JAPS HAVE A BIG
BILL AGAINST GERMANY
Tukio (By Mail) Japanese ship
owners, whose ships were sunk by the
ici inaus are considering the question of
-iuiipensation to be exacted from Ger
many. Representatives of several of
the largest concerns held a meeting of
the Kobe Chamber of Commerce recent
ly to discuss this question. According
to statements made at the meeting, 'A2
Japanese ships were lost, totaling 132,
tons. .
A committee of 3 owners was chosen
;it t lie meeting to determine the cost
of the ships, the amount of money they
won lil have earned had they not been
'lest roved, the total of the relief funds
paid out to the familias of the ships'
lost crews and the like. It is roughly
estimated that the amount of compen
sation to be demanded from Germany
will be about $100,000,000. Mr. Tarn
eiKxuke Ishibashi of the Suzuki Shoren.
Kobe, has arrived in Tokyo to ta.ke the
matter up with the department of com
munications. .
Inferring to this matter, Chief Wa
kamiya of the mercantile marine bu
re;iM said :
't is quite proper that the owners
"f those ships which were victims of
' German lawlessness should demand
compensation. It would, however, be
a very difficult matter to arrive at a
proiKT estimate of the loss caused by
German barbarity. The total tonnage
lost in the war on account of subma
rine warfare is put at Jtf;000.000 tons,
and the sii. no". r of Great Britain
and allied countries, whose property
has suffered, are considering ways in
which compensation is to be exacted.
It will be interesting To know the way
, in which Germans will be induced to
I pay such compensation..

proximate this total until the forces
