CHICAGO, April 1.-Officers of
the Chicago Cubs began poll to-
day to determine whether fans
want games to begin at o'clock

state definitely baseball must fol-

range their hours to suit a ma
jority of the voting fans.

SUBMARINE Is
Held REPORT OF
SIR ERIC GEDDES
Results of First Year of I'm.
restricted Warfare,
Are Summarized
I" Is America Throwing Her
Best Brains and Ener-
gies Into It?"
CRv Associated Press

London, Feb. 1.-The submarine is
held. Thus, in four words, Sir Eric
Campbell Geddes, first lord of the adj
miralty, yesterday summarized the
results of the first year Of Germany's
unrestricted submarine warfare,
which began Feb. /, a year ago.
A measure of its failure. he added,
was found in the fact that the sink
ing of merchant ships now had been
reduced to a lower level than before
the unrestricted warfare went into
effect. --. H.
Il am optimistic regarding the U-
boat war said Sir Eric. The sub
marine, restrained and unrestraineds
has been met and has been held. My
curves are. all good and l cannot
foresee any way in which the situa-
ton can be changed except for the
, better.
THE sooner the better is now the
allied navy's aim. But-you see there
is still a but, and it is very inn
portant one-we must have more
ships If we are able to turn this Ger
man failure into a positive allied
victory. The submarine destruction
of the worlds tonnage is not a big
percentage Of the whole, but the sub
marine destruction still exceeds the
| the demands for tonnage are increas-
ing by leaps and bounds. "
Americas participation in the
war must inevitably make large de-
mands on merchant shipping, yet we
must continue at the same time 70
keep up with the demands Of the al
lied armies and with the vital neces-
stiles Of the European civil popula-
ton. .> M
Ships Greatest Need.
Ships, and yet more ships is
still the most important coroliary OF
the war. How far can we rely upon
any one for these ships. I have no
doubt the United States will do its
utmost, but I want to urge again the.
vital importance Of . its merchant
shipping program.
When we first asked the United
States for ships there was a quick
response. In no way can the United
States help. more than in building
ships. Is she succeeding? Is she
throwing her best brains and great
energies into it? Is it worthy ad-
dition to our great cause? hope she
is.
Meanwhile we shall not be idle.
Great Britain is straining every re-
source to launch every ton Of which
she is capable. We are at the pres
ent moment building merchant ships
at a higher rate than ever before in
our record before the war and before
1918 is over we shall be building ship
ping Of all kinds at rate more than
double that record year. But a great
deal depends on American effort and
/ should greatly regret II anything /
might say regarding the failure OF
the rGaruan submarine vvarfa re
ships"
