Allies Will Have Submarines in
Hand in Six Weeks
LOST TONNAGE IS REPLACED
Two-Thirds Of Shipping Destroyed
Since War Opened Has Been
Made Up.

London, Feb. In the House OF
Lords yesterday Admiral Baron Beres
ford, drawing attention to the sub
marine menace and asking what
measures had been taken to meet 1t,
said: I'VE have lost since the be-
ginning of the war 100000 tons OF
shipping. That is fact which the
public should know, but it is not near,
ly as serious as it appears. We have
made up the loss very considerably.
Three million tons which have been
lost have been more or less adequate
ly filed. There is not the slightest
necessity for panic. We have done
remarkably well and shall do a great
deal better in future, but we have had
time to face 1t and it is to that time
that desire to call attention"
The country, Baron Beresford con-
tinued, had been informed in August,
1915 that the submarine menace was
well in hand AS far as he could
gather, it was nearer coming to be
well in hand today, owing to the new
ideas brought to the admiralty by
men fresh from the sea who had had
experience in this novel form of war
fare and its mysteries. In conclusion
Baron Beresford, while acknowledge
ing the submarine menace was seri-
Gus, said it would not be fatal men
ace and he was confident that in six
weeks or SO the nation would have
the submarines really in hand.
The earl of Lytton, replying for
the admiralty, said the government
would be glad if it were possible to
take the public entirely into its con-
fidence, but that would involve inn
parting information TO the enemy, and
the admiralty was determined the Ger
mans should have that information
by experience and not through ques-
tions in Parliament. All the expe.
dients suggested by Baron Beresford
we're being pressed forward with the
utmost energy together with many
others, he continued even in addition
to those mentioned by Earl Curzon on
February T. Every device that hui
man ingenuity could frame was be-
ing employed.

night of February IL
WARNINGS Heretofore GIVEN
Berlin Denies Ships Have Been Sunk
Without Opportunity to Save
Lives of Crews.

Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-All periods OF
grace for neutral ships entering the
zones announced as prohibited by
Germany now have expired, according
to a Berlin official statement received
here. The statement said that i'm
munity ceased in respect to the At
lantic and English channel zones on
the night OF the 18th for the North sea
zone on the 9th and for the Mediter-
ranean zone on the 10th
1t continues: From now on, there
fore in all prohibited zones the warn
ing which has been issued Is in full
force, and shipping can no longer ex-
pect individual warning. Vessels
which enter the prohibited areas do
so with a full knowledge of the dan
gers threatening them and their
crews. 1t is expressly stated that all
news spread from enemy sources
about any torpedoing of ships with
out warning before dates mentioned
for the various prohibited areas is
incorrect
The periods of grace mentioned
were also in force for enemy passen-
ger vessels because it was possible
that they were carrying neutral pas
sengers who were perhaps ignorant
of the new blockade regulations

WHY HOLLAND HEsiTATEs
Germany Concentrates Troops on Her
Border.

dispatch from Copenhagen by way
of London Monday, says that five
German army corps concentrated on
the Holland frontier furnish fairly
convincing explanation, in default OF
other reasons, for the failure of the
Dutch government to adopt the policy
toward Germany recommended by
President Wilson on account Of the
Ger man submarine campaign. That
German troops were assembling in
fairly large numbers in the vicinity
of the Holland border had been the
subject OF gossip in Berlin military
circles for several weeks before Dr..
Won Bethmann Hollweg's announce
ment of the new submarine campaign.
Their presence there at a time
when Germany was talking of peace
instead of a policy that would weigh
most heavily upon neutral interests,
was then usually explained as a pre-
cautionary measure or even merely
characterized as part of plan for the
distribution of strategic reserves for
the spring campaign. Such reserves
before the enemy's plans and place of
attack developed usually are con-
centrated at a spot well behind the
battlefront where there are good rail-
way lines for moving them to a men
aced point on the front as soon as the
opponents main effort definitely is es-
tablished. Accordingly. some doubt
was raised concerning the latter ex-
PLANTATION.
Rumors we're heard. too. in neutral
quarters in Berlin before the depar-
ture of the Associated Press CORE
spondent. that flaw had been discov
cred in Hollands strategic scheme of
defense against Germany, which. as
is known involves flooding parts of
the country in front of the selected
first line of defense. According to
these reports, it had been discovered
that attempts to flood these districts
would lay under water far greater
area than had been contemplated and
would throw the general scheme of
Hollands defense into cenfusion.

has rebelled, together with his forces.
Communication with Camaguey re-
mains completely cut off No trains

Among the stories in circulation

to sell it 10000 rifles and 100000
