.-Boats Mass
In Attempt to
.Starve Britain
Concentrated Near Ireland
Large Ships and Trans
ports Their Quarry
By Arthur S. Draner

LONDON, Feb. 81 have the best
authority for stating that the Germans
are making desperate efforts now to in
crease their toll of English shipping
In an effort to accentuate the food
shortage on the British Isles. In the
next two months it will be we'll to ex-
pect unusual submarine activity.
though Secretary Bakers statement
that many U-boats have been with
drawn in anticipation of this campaign
is not entirely accurate.
Just for the moment the submarines
have concentrated in Irish waters, as
they did off the coast of France last
fall. That their system of espionage
is still working we'll is proved by the
fact that they have shown uncanny
knowledge about the arrival and sail
ing of vessels.
In Irish waters they are able to find
many places where they can rest on
the bottom until the arrival of q ship
When a submarine is on the bottom a
depth charge is Of little or no value
against it.
The U-boats are now making special
efforts to torpedo large ships. whether
transports or cargo carriers The Tus-
cania was one Of the lagest Allied
transports that have been sunk.
The fact that she was sent down
while under British escort is the cause
for much regret here, but it should
ho
travel by one of the most dangerous
routes, through which the British have
successfully conveyed many transports.
Although there is no cause for
pessimism. there is every reason for
serious thought about the future at
sea. The enemy wants naturally to
reduce the number Of transports but
he is equally anxious TO get food
ships.
Sir Eric Goddess statement that the
submarine is held must not be inter
preted as meaning anything more than
that the rate Of destroying U-boats
about equals the output. But big
hole has been made in the worlds
shipping. and the rate of launching
neither here nor in America has been
as fast as was expected. And, mean
while, the worlds production of food is
far below normal.
Americas coal shortage has affected
the food situation here materially, and
the necessity of speed in everything
appertaining to the war applies to ship,
ping with greater force than ever be-
FORE
Frequent attacks on American trans
ports may be expected from now on
but as the defence is constantly i'm
proving there is little cause for serious
alarm. Above everything else, there is
the necessity of speeding things up ;o
the highest notch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The "hate

servers in Washington doubt that it
will be entirely abolished 1t was is
sued by the Creel bureau recently as
a prohibition to war speakers. eau
thorized representatives. of the govern
ment," so the order ran, Should not
indulge in hymns of hate"
Hate hymners all over the country
are bringing pressure to bear to have
rigor of the order, especially in its ap-
plication to those sections Of the coun-
ty where hate hymning has been or
sanized on an extensive basis, it has
been suggested that the Committee
on Public Information modify the rul-
ing to coordinate it with the food and
fuel rulings. The following tentative
hate schedule has been brought to the
attention of Chairman Creel in the
hope that it may bring about a change
in the order:
MONDAY-Modified hate day, with
permission to sing moderate hate
hymns of the kind typified by "When
] Return, My Dear, I'll Bring Back
the Kaiser's Ear"
TUESDAY, Thursday, Friday and
Sunday-Hateless days
WEDNESDAY-Fu Full hate day, with
all hate prohibitions suspended.
SATURDAY-Modiied hate day.
Songs permissible on this day must
fall under the classification typifed
by eve Will Tie the Can to Pots
dam"
Advocates of this schedule hold that
modified hatred on Monday will supply
sufficient natural heat to bring a ma
tion-wide concurrence in the continua-
tion of Monday as a heatless day
The Creel bureau does not deny that
there is widespread dissatisfaction
with the hate ruling. Resolutions are
already beginning to pour into Wash
ington by the dozens from Friday

hate ruling will particularly incon
venience Liberty bond salesmer who
have been accustomed to open services

The resolutions protesting the hate
order are of varied nature and be-
token a good deal of feeling in the
matter. Among the most interesting OF
the communications is the following
sent by the Young Mems Marching
Club and Hate Choir, of Kankakee, III.
You may cut us out of wheat.
