GERMAN U,BoATS.

A MsTERDAM has it that Germany began the
n U.boat ruhessness with between 400 and 500 craft
and has lost between 80 and 100 in the nets set by
the British navy If the first set Of figures right there
/. at least this comfort in them-here can't be much
foundation in the report that Germany has all along been
building huge commercial feet for use at the end Of the
war in recovering the lost German overseas trade.
Submarines do not grow on trees. Some of the later
type employed by Germany are really huge affairs and
even if their construction is standardized and sysemazed
so that sy can be turned out like row boats, they require
large amount of steel and iron for the hus alone, while
the motive power venilatns and lighting machinery must
present problem that taxes even the resourcefu German
scientists
We cannot expect to get the facts until the end Of the
conflict and may be that we never will know all of them,
but does seem that if Germany after throwing her entire
ship building resources into the work is doing than
keeping ahead Of the British METERS she is achieving Won
