Claim. New York, Aug. 1.—Representatives John J. Eagan and James A. Hamil of New Jersey announced this afternoon at city, Berlin, Apg. 1, by Wireless to Say- ville—Forty-nine warships with an aggregate of 562,000 tons have been lost by the entente allies during the war, according to statistics given out today by the German admiralty, the figures being brought up to June 30 last. Of this number, says the state- ment the British lost forty vessels with a tonnage of 485,000. the conclusion of a conference of ad federal officials on the Black Tom munitions explosion that they would go to Washington tomor- row, accompanied by Mayor Fagan of Jersey City, to demand an embargo The losses of the Teutonic allies are on the export of munitions from At- | Biven in the statement as thirty war- A i | £hips of 162,000 tons in the aggregate, 3 The British losses are given as com- additonal prising eleven battleships, seventeen armored cruisers and twelve cruisers. Merchant ships sunk by the Teu- tonic allies, according to the state- ment totaled 1,303, with an aggregate tonnage of 2,000,574. “During I vear,” adds the state- ment “thirty-eight violations of inter- national law committed by°® enemy merchant ships against our subma- rines have been proved. Three times have enemy warships acted with es- pecially gross disregard of interna- tional law aside from violations of the simplest laws of humanity in the Baralong and King Stephen cases. ‘Finally it may be stated, the naval forces of the entente at the beginning of the war were more than three times stronger than those of the allies (Teu- tonic) while the losses in men of war sustained by the entente were three times the allied losses.” TURKS BROUGHT UP TO DEFEND LEMBERG state Three arr are ex- today a result of investigation by the New and Jersey City officials of the ammunition explosion on Black With on s pected as Jersey great Tom island Sunday morninsg. already held in bail of manslaughter, been three men charges a warrant had issued for the arrest of E.

Besler of the Central Rallroad of New Jersey probably would be arrested today, charged with responsibility in the ex- plosion. 7,000,000 in Danger. The New Jersey authorities declare that the $20,000,000 blast on Black Tom island shall be the end of the danger in which seven million persons have lived in this section for the last year, during which ammunition has been pouring through Jersey for the use of the entente allies. They say that three-fourths of the ammunition shipped from America to Efurope is Toaded on board ships here, and they have begun proceedings with the de- termination to compel its shipment from points remote from New York. The New Jersey authorities intend also to dispute the authority of the commission to regulate the traffic in ammunition. A conference was held today be- tween state and federal officials to plan to eliminate the danger of a repetition of the disaster. It is declared that about 2,000,000 pounds of explosive are trans-shipped daily from railroads here to steamers lying in Gravesend Bay. Rules of the interstate commerce commission re- quire that the explosives must be un- loaded within twenty-four hours af- ter reaching the piers. New Jersey officials believe many of the railroads are violating this law, Fvidence of Criminal Neglect. Presecutor Hudspeth conferreed to~ with the United States district attorneys of New Jersey and New York in an effort to prevent any fur- ther violations of the law regulating the transportation of ammunition. He said: “I have evidence of criminal negligence of the worst sort and we will push the cases to the limit. Be- cause they have had difficulty in get- ting ships to transport the ammuni- on, the railroad and transportation companies have allowed it to accu- mulate so that no one in this section of the country is safs Governor Fielder declared he be- leved public sentiment would not permit the further unloading of high explosives in New York harbor. McKenzie arrived at Jersey Ottoman Officers Familiar Figures In The Streets—Berlin Confident Of Holding City. Berlin, Monday, July 31, via Lon- don, Aug. 1, 12:05 p. m.—Turkish of- ficers are now a familiar sight in the streets of Lemberg and the vanguard of the Turkish troops being sent to the southeastern batile front already has been detrained, according to dis patches from the Galician capi The Ottoman forces, however, ap- parently have not yet been thrown in- to the struggle. The German com- manders are biding their time to launch their counter blow at the Rus- sians, disregarding the indecisive suc- cesses which Gen. Brusiloff and his associate army comamnders may be able to attain by the tremendous penditure of force. The Teutonic retirement on the Lutsk front from Kiselin, west of Lutsk, northward to the point where the Kovel-Sarny railroad crosses the Stokhod, and the abandonment of the convoluted line following the mean- dering course of the Stokhod is re- garded here without apprehension, and, in fact, as in a certain way a hopeful sign, as the new line, cut- ting across the big bend in the Stok- hed is only twenty-elght miles long, in contrast with the approximate fifty-three miles of the former front. A proportionately smaller force s capable of defending it, the surplus thus being released for employment elsewhere. In the western front the British, according to German war correspond- ents, appear to be on the point of again attempting the task which theyv found impossible on July l—namely, to crush the German front north of the Ancre brook in an effort to reach Bapaume from the west. The Brit- ish artillery fire on the front between Gommecourt and Beaumont-Hamel on Saturday and Sunday was of the most violent character, being, apparentty, preliminary to a new onslaught against the heavily fortified line upon which the British divisons dashed themselves valiantly but vainly in the first days of their storming attack.

Coleman Handle Wheel. to Baltimore, Aug. 1.—Activities in- dicating the early departure of the German submersible Deutschland on her homeward voyage to Germany were noticed at the pier at which she is berthed this morning. The logs forming the outer barrier about the vessel were towed into mid- stream and anchored. Then the tug Timmins and a launch swept the channel from the dock out to the main channel with a heavy weight suspended under water from a line between the two craft. This was done evidently as a precaution against possible obstructions in the path. The city tug Baltimore arrived while these operations were in progress and took up a position off the end of the ship. pparently the Baltimore was there & make sure that the Deutschland Bot clear of the harbor in safety. It was learned from a trustworthy source that Capt. Koenig had asked for a pilot to guide the underwater liner to the Virginia Capes. The pilot designated was said to be Capt. Owen Coleman who brought the Deutschland into this port. Arrangements were made, it was sald by an official connected with the company operating the Deutschland, for the submarine to leave this af- ternoon or this evening. Departure Imminent. Washington, Aug. 1.—Prince Von Hatzfeldt, consellor of the German embassy, said today after a call at the state department that he had talked on the long distance telephone with Baltimore and that the depart- ure of the merchant submarine Deutschland was imminent. “Maybe today: 1 don’t know, very soon,” said the prince.
