NATIONS SEA LOSSES.
UnimpOrtant but Expensive Naval
SkirmiSlleS

SkirmiSheS.
Liverpool. June 20.-After ten
months of war the losses suffered by
the contending navies present some
interesting points for speculation,
says The Journal of Commerce, afford
ing comparison Of the relative mer-
it's of the various offensive weapons in
the naval struggle, and showing how
costly it is to the countries concerned
to indulge in minor encounters.
Summarizing the losses under types
of vessels, Great Britain and her al
lies have been deprived of the YER
vices of eight battleships, ii cruisers,
four gnnboats. six destroyers, ten sub
marines, IA boats, and six armed mer-
chantmcn and auXiliarics.
The losses Of Germany and her al
lies consist Of one battleship, % cruis-
crs. 5 gunboats, l3 torpedo craft, six
submarines and 20 armed merchant
men and auXiliaries.
Separating the losses under the va
rious causes, negelcting auXiliaries
and armed merchantmen, .hc torpedo
has destroyed l31 900 tons Of allied
vessels, the mine $4,000 tons, gunfire
27,oOO tons and $4,000 tons have been
lost in various other ways.
The German, Austrian and Turkish
fleets have been deprived of 1900
tons Of war vessels by means of the
torpedo, $4,000 tons of the mine, ST.
COO tons by gunfire, and $4,000 tons
from various other causes.
These figures show that England
and her allies have lost 100000 tons
of naval fighting material costing ap-
proximately sl0O0OOO0O, while the
Tenton and Turkish losses total 14O,-
600 tons, worth about $60,0OO,0OO
The figures also show that the mis-
cclancous losses officially recorded
are approximately the same on both
sides, while from torpedo, gun and
mine the British and their allies have
lost nearly double the tonnage that
their opponents have lost by the same
causes. BY torpedo the British losses
arc ten time more than those of the
other side which shows clearly how
important part that weapon plays.
In guntire England has established
Il long lead chiefly because the Ger
man ships at large when war was de-
clared have been destroyed by this
means. In the armed merchantmen
and auxiliary class the net register
tonnage of allied ships destroyed
amounts to 10000, while the German,
Austrian and Turkish losses stand al
approximately double that figure The
total financial loss in this instance
amounts to about $15,000,000
Thus ten months Of SkirmiShing
and preliminary actions. leading to
no definite results so far as the Ques-
ton Of naval supremacy is concerned,
has brought about the destruction Of
about 100000 tons of warships cost
ing sl75,000,OOO.

NUMBER -
MEETING
SEWER EXTENDED--FINE
FOR GLASS ON
STREET

AT the meeting of Town Council
Monday night an ordinance was
finally passed making it unlawful
to throw bottles or glass in the
streets of the town and providing
for fine of from SO to $40 for
violations. Another ordinance
passed will make it unlawful to in
Jure or destroy any street pave
ments, curbs, cutters or castings.
The report of the treasurer
Fhowed the balance to the credit
OF the town to be about $4,175.
The Council approved of plans
submitted by the Sewer Commits
sion for the extension of the sewer
667 feet along Depot Road. This
was done with the understanding
however, that a competent engi-
neer be secured to look after the
work and Mr.. Kastenhuber, who
was resident engineer when the
sewer system was installed, will
likely be the man. Bids will be
asked for on this work. The ex-
tension will give the college au-
thority to connect the "Whittier"
house which is to be used as a DOR
mltory for students of the Wom-
ems College. A number of prop
erty owners along the street have
agreed to connect with the sewer
and pay their share of the ex-
Dense If the sewer is extended.
