On the sea the year witnessed an
event of surpassing interest. The
German grand fleet, steaming out
from its mine fields and impregnable
harbors at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven,
engaged the British fleet in the
mightiest naval battle of history.
The battle was fought off the coast
of Jutland on May 31. Its results are
so obscured by the conflicting claims
of the combatants that they will prob-
ably not be definitely known until the
war is over, if then. The Germans as.
sert that the- British losses were far
ganda ceased.
Apart from events in the actual war
theatres the most striking event of
the year in connection with the conflict
was an uprising in Ireland in April.
The outbreak was organized by a so-
ciety known as the Sinn Fein, com-
mitted to the principle of an Independ-
ent Ireland. Bloody fighting took
place in Dublin in which hundreds of
lives were lost and the heart of the
business section destroyed, at a cost
of many millions of dollars. The fight
ing was sporadic elsewhere in the
islands and of minor importance. The
revolt was finally crushed and the
ringleaders executed. It led, however,
to an agitation which resulted in the
government preparing a temporary
home rule bill which it expects to pass
through parliament this tall.
The day before the outbreak of the
rebellion Sir Roger Casement, form
erly in the British consular service,
was arrested on the west coast of Ire-
land where he had attempted to land
a cargo of arms sent from Germany.
Hr was tried for high treason and
sentenced to death.
No definite figures can be given of
the cost of the great war in blood
and gold but the most reliable esti-
mates present figures so vast that
they become practically meaningless.
In March, 1916, the United States
General Army Staff estimated that
the total losses in men to all the bet-
ligerents since the war began were
13,033.000.
As to the money question figures
are more reliable but still vague They
present sums which are so beyond
anything previously known to inter
national finance, so impossible of any
human comparison that they become
little more than a jumble of figures.
In March Dr. Karl Helferrich, secre-
dary of the Imperial treasury of Ger-
many, estimated that the war was
costing all the combatants $375,000,000
a week or eleven and a half billion
collars a year. William Michaelis, an-
other German financial expert, put
the yearly cost at the vaster sum of
fifteen billions and other financial au-
thorities gave even higher figures.
On July 17 Reginald McKenna,
British' chancellor of the exchequer,
stated in the house of commons that
the expenditures for (front Britain
alone were $30,000,000 daily. He did
not say, however, how much of this
incredible sum represented war ex
