ADMIRALTY
IS TAKEN TO TASK
Has Failed to Cope With Sub
marine Menace, London
Press Declares.
SITUATION is SERIOUS

BY tie Associated Press.
LONDON. April 2T-The frequent
claims OF Germany that her submarine
warfare Is succeeding beyond hopes will
doubtless be regarded in that country
as fully Justified as a result of the
publication of last weeks losses to
shipping in yesterdays newspapers
The official returns of last weeks
sinkings and the menace to Great
Britain's food supply implied in it are
referred to today by the morning news
papers. which unanimously emphasize,
with exceptional prominence, of type
and space, the seriousness of the Z
boat campaign and the imperative
necessity for food saving.
Special articles and editorials discuss
the outlook with emphatic and in some
cases extreme gravity. Some of the
writer's attack the admiralty for not
coping more successfully with the Y
boats and others give it advice. while
all of them insist that the people are
eating far too much and say that II
they do not curb their appetites disaster
is inevitable.

Shipbuilding Slow.

There have been. from time to time,
complaints in the newspapers that the
war office has unduly denuded the ship
building industry of needful labor and
material and that the construction of
new ships is neither speedy enough nor
upon large enough scale to, replace lost
shipping.
Lord Lytton's statement in the house
Of lords seemed to indicate that more
ships might be built II more material We're
available. Another result of the subma-
rine warfare will be seen III the smoother
passage through parliament OF the bill to
encourage the cultivation of land or the
corn production b.ll'' as 1t is sometimes
called Many critics of the measure are
now willing TO admit that the submarine
menace makes the bill imperative, and
thcr. is little likelihood that obstructive
tactics against the measure will be pur-
sued III committee.

Few Heed Warning.

capt Charles Bathurst, parliamentary
secretary to the food ministry, told a
public audience yesterday that the con-

pounds a head of the whole population.
instead of the prescribed four pounds.
The newspapers print statements to the
effect that hardly one person In ten has
needed the warning given by Lord
Devonport, the food controller. when he
put the public on its honor to observe
the ration limit All the papers say that
the food crisis is a serious one. Some
OF the journals assert that ratloning

Appeal to Americans.

The Morning Post, in commenting on
the situation, casts an eager glance to
America. 1t admits that time must
elapse before American help is possible.
but says:
1--WE ask our American friends to
take the whole situation very seriously
into account. 1t is useless to imagine
either that the submarine warfare upon
commerce is not a main factor in the
war or that some happy invention may
defeat the submarine. 1t probably will
be defeated. but it would be suicidal to
reckon on this"

Saw Failure Is Undenied.

The Daily News says: Failure of the
admiralty to cope with the tremendous
task thrust upon 1t is a mere fact un-
denied by any one. Possibly nobody
would have done better than Sir Edward
Carson (frst lord of the admiralty, but
Sir Edward has failed. 1t is conceivable
that no other administrative order than
that which rules within the admiralty
would have succeeded. but that order
has failed"
The Daily Chronicle says: I'VE have
repeatedly pressed for an overhauling
of the admiralty because, on the evil
dence before us, which is very much
more far-reaching than We can print, we
are convinced that it is an urgent ma
tional necessity.
This newspaper demands the reor-
ganation of the admiralty on the war
staff line and the employment on the
central staff work of the abiest Of young
officers, fresh from actual experience in
submarine warfare.
The Daily Express sees a vision of
the creation Of an immense German fleet
of mine layers with the object of SOW
ing the worlds seas with mines. The
newspaper tells the admiralty that it's
only way out OF the difficulty is to de-
wise means for making it impossible for
U-boats ito get out of their holes, or,
if out, to get back.

board which allows U-boats to sink
fifty-five British ships in a week need
expect no gratitude. We expect it to

tinue they need not expect the coun-
