munitions. But much of the tonnage
sent down is armed trawlers and small
craft that impede the submarines way
while acting as scouts and sentinels.
England's Net Loss Small
For a while England prided herself
upon replacing a ton for every ton
destroyed. For a period it was pos
sible. During 1915 English shipyards,
despite the call upon them for supplies
and repairs for warships, launched over
half the amount of merchant tonnage
destroyed. The remainder was replaced
by purchase from other nations.
Records for the year 1916 have been
withheld, but in Parliament so late as
last September Sir Phillips Owen stated
that England's net merchant loss was
less than 4 per cent.
Beyond this point the outcome is all
speculative. Under present ocean ship
ping conditions the loss of tonnage
means as much to the rest of the world
as to England. 1t means less ocean
ship bottom space; higher transporta-
ton rates. When the belligerent ma
tons want food and supplies for the
armies in the field they will not stop
at the transportation charge. and, as
In the past, VIII get the shlpS at lHe
expense of other nations and sections
of the globe.
Local ship men believe Germany's
hardest blow has been struck. They
hold that the average daily loss must
be less. when England gets the lanes
leading to her harbors thoroughly pro-
tected as she plans. When British
warships are in sight of each other
along these lanes, when the oceangoing
ships go armed, when the numerous
trawlers and small craft now being
equipped with guns can guard circle
with a radius Of five miles, when the
aeroplanes scout the waters adjacent
to the paths of ships, when nets are
laid, a submarine must run deep to
escape detection and capture.
Then, too, ship men contend that,
though the destruction for February
is large, its comparison with January
and other recent months would indi-
cate that the number OF German sub
marines in action has been largely
overestimated Instead, it would seem,
the attack has been centred around
Great Britain.

e,css those who arc working in the
interest of the German propaganda
were overjoyed at the story printed
this afternoon. They blinked the
fact that Germany was making no
Shadow of suggestion to change her
policy of frightfulness. That, they
b!issfully asserted, would come later.
In spite Of the reported and un-
supported declaration that Germany
wants TO discuss means of prevent
ing actual hostilities, and even be-
fore that story made its appearance,
the American government betrayed
unmistakable signs that there would
be no further hesitancy to act on the
part Of this government.
The department appears to under
stand that the President has made
IN his mind. No one would be
greatly surprised if his appeal to
Congress for authority to use "any
means for the protection" Of Ameri-
can lives and property came within
n very few days and upon the basis
of what already has occurred.
Friends of the Administration are
going out of their way to assert that
this would not be declaration of
war. We would not in any sense be
the aggressor. We would act only in
self-defence. Germany would be the
agpressor. There would be state

HOCKEY AGAIN
FOR AMHERST
Plans Are Being Made To
Again Put School On
the Map.

Amherst, Mass. Feb. 17.-Prepara-
tions are being made here to revive
the hockey team and place Amherst
again on the intercollegiate lists as a
promising participant in other winter
sports.
Steps are being taken to remedy
the bad ice conditions which led 10
unsuccessful seasons. The Amherst
rink is an open one and spells of
warm weather not only cause cancel
lation OF games with bad financial
results, but interfere greatly with
team training and put the men under
a handicap when meeting on an in
closed rink. 1t is planned to remedy
the difficulty by canvas awnings 10
protect the ice from sun or snow. and
by building the sheet Of ice directly
on the ground.
As evinced by interclass series dur
ing the last three years there is no
lack OF hockey material in the college,
while an alumni coaching system may
be tried.
