(By Review Leased Wire.)

BOSTON, June 29.-The torpedoing and sinking of four large British car go-carrying steamers was announced in advices to local insurance offices to- day. The steamers were the Ultonia, of the Cunard Line. 6.593 tons; Haver- ford of the American Line, 7,493 tons; Buffalo, Wilson liner, 2,5S3 tons, and the Manistee, another Cunard vessel No details of the losses were given and no mention was made of the fate of the crews.
 It was believed by steamship agents here that some or all of the steam ships may have been included in the list of sinkings announced from Lon don. Wednesday night.
 The Ultonia and Manistee, it was said, were bound with cargoes of grain and other food supplies from New York to English ports and the Buffalo was returning from Hull for New York. The Haverford has been engaged in the Philadelphia-Liverp service but there was no information at hand tonight to show where she was bound when torpedoed.

 "The Russian revolution, beneficient as it undoubtedly is. great as will be its results both this year and even more hereafter, undoubtedly has had the effect of postponing complete vic tory.
 Russia" the premier proceeded, "was now free and unfettered and when her distractions passed away, would be more powerful and more formidable than ever. Meanwhile France, Italy and Great Britain had to bear a greater share of the burden.
 Russia Is Gaining.
 "The strength of Great Britain once more flung into the breach. has once more saved Europe and human liberty.
 But now Russia is gaining strength every day, It is capable, there has never been better one, and her freedom in the future will be in SplTeu Dl lTeeuOIH-
 America, always the mainstay of freedom. is beginning to send her val iant sons to the battle field to rally around the cause of humanity. Vic tory is now more certain than ever.
 "Our shipping losses during May and June were heavy but there were hundreds of thousands of tons beneath the admiralty forecast.
 'I have no hesitation in saying that if we do our part the German sub marines will be almost as great fail ure as the German Zeppelins. We are beginning to get them.
 lIf we do not waste. we will not starve. We have succeeded in increas- ing the food supply and are engaged in a great shipbuilding program for fighting and for carrying purposes.
 'If every employer and every work man will pull together. between them they will pull us through.
 Appeals To People.
 Europe is again drenched with the blood Of its bravest and its best, but do not forget the great success of hal lowed causes. They are the Stations of the Cross on the road to emanci- patton of mankind.
 'T again appeal to the people of this country and beyond that they should continue to fight for the greater goal of international rights and information al justice so that never again shall brute force to sit on the throne of jus tice nor barbarous strength wield the sceptre over the world"

Problem of Equipment Puzzles Officials

There has been much speculation but no authoritative announcement as to the use to be made Of the national guard. The existing units and tEose new ones that are ready for federal inspection and recognition, comprise the skeleton of Is infantry divisions. Under present distribution by states, however, there would TO. be mere tha1 four or five divisions complete enough to deserve that name.
 It seems likely that redistribution and consolidation of the force must be undertaken soon after they pass into the federal service under the draft clause of the national defense act Probably 12 or more complete infan- try divisions then could be organized.
 One-Third Veterans.
 At full war strength the existing regiments would represent a total force of probably 35O,O0O men. Of that number at least one-third are filed with seasoned troops who already have had six or eight months of intensive
