AIaTmisfs Discredifed
(From the New York TrIbupe).

s'When I went TO the Admiralty"
said Sir Eric Geddes the other day,
q thought knew all about the deeds
OF the navy but / didn't. ! have now
seen the records and reports-some-
thing that you cannot put into the
papers. Don't be impatient with
the navy"
His appeal was plainly addressed
to those well-meaning but impulsive
critics whose nerves have been.
shaken by the ravages OF the sub
marines, who have worried them
selves into the conviction that the
navy has constantly been hampered
by timid or .wrong-headed leaders. and
who long since came to the concu.
SION that unless the whole system
was changed and the fleets placed I'M
der the control OF another school OF
thought''-for that is the current
phrase-we should infallibly be
ruined.
The figures given out by Mr.. Lloyd
George last week must have proved
as great a surprise to these prophets
of disaster as they did TO all but
those who, like Sir Uric Geddes, have
had access to the records at the Ad-
mlralty Not that the true state Z
affairs Is entirely satisfactory, or that
the critics were uniformly wide of
the mark IN their guesses. The sink
ings for April, the worst month, we're
indeed already known approximately
Il was certain that in British vessels
alone the tonnage amounted 10 well
over half = million-560,0 900 Is the &C.
tual figure. as given by Mr.. Lloyd
George. But the reassuring circuni-
, stance is the remarkable decline IN
the tonnage destroyed, TO 100000 IN
June and to about $4,000 in July
OF this the most Industrious critics Of
the Admiralty were apparently ignor
ant for in their discussions of the
problem they commonly proceeded on
the assumption that little or nothing
had been done to reduce submarine
losses in the last six months.
II the figures given to the House OF
Commons are correct most OF the
estimates hitherto have been grossly
Inaccurate. Only a month ago Lord
Beresford-and his estimate was by
no means the highe st-told a cores,
pendent OF THE New York Times"
that since the first OF February the
total LOSS had been at the rate OF
more than 10000 tons a year. By
no stretch Of imagination is It con.
ceivable that the figure is as high as
that. though the most liberal allow.
ance be made for the losses Of neu
trails and Allies.
But II Lord Beresford exaggerated
he did good service in urging the
publication Of the tonnage figures
The Admiralty's method OF announ.
cling losses was never enlightening
enough to the public, and he always
held that there was nothing TO be
gained by secrecy Sir Edward Car
son was Of the same opinion. and last
year, before he became First Lord
he protested strongly against the gov
ernments ambiguous announcements
