GERMANY ID PAY FOR LANAO AS SHE
 DID IN FRYE CASE
Washington Thinks This Will Follow as Soon as Nationality of Vessel
 Is Clear

Washington, November 7.-Precedentl established in the case of the American ship Frye wheat laden, and bound for England sunk in midAtlantic by Ger man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Fred erick in 1915, are expected to lead the German government voluntarily to offer to pay for the steamer Lanao sunk by q German submarine off the coast of Por- tugal, October 2s, if 1t is established that the vessel was sailing legally under the American flag and registry.
 The state department is making every effort to develop the facts, and 1t ap- pears certain that due warning was given and proper care taken to safeguard the lives of all on board. The question to 1e cleared up is whether the Lanao was an American ship. It is known that ne- gotiations for her sale by the American owners to a Norwegian ship owner had been initiated before the vessel started on the voyage.

BRITISH LOSS IN WAR VESSELS IS
 NOW 5O1,79O TONS

Berlin, November 7.-(Via Sayville.) "The sinking of British small cruiser
 off the Irish coast by a German subma-
 rine has increased the total British losses in battleships and cruisers to 501, ,790 tons' says an Overseas News agency announce
 ment today. This does not include British auxiliary cruisers, submarines, torpedoboats, or guard ships lost. According to the known strength of the British navy at the beginning of the war, it has lost 14 per cent of it's bat tleships: 30 per cent of it's armored crui- sers, and 14 per cent of it's protected cruisers. Thirty-nine ships of a total of 443,500 tons have been destroyed by German naval forces.
 "The extent of the British losses is notable in view of the fact that at the
 beginning of the war the French navy's
 tonnage was 497,oO0 and the Italian navy's
 S35 GOO.
 Moreover, the British navy has lost 50
 torpedoboats of T 800 tons, and 7S subma-
 rines.

 tion only those losses regarding which

He was acting on the assumption that the Lanao was still Of Philippine registry and entitled to fly the American flag.
 Captain Mainland said it had been a mooted question for long time whether vessels under Philippine registry were entitled to fly the American flag, adding:

 First know your ducks-familiarize yourself with the shape and markings of each. variety and their character istics when in flight. Note at what distances. colors and markings be- come visible and well defined.
 Second. learn the length of your bird when extended in flight and judge distances in terms of that length and not in feet. If you know that fly ing bird measures a foot from bill to tail, you may be sure that 10 times that length will be 10 feet at no mat CT what distance.
 Third, keep your gun moving with the bird, otherwise your most careful calculations will be of no use. You cannot expect the duck to pause dur ing the time that your gun is station ary.
 Lastly. remember that what is true of one species is not at all true ot the whole duck family. Don't be dis couraged if. after you have become q crack shot at mallard or black duck you find it apparently impossible to bring down canvasback and teal.
