SUNK-BERLIN British Undaunted by German Claims of Enormous Suc cess for Submarine At tacks on Shipping; London Estimate Is 600,000 Tons. LLOYD GEORGE CLAIMS LOSSES DIMINISHING In Answer to German Chan cellor Michaelis He Pre dicts Junkerdom Will Soon Follow von Bethmann-Holl-weg, and Sue for Peace. By Ed L Keen London. July 21. (U. P.) Against Germany's claims of near ly a million tons o shipping sunk each month since unbridled sub marine warfare was proclaimed. England tonight contrasted Pre mier Lloyd George's confident statement of this afternoon: "Gradually but surely we are IncrensinB our protection and dl minisl ing our losses." The British prime minister ... i.i . utmmt pnnfirlencft in . his address at the Belgian inde- pendence celebration at Queen'o hall. "The food supply this year ana next ts' already secured," he de clared. "The program of cultiva tion makes the suppiy of 1919 se cure, even if our losses are in creased. This year we are build ing four times as many ships as in the preceding year and next year wo shall build six times as many." The German claims were contained In copies ef German papers received here and were given In amplification of the German chancellor's speech nHth Mrh Llovd CJeorrre concerned himself this afternoon. Claims Million Tons a Month The German claims were that since i..,..nrltinn nf h submarine war fare on February first, the following tonnare of neutral and allied ships have been sunk: February, 781,500. March. 885,000. April, 1.091,000. May, 869,000. For June the statistics claimed "more than a million tons, with a number of commanders'' reports still to be received." The month, the Germans predicted, would be a record-breaker. The fig ures show a total of 4,626,500 tons in 3 the five minths cited an average of about 925, S00 tons, counting June as 1,000,000 tons. Against this tonnage the British es timate of 600,000 tons as the maxi mum average was cited. Junkerdom to Go Soon The prime minister's speech was looked upon tonight as a full and per feet answer to the German chancel lor's speech. He epitomized the Brit on's view that Michaelis was the tool cf the German militarist machine and that England would fight on to a vie tory. "The Junkers have thrown the oM chancellor into the wastebasket with his 'scraps of paper.' Lloyd George declared. "But it will not be long be fore Junkerdom follows him. Those In charge of German affairs have elected for war. I predict it will not be long before the chancellor delivers a dif- (OoatlBoed on Pae Two.

P.) in the Interest of war time economy, the new cabinet today decided to re duce their own salaries by one, half. The names of the 4600 officer and men comprising the Oregon National Guard will be found on pages 10 and 11 of Section Four. ThirdOregon Will Answer Call July 25 With the other organizations of the Oregon National Guard except the Coast Artillery corps, the Third regi ment will be sent to the Palo Alo camp and will prepare to move July 25, the date when the other units have been called to the colors. The Third rtgiment is now in camp at Clackamas. It was mustered into the federal serv ice soon after being called out. Information that U:e Third regiment is included among the organizations '- go to Palo Alto is contained in an or der today from the war department. Battery B Still Forming At reveille, which will bo sounded j between 5 and 6. o clock w eanenuaj morning, July 25. all the national guard units now off duty will answer the call which will mean their en trance into the world war. though it will perhaps be some time before they see actual warfare. The order In- ! eludes all men except members of the 1 headquarters staff. The organizations arrectea m tne call are 12 companies of the coast ar tillery corps, which are up to war strength, having 1411 men; four troops of cavalry. A, li, C, and D of Portland and Pendleton, the hospital company, three companies of engineers. Battery A. field artillery and Battery B. of the same class, providing it has a com plement of 126 enlisted men by that time. The organization of this unit is still in progress. Artillery doing to Fort Stevens Twenty enlisted specialists of the Coast artillery corps are not included in the order. The companies of this branch of the service are to be sent to 1-ort Stevens. The various units arc to assemble at their armories, iiow long they wul be kept at the home stations is not definitely known, but it is assumed they are to be moved to the camps as soon after mobilization as possible. According to some speculation, there is a possibility of all the organizations be.ns assembled first at Clackamas, and from there sent to the camps. As this will entail some delay and unne cessary expense, soma, regard it as likely that the war department will arrange to have the men taken direct from their armories to- the camps, Definite and final information on these points has as yet not been received. It is probable, however, that definite word will be received before "Wednes day. 70O "Without Equipment . The only thing that is definite now I is that the soldiers are to be called out early Wednesday morning and are . to assemble at their armories. j Units containing about 700 men that I haven't beer, furnished a single piece of equipment are included in the call. Requisitions were made sometime ago ; for the equipment, but owing to the great demand it is assumed that the war department has been unable to supply it. It is regarded as likely y..f i., , iwill receive it Immediately after ar- i rivlng at the camp At any rate pie provision will be made for the men until the equipment is furnished. In all about 2500 men are included in the units called by the order, out side of the third reg ment. Tims In Camp Indefinite How long the soldiers will be held in the camps is another matter of speculation. Some believe that It will be only for a short while. Others are of the opinion that It will be for a long period, during which the soldiers will be subject to intensive training. Official information on these points Is not given out. Mining at Leadville Stopped by Strike Leadville, Col., July 21. (U. P.) Leadville. center of the metal mining industry of Colorado, was in the grip of a strike tonight, which has reduced the 63.500-ton monthly output of its 103 active mining properties to practi cally nothing, paralysed its huge smelter industry and made its 1800 miners idle. The strike action followed failure of efforts of federal mediators which lasted several weeks, to avert it. Pickets were posted today at all mines. The mly attempt at strike breaking was the hiring of a few non union men to man the pumps and pre vent flooding of the shafts. Managers of the mines tonight were emphatic in their declaration that they would not treat with the union. The increased cost of living, which they claim makes granting of their de mand for an Increase of $1 a day ab solutely essential, is the real reason for the strike, the miners assert. Seventy Strike at Vancouver, B. C. Vancouver, B. C, July 21. (I. N. S.) Seventy men, comprising machinists, boilermakers. patternmakers and laborers employed at the Vancouver engineering works, went out on strike yesterday.
