Already Begun

In fact, the battle has already
begun if the German claims OF
sinking more than 100000 tons OF
merchant ships and naval vessels
during the first three days OF last
week prove to be correct. How
ever, past experience has shown
Germany's claims frequently to be
greatly exaggerated. According to
British reports the losses during
this period were less than 10000
tons.
In waging war against British
shipping, the Germans have all
the nearby channel port bases al
their disposal from which to
launch attacks-a very great adj
vantage for such an offensive. Un'
doubtedly large forces of sub
marines will be maintained al
each port for this purpose.
AS to the number of undersea

great maneuverability. In addi-
ton to antisubmarine and anti
aircraft armament, they are pro-
vided with depth charge racks
and Y-guns.
The submarines weapon - the
torpedo-is Immediately effectual
on a merchant ships hull. which
is not protected in any way. BY
the samestoke light cruisers and
smaller craft are easy marks for
U-boatS.
But when, it comes to heavy
cruisers and battleships. the side
armor and hull experimentation
offer protection which it is hard
for torpedoes to overcome. In a
modern super-dreadnaught, for
example and because OF the
localized effect of torpedo hits
8 or 10 torpedoes would be re-
quired to sink or even seriously
disable it, unless the hits be well
distributed in vulnerable spots.
The recent adoption, by the Nazi
naval high command, of the "wolf
pack" system for mass submarine
attacks-using part of group OF
U-boats for Turing destroyers or
other escorting vessels away from
conveys while attacking with the
remainder of the group - has
proved to be quite effectual in
certain instances due to the sur
rriSa tactics pmnlOVed

I Youths Injured
In Plane Crash

Two Dearborn youths were crit
ically injured Saturday when their
airplane crashed near a private
field near Oxford, Mich, and
rammed into a gravel bank.
They are Harry Drab, %, of
7251 Middlepoint avenue, Dear
born. owner of the plane, and
Ferris L. Shultz, 20, of SCAT
Calhoun avenue, Dearborn, his
passenger.
Drab. who had purchased the
small biplane only two weeks ago,
took off and circled the field once.
Then, witnesses said, the motor
sputtered and stopped and the
plane fell. Drab has a possible
fractured skull and Shultz has a
fractured left hip. Both were
badly cut about the face.
The field where the youths took
off is a small private one called
the Daniel AFFORD Field, used by
a small flying club.

was accompanied by the statement
that the German shipyards have
been constantly busy during the
Winter in building new types of
these underwater vessels, while
simultaneously crews 10 man them
have been receiving intensive
training.
However. il takes a much longer
time 10 train the crews efficiently
for submarine duty than TO build
the boats they are to man. This
is the real bottleneck OF submarine
service and one which only expert
ence can overcome.
Undoubtedly the British have
been cognizant of Germany's in
tention for some time, and have
been making plans to thwart its
execution. In fact. according to
supposedly reliable reports, a most
effective counter-offensive is be-
ing prepared by the British to
meet the threatened submarine
onslaught with destroyers, trawl-
ers and corvettes using new and
closely-guarded secret methods for
detecting, tracking and destroying
enemy submarines.
Nevertheless, the next few
months undoubtedly will witness
the unleashing of the greatest
mass attack on British naval ves-
sells and commercial shipping ever
undertaken by Germany's sea and
air forces.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-02
Need for Ships

The first is through new con-
struction or purchase of old ships,
and the second is through the
destruction of German submarines
faster than replacement crews can
be trained. To do this latter re-
quires a considerably larger num-
Der of Observation-Disclosures weapons,
such as bombing planes, destroyers
and other small antisubmarine
surface craft provided with depth
bombs-the real nemesis of u
boats.
In this connection the so World
War destroyers which the United
States exchanged for Births h
Caribbean bases last Fall were,
and still are, of most vital and
immediate assistance to the British
navy by filling the gap caused by
lost destroyers and thus making
larger and more effective the
escorts of convoys-of which now,
apparently, there is great short
age.
Should the United States grant
the request for further destroyers
of the same type, the mission OF
sinking enemy submarines would
be proportionately enhanced and
expedited.
The British type Corvettcs now
used for escorting conveys. though
not as efficient as destroyers.
nevertheless are excellent craft
for this special duty.
They are small compact vessels,
easily and quickly built. and have

May Beat Method

However. now that the secret
has been learned. it is believed
that British escorting vessels will
be better prepared in the future
to beat this method.
In the final analysis, any en-
deavor to break =Britain's superior
sea power or interfere seriously
with her lines of communication
by a submarine campaign alone
will be long drawn-out conflict
AS all resorts 10 attrition tactics
inevitably must be. With air units
scouting in advance for the pur-
pose of leading the U-boats to
approaching conveys, however, it
is possible that the job may be
speeded up somewhat = partieu-
larry if bombing planes should join
the submarines in the attacks.
In order successfully to combat
this co-ordinated menace, ii is only
matter of time until the British
will need increased escort assist
ance. The longer the delay the
greater the risk. At present the
number of naval vessels available
for this service is very limited.
That German submarines I'M
doubtedly will soon begin attacks
on British trade routes on a
greatly increased scale is fully
expected by the British govern
ment. Already the air is filled with
engines of destruction, while the
face of the sea hides the death
which turks underneath.

In Dark on Losses

No reliable data is available as
to how many German submarines
have been lost, as such figures are
not published by the Germans, nor
do the British, for obvious rea-
sons desire to advertise the rela-
tive success of their antisub-
marine campaign.
Whatever the answer, for every
German submarine sunk the Brit
ish have made an affirmative gain,
not only because of the reduced
menace, but more particularly
because of the enemy's loss in its
trained crew.
The German submarine toll on
British, allied and neutral ship
ping during the present war ac-
counts for the greater part of the
nearly 100000 tons sunk. During
the Summer and Fall of last year,
the losses appropriated 10000
tons a week. Latterly. however,
that rate has been reduced by
more than half. This may be
accounted for in large measure by
the employment of comparatively
short trained Nazi crews.
There are only two methods by
which the British may overcome
these losses-a very pressing need

her food and supplies in transit

WASHINGTON. March l.
Four million persons now unem-

forecast tonight.
Already more than 1000, 1000

No Slavery Here
In citing national morale as the
keynote of preparedness, the re-

"The essence of Americanism
Is to have a hand In determin-
ing our ways of work and life.
This in turn brings with IL the
responsibility of self discipline.
And the self discipline of free
and independent people will al
ways enable them TO outthink,
Outproduce and Outlive any sys-
tenn of tOtalitarian slavery"
The United States employment
service, through its 1,500 employ
ment offices. has classified more
than 100000 unemployed men
and women according to trades
and skills. the report stated.
This survey indicated there were
100000 unemployed but suited
for skilled jobs. Another 1,25O,00
were semiskilled.
Train Thousands
Hundreds of thousands of men
and women are being taught
trades or professional duties in
schools established by the Ma
tional Youth Administration,
WPA, CCC and other govern
mental agencies, as well as in
schools established by defense in
dustries.
The age limit for workers in
army arsenals and navy shipyards
has been increased from as to g.
years. Through this and other lib
eraliZation of civil service require
ments more than 100000 civilian
workers had been placed in all
arm yand navy establishments UP
to Feb. Is. 1871.
To fulfill existing commitments

Hence, II IL Is to deliver on

Demand for shipyard labor also
is soaring and expected to call for
