inc with concern an authoritative an
nonncement on the attitude OF the
United states concerning the pro-
posed purchase of ships of the inter-
national Mercantile Marine corpora
ton. The correspondent of the word
learns this morning from the ministry
of shipping that no official commuhi-
cation has come from the united
states on the subject, and so no COM
ment on news reports is possible.
tThat the United States had refused
to approve of the transfer to BRUSH
syndicate of the American ownership
in the eighty-five ships, with an ae-
gregate gross tonnage of 73O,Voo, now
vested in the international Marine cor
poration, was announced in washington
Nv Rainbridge Colby of the shipping
board on November 26. He also ae.
cIared the United states government
was willing to take over the ownership
Of the vessels on terms of the British
offerl
4 delicate situation is anticipated
whenever the question may come up
officially, for there is apprehension
of American competition in the mer-
chant marine field.
Slip owners say that If the unlteo
states acquires the International Ma
rine fleet there will be great loss
in British interests. especially at TINS
time.
The correspondent of the World
and Journal learns from financial
sources that there has been much DIS,
cussion of late between British ana
American financiers concerning the
fut,ire of American Investments In
British owned concerns. Such invest
ments are strongly urged as furnishing
a means of helping to pay Britain
colossal debts to America.
AT the moment American capital is
nm against stone wall in this re-
spect, owing to the British income tax
regulations. One big deal recently fell
through because American investors
were unwilling to finance BRUSH

London, Dec. Chairman Hurley

The German army made no move
Curing three full weeks since It suf-
fsrsd the very heavy defeat in Elan

90 have been the end OF the second
unsuoeeSsful phase OF it's great Of

niot only TO those who are always
astonished by any novelty in the
0peration Of the war and who always
expect each new phase TO resemble
the last, but It was also surprising
10 those who thought they saw in 1t
svSry element OF certain previous sit
nations.
II IS true that there was q certain
paraileI to the German offensive in
the operations OF last year. At that
time the initiative was with the
allies. their combined offenHives in
Artois and Champagne were checked
before ths middle OF April. and the
next British attack on a large scale
--th6t in front Of Passchendaele, was
Postponed through all the early
summer months, and even to the end
OF July. But that parallel Is neither
exact nor Illuminating.
The great German offensive on the
Bomms was not checked at the out

large measure Of success. Though Il
was held at last. II was not secure

in which another and minor, but new
srtheless Unexpectedly great, success
was again scored in the battle Of
the LyB and was pressed by the Ger
mans In Flanders for full three
weeks at the utmost energy and at
. very high expense in men right up
and past Mt. Kennel Furthermore,
there Is 4 curious point. worthy of
eSmGrk. that the German offensive
IN this case was neither pushed TO
the point OF exhaustion on the
eomms nor was Il deliberately check

sr (for reasons rather political than
strategic) upon the southern or
Lassigny front, or whether there will
be a combination OF attacks here
with renewed attacks on the positions
around Ypres, we know absolutely
nothing. II is useless to speculate.
The only elements OF judgment we
have are the map. with Its Obvious
opportunities. and the fact that no
special concentration of German
troops has been observed beyond the
double density in the north and CEN
ter OF the lines which have been
established now for two months. This
last element Is Of very little value.
because we know from the expert
ence OF last March with what secrecy
and dispatch a special concentration
can be effected by the German high
command.

The third element Is the progress

have strong Indications. First Of

Estimating German
Losses In Soldiers.


The British publish casualty Iists
(which the Germans no longer dol
and by these the folly OF the German
Emperor's statement may be tested.
Some people have argued from his
speech that the German casualties
are really as high as the civilian
rumor In Germany puts them. They
say that he spoke OF an imaginary
British loss Of 100000 in order to on
set the real German loss OF that num-
Der. This conclusion would seem to
be insufhcientiy grounded. When It
Is your object to keep something
secret you may well have to sooths
the public's feelings, and you may
be compelled TO do so by exaEgera-
tion at the expense OF making q fool
of yourself abroad, though saving
your face at home. So until we have
much more evidence before us we
must make up our minds that the
enemy's losses from the beginning OF
his offensive eight weeks ago were
at least 100000, to which minimum
the civilian rumor in Germany adds
no less than 30 per cent. and to which

have said that there aer oppor-
tunIties quite clear from the map and
quite patent to all. but IL may be
worth while to recapitulats. The
essential feature of advantage TO the
enemy from his otherwise ill-drawn
and accidental line across the west
ern front Is created by the valley OF
the Somme and the main railway
which follows II. The advanced line
produced by the enemy's success Of
two months ago cramped the efforts
OF the allies everywhere north OF
Amiens. Nowhere IL there here more
than nifty miles between the lighting
front and the coast, or the unbridged
lower valley OF the Somme.
The proximity TO Paris cramps the
allied defense in only less degree TO
the south OF Amiens. In a word, the
enemy has created the situation in
which there IL very little room for
our defensive forces to maneUver.
That Is his great asset. His third
plan. whatever It is for this third

failure OF his second plan condemned
him. must necessarily turn on that
advantage.
Unless the enemy Is prepared for
political reasons, or because his
losses are much greater than we be-
lieve, to abandon his enterprise. the
next stage OF that enterprise will
show the utilization OF this oppor-
tunity which the fortune OF battle
gave him two months ago. Should
he exercise sufficient pressure
should he be able to do $50 as to
compel any considerable retil ement
on the part Of the allied forces. then
that retirement will have far more
effect than IL would have had for
an equal distance from the old line.
There Is no room for the elastic de-

On the other side of the account
is the eternal question OF men. "Ex-
ercising pressure" especially if we
mean by that phrase a tremendous
ly rapid and intensive blow delivered
by some instrument or by the hst,
is immensely expensive in men. A
much better metaphor than that OF
the hrst would be that OF some sub
