PERSIUS NOW ADMITS
U-B0ATS HAVE FAILED

London, July 25.-while the German
politicians are stin vaporing about
the successes OF the submarine cam
paign, some of the German naval
critics who know the facts strike q
very different note.
Capt. Persius, the most competent
of them all. is extremely Respondent
and humble. He no longer talks of
victory. The best he can hope for g
that the U-boats may contribute to-
wards such a peace ''as will insure
the existence of the German empira." !"
He makes this confessions:
I'VE must admit that the fantastic
hopes Of many people have been dis
appointed. No earnest student can
ignore the fact that 1t Is foolish 70
threaten England to rob her of the
mastery of the seas and con3emn her
to starvation by simply applying U
boat warfare against her. We must
tell the German people the truth, as
only the truth will make them con-
fident"
