 In calling attention to the fact that IA new de- stroyers formed part of the record days launch ing, the Secretary of the Navy made the unquali- fled statement tha German U-boas being sunk faser than Germany build This dis proportion will grow worse instead of better, from the enemy's standpoint, for while he has been turn ng out submarines fast he possibly could, the Allies and especially the United States, have not begun to approximate their capacity in the production of destroyers and other of com batting the undersea evil.
 Tn Fourth of July, 1918, will live in history as the date when the submarine peril finally con quered, evidenced by the merchant ships and destroyers put into the water On that date all the American merchant marine rose for the first time above 10000 900 tons exclusive of requsitiOned Dutch ships hospital ships transports and other aux Hilary craft.
