A 1
SiX BILLION LOSS
IN CARGO SHIPS
Is Estimated As Germany’s Toll
of the War. As Result of
Losses Sweeping- Reduction in
Imports to Be Made.
Washington.— Germany's economic
toll in cargo ships sunk by her sub
marines during the war totals more
than $6,000,000,000 to date, officials
here estimated today. The value of
tonnage sent to the bottom is based on
ship losses just made public for the
first time by the British admiralty.
The losses, it is estimated, would be
diveded as follows:
Cost of reproducing ships sunk, $3,-
240,000 and probable cargo value be
tween $3,000,000,000 and $5,000,000,000
more.
Os these losses it is estimated the
1917 total will exceed $2,800,000,000.
In a comparatively small-area about
the British Isles lies most of this grdat
treas .re of ships and merchandise, in
cluding millions in gold and silver bul
lion.
Sharp Restrictions.
As a result of the sweeping losses
frankly admitted now by Allied of
ficials, the government is preparing
to announce sharp restrictions of' im
porter. Investigation of imports sta
tistics shows that 2,000,000 tons of
cargo space was devoted to luxuries
imported into the United States in
1917.
The war trade board is now prepar
ing a list of what may be regarded as
non-essential imports and exports sub
ject to curtailment in the government’s
tonnage, conservation program.
Fruits and nut,s < onstitute a big
item in the luxury trade. Coffee
brought irfto the United States from
Brazil in 1917 occupied 605,481 tons of
shipping space—and most certainly
will be reduced under the proposed
plan. Raw silg occupied 16,296 tons.
Drastic Slashing.
Millions of dollars worth of fruits,
nuts, perfumes, cosmetics, laces and
embroideries, furniture, ostriclk feath
ers, ornaments, hats and clothing, to
say nothing of ivory and other non
et sentials, will soon feel the drastic
slashing of the American government.
Everything now depends on tonnage
—and the peonle will soon get a dif
ferent idea of “necessities” officials
say.

TO BRIDGE BOSPHORUS
The Turkish government, according to
dispatches, has let contracts for the con
struction of a bridge and tunnel between
Europe and Asia at the Bosporus. This
apparently indicates that Germany, Tur
key's ally, is looking forward to com
pleting another link in the Berlin-to-Bag
dad Railway, which is a much-emphasized
feature of its dream of a greater empire.
The Bosphoius is about 18 miles long,
and has a maximum width at the northern
entrance of two and three-fourths miles
and a minimum width of about 800 yards.
