According to a statement given out
by the Marine-Amt at Berlin, more
than 100000 tons Of shipping were
destroyed by naval forces of the Cen
tral Powers in the month of Novem-
Der OF merchant vessels Of the en-
emy the number is given as 1873 of
314.500 tons, the British tonnage alone
amounting to 244,500; Of neutral ves-
sells, So Of $4,000 tons. The latter. it
is explained. "were sunk for carrying
coniraband to the enemy"
There is no reason to suspect the
compilers of these figures of serious
exaggeration. In the last four or five
months the activity Of the German
submarines has increased prodigious-
ly, and il may be noted that in the
first ten days Of December, the Eng
lish papers announced the sinking OF
no less than seventy-four ships. In
deed. the average daily loss in the
last two months cannot be far short
Of 10000 tons at the most favorable
computation. The increase is not
wholly due to improved efficiency
though it may doubtless be attribu-
ted i'm the main to the greater num-

A Growing Menace to Shipping
From the New York TribuneD

attacks on all vessels
British and neutral, and the weaker
neutrals have been obliged to submit.
The possibility OF starving England
in this way is doubted by some COM
petent observers. Thus, Slf a. ->ol
man Hill estimates that ~ twenty
seven months of war the Br tlsh loss
es have amounted to about IL PEI
cent in tonnage, or less than hali OF
1 yer cent. a month, while The loss IN
cargoes is calculated at 0.49 per cent
of the total carried He concludeu'
therefore, that "a los. in IOO-lD'
blockade will never starve US The
disquieting circumstance, however Is
that the submarines are doing more
and more damage. and that no way
has as yet been found to deal with
them effectively.
It is supposed that measures, nave
been taken to arm as many merchant
men as possible. but the process is
slow. II has been pointed out already
that thousands OF guns and perhaps
tens of thousands OF trained men
would be required to equip all ship.
according to the standards required
by many today. The value OF even
one gun IN the stern has, however
been pretty we'll established, for eX
perlence has shown that the Germans
are d dsinclined to attack vessels de
fensively armed. But the guns uset
in the early days Of the war are NJ
! longer sufficient since those mounted
IN the later submarines easily out
range them 1t is therefore no cas-
matter to insure the adequate arminl
OF the whole merchant fleet.

Court OF General Sessions on Thurs

in the county workhouse was imposed
upon him for breaking and entering
with intent to commit larceny, dis
closed no physical ailment. and his

cording to the workhouse authorities.
At the time he was arraigned the
principal States witness against Wal
ton expressed the opinion that the de-
fendant might be mentally unbai-

know is what has become Of all these

going to do? Now is the time for
those people to come to the front and
do something and not wait until the
Legislature adjourns and say what
should be done. Why not call a meet

standing between them as 10 what is

ORGANIZATION OF LEGISLATURE.

From the Dover Index. y
After brief deadlock the Demo-
Gratis have succeeded in organizing
the House Of Representatives in the
State, but the Republican Senate in
still deadlocked over the election Of
President Pro Tempore and there
seems no present prospect of a break.
The factional fight that rent that
party at the last election IS still on,
and likely 10 continue for some
years. Fortunately Delaware is not
suffering for legislation, and under
present conditions there Is not likely
to be much accomplished at this ses-
sion anyway.
However, the Senate must be or
ganized in some way, and the time
may come when the Democratic mem
bers, in the public interest, may be
compelled to take a hand At pres
ent L is a Republican fight, and it is
doubtful whether the Democrats are
justified ID interfering. II the time
comes that IL IS thought expedient to
interfere, we favor the election of Sen
atOr Barnard because he is a Kent
county man. b good member, and we
have no wish 10 see the Republican
Organization aided. especially in the
interest Of a Wilmington Republican
politician. AS we have said before
these fights for presiding officers are
usually for the purpose Of controll-
ing the appointment Of committees
and it seems to us more democratic
and sensible that the committees
should be appon nted as they are now
appointed in Congress. by nomination
and election on the floor Of thu
houses.
