many is building hopes that
her new submarine blockade
will cut off the allies sup
plies, decrease their military
strength and thus end the
war-these hopes are mis-
placed. The blockade will
never succeed"
Admiral Lacoze, France s
minister Of marine, gave this
reply today when the United
Press correspondent asked
him for a message to Amer
lea on how France views the
German submarine war.
ut was German thickness that in
augurated commercial submarines os-
tensibly to carry merchandise, but in
reality to supply war submarines in
the open sea-" he declared.
TT is Impossible for me to see how
competent German officials believe
their new move-which is said to be
aimed principally at France and Italy

he continued. "On the whole, it can

take cognizanee of the fact that since
the beginning of the blockade on Feb.
/, about the same number of French
mercantile ships have been arriving at
our ports as before. The total is more
than hundred daily.
II do not believe conditions will
change much from 1916, when the
average Of French imports doubled
from 2,5O0,000 to 100000 tons monthly.

Of the general average on coal. while
the flour loss is less than one per

This flour loss does not equal the
amount the French baker normally
wastes.
THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT.
This is the third time the Germans
have announced nerciless submarine
warfare.
THE losses of worlds tonnage in the
past has never been such as to bring
about a critical condition as far as the

the question as to who is able to hold
out the longest.
Germany long immersed in eco

all sea trade except that of Scandi-

hand. Is still on the up grade.

Aren't those people among your

OF course I do not mean that a
deficiency in early education always
makes a man positive. There are
some people who can rise above such
a limitation and make up In the

there are people who can never be

him when he has so often rendered
himself ridiculous by making asser-
