line.
 But, how great are our losses?' in- terrupted Deputy Zlinsky.
 sThe number of prisoners taken was recently stated to be 1S,0oo," the premier replied 'I must, however, correct that statement. The truth is that the Italians have taken 12,00O, while 50,000 Italians fell into our hands. In the case of an offensive and retreat these figures can not be termed excessively high. Much sadder is the loss we suffered in dead, wounded and sick; mostly sick. In the tenth and eleventh Italian offensives we lost S0,0Oo to 100000 men. Now, however, our losses are similar, about 100000 men" Great excitement in the chamber marked this declaration. The premier continued:
 BRIDGES CARRIED AWAY
 q am obliged to record this regret table circumstance. It is true that Of three bridges thrown across the Piave the uppermost unfortunately collapsed and then both of the others were carried away with it. This figure includes the fallen, the slightly wounded and those . brought back as neffectves.
 X great uproar interrupted the premier and there were cries of They were all Hungarians." When quiet was restored Premier Wekerle continued:
 1T mention these figures in order to describe the situation with perfect sin cerly. Also because our enemies will certainly portray these losses in an ex- aggerated fashion and perhaps also our public opinion.
 DIVISION OF FORCES
 There are also rumors circulating that CT this occasion also Hungarian troops were called upon in excessively large nunbers and that the losses fell upon them only. Therefore, I must point out that g. Hungarian and 37 Austrian fegi- ments participated in the entire offensive and retreat, or 47 percentage Hungarian and 5 percentage Austrian.
 In the entire advance and retreat the Italian losses amounted to 150U00. fal -xsurpassiils our losses in dead, wounded and SICK.
 "A report also is being circulated thai ,,,r losses were due to a lack of am munition-"
 PLENTY OF AMMUNITION
 A deputy shouted Lack of food.
 The premier replied to this by declar ing that "our army never was so wei provided with ammunition as during th' middle of June.
 " Tt is true,' the premier added, una of three bridges thrown acfoss the Piave the uppermost unfortunately collapsed and then both of the others were car ried away with it. Thus, unsurmountapi difficulties arose in bringing up. sprovi sions during the sensational retreat which was followed according to tn regular plan and only few troops wn remained behind who covered the re treat fell into Italian hands. The entlr retreat was carried out in such an or derlv and unobserved manner that tn Italians continued their attacks on ou former positions.
 If. despite these regrettabie events Adraw deductions from the whole It IS nc

 ap- losses on the Italians and prevente \n from sending considerable pal 0f Abeir troops to the western ron .wuicHA in the interest of the common cor duet ok the war is undoubtedly the ot iectiye (which it was our duty to attaii This ainA too, we attained"

Investigation of criticism by Gen.
Pershing and others Of the De Hav-
Hand airplane. now being produced
in the United States for use by the
overseas forces. was started today
by the Senate military subcommittee
which recently completed an inquiry
into aircraft production. Three Army

and it is expected the hearings will
continue for week or ten days.

in several accidents: insufficient fuel

PHILADELPHIA CROWDED
AS WAR WORK EXTENDS

PHILADELPHIA. July 30.-This city
is crowded as never before. The in
f1ux of strangers from all parts of the
United States to toll in shipyards. mu-
nitions plants and in other places
where government work is being done
has greatly intensified the housing
problem.
Few houses are available for rent
ers. A ITO Let" sign is scarcely ever
seen except in sections well removed
from the industrial plants.
Because of the high cost of building
materials relatively few houses are
going up, apart from those being con-
structed by the government for ship
yard operations until after the war.
Withal the problem of finding ac-
comm modations for every one is slowly
being solved. and after a time many
families who have been forced to
share homes with others probably will
be able to get places of their own.
Rents, in keeping with other things.
in some instances. Steps have been
taken to prevent profiteering. but
there has been no governmental OBJ
lection to advances where conditions
warranted them.
Perhaps no other city in the country
CdH CidLIl 50 large d HuinDeT OF prop.
erty owners as Philadelphia. Real es-
tate men figure that within the past
year more homes were purchased here
than in the three preceding years.
Where it was formerly possible to
clear a real estate transaction in a
few weeks, it now requires as many
months. Clerks in title and trust COM
pany offices have been compelled to
work nights. as well as days, and even
then they have been unable to keep
abreast of their task.
Because of the keen demand for
homes real estate valuations have in
creased many millions, and official fig
ures, which will be published later on,
are expected to show phenomenal in
creases over those of 1917
The abnormal inquiry by homeseek-
ers is attributed to the high wages
paid to men engaged in government

RECORD D-BREAKlNG SALES
OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Total Of $5s,o55,ooo Invested,
Throughout United States, the
Past Week, Is Report.

Earlier records Of war savings and
thrift stamps receipts were broken by
the sales Of these baby bonds" dur
ing the past week throughout the
United States. according to an an
nouncement by the Treasury. The
sales last week totaled $5s.055.000.
which weekly yield is about equal to
that Of the entire month OF June. 1t
is largely a result of the nationwide
drive the latter part Of June to obtain
pledges for systematic investments in
war savings stamps.
Aggregate revenue to the govern
ment from millions of these small
savings il expected to reach $500. .00o.-
900 for July, or nearly four times the
highest rate heretofore.
The war savings organization esti-
mates that 100000 persons now are
saving systematically through pur-
chase of thrift or war savings stamps.
indicating that about one-third of the
