Washington, Nov. 3.--The navy de-
partment has been advised that a picket

men are lost.
The navy department issued this
statement:
THE navy department announces
that on October 30, the picket boat of
the United States ship Michigan 1oun-
dered. Apparently, the entire crew was
lost. The finding of the bodies OF
three of the crew and failure to FIND
any other trace Of the boat or its occu-
pants leads the department to believe
that all were lost"
Presumably the fast little picket boat
was on patrol duty and foundered In
heavy sea or met with some other acci-
dent.
The catastrophe occurred in home
waters.

SOLDIERS FOR SAME
COST OF ONE IN u. S.

Washington, Nov. S.-Germany Is
putting 14.3 soldiers into the field for
the same amount of money which the
United States Is paying for a single
fighting man according to calculations
today OF government experts. They
said the same general proportion was
true OF maintaining the armies In the

London, Nov. 3.-Most of the morEint;
newspapers print Premier Kerenskys
Interview with the Associated Press con.
spicuously. but comment is not general.
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph. who is now in Lon
don. writes:
Premier Kerensky's statement seems

~ in some quarters. 1t even has been
construed as a hint that Russia is toy.
ing with the idea of a separate peace.
This theory should not be allowed to es.
tablish itself.
Probably all Kerensky wished was TO
indicate facts familiar to close students
Of Russia for some time, and they are
such as to arouse sympathy rather
than suspicion.
Is Really Worn Out.
1T is true that Russia is worn out,
and IL has been true for a much longer
time than has elapsed since the out.
break of the revolution. Unfortunately,
until that event. military exigencies pre-.
vented the truth from being told about
Russia's share in the war. which has
been greatly underestimate. The es-
sential fact is that what Russia hal

sacrifice in men that Russia has made

He believes that the Russian casual
ties have been higher than those OF any

Dying Of Hunger.
The writer also emphasizes the priva.
tons of the civilian population and the
shortage Of food since the middle of
1915. and adds:
Already people are dying of hunger
in some OF the northern provinces, and
ii is not pleasant to think what the sit.

wants apparently is not a release from
the bonds which unite us. but indul.

can ask of her is to do her best. We
