AS a result of the German U-boat
menace, discussed with surprising
frankness by the British ministry
Of marine, the foremost augztien,

Allies is disposition OF American
tonnage.
The United Press is able TO state
on highest authority that the grave
question has arisen whether the
United States is perhaps crowding
her side of the struggle in forcing
over thousands of soldiers al this
time instead of moving supplies.
The argument Is advanced in favor
of reducing troop movements to the
other side along these lines:
France alone has million tons
OF supplies tied up on this side OF
the Atlantic which cannot be moved
while American troops are being
transported.
France, Great Britain and Italy
need fuel food. oil, etc, sorely. ship
ment OF which is prevented thru
lack OF tonnage.
Germany's man-power is waning
and a careful compilation completed
by the Allied governments indicates
that the Allied man-power, properly
supplied, can win the war more
quickly than II the present man
power is augmented by thousands OF
American troops. az tho sacrifice OF
facing insufficient supplies thru lack
OF tonnage
The U-boat menace IS not under
estimated by the United States gov
ornment. There is not the slightest
fear that Germany can win thru
her sea scavengers. but there is ap-
preciated the need for very serious
consideration OF the most effective
way to meet the situation created.
