Although the submarine losses in April had been 56o- GOO tons, they had decreased until the average for July and August would be 175. GOO tons net each.

| resulted in announcement of numer
Gus naval changes in the house OIL
commons today by Sir Edward Carson
! Carson himself, apparently has wealth
cred the storm of criticism and re
tains his cabinet place as first lord
of the admiralty.
Foremost in the changes announc
ed is the appointment of Sir John
Jellicoe, first sea lord, as chief OF
the naval staff. The new post is In
addition TO his command as first
sea lord. Sir Henry oliver was
named deputy chief.

Edward Carson announced to the
house, "is to free the naval staff

ondly, to strengthen the ship build
Ing department of the admiralty"
Sir John Jellicoe was the main
figure in the last admiralty shakeup
by which Admiral Sir Henry Jackson
was retired from the post OF first
sea lord The cry then was for young
blood in the navy. Jellicoe became
first sea lord and Admiral Sir David
Beatty commander in chief Of the
main battle fleet. OF recent weeks a
storm of criticism of the admiralty
has been brewing of such size as TO
lead to belief that Sir Edward Car
sons retirement would be forced. The
naval administration was attacked
first because of concealment of exact
losses of allied merchantmen Of the
submarine warfare; secondly be-
cause it was charged the number OF
merchantmen sunk indicated lack Of
initiative and energy by the navy in
running down the undersea craft;
thirdly, because Of lack of any COM
prehensiye ship building plan father
ed by official sources. The North
cliffe newspapers pounded away con-
tinually, against the admiralty and in
the house OF commons there were
numerous exceedingly pointed crit
icisms of naval administration. One
other complaint was against the fire.
