Difficult to Estimate.
It is difficult 70 estimate how much
merchant tonnage has been sunk in
the war. Captain PerSius, leading
German writer. declares the total
amount of allied and neutral shining
destroyed by the Teutons up to April l
last was G,641. 900 tons. This is I'M
doubtedly an extreme statement and
allied estimates are much smaller.
Adding 100000 tons each for the
hVe months of ruthless warfare since
April l to Persius' estimate we get
a total of about 100000 tons. This
is very rough approximation. The
German information must be imper-
feet, because submarines often do
their work hurriedly and their com
are not exactly sure what |
they are sinking. Moreover. the Ger
mans cannot have precise information |
as to the destruction by mines, which |
has been large
On the allied side the totals of sink
ngs are not given out in such a form
hat satisfactory calculation of the
total can be made; but the volume of
exports and imports at important
points shows that the entente nations

Designers Of apparel for stout wom-
en- are confronted with two problems :;
one, to make accepted styles becoming
to full figures and the other to create
styles exclusively for them. The first
problem takes most of their time and
thought, for all women like to dress in
the mode, and the perverse modes coa-
tfnue to be designed for the simness
OF youth. But specialists are doing
more than their bit toward making life
happy for women whose figures have
rounded out to the fullness Of matron-
hood.
Just how successfully they can de-
sign becoming clothes Is set forth in
the costume of wool and satin shown

per part of the sleeves are of satin, the

fabrics. Every line in this model

The American Red Cross is organ

Besides the permanent equipment of

FIGHT HOOKWORM IN BRAZIL
American Physicians Given Free Hand
for Campaign in the interior
of Republic.

Rio de Janeiro.-ThrouGh the efforts
of Dr. Charles Seidle. director of the
public health department. and Drs.
Lewis Wendell IIackett and George
Stone Of the Rockefeller foundation,
the government has given the Ameri-
can institution free hand to wage a
campaign on the hookworm in the in
terror of Brazil.
The percentage of inhabitants of the
outlying districts afflicted with this dis
ease is high, according to health de-
partment officials.
Creditable work has already been
done by the American physicians and
it is believed the proposed campaign
will be of inestimable value in the
stimulation of agricultural enterprise.

shows careful thought on the part OF
its creator. The straight hanging satin
skirt adds nothing to the size Of the
hips. A little carefully disposed full
ness in the overskirt straightens the
line from bust to hips and the pockets
are placed where they will not widen
the figure. BY extending the over
dress into points at the sides an al
most straight line is achieved from
neck to hem. The point ON the deep
cuffs makes the sleeves shapely and
the narrow collar and short shoulder
seam lessen the width of the shout
ders.
Rows of small buttons on the sleeves
and ON the front of the overdrapery
center the eyes on straight lines. Sou
tache braid makes dignifed finish
and with the pockets preciaims the
designers allegiance to prevailing
modes.

German Hopes of Forcing Victory
Through Starvation of Allies
Are Falling.
DANGER NOT ENTIRELY over
Germany Said to Be Building More
and Bigger Submarres-No En-
gagement Between Big Naval
Vessels During Third Year.

New York.-On the sea the third
year of the war has not Witnessed q
single major engagement between bic
wArshipS, but the center of the stage
has been taken by submarine opera
tons unprecedented in the history of
| the world. on which the Germans adj
mittedly depend for victory.
Adopting the famous American Ad-
miral Mahnn's theory that all great
wars are decided by sea, the German
war leaders decided they could make
| up for the lack of decision on land
by cutting the water supply lines of
the allies and forcing Il victory
through starvation.
Enough has been experienced Of the
submarine warfare, however, to con-
vince the entente nations they can
retain their vigor in spite of 1t. Fall
Ing hopes of success are plainly per-
ceptible in Berlin.
Submarine sinkings were numerous
last summer rising, according to Ger
man accounts. to 4O9,500 tons in No
vember and 439, 500 tons in January
last. With the Inauguration of ruth
less submarine warfare on February
l, German speakers declared the sink
ings would climb to over million
tons month and would continue to
grow.
Instead Of showing a regular and
alarming increase, however, the list
of ships sunk has risen and fallen ir-
regularly and now shows signs of
sinking to the rate of the period be-
fore Germany announced she would |
sink friend or foe without warning.
The number Of British ships of over
1000 tons announced sunk weekly
from March was as follows: ii, 10,
l6, Is, IS, IT, 10, 40, SO, "a, IS, IS, 10,
IS, %, 81. q, Is, II.
Allies Worried at First.
The submarines for a while had the
allies distinctly worried. That was
In the two weeks of March. when 40
and 50 British ships of over 1000 tonst
we're acknowledged sunk If this rate
lad kept up Germany might well have
won the war or forced draw. De
soon fell to less than half
his rate however.
The change was due to the in
'reased proportion of merchantmen
rmed. to the clearing of the seas of
lower craft, to better defensive and
offensive methods on the part of tie
llied patrol and to the aid of an
american destroyer fleet operating off
he coast of Ireland and in the steam
oat lanes between the United States
nd France.
