SUBMARINE ACTIVITIES.
FIGURES SHOW THAT COLLAPSE or ALLIED
MARITIME TRADE is UNAVOIDABLE.

months under order from our Gov
eminent.
English shipyards have been en-
gagged during the war largely ir
building warshlp tonnage. We car
assume that in a crisis they will
now be turned chiefly to building
merchant tonnage, and that mataAals
will not be cut down seriously.
I'VE a assume that neutral
countries by large prices and
premiums can be induced to turn
their building capacities into turning
out tonnage for the English trade
Assuming that America could supply
2 .000, 600 tons a year, Britain 5000.
900 and neutrals 1000, 600, We should
have 1000, 900 new tons a year and
10. 000, 600 now on hand, TO meet the
drain OF the U-boats that have at
tanned as high as 1000, 900 a month
This estimate is crude, but II
shows that at best the method Of
building new ships, even by the
million tons. is not adequate as q
remedy for the U-boat menace, We
MUST bring in a new factor, namely,
interfering with the sortie and return
Of the U-hoats from and 10 their
bases. blocking the channels and
lanes from the German harbors.
The recent abandonment Of our
building program OF wooden ships
and the very unfortunate Denman.
Goethais controversy throw grave
doubts upon our abilities 10 meet the
shipping problem. General Goethala
maintains that wooden ships cannot
be built for ocean trade, while Mr.
Denman maintains that steel Ships
cannot be built in sufficient number
to meet the crisis. There is enough
shipping apparently to withstand the
U.boat warfare until the beginning
of the year Of 1918. When that time
comes, the Allies must be ready 10
launch ships as fast as submarines
sink them. In this connection, Mr..
Johnson says:
Even II sinkings continue at the
present rate there will still remain
afoat at the end Of this period more
than the indispensable minimum OF
t9Nud&s* bAk - must UE EtS6L tAhk
the AIlies-or more specifically Eng.
land and America-must be prepared
at the end Of eight months to replace
ships as fast as the Germans can
sink them, whether the sinkings then
amount to a half million tons per
month or more. II this cannot be
done, the war is lost, unless forces
now u~nforseeable bring about the
collapse of Germany in the present
year"
From information available at the
present moment, concludes a NJ. Y,
paper, II does not seem possible To
meet the submarine losses Of 1918
because ships cannot be built In a
| day or in a month; and II anything
IS ceftaln In this uncertain war, IT ID

Mr.. Alvin johnson in "The New
Republic" Of May s6th, 1917. in an
article entitled, 1.-THE Tonnage Situa'
ton, gives some interesting
statistics on this all-important
question. Mr.. Johnson says:
According to Lloyds Register the
steam tonnage of Great Britain on
July LIST, 1916, was x, 46S, ssl,
America was credited NTH 5,1l6,,
us tons; France, with 1,S51120;
Japan, 1,s47,6S4i Italy, LOSS 72O;
Russia SIS, 146. OF this total OF
nearly 80, 900, 900 tons much, how
ever, was unavailable for sea trans
port. over half of the American
tonnage Is specialized to lake, river
Or minor coastwise traffic, A large
part OF the Russian shipping may be
assumed to be tied up in the Baltic
and Black Seas. The figures for
France and Italy must be consider
ably reduced to allow for shipping
available only for Mediterranean
trade. British shipping also contains
elements that ought to be excluded
from serious consideration on &C.

about 26. 900, 900 tons to supply the
military and commercial needs OF

The War Situation.
THE Irish WORLD" ON OUR PART IN THE
WORLD WAR; SERIOUS OUTLOOK

The Italian offensive against
Trieste has entered a stage which
proves conciusiyeiy that 1t has been as
much OF a failure as the Anglo
French offensive along the western
front. 1t is utterly useless TO close
our eyes to these facts for the
greater the losses and the fewer the
successes OF the Entente powers the
larger Will be our share in the war
il peace should not come before the
year is over. 1t is therefore Of the
most vital interest to us that We
remain in touch with the facts OF
the war.
In a review Of the present phase
Of the European war the IRISH
WORLD puts special emphasis on
the part the United States Will have
to play in this war if Germany
should succeed in defeating the al
lies. While we cannot agree with
all the IRISH WORLD has to say
In that respect, we regard the fol.

the larger part OF the American
people simply refuses TO believe u

left these military men believe the
struggle abroad is rapidly reaching
the point where the United States
must bear the main burden" So,
the United States is to re-ensct the
role played by Russia and France.
1T is to dc the chief part OF the
fighting, while England carefully
nurses her army OF four millions.
Two millions OF this army, or one
half. are still on English soil for
possible eyentualities in the near
future. In the opinion OF the
military experts quoted in the Wash
ington dispatch, the half million OF
American youths, who will be drafted
next September, will be only "a drop
in the bucket" When they viii have
been killed of like flies, their place
will have to be taken by other young
Americans. And this dreadful march
to either death or physical wreckage
will continue until victory declares
itself either on the side Of the Allies
or Of that of the Central powers.
The present outlook furnishes the
Allies with no assurance Of such
victory In the immediatee future.
Here Is their military situation as
described In the Washington dispatch
from which we nave been quoting:
THE West front struggle, the
military experts say, has been mis-
interpreted or unreliably reported,
either through the Allies unwilling
ness to let the real facts be known,
or ignorance Of the exact state OF
facts on the part of American news
papers. These men say that for
many months, the American people
have been led astray as TO the real
situation. The Allies, they say. are
not making the Roadway that the
country has been led to believe,
1t is pointed out BY these same
military experts that, in consequence
of this state Of things, America for
the next two or three years VIII
have to bear the main burden OF the
fighting. Such is the prospect that
opens up before us. Whilst the
youth OF the land viii be decimated,
as was the manhood Of France and
Russia. during the last two years
and a half. England viii hold BACK
her own sons in order that she may
have, on the return Of peace, a big
army to make her influence felt in
the councils Of Europe. American
blood must be poured out like water
to accomplish this purpose,
That Is what Secretary OF War

questionable security; we must, on
top OF all this, sacrifice the precious

a war in which England and her
allies, and not the United States,
have most at stake. We are told
that we may have to keep on doing
this sort Of thing from two to four
years. This assertion Is based on
the belief that the American people
