During the last quarter the Ger
mans lost rs many submarines as
they lost in 1916" said Sir Eric.
The output Of merchant shipping
in the first nine months Of this year,
he said. was 1913 per cent higher
than IN the corresponding period last
year. The admiralty had decided
that four new shipbuilding yards
would be necessary.
U-I,ont Losses Greater.
Sir Eric said he regretted 1t had
not been found possible to ar, i've at
q basis for publication of British tom
mage losses by submarine action
without giving information to the en-

The losses Of merchantmen in Oc-
t0ber, hc said, were very slightly
worse than In September. Enemy
submarines were being sunk to az
increasing extent, but the Germans

In September, Sir Eric continued,
there was afloat on the high seas an
Increase Of 20 per cent in numbers
and 80 per cent in tonnage of Brit
ish ships, as compared with April.
He announced the governments
intention Of appointing al additional
civil lord OF tho admiralty and said
the attention OF the first sea lord
would be devoted wholly to naval
STAFF matters.

No Assistance for Russia.
Replying to the criticism that the
fleet had not been sent to assist Rus

ration would occupy considerable
time, and that there were extensive
mine fields. Responsible naval opin-

not one which should be taken.
