THINKS WAR WILL
NOT END BEFORE
EIGHTEEN MONTHS
AUDIENCES WITH TALK AT
alta YESTERDAY.

The hell Of trench warfare in
France" was the theme yesterday of
Sergeant Doc" Wells, one-armed
survivor of the Battle of Ypres who
addressed packed houses at the Alta
theater His lecture of the war was
illustrated by some splendid films
showing scenes in the trenches. in
training camps, hospitals. with the
flying corps and with the fleets. He
was given an enthusiastic reception
and the British flag and the Canadian
troops were cheered TO the echo as
they were flashed on the screen.
Sergeant Wells concluded his lee
ture with passionate appeal to Am
ericans to support their boys who
are going TO the front. The first
Red cross contribution was a gener-
GUS one. he said. but the war Will
not be won until the great mass OF
the people at home have learned
what it is to deny themselves that
the agencies of mercy at the front
may save the wounded and aid the
dying.
He estimated that the war will not
be over inside OF IS months. He
thinks the entrance of America Will
be a great factor in winning a VIC
tory for the allies You will be
proud Of your boys at the front" he
said ct have fought side by side
with Americans and I know the KIND
OF fighting men they are"
Besides the actual pictures taken
bv the Canadian official photograph
er. there were war relief maps show
ing the Battles of Jutland. Ypres and
Somme, even to the movement of the
fighting units.
Sergeant Wells told something OF
his own experiences in the Battle Of
Ypres. OF things he observed in his
fellow fighters, in the engagement
in which he was wounded. or MS
CAPTURE. OF having his arm amputateo
nv a German surgeon. OF heins
nursed hack to life by Belgian
nun of life in German prison
camp and of his experience durine
the four months he was with the
Germans. His opinion Of the food
the Germans serve their prisoners is
not very high one.

ELEVEN TIMES MORE
j. S. SHIPS SUNK IN
1917 THAN BEFORE

WASHINGTON. July 6.-American
shipping losses due to submarines
during the first six months of 1915.
amounted to eleven times the total
losses of previous years. DR.. William
Delano chief of the United States
war risk insurance bureau, told the
United Press since the first of this
year the bureau has insured SAL
$4,000 of cargoes, with loss of So
100000.
Previously the bureau lost only
$500. 600 due to submarines.
SALVAGE Is SMALL.
Since the beginning of the war, the
total salvage of vessels sunk amount
ed to only $59,055.
Millions of dollars is saved to AM
erican exporting firms monthly by
the bureau insurance rates. On
SS2s OOO, 600 worth of cargoes so far
insured, the rate is little less than :
- per cent. American insurance
firms as a rule are refusing to insure
cargoes entering the war zone. but
when they are willing to take the
risk the premiums run higher than
Is per cent. To date the bureau
has not lost one dollar on the insur-
ance of seamen and officers under
the provisions of the new $5o.0O0,O 600
war risk bill. II is estimated that
before the war is terminated about
slS. 600 seamen viii be insured at an
average Of $500 each. The cost OF
fnsuring is borne by the owners ot
the vessels
