CANNOT MAKE GOOD
LOSSES BY SUBMARINES
Chairman Denman Of Shipping Board
Tells New York Merchants As
ISOLATION Of the Situation.

NO legislation of Congress, no ad-
ministrative effort of the shipping
board and no activity of ship con-
structors can hope to make good for
of the submarines. at the rate of mill
lion tons a month now established"
Chairman Denman of the shipping
board has advised the Merchants AS
ISOLATION of New York.
warfare to commerce at the rate Of
loss now established Is strikingly
brought out by Chairman Denman in
the course of his letter. in which he
says:
1.-THE shipping board is in entire SYM
athy with your difficulties in obtaining
a reasonable rate for overseas trans
portation. As you know. no power has
yet been granted the board to regu-
late such rates. We are in hopes that
relief may be obtained when the COM
Wandering power over vessels is dele
gated.
You must be aware. however, that
with the destruction reaching the rate
Of over million dead weight tons per
month in April and June. all the re-
productions Of stee, vessels and OF
wooden vessels in which a most en-
thusiastic advocate Of either material
can hope for will not replace over
half the tonnage destroyed"
In the postscript the chairman says:
I'm figuring tonnage. 1t should be re-
membered that the reports of losses OF
English vessels where the tonnage is
given refer to gross tons. to which
must be added from 80 to 50 per cent
to reach the dead weight unit on which
the new tonnage to be constructed by
the Emergency Fleet Corporation is
reckoned. 1t should also be remember
ed that the English reports Of sink
ings represent but IS per cent of the
| total. Judging from the figures given
| out during the first two months OF the
sinkings. We understand that the Eng
lish proportion is now higher but at
the same time the size of the vessels
sunk are much larger in tonnage"

ly to be a deep disappointment. Some
newspapers forestall the premier, say
ing that II the explanation Is to be
that there is no airplane defense OF
London because 1t Is needed at the
front the obvious retort Is that there
ought to be enough for both.
The Daily News claims information
that there are plenty of airplanes and
plenty Of pilots and fighters, but they
are not kept ready. If they had been
prepared to rise Immediately, as they
are at the front, the invaders. the
paper says, would have been smother
ed in the proportion of three and four
to one. It is declared that on the oc-
casion of the recent raid at Harwich
warning was given ninety minutes be-
fore the British machine rose. The
Daily News claims that the erganisa-
ton Is defective and ought to be REM
edied.

Importance Of Caution.

Inc Importance of being cautious
70 the last degree was explained by
Representative Esch, who gave as an
example or spy work an ordinary wire
Tess message announcing the death of
little Emily" Representative Esch
said:
There was correspondence presented
20 the committee by an organization in
the city of New York. asking that the
olll be SO amended as to permit the
designated as family or domestic let
ters-that is. letters between members
OF q famtly-but the committee did not
deem 1t wise to open the bill to such
enlargement. And while can realize
how gratifying IT would be to members
Of family resident in the United
States to receive communications from
their relatives resident in the enemy
countries and vice versa. still 1 am
afraid that II you open the door
through the private letter, even though
1t be of domestic concern, 1t may be
possible at n time of danger to com
municate information of great value to
the enemy. In illustration Of that let
me say that during the cutting in proc
ess as the Sayville and Tuckerton wire
less stations here a year ago the cut
ting-in station found that certain
message was being repeated in varied
form for some days at time. The
message was even pathetic, stating in
and such day and Yves buried in such
a part of the cemetery. On It's face n
message of that kind would have no
Interior Significance whatsoever. Yet
because the statement of the death of
little Emily was repeated It gave in the
end a clue through which the key to the
message was discovered. and similar
experience has occurred in reference to
one of the other wireless stations of
the United States. Therefore how easy
1t might be In a domestic letter to
convey come such simple. pathetic do

First Consideration.

'The first consideration before the
government was to insure that the
army in France was supplied suffi-
GENTLY with airp1anes. They were the
army's eyes. without which it was i'm
possible to advance. To photograph
the enemy's works required air su-
premacy, and without that supremacy
it was sheer murder to allow troops
to advance.
Fatal casualties suffered by the
civilian population in the last raid were
very regrettable, but unless the troops
at the front were supplied with suf-
fcient afrplanes to secure proper
knowledge of the German trenches and
positions and to guide the artillery
barrage their losses might easily be
$4,000.
The slightest deficiency in airplane
work and a single machine gun en-
placement overlooked might in a few
minutes mean the loss of thousand
lives. The country's first duty was to
protect these men

Immunity Impossible.

AT the front our machines daily
arc crossing over the German lines,
and. notwithstanding tho most terrible
anti-aircraft fire and very powerful
German air squadrons. they are able
regularly to bomb stations and head
quarters behind the Germn lines. That
Is possible daily in the region where
German airp1anes and anti-aircraft
strength is concentrated most closely
Inc house should realize that no meas
ure would give complete immunity.
The nearest approach to immunity lay
IN making their visits so costly that
they would not become worth the Ger
mans while.
He wished to point out also that
during the last four or five months our
naval bombing airplanes had dropped
more than seventy tons Of explosives
on German airdromes in northern Bel
GUM. and had dropped six tons on
those very airdromes the night preced-
Ing the raid, whereas, the total amount
dropped by the Germans here was only
some two tons.

Aero Capacity Increased.

I'VE in the last six months have in
creased enormously our capacity for
turning out machines" the premier
said. have extended existing works,
built new ones and added more than
$4,000 men to the workmen in the
works The government has quickened
production and enormously improved
the type of machines"
The governments information was
that German capacity production was
inadequate to compete with the provis-
ion Great Britain has made. Up to this
time. however, the increase only had
been gradual as measures taken at an
earlier date had not yet had time to
reach their full fruition. but production
mad was now going up by leaps
and bounds. We would, indeed, have
been far better off but for the strike
in April, which lost US between 10000
and 100000 machines.
The government now hoped soon to
be able to meet not only the require
ments Of the army in France, but to
provide sufficient airplanes to make 1t
impossible for the Germans to come
here without losses which would per-
suade them it was not worth their
while to come.

Tho combined winter and spring

more than last years, with a total Of

Barley. with prospects of the third
largest crop ever grown, will exceed
last years production by 100000

Oats promise to exceed last years

production being forecast at 1,463, 000,-

record. Improvement between now and

ord crop.

Would Please Germans.

IF the Germans realize the import
ance Of this question quite as much as
We. and they were trying to diminish
our superiority by attempting to force
US to withdraw machines from France
in order to protect our home towns; If
the Germans knew by bombing Eng
fish towns they could compel us to
withdraw fighting squadrons from
France, nothing would encourage them
more. Nothing could be more disas-
trous to military operations than to
encourage the Germans to believe that
they could by these raids excite such
a clamor in this country that the gov
eminent would be unable to resist the
demand for the withdrawal of air
planes from the front"
II airplanes could be provided both
at the front and for defense against
raids it would. of course. be done. il not
the farmy must come first and 1t is
vitality important that the Germans
should know 1t. He feared that some
of the articles in the press might pre-
vent the Germans from knowing it.

Twenty-Five airplanes Of the Gotha

London last Saturday. Premier Lloyd
George announced at the secret session

according to the. official account. Three
OF the raiders were destroyed and six
machines Of the protecting squadrons
also were destroyed. Following is the

by giving briefly an account of the raid
He said twenty-five airplanes of the
Gotha bombing type, carrying about
SEQ pounds of explosives apiece. came
over London. OF the three DESTROYED,
one was by the machines actually pro
tecting London. Besides this. out of the
protecting squadrons which the Ger
mans organized to assist the return of
the rafding squadron six machines
were destroyed and one damaged.
The attack. in fact, had not been
made with impunity. He wished to
point out that the first fact the house
should get into its mind was that com
piete protection in tho air could never
