FROM SHEER
EXHAUSTION
WAR WILL. WILL. END E:||D
FINANCIAL WRITER ESTI-
MATES COST TO DATE
SI6,99O,OOO. 900

p London, March rs. edward Cram
mond, a prominent financial writer,
read paper before the Royal Statis-
tical society yesterday dealing with
the cost of the war. In his opinion,
the war must end in July through
the exhaustion Of some Of the bel
ligerents.
1 Mr.. Crammond estimates the to-
tai cost Of the war to the end Of
July at siS'99O, 100000 and the total
economic loss through damage to
property and other direct and indi-
rect losses at $45.740, 900. 900 He
estimates that Great Britain alone
will spend up to the end Of
July $3,540, 5000 The. Times,
commenting on Mr., Crammond's fig
ures- thinks he takes somewhat ex-
aggerated view, although he is in
possession of facts which entities his
opinion to respect. The Times points
out that Premier Asquith's estimate
of Great Britains expenditures dur
ing the same period was only 81
50O0O0,oOO, but adds:
This certainly now appears too
low even If Mr.. crammond's estimate
is too high, and it is already believed
in financial quarters that the gov
ernment will be obliged to have re-
course to new war loan sooner than
was anticipated, probably in the
month OF May

4 Cat That Made Herself Useful.

IN the current issue Of Farm and
Preside a contributor tells as follows
of the achievements of her cat: I'VE
had something happen last summer
that we thought peculiar. One OF our
cats began staying close to the YER
bena beds in the evenings. Soon we
saw he was catching hawk moths. He
did the work so well that although
we had 140 tomato plants we had
scarcely any worms. Generally it Is
quite a. task to keep them Off the
vines. We intended to kill that cal
as we have two others and like them
better, but his life is safe now.

BernstOrff Reaches
Agreement With
Lansing.
WILSON INSISTS
ON DISAVOWAL
New Move Has Important
Bearing on Ancona Case,
Says Capital.

Washington, Dec. 29.-New pro
posals from Germany for a settle
ment Of the Lusitania controversy
proposals which the Berlin Foreign
Office hopes will be acceptable to the
United States-are expected to be
presented to the State Department
next week. The negotiations between
Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
il is understood, recently progressed
to point where a settlement was
expected at Christmas. To-day, it is
said, the German proposals resulting
from these conversations probably
would arrive soon after New Years
Day.
Information received here indi-
Gates that the Berlin Foreign Office
is anxious to end the controversy, in
spite Of adverse public opinion said
TO have been aroused by the Ameri-
can request for withdrawal of the
German naval and military attaches
and the demands on Austria Hun
gary as result Of the sinking OF
the Ancona.
The present status of the negotis-
tions is very closely guarded. The
United States has contended sll
along for a disavowal of the sinking
Of the Lusitania and reperation for
the American lives lost. A proposal
by Germany 10 arbitrate the ques-
tion Of indemnity was rejected. 1t
has since been suggested that Ger
many might make reparation with
the understanding that it would in
yolve no admission Of wrongdoing.
No agreement, it is understood, will
satisfy the United States unless il con
tains something in the nature Of
disavowal, but Germany contends that
her instructions to submarine COM
manders 10 discontinue such attacks as
that on the Lusitanis is the most ef-
fective dissvowal that could be given.
Il is regarded here as especially sig
nfcant that settlement Of the Lusi-
tania case should become imminent at
a time when Teutolic diplomatic circles
are represented as being prepared for
diplomatic break between the United
States and Austria-Hungsry.
A clearing up of the Iusitanis case,
officials believe. would have an impor-
tant bearing on the controversy pend
ing with Vienna. That situation re
mained unchanged tonight, withous
word from Ambassador Penfeld or any
official indication Of when Austria's re
ply to Secretary Lansing's renewed de-
mands might be expected.
