submarine supremacy from the Ger
mans to the English. Three months
ago no one would have had the hardi-
hood to predict that the day was
near when German submarines
would be driven from the North sea
and that English submarines would
be creating a reign of terror in the
Baltic. The English undersea boats
are operating from Russian bases
and have been sinking two or three
German vessels day, some of them
ships of 1000 to 5000 tons. Whether
the British submarine warfare will
prove more effective than the Ger
man submarine operations is prob
lematical. 1t must not be lost sight
of that whereas every English vessel
was only one in more than 25,000
English vessels afloat, every German
is an appreciable percentage of the
total number of German vessels
still able to ply the seas, or
rather one sea-the Baltic.
In the Mediterranean the German
submarines are still active and are
assisted by Austrian undersea boats.
They have caused the loss of 20 or 30
vessels within the last two months.
