New York, March 14.-Fear Of German
U-boats caused the British Admiralty
to double the patrol of cruisers and de-
stroyers in the Irish Sea and close the
port Of Liverpool for two days
The American liner St. Paul, which
sailed from Liverpool on Saturday night
a week ago and arrived here today, was
overhauled by a cruiser just as she had
left the mouth of the Mersey and was
proceeding toward the Irish coast.
The cruiser suggested the safest pro-
cedure would be for her to return to
the Mersey and remain there until word
was received that no submarines were
around. This delayed the St Paul Il
hours. as 1t was we'll toward noon on
Sunday before she started for New York

War Tenant
Mr.. Tenant stated that the provision
of aeroplanes was now satisfactory and
even ahead of the supply of engines and
pilots.
The under-secretary for war dwelt at
length, in his address to commons, on
the question OF enlistments and tie supply
Of men. He stated that the govern
ment and the minister of munitions were
considering especially the question Of
single men entering munitions factories
to escape military service.
The difficulties experienced in keeping
the recruiting at a high mark were ex-
planned at length by the speaker. Where,
at the beginning of the war, he said
men concealed their physical defects in
order to enlist, 1t now is the habit to
feign defects in order to escape service.
Mr.. Tenant paid a striking tribute to
the discipline of the men, considering
their short training.
Referring to prisoners of war, the under
secretary announced that there are now
nineteen concentration camps in the
United Kndgom against seventy-two in
Germany. Five German ministers, he said
have been appointed to guard the spiritual
welfare and watch out for interests of
German prisoners of war.

He characterized the system

words:

over 5000 United States troops

not pathetic, it would be farci-
