British Ship Sinks U-BOat TIN Battle
OH Fire Island.

A British transport, arriving at an
American port Tuesday, reported
that she had been attacked by a sub
marine off Fire Island on Monday
morning and had succeeded i'm sink
ing the enemy submersible by gun
fire.
No details of the battle could b.
had, as the transport went to an army
pier at the port of arrival, where
none of her crew was permitted to
come ashore and where visitors were
turned back at the gates by armed
guards
The report, however, comedies with
that brought into an Atlantic port by
q passenger steamship to the effect
that radio calls received on board
the passenger vessel on Monday
stated that an enemy U-boat had been
attacked and sunk" by q British
vessel, west bound.

GERMANS HIDE AIR LOSSES
But Paris Laughs At Their Attempts
At Deception.

Paris is laughing at the absurd
figures of German aeroplane losses
published In the Berlin communique
of August Il, which asserts that the
total losses for July were 129 aero
planes and So captive balloons. The
real figures, as Paris knows them,
show that out of 338 planes doing
duty last month on the French
front alone the Germans lost 293.
Nobody troubles to refer to the loss
g OF "sausages" which undoubtedly
have been similarly minimized.
What IL known here in exact and
indisputable figures IL that since the
beginning Of January the Germans
have lost 1904 areoplanes, as COM
pared with 352 French machines
brought down by them.

latter the war, the principles an
nounced today would constitute a
measure Of what the government
might have to pay for the roads Flu
ture rate making also will be al
fected materially by these railroad

no great changes in its principles in
passing on valuations OF other roads
the figures viii be much lower than
those heretofore set by the com
panics.
The Texas Midland. which has ITO
miles of main track entirely within
Texas was appraised at $31Gl 900
representing the cost of reproduction
new and the cost of reproduction lees
$4,000 depreciation, or the actual
present value, was figured at $25a7-
600. This is considerably lower than
thc railroad company's own estimate
The original cost including all money
spsent on the property to date was
set at S2,S92000.
In determining the cost Of entire
re production the most sisniiican'
figure. interstate commerce engineers
assumed that the road was not in eX-
istencc and other conditions in the
territory through which the road runs
were taken as they existed on tho
valuation date The commission then
prepared what was conceived RS the
most practical and economical pro
gram for construction of the road
Items which make up the physical
property were nyentoried and COS
prices fairly representative of con
.ditions on the valuation date were 8u-
piled. To this was added the cost ol
replacing the items i'm position, in
.cluding engineering and certain othc'
overhead charges This represents
approximately the course to be fol
lowed in other cases.
In estimating interest during con
.struction the commission assumed
that money could be obtained uniform
nv at Il per cent The commission g
method of calculating depreciation
differed fundamentally from that ad
yocated by the railroads, which in
sisted that if property is maintained at
loo per cent efficiency. no deprocia
ton item should be deducted. The
committee took into consideration
the lessening in capacity for service
The commission set forth 81 spc-
cefic explanations Of detailed policies
adopted but it is understood these still
