graph dispatch from Copenhagen.

% Lives and s8OOO,OOO
Lost ON Great Lakes II, 1919

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 20.-Ninety-
fhree deaths and a loss to shinping of
from s6,000,0oO TO SS,000.000 in the dis
aster toll Of the 1918 shipping season
on the Great Lakes, according to fig
ures compiled here. The loss Of life
was unusually heavy. due to the drown
ing of seventy eight men Of the t1o
French mine sweepers that disappeared
in gale on Lake Superior on No
vember o. Loss to shipping was the
ightest in many years.
Four vessels were sunk in collision,
five foundered in storms, and the Cong
don, one of the largest new ships on
the lakes, went to pieces on Canoe
Rocks, near Passage Island, Lake Su-
perior, with it's cargo of grain, involv-
ing a loss of Sl,500,000.
The two French mine sweepers. Ceri-
solles and lnkarman, ocean bound from
Fort William, Ont, became separated
from their feet and disappeared like
shadow craft, with an estimated loss of
$2,OO0,OC0
In 1913 three vessels were raised,
including the whaleback Henry Cort,
sunk in Lake Erie in December, 1917.
War restrictions on such commodities
as coal, and the transfer OF large YES
sells to ocean service, made traffic light
er than during the previous four years.
Traffic through the Sault Ste. Marie
locks aggregated S5,6S0.327 tons, the
lightest in four years, with a combined
registered tonnage of 61,1QQ,244, the
lowest since 1915. Total passages were
20,610, the lowest in four years.
Copper shipments were light in 1918,
but iron ore shipments were unusually
heavy. Marine men predict that new
high tonnage record viii be esta blished
neXt season. starting with the big
grain movement down the lakes in the
spring. They declare that greater
quantity Of grain is stored in the holds
of ships on the lakes this winter than
ever before in Great Lakes navigation
history.
The fourth United States government
lock at Sault Ste. Marie, the largest in
the world, was practically completed
this season.

ulations.
To-day, however, the house and shop
fronts of Inter den Linden, from the
Pariserplatz to the Opera House, were
one continuous billboard appeal to the
voters. The much advertised paper
shortage with which the publishers
have been forced to contend hardly an
peared to be an actuality in the light
OF the mass of campaign literature
WITH which Berlin has literally been
choked for the last few days. The ma
lorlty Socialists alone are reported to
have distributed 30,O0O,O0o dodgers. in
addition to wall-papering the city With
myrlads of posters.
Many Meetings Held
The Entente apparatus of the gov
ernment was set in motion for the
majority Socialist campaign, which was
easily the most effective of any carried
on for to-days historic election of
members of the National Assembly
In addition to having the strategic ad-
vantage of governmental control, the
ocheldemann party was more adept at
campaigning that the bourgeois fac
tions to whom the game under present
conditions was somewhat new.
The Independent Socialists confined
thelr attempts at vote getting to pub
llc meetings and were not Represented d
IN the spread of the vast quantities of
printers ink. The German Democratic
party however, was liberally represent
ed among the handbills and posters
and IN addition it carried on an active
se-to-house canvass. The Con.
servatlves, Clericals and National Lib
erals proved themselves comparative

chlelly on the party newspaper organs
Troops Guard Polls
1t is estimated that no less than
seven divisions of troops were placed
at the disposal of the government for
tne purpose of protecting the polling
places. machine gun squad was in
posltlon within a hundred feet Of each
voting place, while strong military po-
lice patrols were also on guard. The
voters everywhere turned out early
and the rush to the polls resulted in
the formation of long lines of men and
women awaiting their turn to vote.

government leaders.
Opposition to Berlin as the seat of
the assembly is said to emanate chiefly
from South German sources, which in
view OF recent occurrences at the capi-
tai are fearful of the fate of the new
republic if the assembly meets here.
The national ministry of finance is
SAID to have asked Berlin banks to re-
port on deposits belonging to members
Of the Spartacus League or their wives
The ground is taken, it is said. that
such moneys are Russian government

completed with Herbert c. Hoover di-
rector general of relief, who will sup
ply food to the limit of the money sub
scribed for the relief of Russian pris-

Harries, Of the American army, who is
in Berlin in connection with the re-
patriation of American prisoners.

Grand Duke Obstinate
The Grand Duke of Hesse had
himself inscribed on the lists under his
old title showing. says the Berlin
"Local-Anzeiger, that Louis of Bra
bant, as he is called by the present
government, does not recognize his de-
position"
Among the we'll known Germans elect
ed in Baden We're Konstantin Fehren-
bach. former President of the Reichstag,
and Herren Dietrich, Haas and Wirth,
members Of the Reicnstag. In Wurttem-
burg Matthias Erzberger, Friedrich Won
Payer. former Vice -Chancellor; Adolph
Groeber and Herr Kehl were elected.
The first results are too incomplete
to permit OF any opinion being ex-
pressed as to the significance of the
election, but the old National Liberal
party virtually has disappeared in
Baden ands Wurttemburg, where the
Centrists, Majority Socialists and Ger
man Democrats alone have been sue
cessful.
For the purposes of yesterdays cleo
ton Germany was divided into tadrty-
eight districts. which theoretically would
elect 433 representatives to the Ma
tional Assembly. However, as elections
were not held in Alsace-L Lorraine, the
number was reduced by twelve from
this cause, and it was still further re-
duced by the fact that as Posen is
occupied by Polish troops elections
there were impossible.
The total number of electors is given
IN round numbers as 100000 men
and 2l000,000 women. Each party was
privileged to nominate in each district
