Fleets Loss Is Felt,
Says German Leader
Head of Largest Shipping
Company Says Americas
Entry Is Severe Blow
The NeW York Tribune
Foreign Press Bnreau


The economic significance of Amer
ica's entrance into the war is empha-
sized by Heineker, the director general
Of the German Norddeutscher Lloyd, in
the recently published year book of
that company.
After devoting few paragraphs to
warning the German people not to COM
nit the mistake of Understanding
America as an enemy, the head of the
Norddeutscher Lloyd, the largest Ger
man shipping company, declares:
Economically, from the point of
view of the German navy, the Ameri-
can Intervention would be folly to
deny it-has been a hard blow to Ger
many. Oar best, indeed, our most
precious vessels, some Of which are in
fact unreplaceable, have been contis-
Gated. And now these vessels are trans
porting t, France and England Amer
icas troops and ammunition. OF
course, it is not merely the Nord-
dcutscher Lloyd which has to suffer
from this measure. The other German
companies have met the same fate. In
addition, the prohibition imposed upon
the agents of German offices to com
municatc with their correspondents has
been no less harmful to the above men
toned companies. The net of lines
which we have established with so
much toll in the United States has been
torn, and it will take years before we
can reOrganize them"

Italian Navy Has Reduced
Losses From Maximum of
II Monthly to 2
Chart Shows Progress
Admiral Del Bono, Minister of
Marine, Calls Present S;tua-
tion Highly Satisfactory
The Ncw York Tribune
FOrei07l Press Bureau


Admiral Del Bono, Italian Minister Of
Marine, iii recent interview with the
irlbuna," Of Rome. expressed his
great satisfaction with the results
achieved by the Italian navy in com
batting German and Austrian sub
marines in the Mediterranean. In
1917 ltaly's losses in tonnage on one
occasion reached as high a figure as
seventeen ships month, but now
these losses havc been reduced to two
ships month, and there is every rea-
son to expect q further improvement
IL italy'a naval position.
While keeping her losses as low as
possible, Italy sees to it that the num-
Der of enemy submarines sent to the
bottom is kept increasing. Only re-
Gently, the minister declared, the Italian
navy has destroyed five enemy subma-
rlncs and captured the crew and equip
ment of one submarine. Discussing
ltaly's naval situation, he said
Discusses Situation
Our naval situation--if we think Of
the daily necessity of our ships to
furnish communications in our seas
and to supply our nation, our expe-
dictionary forces and troops in AL
banla, Macedonia, Palestine, Libia and
Eritrea-could not be more satisfac-
tory than 1t is at present We must
Keep IN mind, in this connection, that

sages which are especially favorable
to submarines lying in wait"
here the Minister of Marine indi-
Gated the Italian losses in tonnage on
chart on which the tonnage lost and
tho months were shown. The line
representing the total sinkines rose
highest in the spring and autumn of
IVY and dropped lowest during the
last lew months.
GU Soc, the minister continued,
that to Offset the quarter from April
tIll June. 1917, which had been the
most serious IL so far as our losses
due to submarines are concerned. there
IS the quarter from April till June of
l9lS. when the line of sinkings has
dropped so low as to make US look with
the greatcst confidence to the future.
Gratifying Results
April, 1917, closed with Il sink
ngs; April, 1913, with sinkings. Dur
lng the month Of May last year we lost
~ ships, in May of the present wear
only i; in June, 1917, we lost 10 ships.
IN June, 1918, only 2 ships, although,
the latter month saw the beginning of
the Austrian offensive on our front.
Usually whenever the enemy begins
greater offensive on land he accom-
panles 1t by greater submarine Of
1ensive. During the month Of October
OF last year the figures Of our sink
'ngss was considerable, Is ships; but
during tho month Of the last offensive
that figure was reduced to not more
than .
This great success is due to several
factors, some of which cannot be men
toned here. Those that can be emu
merated are:
1.-The Increasing vigilance of our
navy, which is incessantly working on
The protection Of our traffic.
The progressive intensification Of

cur snti-submarine defence, which has
resulted in the development Of systems
and services that for peninsuiar and
Insular country like ours arc really
gigantic.
Increased Efficiency
"The increase in the mechanical
means for the hunting of submarines
which Italian industries have succeeded
In furnishing in increasing quantities
and with growing effectiveness.
"The rapid perfection in the system
of excluding submarines from certain
areas.
"The increasing watchfulness against
suspicious individuals who might help
the enemy.
"Thc numerous losses inflicted upon
enemy submarines during recent
months
"And. finally, the bravery and cour-
age Of Our comma nders, of the officers
and the personnel of our merchant
marine, who even under the most diff
attacks of the enemy submarines with
the fire of their guns, with the speed
Of their manoeuvres, with the reso-
luteness Of their counter offensive
conduct. In this way they have not
only been able to avoid being struck
By the torpedoes aimed at them, but
even to compel submarines to give up
their attacks and submerge.
III, defeated by superior forces of
the enemy a merchantmen has to sur
render. our crew often sinks the ship
first TO prevent the enemy getting any
supplies from The ship"
Number Sunk
Discussing the question of the num-
Der of submarines destroyed by the
Italians, the minister said:
Without mentioning the cases where
we have sufficient reason to think that
submarines were hit by our guns. | can
say that the number OF submarines
whose sinking has been ascertained is
indeed considerable
"A short while ago our submarine
U-12, commanded by Lieutenant Mori-
ondo, now promoted to the captaincy,
after engaging in battle an Austrian
submarine, sank it. Another subma-
rine was sunk recently near a canal
which is very much frequented.
1T is only the other day that we
succeeded in sinking, one after another,
two large enemy submarines, the Use
and U-53. From one of these we capt

Just now the ambition of young men

Evidence is not lacking in the Ger

tories of the Allies are having their
effects in Germany. On all sides cries
are raised that if the pan Germans re-
main in contro, of the government

recent issue of the Berlin "Deutsche

leader, declares that Germany will lose

moral offensive against the pan
Germans, pointing out that the cries
of the pan German party are strength
ening the public opinion in Allied
countries and that it is in Germany's
interest to silence the pan Germans.
although the German government is
afraid Of them.
What Caused Defeats.
"Onc gets an idea of the harm done
by the pan German to our cause if one
studies the effects OF Pan-German
literature in England. France and
America and in other countries" he
says. Il have done it, and can assure
you that we are standing here on the
field of many lost battles and cam
paigns.
"lt is the speeches aud the writings
of the pan n-Germans during the last
few decades before the outbreak o
the war and during the war that rep
resent Germany as violent and law
less power. There is not a single pan
German important utterance which
cannot be SUCCESSFULLY employed in or
der to arouse hostility against lis in
the entire world. | sincerely regret
that up to the present the government
has not given serious consideration to
the matter.
Government Held by Fear
Our governments fear of the pan
Germans and of the counter measure
the pan-Germans may take has turned
directly into fright. But that viii nor
help the government.
Either the government will have to
take up the moral offensive against
the pan Germans) and thus help to
win the victory or VIC shall lose this
war; either it will point out that pan
Germans are the only obstacle to peace
or it will completely neglect the moral
offensive"

Sept 3.7Seventy per cent more coke than ever before will be available this year to help solve the fuel shortage This supply will be further increased by the devel- opment of tar coke oven gas and other bi-prOducts. dignified in war times as available fuels. These were some new facts presented to the American institute of mining engineers in session here today in their effort to fill some of the country's needs.
 Pulverized coal to attain the greatest efficiency. was the theme of another subject before the engineers. In one paper it was declared that experiments cover ing a period of eighteen years demonstrated that pulverized coal reduced the consumption nearly 50 per cent.
 The mining engineers were also told That coal mining fin Washing ton had proved less profitable in recent years because of the ex- tensive use of fuel oil. It was predicted that higher prices for fuel oil would increase the mining of coal on the western coast.

Huns Use Lace
 Curtains to Do
 UpMen 'sHurts

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 3, (By the As sociated Press Just beyond Juvigny during their advance the Americans captured a German dressing station and several wounded Germans and rescued two wounded Americans. The rescued Americans had had little food for two days and practically no attention. The Americans did not complain as the German wounded were not given much at- tention either. This was due to the confusion of the retreat and the great numbers of wounded Germans who poured into the sta ton as the Americans advanced.
 In this dressing station quani ties of French lace curtains were found which had been cut into strips for badges and also crepe paper. used for the same pur- pose. The lace had been taken by the Germans from French homes in various sections. sterilized and medicated, cut into strips and roll ed the same as regular bandages. The Germans evidently had been obliged to use it because of the shortage of material in Germany.

Crowder and March Hold Long Conference With Will son Relative to Plan for Older Men
CBy Review Leased wIre)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 3.-No changes are contemplated in the basic rules governing the operation of the draft in the cases of men included under the new age limits. This was indicated today by Provost Marshal General Crowder, who, after going to the. White house with General March. explained that the principles which prevailed in the selection of men be- tween the ages of 21 and 31 would be retained in large measures.
 There will be some changes in the details relating to men engaged in certain industries and more especial ly to men of more mature age included in the new registration. Just what these are the government Is not pre- pared to announce. but 1t is believed that rules to cover all questions that can be foreseen now will be sent to draft boards within few days.
 General March and General Crow der conferred with President Wilson for an hour They were summoned by the president, who wished to fa- miliarize himself with all details of the man power measure and it's proposed method of operation.
 Whether arrangements will be made which will automatically exempt rail road men and coal miners as a body cannot yet be stated. Director Gen eral McAdoo is understood to be in favor of providing some method other than the decision of local boards for exempting essential railroad em- ployes. General Crowder said that un- der present plans the matter of ex- empting this class of workers would be in the hands of the district boards to be taken up by them after the ques- tionnaires have been passed on by the local boards. which, he said. are with out jurisdiction to exempt a regis trant on the ground that he is an es- sential industrial worker. Just what the changes fin detail of selecting those of the higher ages will be. Major Gen eral Crowder was not prepared to say. This information will be forthcoming later. when all the arrangements for making selections are promulgated.

In Some Localities Pass Hin denburg Line While in Others They Traverse Line, Mopping Up

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 3. (By the Associated Press, 4 D. m. )-The British victory in the battle of the DrocOurt-Queant line seems complete. Without having delivered a single counter attack and staggering from the blows administer ed yesterday the Germans last night and this morning were in full flight for the eastern side of the canal Du Nord.
 The enemy is trying to save what men and material he can from the wreck in establishing one of the most powerful defense systems ever de- vised. The much bOasted Drocourt- Queant line, or, as the Germans call it, the Wotan line, is totally shatter- ed. The British are driving far through 1t and the Germans are hurry ing eastward, leaving behind only pockets of machine gunners and even resistance from these is gradually melting away.
 Strong British forces are now fight ing their way down the Hindenburg line itself and are cleaning up as they go. Meanwhile, a little south from here, another force is driving on the Hindenburg line frontally. The Hun has tasted disaster in the Drocourt line battle and now his disorganized and badly depleted forces are work ing fast to prevent an even greater catastrophe overriding them.
 The British are rapidly approaching and are close to the canal Du Nord. the territory behind which is even now under heavy fire from many Bri- tish cannon.
