Phone 189 EVENTS OF THE GREAT WAR (Continued from Page Three) " while a great mine field completed in May be the British navy converted virrually the whole North Sea into as area closed against U-boat activ The harbors of Zeebrugge and Os tem:i from which Gqrman subma rimeCs had been operated against En tente shipping, were either sealed etire!y or made virtually valueless c rbmm:nrine 'a,.es by da-ing naval and air raids by the British in May. U-Boats in American Waters ;ternman submarines visited Amer ican waters in June and sank at least ten ships, the field of the U-boat oiperations being from North New Jersey coast to the Virginia capes and easterly half way to the Burmu das. The only United States transport lost while carrying troops to Europe was the Tuscania, which was tor pedoed off the north coast of Ire land on February 5, with a loss of 212 men. Hospital Ships Sunk During the year 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 British steamer Llandovery Castle, carrying Canadian nurses and doe tors. This took place on June: 27, only twenty-four of the 258 persons on board being rescued. The total shipping reported sunk since August 1, 1917, is more than 4, 250,000. Against this destruction of ship ping the Allies have combined their shipbuilding capacity. The actual number of tons of shipping launched and put into service has not been published. Official announcements have been made inthe 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 ship yards. Losses in Battle The year's fighting has entailed great losses for most of the beliger ents. During the drive into Italy last October and November the Teu tonic armies claimed the capture of more than 180,000 Italians. In the German offensive in France this year about 190,000 French, British, Amer ican and Portugese were ;eported to have been taken prisoners. Added to these losses are the cas ualties in killed and wounded. No definite figures have been reported on what appears to be good author ity that in the fighting-from March 21 till June 14, the Germans lost more than 500,000 men. The French and British losses were considerably smaller, as the Allies were fighting from entrenched positions. Financial Aspects The United States has floated three great Liberty Loans. Thet pru ceds of these loans have aggregated $10,788,541,900. The total war cost to the United States, according to latest available figures, is $13,800, 000,000. Since the nation entered the war it has extended credits to the al lies aggregating $6,091,590,000. The total cost of the war to Eng land up to December 15, 1917, 7aas placed at 6242000000 pounds sterling, while French votes of credit are some what smaller. At latest reports the total of the German war loans ap proximately $31,000,000,000. Internal Disorders There have been numerous reports of disorders in countries engaged in the war. Riots and bloodshed have been reported in Germany and Aus tria many times during the past spring and summer and there is little doubt that the Slavic races of Austria are seething with discontent. Ireland came to the center of the stage in this connection early in May, when a pro-German plot was detect ed but nipped in the bud with the arrest of seventy-eight leaders of the Sinn Fein. Recently dissatisfaction was re ported against the Biritsh in South Africa, but it has apparently been stamped out. One onarch Died During the ylar one ruler of a bel igerent country died. The death of the sultan of 'Turkey was announced in June, subseqent reports intimating he had been unurdered. Assistance for Russia Since the collapse of Russia, the Allied nations have sought to find a way to assist ihe people who are be ing exploited by the Germans. The French, Britislf and American forces have been landed on the Murman or Kola peninsula, on the north coast. The yhave not actively intervenel, however, being there only to protect Allied prope'g .which had been land ed at the Porit of Kola before Russia withdrew froA the Entente Alliance. In Siberia there is a well-defined anti-Bolshevil movement which has been built up around Czecho-Slovak prisoners of war who armed them selves \and inflicted defeats on the Bolsheviki. A new government has been set up there under General Hor vath, president of the Chinese East ern railroad. Japanese, British and American marines have been in the city of Viadivostock for months. Neutrals Countries which were not engaged in the war have suffered during the 12 months. Switzerland and Holland, being adjacent to Germany, have been threatened by the Central Powers, a number of times in matters relative to economic concessions. Holland, especially, has been beset with dif ficulties, and at present the Allies are protesting against her exporting supplies to Germany. Norway has signed an agreement with the United States by which com mercial relations may be carriedi on. Sweden has been dealing openly with Germany and has been threaten ed with a virtual boycott by Great Britian. Both nations have lost se verely through the depradations of German submarines. Denmark is in a serious plight also and it has been reported that there is great suffering among the people of that country. New Belligerents Three new countries have declared war on Germany during the year. They are Costa Rica, Guatemala and Hayti. The Argentlen. although near a break because of the machinations of von Luxburg. the 'German ambas sador at Buenos Ayres, has taken no steps in that direction. Mexico has remained neutral.
