Admiral Pleads for Army.

Admiral Jellicoe said he was not
there to ask for more men for the navy,
but for the army. Nobody knew better
than naval men that the navy alone
could not win the war; the navy's bust
ness was to enable the army to reach
it's destination and get supplies
The navy cannot get at the Ger
mans" said the first sea lord, because
the German ships stay in their ports
Therefore, If the war is to be won, we
must have men for the army"
referring to submarines Admiral
Jellicoe ventured the belief that there
never was a more difficult task than
dealing with them set to any navy
Formerly submarines attacked mer-
chantmen on the surface, but when
merchantmen armed for defense, the
submarines Were obliged to attack I'M
der the water. This limited the activ-
ity of the submarines, but it also made
the attack more difficult to counter. In
order to give security, the admiralty
had large numbers of small craft In
this connection he appealed to the
workers to do their utmost to turn out
these small craft as well as merchant
ships.

Submarine Menace Grave.

Nobody in England, said the admiral,
should minimize the gravity of the sub
marine menace. There was not a sole
sovereign remedy for submarining-a
combination of devices was necessary,
and fresh schemes were daily intro
duced. He explained that the losses of
enemy submarines We're not published
because it was impossible to be GER
tain whether they were sunk volun-
tarily or involuntarily, and cases We're
infrequent when the survivors of a
submarine which had been sunk in
voluntarily could be found, because
when submarine was attacked all
hands We're gotten inside as quickly as
possible.
While it was fact that the sub
marines were not by any means getting
off scot-free Admiral Jellicoe declared
there undoubtedly was a serious time
before the country and therefore econ
omy in food consumption was neces-
Sary.

DECLARES GERMANY

British Progress Bound to Be
Slow, Says Chief of Staff,
Gen. Robertson.
ASKS FOR 100000 MEN

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April Gen. Sir William r.
Robertson chief of the imperial staff
at army headquarters, addressed a con-
ference of trades unionists for the pur-
pose of explaining the governments pro-
posals on the question of man power.
Arthur Henderson, a member of the war
council, presided, and the minister of
munitions and other members of the
government were present. Admiral Sir
John r. Jelfcoe, first sea lord, also gave
his views of the situation.
Gen. Robertson emphasized the fact
that while the war office was not a leech,
it must have more men TO meet the deS-
perate effort the enemy was now making.
His speech, as officially given out, was, in
part, as follows:
''Our progress with the war is bound
to be slow because of the colossal num-
bers engaged and because Germany de-
rived a great advantage at the start.
1t is difficult and long business TO
make up for bad start.

Why Germans Retire.

LAS to the retreat from the Somme, the
pessmists say Germany is making fools
of US AND laying traps. We are not in
any way disturbed by her. At all times
pessimists are towards, while in war
times they may be classed as criminals.
Whatever happens. keep a cheerful face.
The optimiSts say Germany is defeated
and is, therefore, retreating. Both are
wrong.
Germany is retiring because she dare
not stand up to further punishment in
tires in war voluntarily. But she is
not yet beaten. She is going back in
the hope of becoming stronger. and
she is stronger now than
at any time during the war. She
now has many more divisions in the
field than last year, and has increased
the number of her soldiers by about
one million.
