PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND BRIT.

WARS SUCCESS.
WINTER AND NO COAL
Demand For Vessels is Intensified Over
Year Ago.-Isuilding Must Keep Pace
With Demand If Entente is to De
feat The Enemy

London, Friday, Sept 7.-Delaved by
the Censor)-It is learned here that the
entente government have agreed that
the shipping question is the most Sc.
rious problem Of all those facing the
entente at the beginning Of the fourth
winter Of the war, and every effort will
be made during the coming months to
Impress the people Of England and
America with the fact that the greatest
effort Of the whole war will be neces.
sary to solve il.
A government official informed The
Associated Press today:
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the shipping situation is serious. DO not
misunderstood me. The shipping aues.
ton has not grown serious through any
increased score Of the German subma.
rlne warfare. As a matter Of fact the
German submarine warfare is being
held down very well, and the average
sinkines show no increase. either in
ships or tonnage The sinking Of the
Atlantic main routes are now very low
and the greater proportion Of the sink.
ings occurred in. out-of.the.wav spots
indicating either that the submarines
nave been driven far Hfield or a larger
number Of them are operating.
Demand Increases TremeudousIv.
But the total available tonnage is
sinking slightly while the demand for
more tonnage on all hands are increas.
ing tremendously. Where three shins
were needed a year ago. four are need.
ed now. France is very short of coal
one OF the vital necessaries for winter
Italy is short Of coal. and the shortage
Is so serious that it is causing the Ital.
ian government the utmost concern
For all these shortages. there is only
one remedy namely. tonnage.
But a still more important demand
lor tonnage comes from America
whence the entente's great reserve of
men must come this winter. The ne.
cessity for tonnage to TRANSPORT the
American army and keep them sun.
pied Is perhaps the most important
feature Of the shipping situation.
is Vital Conclusion.
SO the entente statesmen have ar.
rived al the conclusion that the winning
OF the war viii depend on the new Of.
fort which will be demanded Of Enc.
lani and America this winter. an effort
to push quickly TO completion-more
quickly than ever before attempted-
ships to carry the sinews Of war of the
fighting nations.
