By The United Press.

LONDON. June 5.-The hopes of
which were on the ships lost in the
great Skagerak sea fight that some of
the men would be rescued. is being
slowly crushed by the tales of awful
ness brought in by vessels which have
reached Copenhagen since the battle
But with the crushing of this hope,
pride in the navy is growing hourly
with continued insistence of the Brit
ish Admiralty that the Germans lost
far more heavily than they admit
There seems to be the strongest
ground for supposing that included in
the German battle losses are two
battleships, two dreadnoughts, battle
cruisers Of the most powerful type,
two of the latest light cruisers, the
Wiesbaden and Elbing: light cruiser

continued violent assaults in the re-
gion Of Dead Mans Hill. Hill SO4. Fort
Douaumont and Fort vaux all Sunday
and were everywhere repulsed, official
reports to the French war Office say.
Il is said here that the Germans are
making mighty efforts at Verdun TO
give strength to the increase in spirit
OF the German people aroused by the
North Sea naval battle.
A German infantry attack late Sum
day, according TO the report. wrested
some Of the French line trenches from
their defenders in the region between
Damloup and Fort VauM The invad-
ers were quickly driven out by a
fierce counter attack.
Despite the recent German sue
cesses around Verdun. the officers in
command of the men remain sublimely
confident the city will not be taken. II
is held that the Germans are without
sufficient reserves TO start storming

actions by the Allies at all points
along the line remote from Verdun to

NEW RATES TO AFFECT
HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES
Central Freight Association Pro.
poses Increase on Dec.

Cleveland, Nov. 6.-Railroad officers
here admitted to-day that the roads
represented by the Central Freight AS
ISOLATION, covering Ohio, Indiana and
parts of Illinois, New York and Penn
sylvania, have prepared new freight
tariffs, to become effective December l.,
unless postponed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in which many
schedules are increased.
The new tariffs, which in some cases
amount to an increase of 173 per cent
over those now in effect, will affect
shipments made by manufacturers and
producers Of groceries, furniture,
clothing and other similar commodities.
The larger increases are in rates for
distances not exceeding sixty-five
miles, which are claimed by the roads
to be abnormally low. Six classes Of
freight are affected.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-07

1t remains to be said, however,
that 3 billion dollars worth Of sur
plus goods advanced to our foreign
customers in 1916 will not be half
again as much actual merchandise as
we advanced to them in 1915 nor
double the amount advanced TO them
in 1914. There has been a great rise
in prices. A ton Of steel products,
for instance, counts for perhaps
twice as much money value in the
foreign trade record of this year as
it counted In 1915. Three dollars
worth of goods exported this year
would have been probably not over
two dollars worth the year before.
The sequels may be interesting and
bewildering. We have hardly begun
to take thought of them at all. The
sellers advantage is in high prices
the least amount Of goods for the
largest amount of money. But when
it comes TO receiving payment, his
advantage lies in low prices-the
greatest amount of goods for the
least amount of money. There is the
beginning of the tariff riddle.

Paris. Nov. 6.-The new loan was
quoted on the Bourse to-day at
S7.65, comparing with the issue price
Of $3.50. Thus already there is a
rise in the price of the loan, and 1t
is worth while recalling that the D
ner cent loan issued after the war
of 1870 attained in 1881 the price
of 1920.

duced in France a much different ell

Instead, under threat of the work
men of their demands being grant
ed without question, hardly without
examination, with the Intervention

issued a decree declaring that when

Council, will take all necessary
measures to assure continuity OF
