More Submarines Sunk in
Past Month Than Hun
Could Construct.
PLAN TO COMPLETELY
CRUSH MENACE SOON
America Now Making Weap-
on With Which Sea Ter
rOr Will Be Dealt.

Washington, March 7.--More subma-
rines We're destroyed by the allies and
American naval forces in December
than Germany was able to build during
that month. according to information
reaching Washington. This fact de-
veloped today in discussion OF the
statement made to parliament Tues
day by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of
the British admiralty, that the SUBJ
marines were being checked.
Whether succeeding months have
shown a net loss in German subma-
rines Is not known here. 1t is believed,
however, that the anti-submarine cam
paign has proved SO effective that In
creased efforts this spring will see a
steady decrease In the number of u
boats available to prey on allied and
American shipping.
Going After Them.
What officials know of plans for
pressing home the attack with mcreas-
ing vigor, explains the feeling Of op-
timism, that now prevails in official
circles. despite heavy drains on ship
ping tonnage through the U-boats. The
gradual decline in tonnage ,losses was
graphically pictured to parliament
hy Sir Eric, with curve charts.
American naval officials appear to be
satisfied that the weapons with which
they expect to crush finally the sub
marine menace are Forthcoming. In
creased numbers of patrol vessels of
various types. appliances and devices
to make them more effective against
underwater craft and the increased
skill Of navy personnel are among the
things upon which they count. IT has
taken time to devise and build the
weapons. but they are beginning to be-
come available now.
Gave Everything.
When the United States entered the
war; the navy contributed promptly all
that it had available to join in the sub
marine hunt Sir Eric paid high trib-
ute in his remarks to the spirit and
efficiency of American naval units,
crediting them with a fair share of
what had been accomplished. Vice Ad-
miral Sims destroyer forces have con-
stituted only the advance guard of
what the American navy planned to
furnish for the fight. Even with that
limited aid, the allied navies have held
the enemy and are destroying one out
that put to sea.
Now Americas real contribution 10
the naval warfare is about to be felt
With every passing week the strength
of the force will grow, for IL Is EN-
bodied in the most extensive construc-
tion program ever undertaken for the
navy of any power.
The new destrryers and other craft
must be added to the patrol fleets
gradually az they are completed. There
fore no sudden falling off of tonnage
losses is TO be expected. II has beer
stated publicly by high British naval
authorities, however, that next August
will show beyond question. that the L.
boats have been overcome. There are
officials here who are hopeful that de-
cided results will be apparent before
that, perhaps as early as May or June

The Government cannot permit con

Winter weather sets in and operation

sen the available car supply, not to
speak of the added number that will

Many plants with large operations
may not have surplus storage facili-

provide same in some manner. The
question of expense of providing these

but the possibility of having to close
