Although nearly three times as great as the largest: number heretofore an- nounced in a single day, the total to- day represents only a part of the lists which have been accumuiating since the great battle began July 15. And it is not to be assumed that it represents the losses for any one day. No estimate of the American cas- nalties in this continuous fighting has been received. from General Pershing and it was said authoritatively toda: that none is expected. In that con- nection, Acting Secretary of War Crowell today deprecated any guasses as to casualties in the overseas forces, saying that publications which would exaggerate or minimize the total would create unnecessary anxiety among the relalives and friends of American soldiers.

The secoud list contained only names of the dead—235 killed in action and 43 who died of wounds— but the first list showed 45 wounded severely, 100 wounded, degree inde- termined, and three missing in uction. In the first list, there also were nin who died of disease, ome of an aero- plane accident and six from accidents and other causes.

No Complaint from Wounded. The morale of the wounded, lying on deck waiting to be taken off, is describec by members of the crew as “too fine for words.” They never com- plained and they never urged the res- cuers to hurry.

No German Wounded Aboard. The Warilda had been. in the chan- nel service' two years, and this was her first crossing from France in which she did not carry a number of German wounded prisoners.

Were Fishing Schooners, and Four Three Were American. A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug §.- The toll of the German submarine raid in Canadian waters during the past four days had reached a total of five ships tonight. Four of these weré smali fishing schooners, three of them American, and the other was. the new lumber schooner Dornfontein. The last of the five was reported today when the crew of the Nova Scotia fisherman Nelson A. of Yarmouth came ashore in their dories and said they had been sunk by a bomb Sunday noon five miles south by west of Lockport, N. S. ‘When the crew of the Nelson A last saw the raider she was speeding due south in pursuit of a large steamer. The chase carried the U-boat below" the horizon and the fate of the um~r identified steamer was not known. An- other report of the chasing of the steamer was brought to a Canadian port today by the auxiliary fishing vessel Mclaughlin. The McLaughlin was chased by the submersible kept out of range of her guns u the raider veered off after the steam= ship in the distance. No Lives Were Lost. No lives have been reported lost as the result of the submarine’s depre- dations. The crews of the Americam fishing schooners Muriel and Annie M. Perry, both of Boston, and the Rob Roy of Gloucester, which were attacks ed Saturday, reached Canadian ports in their dories yesterday. The firsf Canadian victim of the rzider, the lumber schgoner Dornfontein, which was looted and burnea Friday at the mouth of the Ray of Fundy, was towed: into port today, still burning. Captain John Simms and his crew of 17 men of the Neison A. on reaching shors today reported that the submarine came upon them from the southwest, probably from the scene of the attack on the Dornfontein. The submarl commander, after ordering the risher- men to their dories, looted the schoon~ er, had the British sailors place aboard the submersible a supply of fresh haiibut, and blew up the schoon- er by a time bomb set against the schooner’s keel. The Nelson A. had sailed from Lockport, N, S., a week ago Friday for the Lahave fishing banks. On Sat-. urday she set sail for her home port with 7,000 pounds of halibut and 70,000 pounds of mixcd fresh fish on board. .
