GERMAN LOSS 16 SHIPS
British Official Estimates Destruc-
ton at 109,22o Tons.

liON CT lOS,SzO OTIS.
London, July 6.-Two estimates of
the total tonnage lost by the Germans
in the Jutland naval battle have been
made by British officials. The more
conservative one, who included in his
list only vessels seen to sink and
based his estimate on the theory that
the battleships sunk were of the oldest
dreadnought type, gives the German
tonnage lost as 1O9,220. as compared
with a British loss of 112,350.
He concludes that the Germans lost
two battleships of the Dreadnought
type Of 1S,900 tons each. one Of the
Deutschland type of 1920 tons, five
cruisers of the Rostock type, making a
total of 24,500 tons for this type: six
destroyers aggregating 1920 tons and
one submarine of 500 tons.
The more liberal estimate places the
German loss at l17,220 tons, as fol
lows: One dreadnought of the Kron.
rrinz type. 25,4S0 tons; one Of the Hell
goland type, 22ilO TONS battleship
Pommern, 1900 tons; battle cruiser
Lutzow, $4,000 tons; five Rostocks, az
gregating 2i500 tons; destroyers ag
gregating 1000 tons and n submarine
OF 500 tons.

New YORK, july S,-Ine WORK OF
checking iniantile paralysis in the city
is seriously handicapped, Health Com
missioner Emerson said yesterday, by
shortage of nurses doctors, ambul-
ances, and Inspectors. At an after
noon conference held by Dr. Emerson
and the physicians who have been as
sisting him in his work it was decided
to appeal to the American Red Cross
for nurses, but late last night Dr. En-
erson announced that the appeal would
not be made 'at present.
There was one death from the
disease in Chicago yesterday, and the
Finance Committee of the City Council
appropriated $4,000 for the Health Com
missioner to spend on precautionary

With 296 cases of infantile paralysis
in the Kingston Avenue Hospital, in
Brooklyn, 104 cases in the Willard Par
ker hospital in Manhattan, and new
cases coming in at the rate Of seventy
five to 100 day, the Department OF
Health, although drafting every avail
able employee to the work of fighting
the disease, has been able to muster
only an inadequate force. Commits
sioner Emerson, himself tired of brair
and body from overwork and under
sleep, said as much yesterday, thougl
he firmly refused to complain.

ZEPPELINS TO BRING

CHICAGO, Sept, 13.--Two "dou- ble" Zeppelins, unarmed and eacn with a carrying capacity of sixty tons, have been built in Germany to carry mail between Berlin and the United States, according to state ments here by Morris Epstein, agent of the German-American Alliance, who has returned from Europe.
 Epstein said the Zeppelins had been christened "Amerika" and "Deut s.hland
 They eau make the aerial voyage between Berlin and New York in seventy-two hours, he said.
 "They are so constructed" said Epstein, "that they can rise higher than any aeroplane and thus escape hostile aviators. They also can de- scend to the water and travel there under their own power"
 Epstein said the portage charges for this service had already been ar ranged and would be the regular n- ternational postage plus one mark, or twenty-five cents for each lctter.-Ex.

As humble suggestion to show what is meant it might be said that Seward is surrounded by circle of mountain peaks This circle could be compared to the knights of the round table and could get the of Sir Launceot another that of King Arthur and on Or they could be described choir of angels and would be Mount Gabriel and the others would be named similarly To the west there four separate mountain peaks all in full view from the streets You will notice by the snow line each today that they go north each higher than the to the south They could be named giant steps for instance That S they could be named steps that reach to something that unity of idea might be preserved. As guess m hurry, they might be named as four vr- tues Faith HOpe Charity and some other Or the whole plan could be changed to something more earthly They could be named the four periods of AaSkaS history such as The Car Seward, kondyke Lane. And for every little baye in Resurrection bay and for every it tie creek and hIock and slough the plan might be followed. plan like this would get everyone talung about on the Steamboas and finally it would reach the whole United States.
 Letus suppose that Paradise were taken as the basis steamship enters the bay crowded with people and all would be observe the story told by the names The entrance would be the Golden Gate The island would be St. Peter The of mountain peaks at each side would have their heavenly names The mountains outside the entrance would be the fallen angels and away ahead the + Throne itself If this nomenclature were based on one plan such this telling great story by the names alone not person would without receiving an impression that would remain and would be spoken of everywhere And Seward is beautiful that it could do this without being absurd If it lacked beauty it would be different
 There need be nothing ultra poetic or pious or maw- hSh in all of this but it certainly presents chance to make Seward famous everywhere.
