of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-

WOULD NEED 2s4 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
ber to EffectuaIIy Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
rines are based at Zeebrugge. the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations off the ports of
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently 1t
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts of England, Scotland and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade If
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
face of defensive operations which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines, and double that number
would be none too many If the min
imum number of three boats be al
lowed for each port, the Germans
would require at least 147 constantly
on station to close all the ports Of
Great Britain; that is, allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 submarines.-World Work.
