U-BOATS IN WORLD WAR

In comparison with the enormous
losses inflicted on shipping by German sub
marines during the World War, the losses
Of the present war have been almost in
significant so far For between 1914 and
1918 about $500 British merchantmen
totalling approximately 13 million TONS
were sent to the bottom by German u
boats.
The loss of Allied shipping other than
British is estimated at considerably more
than three million tons, while neutrals lost
about two million tons. The grand total
of vessels sunk thus reached about 18 mill
lion TONS
Total submarine sinkings during the
first 10 weeks of the present war have
been only about half million tons. How
many submarines have been destroyed in
the meantime is not known, but the Allies
appear to take an optimistic view of the
situation.
During the World War, the German
records show that they lost total of 1919
submarines of which 178 were sunk at
sea, were informed at neutral ports after
being damaged, and Ia were blown up by
the Germans themselves to prevent their
capture.
At the outbreak of the World War
Germany had only 20 submarines in COM
mission, but additional ones were built
rapidly. The greatest number ever in
service at one time was 40, and about 100
were in commission at the end of the
war

THE ELECTION is OVER

The election has come and gone. The
citizens of Key West have indicated their
will by the highest vote in recent years.
Mayor Willard M. Albury and new city
council will be in charge of the admins
trative and legislative activities of the
municipal government for the next two
years.
There were some disappointment in
the election results. There were bound to
be. Not every one of the candidates could
win. Those who got the majority of the
ballots are in office by the will of the
people. 1t must be presumed that the men
now in office are there because the people
wanted them there.
There were some satisfactions in the
outcome, too. 1t was gratifying to large
number of our old residents that there will
be a few new faces in city council. On the
whole, the outcome in the makeup of the
new council is a nice blending of old and
new residnets. Under our representative
form of government, this is as it should
be. To have a council wholly representa-
tive of the old home town folks or one rep
resenting only the newer citizens of this
community would not be a wholesome sit
uation. What we needed is just about
what we have-a rare occurrence in the
municipal, affairs of the community.
The Citizen believes the people of
Key West expect action and constructive
effort from the new city council. Insofar
IS the new council goes along on that
basis, The Citizen will be back of the new
councilmen 100 per cent. 1t is only logical
to assume that all of our people will be
back of an aggressive and forward-looking
city council. Key West needs municipal
service of high order at this time. The
city can only grow and develop if our city
officials are alert to grasp the oppor-
tunities that present themselves. If i'm
provements are needed to help the city
grow and develop, the improvements
should be pushed by our city officials.
There must be no more buck-passing and
inertia in city hall. Conditions must be
met squarely and fairly and action must
match the requirements of the moment
The Citizen congratulates our new
city officials and wishes them every sue
cess in steering this tiny ship of state
through the threatening economic seas to
the safe harbor of municipal health and
prosperity.
