Averal members Of the Reichstag
ma.s.s an earnest appeal to the army
commandment TO the naval staff
with the result that an order was
issued terminating the construction
OF battleships in order that the ma
terial might be used for the making
OF U boats.
In the meantime so great scarcity
Of material had arisen, that Il be-
came necessary to disarm a number
OF the battleships and take the
metal. In this manner. at the be
ginning OF 1916 twenty-three battle
ships had been 'disarmed. Rs well
as one newly built cruiser.
At the beginning Of this year Cap
tain Persius states. the German navy
consisted only OF drendnoughts and
battleships Of the Helgoland. Kaiser
and MarkEraf types, and some few
battle cruisers. All the ships which
Won Tirptz had constructed from
1897 TO 1906. at n cost OF innumerable
millions, had been destroyed. and the
u boats that had been constructed
had proved unable to fight against
British warshlps.
Admiral Won capelle during his
period Is head OF the navy, says Cap
tain Persius. constructed very few
submarines. work being continued
only on the construction OF sub
marines OF the large type, hut In Of
ficisl quarters II was still stated that
Germany possessed an enormous
number OF U boats and that the
lossos were virtually nil.
eIc DESTRUCTION OF suBMA.
RINEs is REVEALED.
That was not true, the writer ad-
mlts. in 1917. he states, So sub
marines were constructed. while sc
were destroyed.
In April, 1917, Germany had 126
submarines and in October i4e. In
February, 1918, she had 1856 and in
June Of the same year 113, according
TO Captain Persius's figures.
Only a small percentage Of these
submarines were actively operating at
any given time. Capt. Persius declares.
In January, 1917. for instance, WREN
conditions were favorable for submn.
rine work. only IL per cent were ao-
tive. while 80 per cent we're in harbor.
IS per cent. under repairs and 20 per
cent. "incs paoitated."
Submarine crews. he says were not
sufficiently educated and trained and
they looked with distrust upon the
weapon. In the last months. he fe-
veals. II was very difficult TO get men
for submarine work. as experienced
seamen looked upon the submarine
warfare as. political stupidity.
Capt Persius tells OF the mutiny
that broke out at the beginning OF ills
month when the German navy was
ordered out for attack. Had the sea-
men obeyed. the writer remarks, In
Vulnerable lives would have been lost
and he declares that every thinking
man therefore is OF the opinion that
the seamen on Nov rendered an ln-
valuable service to their country"

In his letter Fox explained that he
thoroughly approved of temperance

demanding total abstinence was a
violation of personal right.

sired = It and permanently Injuries none.
The order as il stands puts all industry
on an equal footing, favoring none and
avoiding unfair competition. but this rea
son alone is not sufficient. This reason,
plus the fact that the order will put coai
in the empty bins of the people, will save
coal will aid in breaking up congestion
of traffic and in furnishing an adequate
supply of coal to the people who need it
and to the ships which cannot sail without
it-these are sufficient reasons and justify
the order
only those industries producing neces-
sary war material that can he promptly
delivered are permitted to operate during
the suspension period. To permit indus
tries with a coal supply on hand to ope@-
ate would allow many Of the least essen
tial TO continue while some OF the most
essential would be compelled to stop.
Moreover. to allow those fortunate enough
to possess coal pile to continue would
result in adding to the traffic congestic-l
and unless they are also suspended at a
later period the needed saving in con-
sumption Of coal would not result.
ITO have delayed the application Of the
order would only have added to the con-
geston. 1t is no condemnation of indus
try TO say that each would have striven
TO the utmost to increase its supply OF
coal and other raw material during the
days prior to the application Of the or
