COMPARISON OF TONNACE OF WORLD'S WARSHIPS NOT TO BE MADE BY UNCLE SAHI Washington, Dec. 10.—In order tliat the United States may ■ observe strict neutarlity in tho European war, the Navy Department will not issue this month the usual comparative statement of the warship tonnage of the principal uuval Powers of the world, hitherto is sued in December and July of each year. Instead of attempting to put out a statement corrected to date tho in telligence office of the department to day reissued the statement of July, when all of the nations now at war were pursuing the paths of peace. While the issuance by the United States of a statement setting forth the naval strength of the warring nations might be improper in itself, it was also pointed out that the changes wrought in the various navies by destruction of vessels on the one hand and pur chase and completion of craft on the other would make it quite impossible to compile the necessary data. Tho July statement, reissued to-day, shows Great Britain at the head Of the list with a tonnage of 2,157,850, while the other nations, in the order of their tonnage, are Germany, United States, France, Japan, Italy, Russia and Aus tria-Hungary. This statement shows that with the completion of vessels built and building July 1 the order would be Great Britain, Germany, Prance, United States, Japan, Bussia, Italy, Austria-Hungary. This latter calculation would place the United States fourth instead of third among the world naval Powers. LONE VOTER AGAINST GERMAN WAR LOAN EXPLAINS ACTION Amsterdam, via London, Doe. 10, 7.51 A.
