GERMANS MAY SEIZE
ALL BELGIAN CROPS
Chairman Hoover of Relief
Commission Makes Protest,
Fearing Serious Results.
In "a. 10 Nc TrIhun,.l

London, June l7.-There are grave
possibilities in the food situation in
Belgium. The Germans may seize this
years crops, thus forcing the Commits
sion TO continue TO feed the people.
BelRIum's crops this year promise TO
be even larger than normal If the
people are permitted to reap the har-
vests and keep the food for themselves,
the food problem will become rather
easy TO handle, but if the Germans,
who had the foresight TO compel the
Belgians TO plant large crops, take
over the harvest, the situation will be
exceedingly serious, for it is highly
probable that the Allies will refuse TO
permit further shipments of food to
Belgium on the ground that the Ger
man army is greatly benefited thereby
In other words, when the Allies permit
foodstufs TO enter Belgium. :hey per-
NIT something which the Germans
themselves should undertake and re-
lieye the latter of great responsible
ties.
II. c. Hoover, chairman of the Bel
gian Relief Commission, is now nego-
tiating with the German local authori-
ties, endeayoring TO get their promise
not 10 take over the crops II he fails
there, he will renew the representa-
tons in Berlin. He is understood TO
be getting the fullest support from. the
American legation at Brusbels.

AUSTRO- GERM LOSSES
4,OOO,O 900, SAYS BELL0C
LIZ, Cahls 70 Tie Tribune. ]

London, June 17.-Hilaire Belloc
estimates the total German and
Austrian losses at abou- 100000
men, basing his calculation on an
analysis of the figures of the Brit
ish casualties given by Premier AS
auth in the House of Commons last
week. Those figures, he points out,
show that one out of every five
British soldiers, or 5O,3i2 out OF
25s,O69, on the casualty lists, has
been killed. He estimates that one
out Of every six on the enemies
casualty lists has been killed, bas-
ing this multiple on the calcula-
ton that their losses have been
less than those of the Allies.
NJ. Beiloc considers this a conserva-
tive estimate, because the Austrians
have lost enormously more in pro-
portion in prisoners than the
British.
THE enemy's potential manhood
for actual fighting within the first
year." Belloc concludes, "has prob
ably been diminished by nearly one
half from all causes"

Iron The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, June 17.-There has
been no change in the American atti-
tude of opposition to the Order IN
Council Of the British government rel
alive to neutral cargoes. The govern
ment refuses to accept the long-range
blockade instituted by Great Britain
and challenges the authority of the
British to interfere with the rights
of neutral commerce.
This was, in effect, the statement
made at the State Department to-day
II was said that for the last two
months officials had been gathering
facts relating TO the interference with
neutral commerce by Great Britain
for use in note of protest to the
British government.
AS already told in The Tribune, in
timations have come from London that
the Foreign Office is preparing an an
swer 10 the American note OF March
80, which protested against the en-
forcement of the Order in Council on
the ground that il was not In accord
with international law.
While it is understood that the
State Departments note is nearly
completed. it probably will not go to
London at this time in view OF the
intimation that a note rom Great
Britain is forthcoming. L is a so rea-
sonably sure that it will not be sent
until after the German reply to Presi,
dent Wilson's second note is received
here.
While il could not be learned
whether the shipment Of foodstufs to
the non-combatant population OF Ger
many would be included in the intend
ed American note to Great Britain, 1t
is believed this subject will be dis
cussed in more or less general way,
and an offer made Of mediation look
ing to changing warfare on the seas
While il is believed the British note
will present certain notifications OF
the Order in Council, it is not expect
ed that they will be sufficiently far.
reaching to satisfy the demands OF
this government.
The feeling is growing here that
Germany's answer to President VIII
sons note will not be sent for three
weeks or more. It is understood that
irtimations to this effect have come
from Ambassador Gerard. President
Wilson has not changed his plan for
a two weeks vacation, beginning next
Friday. It is his intention. unless
something serious demands his pres
ence in Washington, 70 leave for his
summer home at Cornish next Thurs
day or Friday, to remain until July g..
Optimism which has prevailed since
the sending of the Presidents second
note TO Germany continues unchanged.
The favorable way in which this COM
munication was received and the
friendly comment of the German
press has caused the feeling that the
differences will be Strengthened out
in a manner satisfactory to both
countries. There is no other reason
for this belief, as high officials in the
State Department frankly admit that
they do not know what the German
reply will be.

Panic in City.

LRr Cahle 70 The Trlhune ]

a third injured.
Two bombs then fell on the post
Office in the Kaiserstrasse. One crashed
through the roof and another bomb fell
through an adjoining house, making a
huge hole in the basement floor.
One bomb fell through the roof Of a
house in the Waldstrasse, but nobody
was hurt Others fell in the Erb-
prinzienstrasse, several falling through
the roof of a dressmaker's establish
ment. Stones from the pavements
flew up, smashing many windows in
this street, where a number Of people
were killed and many badly injured
Bombs also fell in front of the Catho
lie Church and in the Fr!edrichsplatz,
near the door Of the Grand Duchy Mu-
scum. without damaging any of the

bulc and ncighboring cigar factory

Other bombs falling through the
roof Of a nurses training school
wounded an orderly. The Karl Fried
rich monument was badly damaged. A
bomb crashing through the roof Of the
Palace Theatre buried itself in the
floor Bombs scattered the members
assembled at fashionable club, all,
however, escaping unhurt. Another
fell on a synagogue and others sw pit
the balustradc from a balcony in the
Kaiserstrassc into the street A
shower Of bombs also descended in
the east south and west parts Of the
city.
During the bombardment an indie
scribablc panic and uproar prevailed
among the citizens. The Landsturm
was called out later to prevent the
people touching unexploded bombs.
From another source 1t Is learned
that the Kaiser's statue was nearly
destroyed.

SINKS 3 TURKISH
TROOP VESSELS
Greater Part of Soldiers
and Crews Reported to
Have Been Drowned.

London. June 17.-Unofficial dis
matches from Athens to-day say news
has been received from Mudros, port
on the Island of Lemnos, of the en-
trance to the DardGnelles, that Brit
ish submarine torpedoed and sank three
Turkish transports, loaded with troops,
in the straits above Niagara. Most OF
the troops and crews are said to have
been drowned. IL
Turkish troops in the Dardanelles
have been repulsed in their attempt TO
recapture the trenches lost by them to
the British on June IL, according 10
an official statement on the situation IN
the Dardanelles, made public here TO-
day The announcement follows: .
"On the night of June 10 party OF
the enemy, led by a German ohcer'
made a gallant attack on the trenches
occupied BY one of the British brlgades.
A few Of the enemy were killed on the
rarapet, but a majority OF them lei
before reaching our trenches. FIFTY
dead were counted, including the Ger
man leader and his Turkish subordi-
nate.
"These trenches were captured by US
on the night of June IL. After q strong
attack, the Turkish positions were en-
filaded by our machine guns from right
to left. The Dublin fusiliers attack ed
with the bayonet. When the trenches
were occupied they were found to con-
tain 200 dead Turks. Twelve prisoners
also were taken. Our casualties were
light"
The Turkish official statement, re-
ceived by wireless from Constantine
pie, gives a very different version. It
says:
"Our artillery mas caused the enemy
heavy losses at Ari Burnu. Our coast
batteries successfully bombarded the
enemy's transports, camp and alrshlp
sheds at Seddul Bahr"
A dispatch from Constantinople by
way Of Amsterdam says that, according
to official announcement, Turkish avn
ator reports having observed a British
warship of the Agememnon type
aground in Kefala Bay, Island Of I'M
bros, with the deck almost completely
submerged
The Island of Imbros is off the en-
trance TO the Dardanelles Straits, and
a warship damaged in the straits might
well take refuge there. A story was
published recently that the British
battleship Agamemnon had been sunk
by the Turks, but this was categorical
ly denied by the British government.

Washington. June IA translation
of an article alleged to have been sent
to the "Koelnische ZeiJUng' rs its
Washington correspondent, IN which
the American press in general and the
