Washington, Aug. 5.-Senators OF the
military committee who asked General
March. chief OF staff. II he had any
estimate OF the American casualties in
the resent fighting were told that the
government had absolutely none,
General March told the senators and
also the Washington correspondents
in response, to questions, substantially
what Secretary Baker said in his state
ment Friday night: that General Per-
shins was under difficulties of gather
ing the names from many hospitals,
some OF them French and British, over
a wide area, and that it had as yet
been physically impossible to gather
the list.
One Of the senators asked what the
extent Of casualties already reported
to the war department was and Gem
eral March replied that it was between
1900 and 1900. This is the sum total
of all casualties announced to date by
the war department. It is the total as
given in the departments weekly pub
lished summary.
This statement was made the vehicle
Of sensational reports sent out from
Washington to the effect that General
Pershing had reported to General
March that he estimated at $4,000 the
American casualties in the recent fight
ing.
Senators who attend the conference
and war department officials generally
denounced the published report as mis-
leading in every way 1t was reiterated
officially and stated specifically by
General March that General Pershing
had made no estimate.

London.-The series of receptions

receiving in Belfast does not appear
to promise well for harmonious So

near future. Sir Edward made
speeches there February 2 strongly

Those pledges were to fight against
home rule or a separation from the
union of Great Britain to the last

Sir Edward arrived in Belfast Feb.

streets that were decorated in his
honor and received a formal welcome
from the mayor in behalf of listers

from several thousand assembled per-

The Belcher mine, north of Repub-

per-gold ore, has been purchased by
Frank Babcock of Evan, Wash. The
price was $4,000. A valuation of ST.
100000 was placed on the property
several years ago, but this is believed
to have included the Belcher Noun
tain railway. This part of the prop
erty was not included in the present
sale. About 5000 feet of work has
been performed in the mine. Only
about 5000 tons of ore were shipped
in 1917.
An option for control of the stock
of the Blue Star Mining Co. at stat
ed figure of 100000 was taken last
week by Henry Isolata and Isaac Pc

Flour-Thew eek in flour closed
without a change that might be called
favorable for the millers. The demand
exceeded the supply, and those taking
flour were willing to absorb any
amount offered. Millers were called
on for both small lots and car lots
and it looks as if stocks of the whole
salers and dealers are about exhaust
ed. The stock of -four in all positions
is the lightest in the history of the
country. In addition to this, millers
have sold their output as far ahead as
permitted by the government, and
many of the larger handlers are bad
ly in need of -four Bakers say it is
impossible to secure even a fair-sized
lot of flour in any position, and those
wanting -four must take any that is
offered whether it is a special kind or
not. Values show no change, as flour
is sold at the government fixed prices.
There was more barley flour being
made and more selling in that than
before, and the same may be said of
rye flour.

tionary and the demand is very good.
Stocks are very small, as country
