One thing stands out sharply. despite
the fact that the size of the task that

enterprise has set a new record Ior

arrival of the men. Despite the enor-
nous difficulties of unpreparedness and
submarine dangers that faced them. the
plans of the Army General Staff have
gone through with clock-like precision.
When the order came to prepare I'M
mediately an expeditionary force to go
to France. virtually all of the men
now across the seas were on the Mex-
can border General Pershing himself
was at his headquarters IN San An
tonic. There we're no army transports
available in the Atlantic. The vessels
that carried the troops were scattered
on their usual routes. Army reserve
stores were still depleted from the
border mobilization. Regiments were
below war strength.
That was the condition when Presi-
dent Wilson decided that the plea of
the French High Commission should
be answered and a force of regulars
sent at once TO France. At this word
the War Department began to move.
General Pershing was summoned quiet
ly to Washington. His arrival created
some speculation in the press. but at
the request of Secretary Baker the
newspapers generally retr&ined from
discussion OF this point.
There were a thousand other activi-
ties afoot in the department at the
time. All the business of preparing for
the military registration OF ten million,
of providing quarters and instructors
for nearly $4,000 prospective officers,
for finding arms and equipment for

Among the Victims
Officials Confident, but Not
Optimistic, About End of
Ruthless Warfare

London. Jane 27.-The destruction
wrought by German U-boats among
British shipping diminished somewhat
last week. Admiralty figures issued
here to-day showed that twenty-eight
British merchantmen Of all classes
we're sunk either by submarines or
mines-twenty-on of them vessels
above 1900 tons and seven Of them
smaller cvaft. For the second week IN
succession no fishing boats were sunk
Though the average of sinkings re-
mains high, the losses show net fall
ing off of four as compared with the
losses reported for the previous week,
which numbered thirty-two-twenty-
seven o. more than 1900 tons and hve
in the smaller class. In the larger
category a decrease of six vessels, or
approximately 10000 tons, is shown,
which the increase of two among the
smaller craft would not offset
Period of Activity Ends
Last Sunday also marked the close o'
a three weeks period or renewed sub
marine activity. During that time 1O2
British merchantmen of all classes
were sent to the bottom, which, allow
ing an average of 5000 tons to the
larger ships and 1000 to the smaller,
would represent about 422, 900 tons loss.
During a period of similar but great
er activity covering the end Of April
and the beginning of May the number
of ships sunk reached 1872, with tom
rage of $4,000. The difference in ton
mage is $4,000, which leads naval au-
thorities here to view the present situa-
ton with comparative equanimity,
though there is no inclination to in
dulge in easy optimism or to assume
that the end Of the ruthless U-boat
warfare is in sight.
During the week 5.79S ships Of all
nationalities arrived at or cleared from
ports in the British Isles. The number
of British merchant-craft unsuccess-
fully attacked by the submarines is re-
ported as %. but as Of these wer
cases not previously reported, the
U-boat activity shows falling of in
this direction also. Among the ships
sunk one of the larger vessels and one
of the smaller class were cases of de-
struction not previously reported.

The fuctuation in the sinkings Of
British Vessels from week to week since

An Incident of Allowing
German Underwriters to
Continue Business
England Shut Them
Up When War Began
Kaiser's Subjects Here Have
Information Newspapers
Cannot Print

In defence of the Federal policy
under which insurance companies owned
in Germany and managed in this coun-
try by German citizens continue to do
business, keep themselves in full touch
with vital shipping information and
actually underwrite the risk of Ameri-
can ships and cargoes being destroyed
by German U-boats, it is said:
CD That but for the insurance sup
piled by these enemy companies there
would not be enough to supply the de-
mand, and (2) that, anyhow, they are
under observation.
Critics Of the governments policy of
toleration emphatically disbeleve that
the richest country in the world must
needs rely upon a few million dollars
of German capital to help insure its
ships against German U-boats. Be-
sides, underwriting is a profitable bust
ness for capital.
As to the enemy companies being
under observation, that is merely TO
prevent them from transferring their
funds to Germany, which, for the pres
ent, is physically impossible thing

Obtain Inside News of Ships

The situation in this country pre-
sents some amazing contradictions.
For example, German owned marine
underwriting concerns, managed IN
New York by enemy aliens, are allowed
in the course of their business to re-
ceive information about ships and car
goes which the American newspapers
could not print without opening them
selves at once TO the charge OF expos
ing information of military value 10
the enemy.
There is something even more IN
consistent than this. Recently Ameri-
can marine underwriters have com
planned in vain to Washington against
the purchase Of German insurance by
the United States government itself.
Instances Of that are known.
Fancy the United States government,
a, war with Germany over the U-boat,
askinp German underwriters to insure
ITS own ships against German destrue-
tion,

What Great Britain Learned

From the report on the subject pre-
pared b. W. Watson Rutherford, VI. +"
and approved by the Commercial Com
mittee of the House of Commons, the
following is taken
"Beforc the war Germany and Aus
tria Hungary had made great progress
in the matter Of insurance, not only IN
their own countries, but IN the whole
world. They had made a specially OF
reinsurance and had established forty
seven large companies exclusively fof
reinsurance which made large profts
in Great Britain. France. Italy, etc.
"Thev had gained this remarkable
position (a) by their perfect organiza-
ton, (b) by their system of CONNER,
oial spying, (c) by controlling and
financing companies pretending TO be
Italian, Russian, etc, and (d) by their
system Of appointing as agents OF their
reinsurance companies the sons and
sons-in-law of the directors of insur-
ance companies in France, Belgium, etc
"Their system OF companies solely
devoted TO reinsurance gave them
basic knowledge OF the trade move
ments of other countries and the par
ticulars of almost every commercial
transaction in the world. the name OF
the manufacturer. the name of the
merchant, the name of the buyer, the
price. the class of goods. and the des-
tination. 4 few days later all this in
