SEA LORD TALKS
 OF SUBMARINES
Defeat J'-Boats and Germans Last Hope Is Gone, Says Admiral JeI- Effective Aniidote Not
 Yet Found.

London, Aug. 2-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, first sea lord and chief of the naval staff, in an interview with the Associated Press Wednesday discussed the submarine menace and the naval situation at the end of the third year of the war. It is serious because all the allied armies and the civil population are in vary lng degrees dependent upon sea transport, he said. But, viewed broadly, the resource by the Ger mans to this form of piracy is en- couraging. They did not risk draw ing the United States into the war and concentrating on themselves the loathing of all other neutral states until they were convinced that they could not float a keel on the worlds seas and by legitimate means inter- fere with the growth of the military strength of the allies.
 For three years naval power has been if transition to military power. The Germans in desperation decid- cd to embark on ruthless submarine warfare in confident belief it would prove fatal stroke. In February, according to their own confession, it was the best and only means of a speedy and victorious ending of the war.
 March, April, May, June, and July have passed and their early hopes are still unrealized.
 "The Germans have not mastered us and we have not mastered the submarine. We have not yet dis covered the effective antidote. But we have reduced the losses of mer- chant shipping.
 There is no reason to doubt the Germans have at sea lately far more submarines than in February and March. Nevertheless with invalu- able assistance America has rem dered, we have prevented them from reaping the harvest they anti cipated.
 How long the German population will live on hopes deferred I can not say. but they must realize that the prophecy of February resting on official authority that the subma- rine was The best and only means of a speedy and victorious ending of the war has not yet been full filled"
 After pause Admiral Jellicoe went on gravely; Combating the submarines demands utmost effort on the part of all the countries which have joined forces against Germany. She has staked her all on the submarine and if We defeat it her last hope will have gone"

NORWAY OFFERS
 SH|PPINCFORFOOD
Has Lost One Million Tons, Has Two Left and Can Spare One of These in Exchange for Fats, Sugar
 and Grain.

Washington, Aug. Norway, facing starvation if the United States cuts of exports of food, is ready to release a million tons of her shipping, in return for the priv ilege of importing od-principally from the United States.
 Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, head of the Norwegian mission to the United States, compared possible conditions with those existing during the Ma poleonic war. when the Danish fleet was taken by the English, and Norway was forced to side with France He did not in any way in- innate that Norway would be com pelled to abandon her neutrality and take the side of Germany but said she would maintain her present po- sition as Norwegians can see no possible benefits to anyone if they should take active sides.
 Norway, before the war, had three million tons of shipping; the Ger mans have destroyed enc million: Norway now needs one million for her own wants and is willing to de- vote the remainder to the carrying needs of other countries.
 What Norway needs now are fats. sugar and grain, and as Dr. Nansen expressed it, that Norway would give a guarantee that none of these things would be sent to Germany, goes without saying.

TO FORCE SENDING
 JAPANESE SHIPS
Drastic Steps Threatened t0 Allevi- ate the Shortage on the Atlantic United States May Stop Steel
 Exports to Japan.

Washington, Aug 2.-Imperative need of ships in transatlantic serv- ice is shown by indications that the Shipping Board is preparing to com mandeer all American tonnage, and in all order by President Wilson which will cut off steel exports to Japan unless Japanese vessels are diverted to war uses.
 The Shipping Board probably will announce a communicating pro- gram soon. It will call for requisi- tioning of ships and directing of routes, but probably will include arrangements for turning the vessels back to their owners, who will oper- ate them.
 Norway and Holland are ready to release a large amount of tonnage for allied use in return for food shipments.
 The British and American govern mentS have about agreed on a joint AtAAti VI OA Npl lu bDllild-t, liit Onll- ed States to operate most of the neutral tonnage and Great Britain to control the allied ships. The ar rangement will be used also to low CT freight rates
 The Presidents instructions re- garding bringing Japanese ships in- to the Atlantic were issued to the Division of Export Licenses, and provide that no steel or iron pro- duets shall go to allied countries unless they are to be used for war purposes, or will contribute directly to prosecution of the war. Japan has been large buyer of American ship plates and has been building up a great merchant fleet About four per cent of her tonnage is in the Atlantic and the remainder is car- rying Pacific cargoes at extremely nigh rates.
 The Shipping Board has just put into operation it's control over coast wise freight rates and can order specific rates cut if found discrim- inatory.

FRANCE WANTS TERRITORY
 IiNJUSTLY TORN FROM HER

Paris, Aug 2 Jules cambon, gen eral secretary of the ministry of foreign affairs. commenting on Pre- mier Ribots reply in the chamber Of deputies lo the recent statement of Dr. Michaelis, the German chancel- Tor, with regard to a secret treaty with Russia, said Co the Associated Press yesterday.
 Tine purpose Of Herr Michaclis was to mislead the anti-annexation- ist elements of Russia and the United States in attributing to France a desire Go annex what has never belonged to it. No French man, myself among them, who keeps the memory of lhe sad wound of 1870 would have dreamed Of pre- cipitalng Europe into a war to ayenge this injury, but since war has been imposed upon us it is na- tural and just that we should profit by it to re-take what had been un- justly torn from us
