EXPERT STRIKES BALANCE America and England Soon Will Far Outstrip in Tonnage NOW STABILIZE | SMARC THEATRE B! Made Tonnage Torpedoed. New York, Dec. 20.—Arthur Pollen the British naval expert, who sailed for Europe after spending six months in the United States gave to the As- sociated Press a statement in which he ‘said that the campaign of the al- lied navies against the submarine, has at last resulted in keeping the world’s ship tonnage from showing a monthly decrease, or soon will do so. Mr. Pol- len gives credit for this success to the change in the chief command carried out by the British admiralty last spring and the participation of *|the American navy. Mr. Pollen pointed out that six months ago the German submarines were causing a net attrition in the world’s tonnage at the rate of nearly 25 per cent annually. While the pres- ent rate of attrition is difficult to es- timate, it appeared that last month Great Britain launched as much ton- nage as she lost; the first ship laid down by the United States since the war has been launched, and, within the next twelve months, a substantial portion of the six million tons provid- ed for in this country will undoubtedly be afloat. Great Britain’s shipbuild- ing program will similarily increase month by month and moreover, the campaign of the allied navies against the submarine will grow in value week by week, he said. Germany’s Attack Fails. “The significance of this does not ;have to be pointed out”, Mr. Pollen continued. “It means that Germany’s attack on allied communications had failed and that there is no reason why ultimately the full military power of Great Britain, France and Italy and the United States should not be felt in the western theatre of war. This is tremendous result.” Speaking ofthe change in the chief command in the British admiralty, Mr. Pollen satd: | | | K To-Night BI SMARC: THEATRE Offers the Star of the Opera and the motion picture Geraldine Farrar .
