U-HOATS IN AMERICAN WATERS- Ge-i man submarines visited Amt-ii-can waters in June and sank al le is? ten ships, the field of the U-boat op erations being from the North Ne-w Jersey coast south to the Virginia capes and esteiiy half way lo the l'.ui mudus. The only United Slates trat.spoit lost while carry ing troops to Em ope was the Tuscania. which was torpe doed otl the north coast of Ireland ! on February C with a loss of 212 men. I HOSPITAL SHIPS SUNK. 1 . During the yexir eleven hospital ships have been sunk by submarines, the latest and most flagrant case of this violation of the Geneva Conven tion being the destruction of the pi it ish strainer Llandovery Castle, car rvinc Canadian nurses and doctors- This took place on June 27, only ot the 258 persons on board beiug ifscued. The total shipping reported sunk since August 1, 1917, Is more than 4. 250,000 tonR. Against this dent ret ion of shipping the Allies have- combined their ship hnildinE eanacity. The actual num- her of trum of Rhinninc launched and put into service has not been publish- ed. Official announcements have been made in the recent past, however, to : the effect that more ships are being, built than are being sunk. On July, 4, ninety vessels were launched at American shipyards. 1 LOSSES IN BATTLE The year's lighting has entailed great losses for most of the beiligcr-, ents. During the drive Into Italy last October and November the Teutonic arm it claimed the capture of more than 1 M, 000 Italians. In the German offensives in France this year about l!Mi,(HMi French. British. Anietian and Portugese were reported to have been taken prisoners. Added to these losses are the casu alties in killed nnd wounded. No def inite figures have been issued by Ger many and Austria but It has been re potted on what appears to lee good authority that in the- fighting from Msrch 21 till June 14 the Germans lost more than 500,000 men. The French and British losses were con-1 siderably smaller, as the allies were fighting from entrenched positions. FINANCIAL ASPECTS The United States has floated trf e freat Liberty Loans.
