The under-sea operations have a pendu-

paratively heavy. September showed a
big drop. the actual figures for four weeks
being even lower than the estimate ]
cabted at the time from Paris on October
3. The Germans must have become
alarmed and made extra efforts, for to-
ward the end Of October the English and
American defenders observed a greater
number Of submarines at work on the
Atlantic than had ever before been known,
though, owing to the organized defense,
the aggregate sinkings totaled only one
half the high mark Of April
The Germans evidently exhausted
themselves in the October effort, as the
low returns in the first part of No
vember clearly indicate. The boats
broke down. the crews wore out and
the effect Of the strain was otherwise
evidenced. The delicate machinery
constantly needs repair and crews to
man the submarines are increasingly
difficult to obtain. We are experiencing
a similar difficulty in America, where,
despite the inexhaustible supply OF
raw manpower. men for the new de-
stroyers coming out shortly are hard
to get.
