Subject of Losses.

"On the subject of losses, the ad- miralty disclaims any desire to prophecy about so uncertain a thing as war in it's submarine phase. The results of the past year have shown the ability of our seamen to get upon terms with the submarine menace and gradually to gain the upper hand. This result has been achieved in spite of an imperfect knowledge of a new and barbarous method of warfare and of scarcity of suitable material. Our material resources for this sort of warfare are already improved and are being rapidly augmented, whilst scien- ce is placing at our disposal means of offense and defense of which we have been in need. Subject to this technical advice and to a warning that undue optimism is fatal, the admiralty con- siders that the facts with regard to tonnage losses speak for themselves.
 "With regard to the other factor, the production of merchant tonnage, any estimate for the future must de- pend wholly on the determination of the employers and men in the ship yards and marine engineering estah- lishments. The production, however, of merchant ships in the United King dom during January, 1918, even mak- ing the most generous allowance for weather conditions. foll so far below that of each month in the preceding quarter that if improvement is not speedily made, the point where pro- duction balances losses will be post poned to a dangerous extent, and even when that point is reached, we shall still have to make good the losses of the past during the critical period that confronts us. We must rely in the main on our own shipyards and on our selves. Our partners in the war are making every effort to increase their production of ships, but a consider able time must elapse before the de- sired output is secured to produce in the United Kingdom 1,S00,000 tons in 1918 and to reach an ultimate pro- duction at the rate of 3,000,000 per annum is well within the present and prospective capacity of our shipyards and marine engineering shops; but the ranks of the skilled men must be en- larged without delay by the introduct- ion of men and women at present un- skilled.
 ''The production of these new-com- CTS, upgrading and interchangability of work, are essential and must be pressed in with the good will of en- ployers and foremen; and further, the board of admiralty wish to make it perfectly clear that these results can not be obtained unless maximum out put is continuously given in every shipyard and marine engine shop by every one concerned. If employers hesitate to play their part, if men any where down tools,' or go slow for any reason, they will do so in full know ledge of the grevious extent to which they are prejudicing the vital inter ests of the community.
 "It is to insure the vigorous coop eration of all concerned that the ad- miralty has recommended the publi- cation of the facts"
 The admiralty's tables follow:

Among the things to be put on the credit side of the war is a diminution In the tendency to lose the reason. Among the men in the armies, al though there are cases of "shell shock" and the like, with induce strange mental conditions, yet on the whole the tendency to lunacy is re- ouced to minimum.
