SUBMARINE EFFICIENCY.

The U-boat blockade, flouted at the
outset as rlyaling the Zeppelin raids
on England in futlity and ruthless
ness, is now forcing the gravest con-
sideration OF the Allies. 1t Is admit
ted that the submarines are becoming
more and more effective and British
official statements confess that, while
some method of combating them will
be found, it has not yet been. Re-
lance is placed chiefly in Americas
assistance, and stress is being laid
upon our most effective aid to the
Allies lying in furnishing foodstuffs
and finding ships to carry them.
Germanys breach with the United
States over the return to submarine
warfare was made, no doubt, after a
deliberate balancing OF effects. Amer
icas neutrality was weighed against
the possibility Of bringing England to
her knees by submarine blockade
and the increasing effectiveness OF
that measure shows that Berlis was
not so utterly without basis for that
hope as was at first supposed, But the
kaiser advisers do not appear to have
thought of the possibility that the
very Influence which they threw
away for this hope might furnish the
means of destroying 1t 1t was not
merely American neutrality or the T.
boat blockade, as they appear to have
thought They overlooked the possi-
bility of the transformation OF Amer
lean neutrality into American hostil-
ity. with the means, of destroying the
submarine blockade.
There can be little doubt when Am
erica gets its shiphuildlng program
under full Roadway that we can send
more food carrying boats across the
ocean than Germany can find subma
rines TO sink. Blockadng Britain by
4 boat may not have been so impos-
slble as it once appeared at least so
far as reducing the British TO rations
is concerned. but It will be found quite
another proposition to try to blockade
the Atlantic Ocean against the ship
resources of the United
States.
