FINANCE TRENDS

For every 100 new cars sold in
1888, auto dealers took 206 used
cars, a new high, in trade. Re-
possessions Of new cars in per
cent of the number financed in
creased from % per cent in 1886
to Al per cent in 1897 and 6.3 per
cent in 1888. This great increase
in repossessiOns was caused by
the sudden and severe depression
of the latter half of 1897 which
threw many car buyers out Of en-
ployment and forced them to give
up their cars in that year and the
next.

Behind the Lines

Save on the Russo Finnish front, news
behind the lines" was more important,
more portentous, last week than that
flowing from military and naval head
quarters.
Two of the worlds powerful figures,
one in the spiritual, the other in the
temporal, sphere, made pleas for peace
tc a warning world. They were Pope
Plus XII and President Roosevelt.
In an address to Is Cardinals on
Christmas eve, the holy father proposed
a fve-point basis for 'just and honor
able peace" which he said he hoped AL
sane statesmen" would consider. The
points:
/. Guarantee every nation, large or
small, the right to life and independence.
2. Free the world from the slavery of
armaments."
3. Make effective international organ
izations created to solve the worlds
problems peacefully.
4. Fulfill the needs and just demands
of nations, peoples and clinical minori-
ties"
S. Provide observance by statesmen
and peoples of Christian principles.
Three days later, his holiness made a
gesture in which some observers pro-
fessed to see encourage

Pope Plus on Thursday returned state
visit made to the Vatican earlier by King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Elena of
Italy.
In brief address to the royal pair,
the Pope praised the italian state for its
policy Of peace in the present war, add
ing his prayer that it might become a
stimulus and Indictment to future un-
derstanding for peoples who today almost
as brothers turned enemies are fighting

His holiness also acknowledged Presi-

War at Sea

Compared with sensational naval battle
off the Uruguayan coast, scuttling of the
pocket battleship Graf Spec and of the
huge liner Columbus week before, last
weeks war at sea seemed colorless. Yet
Germany's submarine campaign against
allied commerce continued undated,
while the glo-French blockade steadily
syphoned the life-blood from Germany's
economic body.
Figures officially released in London
toward the week end listed the wars toll
of merchant ships since September at
248 vessels, totaling 901 ,344 tons. OF these
ships, the British said, 126 were the
Empires, II French, 81 German and 30
neutral. Germany's unrestricted sub
marine campaign, London estimated, was
destroying a daily average of 7,7O4 tons
of shipping, only third of the toll taken
by the undersea boats in the early part
of 1917.
German figures, simultaneously re-
leased, differed from the British. Neither
o.. Berlin nor London, it
Sh'PP'n9 appeared, had yet ad-
Ioesee R;n mitted the loss of some
of their own ships, an
nounced as sunk by the enemy. Germany
acknowledged loss of 18 vessels three
less than the British isted-claimed the
destruction of 1874 British compared to
London's 1863, IL French, 70 neutral
vessels
Paris, meanwhile, announced that
Germany had lost 40 submarines-ha
the number flying the swastika at the
wars beginning. French claimed Ger
mans had adopted new submarine
building policy, construction of tiny 200
ton craft, suited to ass-production;
pointed out their weaknesses Limited
cruising range, weak resistance to depth
bombs.
Ships lost during the week included
only small freighters, among them the
trawler Loeb Doom, the cargo ship Moor
toft, the small steamer Kentwood, all
British; no large vessels.
Barely, though, did the British Navy
avert disaster almost as great as the
recent loss of the aircraft carrier Cour-
ageous and the battleship Royal Oak.
Friday, oil the coast Of Scotland, Ger
man submarine sent torpedo into the
hull of British man-of war described
in both German and British COM
muniques as "a ship of the Queen Eliza
beth class" These (the Queen Elizabeth,
Warspite, Valiant, Barham and Malaya)
are vessels Of the pre-Jutland type, ,av-
erage around 81 900 tons displacement,
carry main batteries of eight 15-inch
guns.
Berlin said tersely that the British
ship had been "torpedoed," did not say
whether it survived or
BottIeship sank. Shortly afterward
Torpedoed the British admiralty
confirmed the torpedo
ing, admitted the loss of three seamen
and some damage" to the ship, but
added it was proceeding safely under
its own power. Apparently the damage
was slight.
The German people, Berlin dispatches
said, are raising up new naval hero
to fill the niche once occupied by Count
Felix Won Luckner. the World War sea
raider. He Is blond, blue-eyed 1t. Capt.
