DICKEY If You Want the^ ■ War News Phone 2036 And Say SEND ME THE HERALD United States Ranks Second In World’s Carrying Power on Water Washington.—The world’s carrying power on water practically doubled during th© past 20 yearn and now in duce* about 31,000 vessels with an aggn gate capacity of 47,000,000 gross tom according tp figures today by the department of commerce. In num ber, however, there ban been a alight decrease, the tendency bing toward lajgr carrying units. The United Htatea ranks second in number and tonnage of vessels en gaged in commerce, due to the vast number engaged In lake and coaetwiae French Forts Wonderful, Belief of U. S. Strategists Waihmgton.—American array ofb <mh think In thr, campaign Utrough Belgium lies Germany's only hope or inarching soldiers into France. For nearly forty years French en gineers have been constructing forti fications of earth and steel, even in cluding great revolving tunnel* like those, of a dreadnought, that now practically cover every mile oT the frontier between France and Ger man and south Belgium. In the estimate of army engineers these defenses are invulnerable, ex cept as against an army vastly out numbering the French forces behind the parapets and in the rifle pits. The American axiom Is tnat one Hold'icr behind such defenses as the French have erected on this frontier is equal to four in the attacking army. This ratio of effective defensive and offensive power might he greatly reduced by systematic siege opera PIPERS OF GERKKNY GOMPLAII Berlin, Aug. 8, via. Amsterdam and London.—The German newspapers complain about th© diplomatic man euvers carried out to make Germany appear the disturber of th© peace. They maintain it waa Russia that pushed Germany to war. It is reported her© the Germans In France who were unable to leave within the time limit are being sent to western France and compelled to help with the harvest. German wom en in Russia, the newspapers say, are being expelled, while th© men have been thrown into prison. Matthias Erzberger, leader of the clerical party in the imperial parlia ment and chairman of the arms com mittee. states that the German army and navy are both splendidly equipped while the German rifles and cannon are superior to those of their adver saries He declares Germany can ab solutely rely on her ©dfensive forces.

The number of American ves sel* engaged in foreign trade is less than that of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Norway. The carrying trade of the United •Hates shows a marked growth in coastwise and lake traffic and a strik ing decline on the ocean. While the gross tonnage of American vessels en gaged in lake and coastwise trade in creased from 3,657,304 tons in 1883 to 9.78®,681 tons in 19193, that of its voa sels in the foreign trade decreased from 1,302,095 tons to 1,027,776 tons. tions, but this would involve the ex penditure of that most precious fac to rin a campaign—time—which would not be in accord with the sup posed German plans for a dash into Paris. The belief among strategists is that the Belgians, for the ppresent, will largely confine themselves to obstruc tive tactics, and while this is going on the French forces, which are very numerous in the mv ghborhood of Rhelms and to the north and south of that fortress, w>ill come to the aid of the Belgians. As the fighting at sea, naval strat egists believe Germany has weakened her position by clinging to the old practice of dispersing her naval ves sels Tar and wide n time of peace, failing to guard against the outbreak of a sudden war that would make concentration impossible.
