SIX BILLION LOSS
IN CARGO SHIPS
Is Estimated AS Germany's Toll
of the War. AS Result of
Losses Sweeping Reduction in
Imports to Be Made.

Westinghouse economic
toll in cargo ships sunk by her sub
marines during the war totals more
than $4,000 900, 900 to date, officials
= here estimated today. The value of
tonnage sent to TIE bottom is based on
ship losses just made public for the
first time by the British admiralty.
The losses, it is estimated would be
diveded as follows:
Cost of reproducing ships sunk, So
100000 and probable cargo value be-
tween $3,000,000,000 and $4,000, 900, 900
more.
OF these losses it is estimated the
1917 total will exceed $500, 100000.
In comparatively small area about
the British Isles lies most of this great
treas re of ships and merchandise, in
Guiding millions in gold and silver bull
lion.
Sharp Restrictions.
AS a result of the sweeping losses
frankly admitted now by Allied of
ficials, the government is preparing
to announce sEarp restrictions of i'm
ports. Investigation of imports sta
tistics shows that 100000 tons of
cargo space was devoted to Injuries

ing a list of what may be regarded as
non essential imports and exports sub
ject to curtailment in the governments

Fruits and nuts constitute big
item in The luxury trade. Coffee
brought into the United States from
Brazil in 1917 occupied sos, 481 tons of
shipping space-and most certainly
will be reduced under the proposed
plan. Raw silg occupied 1926 tons.
Drastic SIashing.
Millions Of dollars worth of fruits,
nuts, perfumes, cosmetics, laces and
embroideres, furniture, ostrich feath-
ers, ornaments, hats and clothing, to
say nothing Of ivory and other non
ea sentials, will soon feel the drastic
slashing Of the American government.
Everything now depends on tonnage
and the people will soon get a diff

Today is Anniversary Of AS
sassination of Archduke
Which Started the
War.
GERMANY HAS FAILED
Ambitious Dreams OF International
Outlaws, Can Never Be
Realized by
Force.

tBy J. w. T. Mason, United Press War
Expert
NEW YORK, June 2S.-Four years
ago today Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
was assassinated by Servian fanatics.
In revenge for this crime, Austria
Hungary tried to make a vassa1 state
of Servia, and thus gave to the Ger.
man militarists an opportunity to
bring about the world conflict which
they had long been planning for the
time when they could be sure of the
dual monarchy's support as an active
and willing ally.
This was the cause OF the war. On
the fourth anniversary of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand's murder, the Ger
man mititarists are gathering together
in anxious conclave because the ter
man government has been compelled
to declare to the reichstag that peace
cannot be won on the battle held. It
has required three years and eleven
months Of fighting to extort this con-
fession from Germany. The vast
dreams of pan-German ambitions that
made international outlaws of the Ho-
henzoIlern warriors, cannot be reaIiZ-
ed by force of arms.
The German military machine which
was ready for instant brigandage on
the assassination of Franz Ferdinand
Is no longer able to keep up its bold
front Of assured victory. The machine
has failed. Won Kuehlmann the third
foreign minister whom Germany has
called to srbservient office under the
nilitarists during these last four years
has declined to conceal any longer
from the German people the fatal de-
feet of the machine which is so relent-
less in its futile sacrifice of German
man power.
The four years from Franz Ferdi-
Eand to Won Kuehlmann. mark the
shattering of the Hohenzollern anbi
ton to rule the world by force of
arms. There probably will be further
painful efforts by Won Hindenburg to
rehabilitate the reputation of the Ger
man army. They will be in vain.
Won Kuehlmann's words are ringing
throughout Germany, not to be forgot
ten. They soon viii be ringing in the
ears of the soldiers who will then
know that in every future German Of
fensive they are dying in vain for VIC
tory.
Four years after Ferdinand's death,
disquiet has gripped Germany. De-
is the next condition the
kaiser must face unless he publicly
ebandons the worship OF mlltar1s1n-

only foundation for this is the preva-

accompanied sometimes by a high

Another misleading rnnnor is that
dissatisfaction Is rampant In the
German army and that the high COM

Germans are beginning to realize that
their battle plans are less Godin'

lieve, but their discipline is such they
still march when they are told to.

Hindenburgs delay is due to in

prisoners from Russia-he must
