"Lastly, there is the British army with effectives ready to fight and confident 'in their strength to hold as many active German army corps as there are British. "The German numbers in the west- ern theatre have materially varied of late.

Expects War To End From General Exhaustion. New York, April 3. Hill thinks tober 1st, By that time, he says, there will be physical, financial, and industrial exhaustion among the bel- ligerents. Successes of one gide or the other in the meantime, accord- ing to Mr. Hill, will not be determin- ing factors. Mr. Hill aga as to the general business in this country. There was sufficient grain in this country now to go around, he said, but the high prices now prevail- ing would result in greatly increased acreage of wheat this year. He esti- mated that the acreage planted in Germany, Austria and France would be between 40 and 45 per cemt. un- der the average. Next year, he thought, with the war at an end, wheat might fall to 70 cents a bus- hell. The European laborers would turn back to the earth after the war for a living, and would be great fac- tors in increasing the world's wheat supply and in driving prices down. James J.

Trawlers had hitherto been immune from attack. The British steamer Eston, the crew of which was landed yesterday at Lisbon was not lost in the storm, as at first reported but was sunk by the German submarine U-28, sixty miles off Cape Finisterre, according to a Reuter despatch from Lisbon. A decided extension in the ran~: of operations by German submar- ines is indicated by the exploit ot the U-28 off the coast of Spain. It is more than 700 miles from Cape Finisterre to nearest German sub marine base. The Cape is about of Gibraltar. The Dutch steamer Schieland, bound from Hull for Rotterdam with a cargo of coal, was blown up Thursday morning about 11.50 o'clock, twenty-four miles east-south east of Spurn in the North Sea. The explosion occurred amidships, and one of the crew was blown to pieces | Seven others, were drowned. the North London, April 3.-~--Two more neu tral ships have been blown up and sunk in the North Sea with a loss of seven lives and a British steamer torpedoed off the coast of Spain, as added toll in the "bread war," being prosecuted by the Germans against Great Britain.
