WEEKLY TOLL OF

British Lose Twenty-Five by
Mines or U-BOatS.
FRUSTRATE MANY ATTACKS

Vigorous Offensive Efforts Germans
Are Putting Forth on All Fronts Be-
lieved to Be Responsible for Siren
uous Efforts on Part OF Submarines.
London, July 27-Twenty-one Brit
ish vessels of more than 1000 tons
each and three of less than / 500 tons
each were sunk last week by mines
or submarines. according to the week
ly admiralty report on shipping losses.
One fishing vessel also was sunk The
admiralty's statement also reports:
Arrivals. 2,791; sailings, 2,791.
British merchant vessels unsuc-
cessfully attacked including three
previously, fifteen"
The announcement of the British
admiralty shows an increase of seven
vessels of more than 1000 tons sent
to the bottom, as compared with the
report of the previous week, when
fourteen were sunk.
In the smaller category the loss is
one less than that given in the report
of the previous week, while there was
a falling off by seven i'm number OF
fishing vessels sunk.
The report of the weeks sinkings of
British merchantmen would have
shown the low record except for a
couple of days when the Germans had
unusual luck Even with these ex-
ceptional days the total is considered
to have been "about normal"
The U-boat losses for the previous
fortnight had been kept down to a
minimum, but for the current week an
upward tendency in the curve would
not have been unexpected in view OF
the vigorous offensive efforts which
the Germans are now putting on al
frcnts and which, no doubt, are re
flected in orders to submarine com
manders to support the land offensive
by strenuous efforts on the subma
rine front"

London, July 27.-A dispatch to the

General Korniloff's drastic measures
to restore order in the Eleventh army,
one whole division thereof was blown
to pieces by its own artillery, to
avenge the insults which all loyal
troops, and especially the artillery,
have silently endured for the past
four months from these traitorous

Big barrel pockets. lend width of silhouette and trim belt holds the fullness in check above the waist.

Another sport motor coat is of black and white tussah sn enormous block checks, with knotted sash of the material cut on the bias. There is a scarf collar of Irish green cloth which may be wrapped around the throat or allowed to fall in long. tasseled ends to the waistline.

Some of the new wells for motoring have soutache embroidered borders; others designed to be drawn neatly under the chin, have patterns, embroidered with white worsted and, silk on the upper part so that the embroidery comes over the front of the motor hat and the face is covered only with fine mesh.

though the lines do not suggest tight ness; and below the waist there Is a decided bulge toward the knees at sides and back, produced by an artful circular cut of the material. Rows of stitching, done with a darker gray sewing silk, at the bulgiest point of the barrel-bu1ge, make the effect un- escapable, and the handsome stitching also decorates the collar. The best motor coats are sewed with silk throughout, in seams and details of finish. No garment should be more carefully finished than a motor coat which must defy .1l weathers and the coat sewed with cheap substitute for silk is apt to look shabby very soon--- after the sun has faded the cheap thread, the dust has collected in the seams because of 1t, and dampness has caused the thread to shrink and puck CT the seams. Women who buy motor coats should be on their guard against such a substitution and insist upon silk sewing throughout. 4
