of the lines instead of going home
to his family, because he knows
that his family does not have the

He really does not care for his
family as do the men of France. "

in the Salem County Court. Salem. n. J.
this morning refused the application
Of the French Hotel Company for ~
cense for the hotel in Pennsgrove,
which for many years was conducted
by Colonel Joseph G. French.
There was a hearing on the appllca-
tlon for the license before Judge Wad-
dington earlier In the week, a strong
remonstrance having been filed against
II. In refusing the application Judge
Waddington did not so into the diies-
tion OF the necessity Of such license
for the Pennsgrove hotel, but refused
the license on the ground that the ap-
plication did not comply with the New
Jersey law, which requires that one
year shall elapse between the time that
one application is refused and another |
one made for a license for the same |
place. II seems that In this case the
application lacked several days OF the |
one-year limit.
The fight for a license for this hotel. |
which has been conducted OF and on
since the license was refused several
years ago. has attracted much attention. /

WASHINGTON. July 2e. - German
losses the past weeks have been 10000
or more. according to a high general
officers estimate to the United Press
today.
He doubted that American casualties
would surpass 25,0o0 or that American
plus British, French and italian would
exceed 100000.
= These figures, presented as an offset
to wild German propaganda claims Of
enormous slaughter OF Americans, In
oludo all casualties which put men
hors de combat. German propaganda
has claimed frst that hundreds OF
thousands OF Americans were killed and
later than tens Of thousands" This
line OF misinformatlon Is seen here as
double attempt 10 cover defeat at
home and TO endeavor TO dlsmsy the
tlmorous in this country.
Secretary Baker himself declared that
the American losses have not been out
OF proportion TO the numbers engaged
or 10 the extent OF the operations In
volved. Answering the German state
ment that the Americans were making
much cannon fodder" Baker re-
torted that they appeared 10 be leading
In that line
Incidentally. the suggestion has been
made TO the secretary that the censors
abroad could well exercise their pre-
rogative OF killing copy when German
propaganda cables as 10 exaggerated
losses or disasters appear The score
tary is understood to feel that the
American people as a whole. take little
or no stock in anything the Germans
say. But II is pointed out that a GER
tain element. including pacinsts, pro.
Germans and the timid. use German
tales to their own ends.
