many The greatest blow TO German
hopes of destroying the commerce o.
the allies on The ocean lies in the
convoy system, which is rapidly ap-
preaching perfection. When the plan
of escorting transports and supply
ships right across the Atlantic in large
fleets was first tried out there was
considerable delay on account of du
ference in speed of the various ships
of which il was composed.
The speed of convoy is naturally
that of the stowest vessel and in many
Instances liners that could average
fourteen 10 sixteen knots were in
company of steamshi ps only capable OF
maintaining ten knots under the most
favorable circumstances. Some vessels
were eighty five days on round voy-
age between England and America

times in as many places during that
period Between France and America
conveys were even slower and in some
Instances American steamships were

Thanks chiefly to the listening de-
vices and the depth bombs carried on
the swift moving destroyers of John
Bull and Uncle Sam. German subma-
rines and mines are becoming less and
less OF a menace to the maritime COM

When a U-boat is spotted from

Directly he gets this information her

achieve victory. He has not the ca
pacity for it.
That conclusion Won Hindenours
fully demonstrated al St. Quentin.
Since man-power is to prove the
ultimate source of victory, it is far
better for the allies that Won linden
burg remain on the offensive than that
the allies themselves take that posi-
ton before the American armies have
received their full strength in France
Won Hindenburgs incapacity 10
make use of his advantages has been
so conclusively shown tnat continual
tion of his attacks means no more at
most than the temporary relinQuish-
ment of few additional miles OF
French territory in exchange for still
more appalling German casualties.
II is an exchange that Germany
should not have started and can not
afford 10 continue. II the positions
were reversed. even France could not
make a similar exchange and retain
any assurance Of preserving enough Of
her own virile manhood TO start the
French nation going again when the
war is over.
Most of the German casualties in
Picardy and Flanders thus spring have
been inflicted 10y the British. In re-
turn. the British casualties have also
been heavy: nlit Great Britain has
lost far less mon in the war than has
Germany. and can well afford ne"
casualties where German. can not.
And now. piiing into France are
thousands upon thousands OF Amer
lean soldiers ready 10 take up the

tain leave il. America alone can pay
new cost in casualties that Ge-many's

Destroyer Fleet Increasing Rapidly

Destroyer Fleet Increasing Rapidly.
The number of British and Amer
lean destroyers has increased rapidly
and is still doing so that there are
plenty of these essential watchdogs OF
the sea to make the passage of con-
voys across the Atlantic and North
sea secure. The greatest percentage
Of losses by submarines since Jan.
has been in the Mediterranean, and
this is now being reduced by increas-
ing the number of destroyers in those
waters. No submarine commander will
risk attack on a convoy which is pro-
tected on all four sides by destroyers
and frequently accompanied by sea-
planes circling overhead in advance.
Naval experts are confident that
when there are sufficient destroyerS
TO escort all conveys required to trans
port troops and munitions from Amer
lea to England and France the subma>
rine peril will be practically at an end.
This stage should be reached by Aug
ust. At the preset time the U-boats
watch and wait for vessels which are
alone and probably on their way to
rendezvous and rarely attack a con-
voy.
