London, Jan Ii Submarines

ton of Yice-Admiral G A.. Bal

In more dramatically phrased if
less vigorous, style, he is taking up
the cudgels after the fashion of the
late Admiral Fisher who conducted
famous letter-writing campaign
on the thesis that submal ines and
airplanes had negatived the capital
ship His war cry was Scrap the

Ballard does not go so far as his
one-time chief, but he is hammering
relentlessly into the British public
his belief that the empire must have
submarines.
I'VE must avoid the attitude that
these vessels are subject for con-
tempt" he declared, referring to
the case against them presented by
Mr. BaIfour at Washington. They
are formidable engines of war, re-
curing to be treated as such.
Useful Mine Layers
Although in the war not a
single British or French Battleship
was sunk by German guns more
than dozen met their fate either
in direct encounter with submarines
or by mines that submarines alone
could have placed where they were.
THAT in itself furnishes conclu-
siye evidence of the effectiveness Of
the submarines, even when used in
a perfectly legitimate way, as we
used them ourselves. Moreover, this

which he is credited, Of forming a
cabinet Of wide national union on
the lines of the cabinets formed in
19l4 and 1915, while he was presi-

could be expected to include the
Socialists. who were represented in
these ministries, for their press has
seized upon the return Of Poincare

that he personally was responsible

Ills partial failure as explained

not be compared to chat existing in
1914 and 1915.

the moral effect Of submarines is

Crop insurance has been tested
to a certain extent both by mutual
farmers companies and by private
companies, and agricultural experts
say it has proved successful.
Balancing production with con-
is another important topic
which the conference leaders expect
viii come up. The relation of the
supply of crops and foodstuffs to
markets has long been studied. Sug-
gestions which are likely to come
from conference delegates, it is said,
will range from acreage limitation
to more careful study of world
production and consumption. Along
with these will be crop surveys i'll

in advance of planting to gauge the
demand.

Movements Of Fleet.

again. it was the fear of sub
marines that affected the whole
movements of the Grand Fleet and
compelled us to drain all other war
areas of destroyers in order to pro-
tect our battleships, with the result
of seriously weakening our posi-
ton in these areas. And yet again,
it was the German submarines that
forced the withdrawal of our heavily
armed ships from advantageous hom-
harding positions outside the Oar
danelles, after the Majestic and Tri-
umph had been sunk.
"The claim that fifteen million
troops were safely conveyed across
the Channel proves very little
against submarines, for these narrow
waters are especially favorable for
defensive precautions, and our pre-
cautions were conducted on a spe-
cially extensive scale 1t was far
otherwise in the Mediterranean
whore one troop ship after another
was sunk, and where, had it not
been for the arrival of the japanese
destroyer flotilla to assist the allies
a situation would have been reached
early i'll 1917 in which the safety of
all reinforcements and supplies for
the eastern theatres of war would
have been seriously jeopardized. +"
