DANGER AHEAD SEEN
MAY Be Enormously Important
Factor" Says Head of
Trade Board

LONDON, April 27.-Great efforts are
being made by the patriotic British press
TO awaken the public to some perception Of
the meaning of the submarine war. but
II is feared that unless the Admiralty can
discover some method of announcing losses
which will convey the gravity of this con-
stant reduction of shipping. without giving
information TO the enemy, the tendency will
be TO make optimistic comparisons between
the number of vessels sunk and the number
OF vessels entering and leaving British
ports each week, Deductions drawn by the
public generally from even this morning 8
startling record are erroneous.
Although in shipping circles and among
the better Informed the reduction of tom
mage available for the special purpose Of
conveying food supplies is we'll known, the
mas OF people, as one easily learns from
promiscuous conversation, still refuses to
believe that the loss of 242 ships since l'eb-
ruary II is really serious menace con-
sdering that Britain's shipping at the outset
of the war exceeded II 900 vessels. There
is also disposition to believe that the out
put of new tonnage must be nearly equva-
lent to the losses from mine and submarine.

activity in sir George Maclay's regime we're
prima fscie encouraging, but compared
with the losses quoted by Germany which,
as Walter Runciman said in the House of
Commons Tuesday were not greatly ex-
aggerated, the contrary Is the case. The
Admiraltys contention is that by issuing
the figures Of tonnage lost Germany would
receive information as to the number OF
vessels sunk by mines. which she now has
no means of getting. The reply made to
this is that Runciman's statement is. II true.
indication that Germany does obtain a GER
tain amount of Information of this charac-
ter.
Apart from the reports Of her submarine
comma nders. II is considered probable that
Germany is not without means of obtaining
information which virtually anybody who
takes the trouble can get In London and
the chief British ports II is being urged
that the easiest method of making the pub
lie realize the necessities of the situation,
and thereby avoiding the compulsory ration
ing which threatens, is to give a clear idea
Of the extent to which the shipping available
for all purposes has been diminished.
THE GERMAN CALCULATION
The German calculation upon bringing
the war to an end by forcing Great Britain
10 her knees is better known in America
than here, where Admiral Won Chappelles
estimates received scant notice and the pub
lie at large has little or no idea of the
seriousness of the outlook The westmn-
ster Gazette is charged with exaggerating
the seriousness OF the situation by even
speaking Of possible victory of the sub
marine in the phrase, IF victory were to be
won with the submarine there would hence
forth be neither freedom of the seas nor
even safety on the seas for anybody" The
Westminster Gazette expresses confidence
that the world. which has n supreme interest
in outbuilding the destruction and concen-
trating all available tonnage on this strug-
gle will win against the submarine, but
adds, "but blind belief that somehow or
other we shall escape the monstrous con-
cuson which threatens us is not going to
carry us through

sents a considerable body of naval opinion,

Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1917-04-27

on the ground that IL has failed to move
with the times as the War OfIice has done,
and in many quarters today the First Lord
OF the Admiralty is the object of unhatter-
ing attention.
EFFECT OF SUBMARINE WAR
A grave warning that the submarine men.
ace may be an important factor in deciding
the outcome of the war was sounded today
by Sir Albert Stanley, president of the
British Board of Trade. Addressing n
luncheon of business men, Sir Albert said
I'VE have not yet found a way of dealing
with the submarine as TO remove the dam
ger Of their being an enormously important
factor In determining the outcome of the
war. The effect of the submarine war upon
the existence of the British empire is simply
this--that we cannot continue to bring into
this country all the supplies and materials
required for our existence, for the contnu-
ance of the war and for the actual needs of
our industries"
In the House of Lords today Admiral
Baron Beresford criticized tho Admiralty's'
weekly returns of shipping losses as "seri-
ouSly misleading, since they admit losses Of
neutrals through which this country is now
really being fed, while the totals of arrivals
and saings include both neutral and allied
vessels"
The building Of standardized merchant
ships was one of the most important means
Of counteracting the submarine war Ad-
miral Beresford declared
Replying to Admiral Bercsford in behalf
OF the Government, Lord Lytton said that
the construction of standardized motorships
was proceeding as fast as the material
available allowed. Difficulties naturally
arose in discharging freights when vessels
