drawn from the controller OF shipping.
Sir Joseph Maclay. q statement which.
rather takes ones breath away at first,
reading, namely, that, if the United
States are to SEND he army they are
raising across and are to maintain it on
this side, American ship yards must
turn out 100000 tons OF shipping a
year.; three times as much, that is, as
our yards have ever turned out in their
most prosperous ear Of peace. In two
years, this would mean turning u
about half the pre-war total Of the
whole mercantile marine Of the British
empire. Add the ~pre-existing tonnage
or the American merchant navy and
that Of the informed enemy ships, and
someIdea will be formed of the size OF
the business to which our cousins have
set their hands. Only a comparatively
small portion v Of the first years
output, OF course, can be ready at the
start, and 1t is evident that Sir Joseph
Maclay's estimate is based on the need
OF an expanding effort, prolonged over
many months.
1t was not, however, his Intention to
lecture The Americans on what they
U do. but to warn US that the hands
OF U allies will be more than full, and
that we U rely on our own
TO Keep our available tonnage adequate
to U needs. The output o f new mer-
chant ships has not yet come UP to
expectation, and if the Germans had not
been equally disappointed with the re-
suits of their amiable enterprise. wa
should shortly be in danger Of finding
ourselves In what is vulgarly but ex-
pressively known as queer street." In
last we relied on being able to
add the output of the American build
ing yards to our own. That hope has
failed US owing to the needs of the
Americans themselves as Farticipators
IN the common cause We want, there
rore, more new tonnage than was then
estimated for, and we are actually on
the way to obtain less. That is the
situation against which Sir Joseph
Maclay warns us. Meanwhile. the de-
mands for ships for our own military
purposes has again increased Of late.
Fortunately, the signs Of the defeat
OF the U-boat campaign continue to ac-
cumulate. September was the worst
month the pirates have yet experienced.
and the last week of September was the
worst week. Mr. Churchill, In his speech.

that he U-boats are defeated. do
not think any one has ever meant to
imply that their d~epredations are at an
end. But II 1t Is certain that their main
purpose cannot now be accompiished-
n that Is what we are now told on
every handsomely that is tantamount
to defeat. 1t Is neck or nothing with
the Germans. and If they do not get the
neck, they get nothing.

Americas Gigantic Task.
Gerard Fiennes, in th. London Observer.

Hearty as has been the welcome ac-
corded to the United States as an ally,
1t has been impossible for those who
have thought the matter out from the
point of view of sea power to conceal
from themselves the fact that the de-
cision to bring a great American army
over to the. European battlefields could
not but Drove an embarrassing drain
upon the ollnag available to the allies,
even If the German submarine cam
paign should fail. Pior to the collapse
OF Russia as a fighting force, it was
even maintained-in this column as
we'll as elsewhere-that the general
cause you'd best be. served If the
Americans refrained from sending an
army to the battle front, but aided us
with shipping, naval and mercantile,
with money and materials. Events,
however, have upset calculations on the
eastern front, and, by hook or crook, our
friends from across the Atlantic are
coming into the field to redress the dis
their last hope of making a drawn fight
OF 1T on he ability of the U-boats to
prevent the appearance OF the Ameri-
cans on their 'front.'. This fact brings
out more clearly than ever what has
always been true-that sea power is the
etermln1ng factor Of the struggle.
Let the case once more be stated in
the barest simplicity. The population
OF this country are on n side OF the
Atlantic, and the bulk of their food sup
PLY is produced on the other. A million
more non-producers, let us say, are go
10 be transported to hat side where
their food Is not, and, if they are to
exist over here, their food and other
things necessary for them must follow
them. Europe cannot supply them.
calculations have shown that, let the
U-boats do the worst they are likely
20 DO, we have still just enough ton
mage, in hand or in sight, to enable us
to carry on. But there is not enough
also to transport a great American
army over 1900 miles Of sea and to
maintain it there. We are adding to the
NUMBER OF our merchant ships at q rate
which, II nothing unforeseen happens.
viii enable us about to make good the
aepredatlons of the U-boats. We looked
Tor something moro than ships building
70 British orders in American yards.
But these, 1t seems, the Americans
themselves intend to requisition. and
II Is impossible, under the circum-
stances, to quarrel with their decision.
But, under all these circumstances. and
having lent tonnage, moreover. to orr
other allies, it is patiently impossible
that we a lend more to the Americans
Tor the purpose of moving and supply
Ing their army. They must rely on their
own resources.
Considerations such as these have

WHAT WE LEARN FROM SOLDIERS.

Soldiers are neither fat nor thin.
There is no obesity among them. or
only little. On the other hand, there
are q few men who are much below
weight. It is true that the entrance ex-
.aninations weed out all men who are
constitutionally OF the 5lean-and nun
gry-Cassius type. but it does not weed
out those who tend to get obese as they
get older.
There is very little stomach trouble
villains they do not have acidity Of the
stomach, dyspepsia, neualgia OF the
stomach, stomach ulcer, nor their share
OF the stomach lis which civilians talk
about by h hour. The reason is that
they ave a. carefully worked out die

The American ration Is short on

cakes n other sweets and trash from
tents around the camp. The greater
part of this tendency is due to the fact
that the American eats too much
sweets. The army dieticians know 1t
mi regulate diets accordingly, but the
soldiers buy on the side what their
pampered palate calls for. But a part
of the desire for sweets has d better

AGRICULTURE BILL CARRIES

Washington, Jan. 9-The house late
today passed the agriculture bill ear
rying approximately $25,000,0O0 and
providing $4,000 for an investigation,
proposed by Representative Mann, Illi-
nois, Of manipulation Of food products,
and methods Of their production, trans
portation, storage, preparation, market
ing and manufacture.
The house previously had adopted an
amendment giving employees who get
less than $1,000 year 10 per cent
increase in salary, with five per cent
increases for those getting between
1920 and $500.
