troops at home and overseas are set
ting world records for health and low
death rates. In announcing today that
deaths from disease among the sol
diers for the week ending July rs were

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Observation-Disclosures

The idea Of Mr. Saunders Is all right
and the vessel he has fitted up is
prOba bly, as nearly unsinkable as q
ship can be made. But the fact that
il required about six months to fit
the steamer Is one Of the chief ar
suments against the scheme. Even
ships now under construction canno,
generally be fitted up in this way
because Of the long time required.
We want ships and want them -
quickly as they can he turned out.
The convoy system. has unquestion-
ably slowed down traffic across the
Atlantic but it has decreased the
number of sinkinss greatly. These
two factors must be weighed one
against the other. This done we find
