MAY GIVElIP FIGHT
British Admit Campaign in
DardanelIes a Failure.
Official Figures Show 96,S99
Casualties in NarrOWS.

London, Oct. 15.-Announcem ment of
the great losses of the British forces
at the Dardanelles follow the sensa-
tional speech in the house of lords
last night of Lord Millner, who is
said to have chara cterized the expedi-
ton as hopeless.
He suggested withdrawal of the
troops from Galiipoli peninsula and
their transfer to some other front.
Lord Lansdowne responded, for the
government that it was impossible to
give any undertaking that the troops
would continue in the DardanelleS
operations, or would be withdrawn.
The figures given out today do not
tell the full story of what it has cost
the allies to attempt to force the Dar-
danelLes. In addition to the British
casualties are the losses of the French,
concerning which no reliable informa-
ton is available
The British total bears out dis
patches from correspondents on this
front, who have, described the loss of
life as frightful. In some instances,
according to these advices, trenches
and gulleys have been choked with
the dead.
Turkish losses also have been de-
scribed as very heavy
London, Oct. 15.-The total of
British casualties at the DardanelIes
up to October 9, according to official
figures given here today, was 96,S99.
OF this total the number of men
killed was 1887, of whom 1,185 were
officers. Casualties of the Australia
sian contingent were 29,121-

calls for two dreadnoughts and two
battle cruisers.
The five year program would call
for 6 capital ships dreadnoughts
and six battle cruisers.
In order to get the best advantag ge
of improvements in construction and
not to overtax the capacity of Ameri-
can navy yards, the first years con-
struction will include two dread
noughts and two battle cruisers and
about % submarines, sixteen destroy
ers and probably five scout cruisers.
The total amount to be appropriated d
for construction this year will be in
the neighborhood of $100,000.000, but
since about $2S, 100000 of this sum is
for the three battleships authorized
last year. the total increase in the
naval appropriation bin is more likely
to be about $72.O00.00O-
This together with the army in
crease of 100000. will make the
increase for national defense about
$140.000,000, or total appropriation
for the two branches of the service
about $402. 100000.
May Make 1t More
1t was said at the navy department
later that the first year program,
be expanded to two dreadnaughts and
three battle cruisers.
Officials worked over the figures
for several hours following the White
House conference in effort to dis
tribute the sums equally over the five
year period and il was considered
quite possible that five capital ships
might be asked for as the initial step
in the program.

BRITISH SINK ONE
Submarine Sends German Tor

LOst-Details of Fight.

London. Oct. ia dispatch to tie
Central News from Copenhagen says
that a British submarine has sunk a
German torpedo boat.
The British submarine torpedoed
and sunk a German destroyer at the
southern entrance to The Sound, &
narrow strait between Denmark and
Sweden which connects the Baltic
with the North sea.
A great explosion followed tie
striking of the torpedo and the de-
stroyer foundered Immediately
Information indicates that all the
members of the destroyer's crew were
lost.
A German cruiser and three destroy
ers were engaged with the British
submarine. The German craft moved
in circles to avoid the attack of the
submarine which was bonn barded
heavily. This continued for some time
until the submarine lodged a torpedo
on the destroyer, which sank with Il
terrific explosion
The other German warships are said
to have retreated. The submarine
rose to the surface and remained on
the scene for some time before it dis
appeared. A sharp lookout from the
Danish coast is being kept but no sur
vivors have been found

SING SING BANK FAILS
Run Discloses Insolvency of New Con-
vict Enterprise,

Ossining, Oct 15.-The Sing Sing
prison savings bank has suspended
payment after an existence of five
days and today the prisoners are
mourning the loss of the token mon
ey they had deposited. An excess of
loans without security, followed by
unsuccessful gambling by the borrow
ers wrecked the bank. The plan of
using token money in the prison
was put into effect last Friday and
each prisoner was paid 50 for two
days work on Saturday. Financiers
among the convicts promptly started
savings bank and many prisoners de-
posted their savings. Warden Os
borne notified the prisoners Tuesday
morning that they must pay forty
cents a day in the tokens for their
board. There was run the pris-
on bank which revealed the fact that
its funds had been dissipated by bad
loans. The warden ordered the bank
dissolved. A depositors' COMMITTEES
has been appointed to save all pos
sible from the assets and the Mutual
Welfare league is expected to put the
banks officers on trial for malfeas-

Notifications were completed today.
Secretary Garrison has forwarded
his estimates already approved by
President Wilson to the secretary of
the treasury and Secretary Daniels
submitted his estimates this afternoon
after going over the final details with
President Wilson this morning.
Secretary Daniels and the president
reported an agreement on the num-
Der of warships but the secretary said
he could not give the figures until
later. 1T was learned, however, that
the expenditures will be distributed as
evenly as possible over the five years.
The navy estimates probably will be
made public tomorrow and those Of
the army on Monday.
Navy Building.
The plans of the navy, Secretary
Daniels admitted, include a large
building program.
He said he wanted to increase the
capacity of the various government
navy yards and do much of the new
warship construction in those yards
He said he expected there would be
ernment and private ship yards.

son, chairman of the naval consulting
committee regarding the committees

laboratory.
For Research Work.
The navy estimates will include Il
recommendation for an appropriation
for research work. but Secretary Dam
iels has not asked for $5,000,000, the
sum the committee thought should ee
spent for a laboratory, because such
a large sum for this purpose is he
lieved unnecessary for the first year.
Secretary Lane saw the president

S3.00OO00 less than last year for pen
year for the land office, a slight in
crease for the bureau of mines and
more money than last year for Indian
work and national parks.
More for Parks.
The increase for national parks has
been made necessary by the fact that
this year more than twice as many

more patent examiners also has been
asked by the secretary
Secretary Lansina later discussed
the estimates for the state department
with the president. He said he would
ask for about s1.0OO.0GO more than
the state department estimates of last
year. Added expenditures growing out
of the European war and the revolu-
ton in Mexico caused the increase.
