give months later the French
steamship Sussex was torpedoed with
out warning while carrying more than
800 passengers, including a number of
Americans, across the English chan
mel. About fifty persons were killed,
and this incident brought the sub
marine situation to an acute stage.
Germany at first dsclaimed respon-
sibility for the attack on the Sussex,
but the evidence accumulated by the
United States appeared so overwhelm-
ing that President Wilson on April IS
despatched to Germany a note which
was virtually an ultimatum, and on
the following day personally appeared
before congress and laid the entire
problem before that body. On May
10 Germany admitted the submarine
attack on the Sussex and promised
that no more liners or merchantmen
would be sunk without warning and
without ample opportunity for the es-
cape of crews and passengers. These

theatres the most striking event of
tiict was an uprising in Ireland in
April. The outbreak was organized
by a society known as the Sim Fein,
committed to the principle of inde-
pendent Ireland. Bloody fighting took
place in Dublin in which hundreds Of
lives were lost and the heart of the
business district destroyed at a cost
Of many millions of dollars. The fight
ing was sporadic elsewhere in the
islands and of minor importance. The
revolt was finally crushed and the
ringleaders executed. 1t led, how
ever, to an agitation which resulted
in the government preparing a tenn
porary home rule bill which it expects
to pass through parliament this fall.
Just before the outbreak of the re
belion Sir Roger Easement, formerly
in the British consular service, was
arrested on the west coast of Ireland
where he had attempted to land
cargo of arms sent from Germany. He
was tried later for high treason and
sentenced to death.
No definite figures can be given of
the cost of the great war in blood and
gold, but the most reliable estimates
present figures so vast that they be-
come practically meaningless. In
March, 1916, the United States gen
eral army staff estimated that the to-
tai losses in men to all belligerents
since the war began were 1908, 900
As to the money question, figures
are more reliable but still vague
They present sums which are so be
yond anything previously known to
international finance so impossible of
any human comparison that they be
come little more than a tumble of fig
ures. In March DR.. Karl Helfferich,
secretary of the imperial treasury of
Germany, estimated that the war was
costing all the combatants 1915, ,000,- |
600 week or eleven and a half bill |
ion dollars year. William Michaelis,
another German financial expert, put |
the yearly cost at the vaster sum of
fifteen billions and other financial
authorities gave even higher figures.
On July Il, Reginald McKenna, the
British chancellor of the exchequer,
stated in the house of commons that
he expenditures for Great Britain
llone were sSO,OOO,OOO daily. He did
lot say, however, how much of this
sum represented war ex-
,ense.

promises were considered satisfactory
by the president and the war cloud
lifted. Since that time a larg num-
Der of ships have been sunk by Ger
man and Austrian submarines, but the
rules of international law have been

Another cause of friction between
the United States and the central
powers was also removed during the
year Since the outbreak of the war
certain propagandists had been busy
instigating strikes in munition factor
les which had contracts with the al
lies and in endeavoring in other ways
to interfere with the trade. For this
activity in this respect the recall of
DR.. Constantin Dumba, the Austrian
ambassador, was requested by Presi-
dent Wilson in September. The fol
