(Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 26.— Many foreign shipbuilding orders that would have been placed in Holland have gane to America, in consequence of the uncertainty created by the ship passed by the Dutch parliament, according to a com- plaint just presented to the minister of agriculture, industry and commerce tv a ship broker, Schippers, who large export law recently represents ipbuilding inter- ests. “It is,” he says “remarkable that Tomorrow of our famous Cash Saving Payment Club 7 YourLastOpporunits It is the last day in which to get one of our “Cash Sav- America has never been able to com- pete with Dutch shipbuilders, neither before nor during the but that so soon as Holland was closed to the war, export of ships the United States has booked big orders for the building of vessels for European firms, at prices that are fabulously high—much high- er than the prices which our shipbuild- | ers would ask if tere were a free ex- port of ships built in this cauntry.” The Dutch shipbuilding industry cannot exist without foreign orders, and the livelihood of 16,000 workmen at stake, according to the petitioner. He points out that while on December 31, 1914, less than ten per cent. of the tonnage building here was being con- structed to foreign orders, this pro- portion had risen on June 1, 1916, to about thirty-four per cent. 1t is petitianed that the royal decree on the export of ships shall be 2mended that ships may at all times be exported, except if it should ap- pear at the time of their completion the state has need of such tonnage. ing Payment Club”— 1The FREE (Invented and Patented by W.

PRICE HEAVY BUT WELL WORTH GAINS That's the Way Wounded British Talk of Somme (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) London, July 30.—To the civilian who notes the figures in the lists issued every twenty-four hours, and sees fresh convoys of wounded ar- riving daily at the big London railway strations, it seems that England is pay- ing a terrible ang ghastly price for whatever she is gaining by the “big push.” On that point the opinions of the fighting men themselves are of inter- est, especially of leaders who are habi- tuated to a somewhat larger purview than is possible in the ranks. Chance afforded a London reporter an oppor- tunity to obtain the views of two casualty uch on the question of casualties. It was when a hospital ship laden with wounded reached the landing stage at Southampton, and he was permitted to 2o aboard. “What do you think of the British sualties?”” he asked the- wounded Second-in-Command of a battalion which played its part at Fricourt, Montauban, and Bazentin. He was sitting with another officer, the adju- tant of a battalion which fought its way through La Boiselle to Contalmai- son. Both were “‘walking cases;” one with two machine-gun bullets in shoulder and arm, the other with bomb splinters in his left side. One had the experience of Loos for a stan- dard of comparison; the other, the ad- jutant, has been at the front since the carly days of 1915. “Well, there’s a good many of them, of course. Seeing the whole lot in a narrow funnel, as you do here, it must seem tremendous. There are a good many, of course. You can't move hand or foot on the western front, without casualties. But I'm bound to say it wasn't the number, but the fewness of them that impressed me out there. I mean, of course, for the fire we've had to face. What do you think ?” An Investment, He turned to the adjutant. “I think the proportion of casual- ties is pretty much the same as it's been in all offensive on this front; but the balance will prove totally different This war is just buying and selling: fifty thousand pounds is a lump of money to spend; but in busines, peo- ple don't worry about the laying out of fifty thousand, if they see a good and safe return for it. It's always a good investment, if vou can buy sixty or seventy, or a hundred thousand for it, isn't it? The majjor of the other nodded, and said: “Perhaps heard of those documents the founa sent by G their rear: b Company 1 one officer ty men and battalion you've different pr 1 companies in t different for reinforceme duced nine men and battalion reduced to twen- thiee officers and {hat sort of thing. That's worth paying for, you know, and what's more, it can’t possibly be got without paying. The whole thing is very different from Loos: T know that. We're getting an infinitely better run for our money. “We are gaining in ground; but that's a small thing to the enormous gain in man-power and morale. You take it from me, our new armies can stand a lot of t a deuced sight more of it than Germany could pos- sibly stand. Our chaps are in better heart today than they've ever been since 1914. “In the early days It was a case of pitting flesh and blood against metal. The Germans had the overwhelming advantage of us at every turn, and in every mortal way; except in the spirit of his men. He never could beat us at that. But in numbers, in prepara- tion, and ahove all, in guns and mu- nitions: it was heads you win and tails I lose. PBut the boct's on the other log now, and will be still more on the other leg when we've got a few more German positions. For, in addition tn evervthing else, mind, they had us beaten out of sight in the matter of relative positions, fields of fire, cover from fire, field of view, and all that. But the greatest difference is in the matter of guns and ammunition. “Why, it wouldn’t worry me much if our casualties were twice as heavy as they are; no, nor three or four times."" “Nor me. Not a bhit,” agreed the ad- jutant. “We all know there must be Dbig fighting, and lots of it, to finish this war; and there can’t be big fighting without proportionately big casualties. On the basis on which we're fighting just now, T wouldn’t care if our cas- ualties were ten times as numerous: and do vou know why? Because, on the present relation of gains to los of what we sell to what we're getting for it: if our casualties were ten times what they are, the war would be over before the summer is over, na Ge many would be down z\r.(\ out.” “And I'll tell you another thing,” said the other officer. “A rare ot of these present rasualties will be fight- ing filt rain within a month from the time of landing; and vou watch thelr smoke when they get out again.” m on headqua to N FOR PHILIPPINES. Manila, P. I, Aug. 11.—Cable in- structions from the war department, directing the formation of a new iment of infantry in the Philippines are being carried out in accordance with the terms of the new army bill. Lieutenant-Colonel Walter H. Gordon, of the h Infantry, has been pro- moted to the coloneley of the new regiment which will be known as the 31st. It is believed that the regiment will be recruited almost entirely from infantry regiments already serving in the islands, as most of the companies now here number 150 men, while un- der the new arrangement the compan- | ies will number a hundred men.
