BERLIN MINIMIZES
LOSSES AT VERDUN
German Sacrifices Declared
v Small in Proportion to Ad
iL vantage Gained.
FRENCH ESTIMATES DENIED
Eighteenth Corps, Said to Have
Lost 17,000 Men at V'anx, Is
Declared by Germans Not to
Have Fought There.
BERLIN, April 13. (By wireless to
Bayville. N. Y.) The French losses In
killed and wounded in the fighting
around Verdun, says the Overseas
News Agency, are computed to have
reached up to the present time a total
of 150.000 officers and men, or about
four army corps.
The News Agency continues:
"According to a correspondent from
the front,-- the French authorities are
spreading reports regarding, heavy
German losses before Verdun.. It is
said that one battalion of Qhasseurs
lost 1078 men, that is to say, about its
total number. It is al30 reported that
the 18th army corps lost 17,000 officers
and .men In storming the village and
fortress of Vaux. This corps never
participated In the fighting for the
village of the fortress of Vaux.
"The French calculate the German
losses at the round figure of 200,000.
The German casualties happily have
not been in proportion to the import
ance of the German gains. Besides,
mong the casualties are a great per
centage of men who were only slightly
wounded.
"The number of prisoners taken by
the French is insignificant, as the only
soldiers captured by them were some
who were too bold and advanced far
beyond their goal.
"As the French are steadily retreat
ing they must, of course, give imagin
ary figures. The Germans, on the
ether hand, have for seven weeks
been burying dead Frenchmen on the
battlefield and rescuing French
wounded, so they are able to compute
figures 'regarding the French losses,
which are calculated to have reached
150,000, or four army corps."
FOOD ECONOMIES PLANNED
Lord Mayors of German Cities Con
sidering Next Winter.
BERLIN. April 13. (By wireless to
Eayville, N. Y.) At a meeting of the
lord mayors of the German cities, held
today under the presidency of Adolph
Wuermuth, the lord mayor of Berlin, a
manifesto was issued proposing neces
naiy measures in order to organize
properly the distribution of victuals in
the course of next Winter, the third
of the war.
The manifesto points out that last
"Winter some cities, owing to insuffi
cient organization, -several times tem
porarily ran short of potatoes and
bread, and measures are proposed
which will make impossible a repeti
tion of such Incidents. . .
Other measures are proposed with the
object of regulating the distribution of
milk, butter and meat.

PARIS. April 13. The text of today's
Official statement of the War Office is:
"The night passed quietly in all the
Verdun region. A German attack
which was being prepared yesterday
evening against our positions at hill
No. 304 did not progress to the point
of leaving the trenches. The curtains
of fire maintained by our artillery and
the bombardment from our batteries in
a neighboring sector directed against
the columns of the enemy assembled
in "the wood of Malan.court apparently
put an end to this maneuver."
The supplementary report Issued to
night says
"Between the Oise and the Aisne our
artillery displayed activity against
enemy entanglements at Moulin-Sous-Toutvent'and
Nampiel. -
"To the west of the Meuse the bom
bardment of Hill 304 and our front
from Le Mort Homme to Cumieres con
tinued. "To the east of the Meuse and in the
Woevre our artillery was less active
and no infantry action occurred dur

"One of our long-range guns shelled
the station at Noveant-sur-Moselle and
on the Corny bridge, north of Pont-a-Mousson.
A fire broke out in the station-
buildings.

Russians Attacking Blaelc Sea Port of
Trebizond Alone Ktw Line, With
Prospect of Victory.
PETROGRAD, via London, April 13.
By a series of counter attacks, car
ried out with great energy, the Turks
in Armenia are straining to the utmost
to defend the Important city of Bai
burt, at the chief junction of the roads
between Krzerum and Trebizond.
"The occupation of Baiburt would
greatly facilitate the operations of the
Caucasian armies and would establish
close connection between the armies
moving along- the coast to Trebizond
and the central Russian army aiming
at Erzingan. The new line of attack
on the Black Sea port of Trebizond
from the south, which the occupation
of this junction would offer, would,
it is believed, cause the immediate
retirement of the Turkish forces de
fending Trebizond and lead to the ca
pitulation of Turkey's most important
Black Sea port.
"In the Armenian region the Rus
sian troops are steadily advancing lo
a southwesterly direction toward the
upper Tigris." .

LONDON, April 3. Sir Edward Grey,
British Foreign Secretary, replying to
a question in. the House of Commons
today, confirmed the statement pub
lished last month, that the value of the
securities intercepted by the British au
thorities in the letter post between
Holland and the United States was 2,
000,000. Protests, he added, had been
made by neutral countries, and dis
cussion with them was proceeding.
Sir Edward said the securities taken
from the letter post between Holland
and the United States were seized on
the ground that they were of German
origin. They would be dealt with in
the prize court in the same way as other
German exports.

WASHINGTON, April 13. Great Brit
ain's reply to the American note pro
testing against the "trading with the
enemy" act as pregnant with possibili
ti. f unHii. interference with Amer
ican trade describes the act as "purely
domestic legislation to restrict the ac
tivities and trade of persons under
British Jurisdiction," and assures the
United States that in its enforcement
every care will be exercised to avoid
Injury to neutral commerce.
The act, approved last December, Is
designed to prevent British subjects
from trading with any business firm
which has business connections with
or is controlled in any part by Great
Britain's enemies. In its protest, pre
sented to the British Foreign Office
January 26 by Ambassador Page, the
United States expressed the opinion
that the regulations have been framed
"without a proper regard for the right
of persons domiciled in the United
States to carry on trade with persons in
belligerent countries," and made a for
mal reservation of the right to contest
its legality should it be found that
American trade was hampered.
Order Aimed Only at Britons.
The British reply rays:
"The action was framed with the ob
ject of bringing 'British trading with
the enemy regulations into greater har
mony with those adopted by the French
government since the commencement of
the war by applying in some degree
the test" of nationality in the deter
mination of enemy capture in addition
to the old test of domicile, which ex
perience has shown cannot provide a
sufficient basis under modern commer
cial conditions for measures intended
to deprive the enemy of all assistance,
direct or indirect, from national re
sources. "His Majesty's government realized,
however, that the application of this
principle to its fullest extent, while
entirely legitimate and in accordance
with the practice of other countries,
might, if applied at the present time
to commercial activities as widespread
as those of British subjects, involve
avoidable inconvenience and loss to in
nocent traders.
American Rights Admitted.
"His Majesty's government have
therefore abstained from a course of
action admittedly within their rights
s belligerents which is rot only the
existing practice of the French gov
ernment, but in strict accord with the
doctrine openly avowed by many other
states to be the basis upon which their
trading with the enemy regulations
would be founded in the event of war
and have confined themselves to pass
ing a piece of purely domestic legis
lation. "His Majesty's government readily
admit the right of persons of any na
tionality resident in the United States
to engage in legitimate commercial
transactions with any other persons.
They cannot admit, however, that this
right can in any way limit the right
of other governments to restrict the
commercial activities of their nationals
in any manner which may seem desir
able to them by the imposition of pro
hibitions and penalties which are oper
ative solely upon persons under their
jurisdiction."
GIGANTIC PLAN IS LAID
Continued From First Page.)
will negotiate with steamship owners
for charter of vessels for the tempo
rary service.
It was Mr. Wilcox' first meeting
with the directors since his recent
election to the board.
In view of the fact that two dis
tinct shipbuilding enterprises now are
Deing developed here, Mr. Wilcox
pointed out that little difficulty lies
in the way of gaining rapid construc
tion of the vessels. He emphasized the
importance of building them at home.
Bis Tank Pointed Out.
In presenting the steamshin nroh-
lem, Mr. Wilcox was entirelv fmnlr in
discussing Portland's weaknesses in
mis particular. He spoke frequently
of Portland's "heavy duty."
An enormous lot of work must ho
done to get Portland properly estab-
jicneu as a seaport, he said.
Mr. Wilcox discussion shnw.-ori' thot
he had given this problem much
thought and study. His reriru
not extemporaneous, but had been care-
xuiiypreparea.
Portland must have Kteamahir.0 t,
said. "It will cost monev tirr,'
the patient thought of the h,iin0
of the community to get these vessels
and see that they are properly placed
to serve the best interests of the whole
community and to get built up the traf-
iiu movements mat will fully sustain
the lines to be established.
Interests of Others Involved.
"I cannot think that Portland win
fail in the heavy duty confronting the
community today. Both the city's in-
ireLs ana me interests of the vast
territory which the citv serves nnri
which sustains the city are involved.
More than this, the founders of the
city have expended millions in prepara
tion for the shipping business that is
now due and which we are failing to
realize.
"This generation cannot fail in con
summating the plan so well laid out
by the fathers, a plan which' contem
plated that this should be a great sea
port, with heavy shipping interests that
serve fully the territory made tributary
io mis port dv nature and the most
economical route of movement to and
from the markets of the world.
Alaakaji Line Is F'Irst Step.
"The first step in the newer con
structive programme that this com
munity must immediately undertake
should be the establishment of an
Alaska steamship line. This line must
give Portland manufacturers and com
mercial interests a full, free outlet for
the distribution of their products in
the .Northland on a basis enablinsr the
people of this community to compete
with any others, and should also place
this city In an equally advantageous
position in bidding on the southbound
commerce of the northern country.
Alaska is a most important trade
territory that is yielding millions in
commerce annually and is growing
swiftly every year. The relative dis-
tances between this port and Alaska
make it properly, in every sense of the
word, a competitive territory for Port
land business and the people of Alaska
are inviting this competition.
"There are no serious handicaps to
be faced in establishing this line, cer- I
tainly nothing so serious but what
vigorous, aggressive action on the paxtj
of the community and sustained busi
ness effort on the part of the individual
business units of the community can
overcome with comparative ease.
"In studying the development of Alas
kan commerce for the past few years
all Portland business men have con
ceded that we have missed a most im
portant opportunity in not being there
on a footing that would fully protect
our shipping, commercial and industrial
interests.
"The farmer who has for sale gen
eral produce, the orchardist who is
offering for sale his fruit products,
the dairyman, the livestock grower, the
manufacturer of furniture, paper, lum
ber, wood products, and the entire metal
line, the wholesaler who is confronted
with the duty of constantly expanding
his territory, the real estate owner who
is endeavoring to enlist a greater num
ber of industries here to provide pay
roll, the banker who is looking to a
broader field for his financial opera
tions, and every other element of this
community and tributary territory is
most vitally affected In the establish
ment of an Alaska steamship line.
Delay Increases Job.
"We fail to protect the business man
who is established here and whom wfe
are inviting to come here in the future
unless we give this service. The serv
ice should have been maintained in the
past years. Difficulties are encoun
tered in overcoming established con
ditions that have been built up by years
of custom; but the longer we delay
the heavier will be the burden, and
the time has arrived when it is abso
lutely imperative, if Portland Is going
to protect herself and the country she
represents, that this line be established.
"As a first step in approaching the
heavy duties facing this community in
respect to its shipping and as the surest
way of getting the work properly es
tablished and impressing all the people
with the Importance of the programme
and insuring universal co-operation. I
think that the Port of Portland should
issue bonds up to $1,000,000 for the con
struction of at least three vessels that
should be especially adapted for the
Alaska trade. These vessels should be
constructed here.
Expert Is Needed First.
"In preparing for this work-the Port
should be authorized to employ an ab
solutely competent man who has had a
special knowledge of Alaskan shipping
conditions, and the work of organizing
the company and operating the vessels
should be placed In the hands of this In
dividual under the supervision of the
Port and its management.
"If it were found expedient in Issuing
the bonds to do so. a provision could
be made that whenever acceptable pri
vate interests were ready to take over
the line and the service, reimbursing
the Fort of Portland, for Its outlay, this
should be done.
"I believe there is no doubt that pri
vate capital will be found in due course
of time that would be very glad to take
over the service as soon as we prove
that our business men will furnish the
traffic and as soon as we prove that
the fundamental conditions of oper
ating between this port and Alaska, are
favorable.
Burden Would Be Divided. j
"Under the plan of issuing bonds
by the Port of Portland the burden of
the work will be equally distributed
among all the people of the city bene
fited. If an effort were made to raise
private capital In the community at
once to build the vessels and start them
In operation, only a limited number of
people probably would be found who
would be willing to make a fair sub
scription. A burden that belongs to
the whole community would thus be
placed upon the shoulders of a few.
One of the disadvantages of this ar
rangement would be that the whole
community, which must be enlisted in
a most aggressive way "to build up this
trade to sustain the steamship lines,
would not feel the direct and immediate
interest in the proposition that should
be felt.
"If bonds were issued by the Port
of Portland the burden would be placed
on all property equally and every per
son living in Portland would feel that
he had a full partnership interest in
the enterprise.
Popular Backing Spoken For.
"Approaching our first work in re
establishing shipping here through the
medium of a bond Issue that is borne
by the entire community would have
other advantages. It would tend to
educate the whole people upon the ne
cessity of a large constructive shipping
programme. An enormous lot of work
must be done to get the community
properly established as a seaport. There
must be offshore lines for the Orient,
the west coast of Mexico and South
America, and the insular territory of
the Pacific. There must also be as
full a service through the Panama
Canal for the Atlantic seaboard and
Europe as traffic warrants.
"In getting established lines to ren
der these services, or in interesting
new companies to undertake the same,
the community will either have to in
vest in the lines or show that the traf
fic to warrant such service can be had.
"A system for the development of
traffic is of the utmost importance.
This system will involve the establish
ment of certain industries, for the
changing of the commercial customs
that have prevailed in respect to im
ports and exports, and in much other
work, the success of which will be de
pendent upon the heartiness and the
unity of the whole business element in
rising to every situation as it is pre
sented. "Something must be done to convince
our businessmen and the people at
large of the fact that we can never
realize anything like our normal and
proper growth and prosperity except
that we build up at every stage of
our development and sustain In a man
ner as is done by other important seaports,-
the shipping business that will
give an outlet for our products to a
part of the world that cannot be
reached by rail lines."

expects to work his way back to his
old home in Norway, and possibly he
considers a reunion with pretty Inga

the richest furs and Jewelry that he

But Hansen has promised to do what
he can to have these goods returned,
