for cargoes.
which at the outbreak of the war was
fixed at guineas per cent. has now
been reduced to 2 guineas per cent.
Between 5000 and 5000 foreign voy-
ages have been undertaken to and from
United Kingdom ports, less than five
per thousand of which have been inter .
fered with, and of these losses, a large
number have been caused by merchant
vessels taking everything for granted
and proceeding without precaution as
II there were no war.
"On the other hand, German oversee
trade has practically ceased to exist.
Nearly all their fast ships which could
have been used as auxiliary cruisers
were promptly penned into neutral har-
bors, or have taken refuge in their
own. Among the comparatively few
German ships which have put to sea.
1873 have been captured, or nearly
four times the number of those lost by
the very large British mercantile ma
rine,"
