Germany ct al

The area of the countries ranged against Germany, exclusive of Italy, he finds to be 67,OoO,O0o square kiIo- meters, with an aggregate popula- ton of 800,00o,O0O. Germany and her allies on the other hand have @ territory of 6,OOO,0Oo square kiIomet- CTS, and a population of 150, ,OOO,0 900 persons.
 nations now taking part he places at 169, 9,OOO,00O marks ($42,25o, o,oOO). and he estimates that up to the first of April the total cost of the war 4o,- 100000 marks ($1o, 1000. ,OOO) Italy again excepted, he placed the annual cost of such a war at $15,OOO, ,O0O, ,000.
 It would take 6o,00o, ,o00 of the huge 1000 mark bank notes to pay this cost, and these notes, stacked. up one on top of the other would make a pile 2,ooO feeet, almost four miles, in height. In gold this same sum would weigh 24,0OO,OO0 Kilograms (52, 800 pounds) whereas the en- tire gold production of the entire world during the past 500 years has amounted to but 15,OOo,OOO ktIo- grams.
 The daily war costs for the German empire he places at 33,O0O,0 900 marks ($s.2 o,0oo) and only 40 days of this conflict cost as much as the whole Franco-Prussian war of1S7O-71. The cost to England, exclusive of the col onies, is about the same, and three months of this war cost Great Britain as much as the Boer war lasting two years and seven months. France spends a little more daily.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Further German advances in the vicinity of Souchez where the cemetery was captured from the : French early. on Monday are re- ported in the official statement from Berlin. The Germans claim to have pushed their posi- : tions forward across the cemetery along a, width Of 500 yards and captured the Cabaret Rouge, on the road to Arras The French de- clare that the attack by the Ger man troops in the Labyrinth was beaten off.
 Hard lighting continued in the woevre region, where the Ger mans are believed in Paris to have resumed the drive at Verdun. The French report hand grenade com bats and cannonading at Apre- ont, Regnievil1e and in Le Pre- tre forest. The Germans claim to have broken up with heavy losses four French attacks on Le Pretre forest positions.
 Thirty-f1ve French aeroplanes swept over the railroad stateon serving the Ca1onne trench re- zion and that of the Aprement forest, dropping M bombs and starting several fires. All the air men returned.
 Subscriptions to the British war Joan have reached 9 total of $3.- ooG.O00, 900, the government an- 1ounced. Of this sum $75, ,000,- onu came from 547, 1000 persons thre1gh the postoh1ce, and these sut scrip iptions have not yet closed
 There are signs of renewed ac- tfvity by the sTeutonic forces along the eastern fighting front. Petro- grad\ Officially reports lively en- gagements along the East Prus- sian front; in the Bobr and Narew regions and further to the south west between the Pissa and Ro- soga rivers. There also has been fighting in the Przanysz region along the line north of Warsaw.
 South of Warsaw only sporadic actions have occurred but from eastern Ga1icia, where quiet has prevailed for some time, Teutonic attacks along the Z1ota Lipa and the Dneister are reported. The up- per Bug river. near Busk also was the scene of fighting.
 Coincident with this news come reports through Petrograd that Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army, strongly reinforced, soon will resume active operations.
 Resumption of heavy assaults by the Germans in the Woevre re- 4 zion in France is interpreted by Paris military observers to mean that the failure of recent attempts to break through to Verdun by way of the Argonne is being fol- lowed by a similar effort in this new direction.
 Through Myti1ene and Athens. Paris has received 8 report that as the result of another battle on the Ga1lipoi peninsula, the forces of the entente allies have ad- vanced 200 yards.
 According to an Athens des- patch to a London newspaper, the Kings Of Greece, Rumania and Bulgaria are soon to meet in con- ference.

RUSSIAN PRESS IN SCATHlNG ATTACK ON GERMAN REPLY
 
Says Germany's Answer Tramples Upon U. $.
 Honor and Rights.

Petrograd. July 13.-The Novoe Vren1ya, in editorial comment on Ger many's reply to the American note on submarine warfare, declares that the reply indicates victory TOT the oe- mands of the military and naval ele- ments in the German cabinet. The newspaper says:
 Every line of the German answer tramples upon neutral rights and the honor of the United States Every word breathes the solid convict1on that America will not dare to insist upon her rights and that Americas cry about right. justice and humanity will remain empty sound. Rejecting Amer tca's demands, German diplomacy transforms Germany from accused to accuser who puts before the United States her own demands
 The Novoe Vremya concludes that the German admiralty is making fun of American diplomatic elQQuence but expresses the opinion that America will bend the head and engage in fur thers diplomatic exchanges.
 s The Reich, after making analysis Of the German answer, says:
 ''The subtIeties of President Will son's mind we do not know, but there is apt to be only two alternatives open. He could forego the role of public crier of human principles and look afar from a narrow, practical viewpoint In that event he could discharge one more minister, send more notes to Berlin, deal out safe conducts for possibly six. or let us say eight 'epefhy' ships. Or he could take his stand on the high plane of that historic problem, the yokS of which he took up two months ago and feel ing the whole insulting cunning of the German answer show in deeds that eve to his peaceable. trusting heart, has. come the conviction that the time has arrived to put an end once and for all to German pretentions.''

The new mayor. upon beng elected by the municipal assembly. as is customary in Tokio, promptly withdrew his affil- iation with the Seiyukai or Opposition party, of which he was a prominent member, with the professed desire to conduct the municipal administration on a broad. nDn-p partisan basis. He did not think that allegiance to a po- HticaI party would be helpful to that end.
 MT Okuda began life as . news paper man and exemplifies the grow ing tendency among Japanese Journ- alists Of finding their way to public life. He did his first writing for the Japan Gazette, the organ of the Brit ish community af Yokohama. and has had a long and honorable career in the Diet.
