"On the Salonlkl front, between Jan uary and June. 21 hostile machines were destroyed and 13 were driven down out of control. Four of ours were lost. "From March to June, in Egypt and Palestine. 26 hostile airplanes were destroyed and 15 were driven down out of control. Ten of ours were missing. "In all the theaters of the war the British air superiority and strength progressed rapidly and continuously. From this it is safe to assume that when the new factor of America's out put, both aircraft and personnel, en ters the situation in the fighting zone, the aerial ascendancy of the entente allies should give them very great advantage."

TEUTONS QUARREL OVER THEIR LOOT Germany Declared to Have Made Bad Bargain in Rou manian Treaty. BELGIUM HELD AS PAWN Hertllng Says Ravaged Cotfntry Will Be Used as Factor in Future Ne gotiations; Alsace-Lorraine Deal Is Criticised. AMSTERDAM. July 13. "One or two more such peace treaties and we are lost," exclaimed Herr von Graefe, a Conservative member of the Reichstag, In an indictment of former Foreign Sec retary Von KLuehlmann's "no indemnity, no annexations" peace treaty of Buch arest. The article, which is published in the Pan-German Deutsche Zeltung, develops four points as follows: "First Austria-Hungary has re ceived by frontier rectifications the lion's share of the most valuable Rou manian territory, but we have to shoulder our billions of war debt. "Second The petroleum agreement Is an absolute swindle. By it the banks profit, but not the German people. "Third We get Roumanian grain, but at usuary prices, of which the Rou manian treasury is sure to grab the main part by way of export duties, so it is we who pay an Indemnity to Roumanla. Treaty of 1878 Basis. "Fourth The dynastic question and the position of Jews in Roumanla are dealt with on the basis of the Berlin treaty of 1878, when self-determination of rights and non-interference in Internal affairs of conquered states had not been invented." The writer declared the German peo ple have been sadly humbugged and that when their eyes are opened they will heap maledictions upon the heads of those who drafted the Bucharest treaty. COPENHAGEN. July 13. Denial that Germany intended to retain Belgium was made by Count von Hertllng, Ger man Imperial Chancellor in the course of his speech before the Reichstag main committee on Thursday. A German official telegram received here today says: "With regard to the statements made on Thursday by the Imperial chancel lor regarding Belgium, a view has spread among the publlo which may give rise to misunderstanding. We are. therefore, giving in full that part Of the chancellor's speech. He said: Expression Pawn Defined. " 'The present possession of Belgium only means that we have a pawn for future negotiations. We have no In tention to keep Belgium in any form whatever.' "By the expression pawn is meant that one does not Intend to keep what one has in one's hand as a pawn If negotiations bring a favorable result." LONDON. July 13. Contradictions of policy among German officials seem ingly has another illustration in the manner of publication of the statement made by Chancellor von Hertllng re garding Belgium. The German wireless service sent a report of Chancellor von Hertllng's speech, which ignored all reference to Belgium. The natural Inference seems to be that the officials who Issued the wire less version did not want Count von Hertllng's statements regarding Bel gium circulated. AMSTERDAM. July 13. At Thurs day's session of the Reichstag main committee in Berlin the progressives, the Deputies of the Center party, and the Socialists criticised a contract which had been entered Into between the government and a land company, which Intends to purchase estates in Alsace-Lorraine and settle them with persons "who are reliable from a na tional standpoint." All Sentiment Unfavorable. Neither of the Alsace-Lorraine leg islative chambers favored the contract.
