OUTBUILDING THE SUBMARINES
Beyond question, the submarine menace is the
most serious problem America and her-Allies

field niUM be fed; u'.he l -bout-, an'm. curtail
the food supply, till. .UC K • people will
face starvation, Germany tviil have the vvar
won.,
Considering tin -' .arts, tlie resume of the
. first six months of ruthless submarine
fare by the Evening Post is of tense interest.
Tin- week ending August 2t>lh was th-- twenty-
sixth week in which the British Admiralty has
been quoting losses in terms i.i ships over and
under 1.G00 tons. In this It. 'f year the num
ber lost over 1 .Goo tons was 606 and the num
ber below 172. Estimating 4,500 tons for the
larger riass and l.ooo tons for the smaller would
put the total losses for the six months at 2,430-
000 tons. The weekly average for the first
thirteen weeks was 21 large ships and the aver
age for the last thirteen weeks 18 ships.
To estimate what the'losses will be for the
year 1917 it is assumed that the average for
the remainder of the year will not bt 2#
ships a week, which w -uld make I hi p>b»l fly

total losses for (he twelver months to approxi

year while the average of the last six months

tons were sunk against SO.UOO tons built, while
. in July ngniimt 320.0tl0 tons -;tnk 190,000
were built. < *r. in other words, a m mthly
ficit of 480,000 tons in April declined within
^hree months to 130.000 tons. If at the end
of the present year Great Britain h-"i s n»t loss
of il.ono.ooo tons of shipping it will be about
one-third of her available tonnage for non-mili

It' has Sthmjsaid that the man or means who.
by word or act. keeps a soldier out of the ranks
of the American army has. so far as the re
sult of the war is concerned, fought for Ger
many to the same extent that he would had he
sent n bull.'! from a German gun through the
heart of a man on the firing line.
When our ,-ons are at the front and the lives
of our dear ncs are in danger we will lose
patience with apologies for and the friends at
home of the t-nem'y they are fighting. Already
the forbearance of the patriotic citizen has
been sorely tried. Under the pretext of liberty
of speech ho has heard his country and its
leaders assailed and its motives questioned
until the limit of endurance has been reached.
It is well that the strong arm of the govern
ment has reached out to bring these men to an
accounting Had these things been permitted
njqc}i longer'the people would have taken the
matter in hand themselves. The men who
have sought, for political capital or other self
ish ends, to pre.v upon craven fear or cow
ardly sentiment have been playing with fire.
The prompt action of the government will
doubtless bring them to a realization of their
mistake. Otherwise, the people will call
them to an accounting and well may they fear
'he result when American blood is first Spilled
in battle. ) ^
