GREAT DEMAND FDD
SECOND DADD TONNAGE
LONDON, July 26.—The demand foj
second-hand tonnage continues un
abated and high prices are being
paid, largely because merchant ship
building is at a stand 'still, while the
yards arc engaged on government
work. An Instance of the keen demand
for tonnage is the recent sale of tlir
Austrian steamer Ooncadoro, which
was captured at Uexandria. Although
this vessel was sold a year ago last
March for $28,500, it. was knocked
down at $80,500, nearly three times its
previous record, at the recent sale.
GERMANS DESTROY 135
RDSTILE AEROPLANES
BERLIN, July 26.—The German and
Austro-Hungarian troops hnve so fnr
brought down 125 hostile aeroplanes,
according to the Cologne Gazette. The
list includes 57 French machines, 47
British, 26 Russian and 5 Belgian.
In the Dardanelles the Turks have
disposed of 5 English aeroplanes and
eight more English airmen have been
iuterned in Holland after landing
there by mistake.
No figures have been made public as
to the losses of the German air corps.
BELGRADE SUFFERS
GREATLY FROM WAR
HEliGRADE, July 26.— In none of
Europe's capitals Is the meaning of
war time economy so thoroughly
understood as In Belgrade. Only about
one-fourih hf the Inhabitants of the
city proper nre now to be found
there, and these subsist under gTont
difficulties. There nre no street cars
or cabs. Many articles of common
use nre so scarce ns to be prnctlcallv
unobtainable. Even the upper class
homes have dispensed with servants.
It has become a general custom to
cook monls hut once daily. The food
thus prepared Is plnced on a bufTet to
suffice for the day. and it Is generally
eaten standing, for people appear to
lie too busy with the vnrlous wartime
occupations to go through n formality
In connection with their sustenance.
Families which would otherwise he
destitute obtain n small allowance
from the government, limited to six
cents a day for a woman and two
censt a day for each child.
All *he cities and imjmrtant build
ings are practically In ruins ns a
result of the repeated bombardments
from the Austrtnn batteries in the
town of Semlin, just across the river.

Ing a small amount of the stock be
fore I»r. Chase departs for the states
where he will secure the equipment
necessary for the operation of the
mine. We have secured a lease on the
