ADMITS GERMAN FLEET
CANNOT DEFEAT BRITISH
Prussian Naval Expert Thrusts For
ward Some Facts Unpleasant
to Teutons.
BY the Associated Press.


COPENHAGEN. August 4. - Capt.
Perseus. naval expert of the Berliner
Tageblatt, thrust unpleasant heresies in
the faces Of naval enthusiasts in a re-
view Of the third naval year of the war.
He says the superiority of the British
fleet. despite heavy losses, is great
enough to justify its claim that 1t con-
trolls the seas. The German fleet is I'M
equal to meet It.
The high seas fleet in conjunction
with the coast defense guns. sub
able to beat off all attacks and keep the
enemy from the coast. but he adds
warningly, German minds should give
no room to views of an offensive activ-
ity of the fleet, which is based on an
insecure foundation and an improved
hypothesis.
All this fatty contradicts the ad-
miralty view frequently expressed in
official and semi-official reports and in
the emperors Skagerrak message shat
the Germans had decisively defeated
naval critics. except Capt. Perseus. reg
ularly promulgated this thesis and an
outburst of rage by Count Won Revent-
low and Capt. Won kuehlwetter and
others against him Is expected.
Capt. Perseus says that every intelli-
gent German realizes that unrestricted
summarizing must be conducted with all
energy until England realizes 1t is more
profitable to discuss peace than to ac-
cept further losses. but on the other
hand he warns against super-optimism
for too speedy success i'll the sub
marine war. in view of the amount Of
world tonnage and the great shipbuild-
ing possibilities available for the en-
tente.

TO FURNISH $500 MEN DAILY.
New York Officials Estimate Num-
Der for New National Army.

NEW YORK, August with the
draft machinery running smoothly to-
day it was estimated that by Monday.
when all the 1853 exemption boards
would be working. that about 5000 men
would be New Yorks daily average
contribution to the new National Army.
Roscoe Conkling, deputy attorney gen.
eral in charge of the draft here, pre-
dicted that New York city would make
ports indicated. Even with the great
foreign population Mr.. Conkling said
the percentage of men accepted here
would compare favorabky with that of
other cities.
Revised lists of the work done by
thirty-two exemption boards yesterday
showed that 2.724 men had been ex-
amined. OF this number S23 were dis
qualified as physically unfit or as
aliens. OF those who qualified 1.202
claimed exemption or indicated their in
tention of doing so. leaving 500 who
will probably be drafted
Using these figures with those of the
previous day as basis il was estimated
that it will take about three weeks, if
the present rate of progress is main
tanned, for New York to draft the $4,000
necessary to meet its quota and that
before the necessary number was OBJ
tanned.

The export council appears inclined to

tons Of war. but Of foodstuffs and other

uses as much as warships.
Under this construction, the Japanese
shipbuilders can continue to receive

clear understanding as to the use to
which the tonnage is to be applied, and,
very essential consideration, the
freight rates to be charged therefor.
