New London, Conn.-The German

October 81.
Captain KoeniZ said the Deutschland
left Bremen on October 10 and made
the trip here without special incident.
The entire crew comprises twenty-five
men. The Deutschland appeared in
the outer harbor shortly after mid
night and proceeded to the dock of the
Eastern Forwarding company.
Captain F. Hinsch OF the Forward
ing company, accompanied by DR.. r.
E. Black, the health officer, and other
officials, met the submarine on a tug.
The usual quarantine regulations were
waived and the Deutschland tied up
at the dock near the North German
Lloyd steamer Willehad.
The Deutschland was said to have
a large cargo of chemicals.
The submarine under her own
power, slid into a pocket" that had
been prepared for her at the wharf
at 1885 o'clock. Tht crafts entry into
the harbor was so silent that only a
few persons were aware that she was
there.
Captain Koenig said that the boat

her sailing ten days. The clearance

FEARFUL COST OF WAR.

Germans Estimate Each Square Mile
Of Territory Cost Allies 5000 Men.
Berlin.-Estimates OF the Franco.
British losses during the four months
offensive on the Somme front, ema.
mating from German general head
quarters in the west. give the losses
in round numbers as 100000. The
survey places the British losses at
100000 and those Of the French at
10000.
The estimates, the survey says. are
regarded as moderate in view of the
fact that the British casualty lists
admit losses Of $4,000 to the end OF
September. The writer claims that
each square mile OF territory recovered
cost the allies more than 5000.

also had been discovered, having been
ranked with those definitely recommended
for rejection.
Another large company asked each of
six bosses to rank twenty-six statesmen
in the employ of the company who were
well known to the Bosses Scott was then
asked to test the twenty-six statesmen and
give his estimate Of their comparative abil-
ity. Understand that all these men were
strangers to him: he had no access to
their records, and he could not question
them about their records. He simply
gave them his tests, with this remark
able result:
He ranked those twenty-six men, as to
native ability, almost exactly in accord
with the combined Judgment of the six
officers in the firm who knew the men best.
Moreover his ranking correspondent with
the ranking made by all the bosses more
closely than the individual ranking made
by any one boss conformed to the average
ranking Of all together. To put it in
figures, the correlation of Scott's rank
with the firm rank was above SO per cent;
the individual ranking of no one boss so
closely Appropriated the combined opin-
ion of the six officials.
What are these tests which bring such
astonishing results? On the opposite page

total of eighteen errors is assumed to have
sufficient ability for selling position in one
organization; another company requires
men who can complete the test within
twenty minutes and with not more than
eight errors. No person of low degree of
intelligence, says DIR. Scott, can complete
this test accurately in thirty minutes.

how many Of these incompetents. would, by
