CHICAGO. Feb 2l.--The advent

n question OF waiting now until the

The real work OF eliminating
booze from the nation has already
been accomplished and national pro-

come-thru the state-by-stste pro-

pered, Is Belief

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-Germany'E
hope OF starving out" England by
her submarine "ruthlessness" has
gone giimmering. in the view OF the
British. The relentless" U-boat
war is declared 10 have hardly made
a dent In the vast commerce OF the
United Kingdom. On the other
hand. the public implicitly believes
British defensive measures have
caused numerous German losses.
There was great hope expressed that
some statement OF these losses by
the Germans in capture or destruc-
ton OF their sub-surface boats by
the British would be made by Sir
Edward Carson today. The first lord
of the admiralty was due TO make
his first detailed speech as a minis
ter In presenting the naval budget
10 the house OF commons.
Sir Edward is known personally
10 favor greater publicity for the op.
erations OF the anti-Eubmarine
guards. but any revelations OF cap
lures or sinkings OF U-bosts would
be contrary To policy OF silence 10
which the British government has
adhered since the start OF the war
But IL the admiralty lord does not
bare these facts. he is at least eI.
pected formally 10 announce the o'.
fetal figures OF shipping cloarances
and OF losses by submarines and
mines.
London newspapers during the
past fev days have reflected a sen
timent fostered by certain group
OF Britons urging that Admiral Lord
Fisher again be given a voice In ad-
miralV councils and granted free
hand 20 cope with the submarine
problem. The former sea lord is
known 20 have certain plans 20 this
end. but is quoted by his advocates
as being unwilling 10 put them into
operation unless given a free rein.
The Northclire newspapers are bit
terly combating such change,
whereby Fisher. who is now ~
years of age. would be put Ia charge
OF work now carried on by younger
and more energetic men.
