Writer Refuses to Believe America
viii Fail to Rise to Meet
the Crisis.

LONDON. July 3o.-The Observer. in an
article arguing that the western allies,
even without Russia. are more powerful
than the central powers, says:
1.-The real crux Of the whole war Is to
provide ships for American requirements.
We refuse for q single moment to believe
that the United States will fail to rise to
the crisis. The cause needs every single
ton of maritime carrying power that the
United States can muster now or launch
later.
mo possible shipbuildtng effort in this
country alone can provide the huge ad-
ditional tonnage demanded by coming
American requirements. To get fairly
ahead Of the submarines the United States
must launch at least the same amount Of
tonnage as that mentioned by Lloyd
George in Paris as Great Britain's out
put for next year, namely, 1000, 600 tons,
and that within the Same time"
