A correspondent of the New Yorkl

Times writes:

‘ NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 1916_

To tpe Editor of The New York'

imes: '

In your issue of Nov. 8 you pub-

Iishe-;i a wireless message from Ber- lin purporting to give statistics con-, cerning the war losses sustained by the British navy to date. This mess-I .igo obviously emanated from the' foreign branch olltho official Wolgki 1'GleiZl`f1Dll Bureau, which has su`fil-I cient candor to print on its lettci'-‘ heads s. note to tho effect thatitl do-es not guarantee the- accuracy of any item of"news ii. circualtes. l In the interest of truth, may I

crave a little space in order to cor- rect and supplement the naval sta- tistics given in the message referred to? 'lt states that the British loss in battleships and cruisers alone now stands at 501,790 tons a wilful ex- aggeration of the actual total to tho exent of nearly 50,000 tons, The fol lc-wing is a complete list of all the British battleships and cruisers which have been loth to date; Ou- dacious, King Edward Vll, Triumpii, Bulwark, Formidablo, Ilrresistible, Ocean, Goliath, Russeil|, Majestic, Queen Mary. lndofatlgable, Invlnc-I ible, Defence Warrior, Argyll, Good Hope, Mommouth, Aboukir, Cressy Htgue, Nottingham, F‘almoi`ith,` Aro thusa. Amphion, Hawke, Pathfinder. Hermes, Pegasus- aggregate dia-` placement 386,765 tons. In addition about thirty destroyers (not fifty) and twenay-iivc submarines (not seventy-six) have been lost. | For purposes of cdiiipsrison is is worth while to set forth the corres I pondlng Gorman losses, about which Berlin maintains an eloquent sil-I ence. The fc-llowing list takes into consideration only those losses whichi have been positively verified, and deals only with battleships and| cruisers: "A" (Kaiser class). "B",

(Kaiser class), Westfalen. "C"' (Doutsch"md class), Pommern, Lut- zow, Seydlitz. Von der Tann, Biut- cher, Scharnhorst Gneisenau, Yorck, Frledrick Karl. Prinz Adslbert, Wie- sbaden, Rostock, Frankfurt, Elbing. Karlshrue, Magdeburg, Koln, Mainz,l

We’ should perhaps be justified in sddiiigl to the German list the Go-oben (22.

at Constantinople, are- lost to Ger- many for the duration of tho war. and it is highly doubtful whetnei they will ever see Germany again.

With regard to the British list, it

should be observed that. with one

ous, every battleship or cruiser thaL| has been lost has been officially an- nounced by tbe British Admiralty. A dismetrlcoil opposite policy has been pursufii by the German Admir nity, which habitually conceals every loss unless the tact becomes known from ifeutiial sources. lit was not un til survivors \fi-om the ships had been picked up by Danish and Dutch iishei-men that Germany acknowiedg ed the sinking of the giant battle cruiser Lutsow and the cruisers Wiesbaden Rostock, Eibing and, Fra- ueulob in the Jutland fifight.

Few impartial naval experts who

are in touch with all the facts would hesitate iti add 50,000 tons or more to the tc-tal of German losses, but as certain of those losses’ cannot be pos itiveiy identinsd_ .

16, the largest drec'JB ever b““;;i “I Canada, for the D098"-ment of ar ins and Fislieric.-i, was launched on Saturday at the ship-buildings w0l‘kS of the Canadian Vickers Limltedf Mnisonncuve, by Mrs. Hazen. WW? 0 Hon. J. D. Hazen, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Canada. The_d°redge. whlich was built by the Canadian Vic- kers Limited for the use of the de- partment in making the north channel Beaujeu, about thirty-five miles below Quebec, passable for big ships in ggrvirce on the Atlantic, is 292 feet in length, 48 feet in breadth, with a depth of 20 feet, 6 inches, capable of dredging at a depth of 57 feet, and' has a capacity of 1,500 tons per hour.

At a luucheoii at the Ritz Carlton

Hotel after the launchdng Hon. Mr. Hazen gave an address on shipbuilding in Canada. many prominent citizens being present. “During the present year," he said, “real and substantial progress has been made in the- dibrec- tion oi’ establishing the shipbuilding industry on a permanent and profit- able basis."

He referred' to plants at Montreal.,

Toronto, Collingwood, Port Arthur, and Vancouver, splendidly equipped for the construction 'of steel ships and' in addition he mentioned,the suc- cessful buildiiig of wooden vessels in a large number of yards in N_ova Scotia, lntimating that tbiere is a re- turn of the prosperity of former years in this industry in the Maritime Pro- vinces. The minister said the bulld- ilng of wooden ships in Vancouver has been undertaken seriously in the pre- sent year and a large number of the highest class auxiliary schooners for use lin the timber trade between Brit- ish Columbia and' Australia and` the Orient are under construction of sev- eral large steel frcighte-rs by the Wal- lace Shipyards and J. Coughlan and Son, of Vniiooiiver.

As a result of -so many Norwegian

vessels having been destroyed by ene~ my submarines abd mines, Canadian yards have secured' a number of con- tracts for ship for Norway: Follow- ing the outbreak of the- war the Ddm- inion Parliament took stops to pio- hibit thio export of shiips from Canada without first obtaining a/,pproval from the government. in order that the ship-build-ling industry should be help- cd' along the government' has granted permission for the export of ships to be constructed' as follows:

1. Messrs. J. Coughlan and Son.
