WITH ADEQUATELY

The submarine menace must and

'licoe, admiral in the British navy.
In an enlightening interview with
Arthur Pollen, the noted naval expert

admits that the possibility of danger
to the merchant service is far greater
today than ever before.
1T requires all England's energy to
combat it," says he.
Last week the first sea lord of the
admiralty was admitted to the Fish
mongers' Company, and he used the
occasion for making an exceedingly
important statement about the naval
position. very interesting in the light
of the weeks developments.
