Neutrals Worst Hit.

"As regards the general situation of
the submarine warfare, it may thus be
summed up: 1t is having a more serious
effect upon European neutrals than upon
beliigerent mercantile marine. The con-
tinual losses of ships will seriously af-
feet post -bellum trade. The losses of
British mercantile vessels in the first six
weeks represent percentage of 2.S. while
the average daily movement Of vessels in
United Kingdom ports is TO This figure
eXcepts fishing and local craft.
"If the same rate of destruction were
to continue at this average, it would
take at least a year to reduce the Brit
ish mercantile marine by one-half
without taking into consideration addi-
tional tonnage procured from building
or purchase.
Food restrictions in Great Britain
are very necessary, and have been i'm
posed in order to avoid the effects of
the war pressing too hardly upon the
poorer classes of the country, and they
further curtail lavish expenditures and
the rate Of provisions.
"It is the custom of the German au-
thoritfes to issue official criticisms of
measures adopted by the allies as re-
CARDS the control of foodstuffs and re-
striotions on imports. and these criti-
cisms are produced entirely for the

marine are being steadily reduced. Dur
Ing the past two weeks only twenty-nine
have been sunk. as opposed to forty
eight sunk in the first two weeks The
vessels engaged in the coastal trade are
continually exposed to German subma-
rines and are naturally included in
German commanders reports.
1.-The most serious aspect OF the Ger
man submarine warfare Is that reflected
by consideration OF -belium condi-
tions with regard to shortage of world
tonnage. Besides affecting the whole
world, 1t is likely to affect most seriously
the smaller nations who have no mer-
camille marine of their own to rely upon
and are dependent upon that of other ma
tions for their sea traffic. However
much the Germans may desire to force
neutrals to lay up their vessels and close
neutral harbors. such a state Of things
cannot exist long because the neutrais
themselves must obtain certain neces-
saries in order to avoid the intense eco
nomic situation which at present OBJ
tains in Germany. This fact Is necessa-
rily better known to the neutrals them
selves than to those not Immediately
concerned

Home Imports Satisfactory.

Despite this. however, the position
regarding home imports themselves is
satisfactory. Flour and grain for Feb
ruary are above the average. Meat
shows from 10 to ID per cent increase
above the average of the last seven
years. Margarine is coming in greater
quantities than in any previous year
and this provides for the falling off in
butter. Rubber is Increasing slowly
each month, and the February average
was above that of January. Iron ore
shows one-third increase over 1915 and
1916
IF any conclusion can be drawn from
the board of trade statistics Of the inn
port of necessities into Great Britain
during the month of February, a very
different result would have to lie shown
by the German submarine blockade. for
up to the present time there has been
no falling off except in sugar. wood
and butter"

Bound to Take Precautions.

TT is only to be expected that We are
bound to take precautions in order to
avoid within the next two years eco
nomic stress which might then exist
here, as 1t actually does in Germany
today. The passage of troops and
munitions continues without any dim
mutton, and only the neutral countries
OF Holland, Denmark and Sweden are
experiencing temporary reduction IN
the amount of exports from England.
Apart from butter. the import of
foodstuffs in February has been very
satisfactory, and it should not be for
gotten that in the statistics showing
the quantity of foodstuffs imported in
the month of February to British ports
a considerable quantity which would
normally reach them has been diverted
to French ports for the use of the Brit
ish army

Not Blockaded in Harbor.

During the period from February 1
to March 10 no British ships have been
in any way blockaded in harbor. Every
opportunity of carrying out their plans
has been at the disposition Of the Ger
mans after their declaration of unre-
stricted submarine warfare. 1t Is ex-
tremely improbable that the German
authorities will ever have the same
opportunity. for the following rea-
sons:
"First-A large number Of old tramp
steamers, slow of speed. have been
sunk, as they afforded easy prey.
"Second-Their efforts would be d.
rected for the first six weeks or two
months toward producing the most con-
siderable results by careful organiza-
tion and administration, with view
to affecting the morale Of neutral ma
tions careful study OF the German
methods has been made by the British
naval authorities, and anti-submarine
measures have been adopted. which. as
the outcome of experience. have at
tanned a large measure of success.

1t should be remembered that there is
considerable difference between the eff
