The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1918-07-10

The necessity Of keeping an eye
upon the importance of sea power In
the present conflict, despite the close
attention claimed by the land battles,
Is emphasized by Archibald Hurd, the
naval expert, writing In the London
Daily Telegraph.
1--WE have been apt during the recent
offensives on the western 'front.'" MIR.
Hurd writes, ito overlook other as
poets of the war-notably the funda-
mental factor, which is sea power.
After a period of fifteen months, dur
ing which our strength in ships has
steadily declined, the downward ten
dency now has been definitely arrest
ed. Not only is our sea power increas-
Ing, but our grip on the enemy is firm
er than at any previous period of the
war.
100000 Tons Of Shipping.
Seven million tons of shipping en-
ter or leave our ports monthly. Each
ship is the target for enemy subma-
rines, yet there have been days in the
present week when the enemy has not
secured a single ship.
Twelve months ago we were with
difficulty maintaining one stream of
traffic, namely, that which brought us
food and raw material. Today sup
plies are flowing through this main
artery in greater volume than q year
ago. At the same time another stream
Of traffic has started and merchant
shipping has been made available for
the greatest transport movement which
has ever been carried out.
'For three months past American
troops have been coming across the
Atlantic by tens of thousands, far fast
er than at any time the balance be-
tween the allies and the central pow
ers Is being adjusted in favor of the
former.
Reason for Confidence.
"Viewing the war in its various as
pects-naval, military and economic
we have every reason for confidence.
The tide is distinctly turning, and turn
ing, let us hope, for the last time. The
submarine menace is being held. The
allied armies are increasing in rela-
tive strength. The food position of
this country, of France and of Italy is
improving, and shipbuilding, both iN
British and American yards. is pro-
ceeding at a greatly accelerated pace.
There Is assurance that by the end of
December at least 100000 tons will
have been put into the water here and
In the United States and that figure
may be considerably exceeded.
ION the other hand, the enemy's
sinkings Of British and allied tonnage
have been SO considerably reduced ow.
ing to the activities Of the allied navies
and the courage and resource of their
merchant seamen that II Is practically
certain there will be balance of ship
ping on the right side.
I'm word, the relative naval. mill
tary and economic strength Of the al
lies is steadily increasing at a moment
when the enemy is feeling the cumula-
tive effects Of the blockade maintained
over a period Of nearly four years
with increasing stringency, and Of the
war on land, which not only has re
suited in heavy casualties, but has
drained the central powers Of indus-
trial workers"

HOOVER WARNS AGAIN

Edmund Mitchell. food administrator
for Delaware, today received the fol-
lowing copy OF a cablegram from Her
bert Hoover. food administrator for the
United states, who is now in England.
"A joint resolution agreed upon by
the food controllers OF the United
states France, Italy and Great Britain /:
Resolved. That while the increased pro-
a$ction Of the United States renders II
possible TO relax some OF the. restric-
tions which have been borne with
peculiar hardship upon all our peoples,
yet it is absolutely necessary that rigid
economy and elimination OF waste in
the consumption and handling OF all
foodstuffs. as well as increased produc-
tion. should be maintained throughout
the European Allied countries and in
North America.
1T IS only by such economy and
elimination Of waste that the transpor-
tation OF the necessary men and sup
plies from North America 10 European
fronts can be accomplished, and that
stocks OF fOodstuifs can be built up
in North America as an insurance
against the ever present danger OF

slty for large and emergency drafts
