 There seems to be some influence at work beside incendarism to hinder the home help in the war. The Red Cross drive committees for member ship found quite bit of indifference in regard to the work being done by the Red Cross. If some of the in different ones would read the grateful letters from the boys. who have been made more comfortable in camp, to say nothing of the other branches. it would perhaps put them right on the matter and enlighten them on the wonderful work the Red Cross is real ly doing all over the world. It would help to bring them to realize their duty to humanity and the world. The Red Cross belongs to no one nation ality. Its work is to assist the well and heal the wounded.

its boundless resources.
The conflict in Europe has thrown
the food producing machinery of the
earth out of gear.l Several genera

the machinery Is restored to its
former smooth working basis.
The submarine drain Is all the more
severe because the food crops were
short at the beginning OF the war
and have continued growing shorter
NJ. Hovelacque said the United
States could be of assistance now by
supplying first food and ships, later
coal and money and then oil.

Next there are the peasants. num-
'bering about 2O.OOO.OOO. They live OF
the land: that Is by concealing
enough food to keep them from actual
starvation.
The third class is composed of
wealthy persons. numbering about
T.OOO.OOO or s.OOO.OOO. BY paying ex-
orbitant prices and smuggling food
in from Holland. they manage to get
subsistence.

SECRET DEVICE TO
SINK SUBMARINES
Lord Beresford Says British
Navy Has Brilliant Sea
Warfare Plan.
BY JUDSON C. wELLIvER.
Especial Cable to The TlmesD.

LONDON. April 2s.-Lord Beres-
fo-1, the admiralty expert, in . speech
here declared that the navy had de-
vised a brilliant plan to overcome
submarines. He gave It as his per-
sonal Judgment that the plan would
succeed. Such an authority inspires
especial confidence that the crisis in
the U-boat menace presently will be
past.
Lord Beresford did not intimate
what the nIan is, but II is strongly
believed II concerns an American
contribution to the war. British
publicists have long maintained that
American inventiveness could pro-
duce effective enti-submarine wea-
pons. and there are some reasons to
believe that Lord Beresford's state
ment reflected confidence founded o.
recent conference between British
and American naval authorities.
Only One Solution.
II Is now recognized that II Is use
less to fight U-boats by building ships
faster than they can be sunk. The
number of boats is increasing con-,
stantly. because they are turned out
by standardized processes and the
parts are made all over Germany,
being assembled at certain naval
bases. The only protection lies in
devising means to destroy or render
them Ineffective. This Is what Beres-
ford meant
England's problem now h to live
through 1917 and until the harvest OF
1918, for by that time the increased
domestic food production surely will
be equal to supporting the people,
with rigid economy. The Washington
conferences are thought to have de-
vised means to tide over this diff
Guilty.
In the meantime evidence piles up
to show that Germany Is making the
submarine campaign more efficient.
All commanders of submarines are
taking photographs OF the vessels
they attack before and after the ex-
plosfons, also OF the crews OF the yes
sells sunk, especially the officers.
This systematic campaign OF photo
graphing Il probably useful IN In
structing reserves for submarine 90
tivity.
Double Crews Used.
1t is. also a part of the plan TO have
double crews aboard the submarine
mine layers, one for actual operation.
the other made up Of recruits who are
getting their training under actual
operating conditions:
Consular reports reveal that the
submarines are adopting new tactics
in stalking merchant vessels and
awaiting the most. favorable oppor-
tunity for torpedoing them. In one
case IL Is known that the submarine
followed q bark several hours. The
Germans are taking few chances Of
wasting torpedoes. II during
chase a submarine sights Q larger
prey II chooses the latter and allows
the smaller 90 escape.

FINANCIAL PLANS
NEAR COMPLETION
Details of Scheme to Aid Our
Allies Expected to Be An
nounced Soon.

Secretary McAdoo's plans for aiding
the financing OF our allies are raDidi:'
rounding into shape and are expected
to be announced In a few days.
Announcement will be made stimuli
taneously of home financing plans.
and IL is probable some statement will
be made with respect to the bond is
sue.
Suggestions of the needs OF the va
rious European governments apply
ing for loans have been digested by
the Secretary, and a fixed financing
policy is being worked out at confer
ences, formal and Informal, with
British and French commissions. and
with diplomatic representatives of
Italy, Russia. and Belgium.
Representatives OF the Government
involved have frankly been astounded
with the facility with which this Gov
ernment has handled the financial, sit
uation.
1t took sixty days to raise the first
Spanish war loan of $200.000.0OO. The
first loan for the allies was negotiated
by Secretary McAdoo on Treasury GER
tifcates and turned over to the British
government and the entire transaction
completed within a few days.
Announcement of loans TO France and
Italy is expected the first OF the week.
II is probable that France will receive
an equivalent Of the loan to Great Brit
ain, and that $J0.0OOOO0 will be turned
over 10 Italy.
The Italian need is pressing.
