can Waters 10 Negligible.
London, April 1.-THE most useful
contribution that the United States
can make against the German subma.
rfnes, in the opinion of Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe, former commander of
the British grand fleet and now first
sea lord. is anything and everything
in the way of small craft, from de.
stroyers to tugs.
In this connection the first sea
lord asserted that the best hunting
ground for raiders is on this side OF
the water. as the possibility Of Ger
man submarines operating on the
American coast 10 almost negligible
unless they have q base on that side.
II have no desire to minimize to the
American people," said the admiral
the serious situation prevailing as a
result Of the illegal use of submarines
by the Germans. Neither 10 It easy
for us to take them into our conf.
dence and tell them what we are do
ing to cope with the evil without pro-
viding the Germans with useful in
formation.
"No methods existed in the past for
fighting the submerged submarine and
the new inventions and processes for
that purpose take time to develop. We
are giving your navy all the informa.
tion in our possession, and, knowing
its record. we have great confidence
that American inventive genius will
supplement II with valuable contribu
tions
"As far as the fesding of the allied
population is concerned, our efforts
must be concentrated on saving ton
mage, while bringing in the necessary
supplies, in order to minimize the ef
feet Of the submarine warfare. As
you probably know. We have bought
large quantities of wheat in Australia
but as the round voyage take -four
times as long as that to America the
bringing OF this wheat takes four
times as much tonnage as the carry
ing of American wheat to the allied
powers. We therefore, require all the
wheat we can obtain from America
and Canada.
Our situation is by no means as
desperate as the Germans want to no
lieve II is, but on the other hand, It is
more serious than many Of our own
people realize. Our own shipping suf
fered very little more in March than
during the first month Of unrestricted
submarine warfare, and other tonnage
sunk during that period was in much
the same position, and there is no
very marked method Of combating the
evil. What has been accomplished is
the result OF inventions and processes
which take time to develop and the
government is we'll aware Of the fact
that immediate results could not be
expected"
