(Cincinnati Enquirer) How completely the German submarine campaign has failed is brought out clearly in the recent report of the First Lord of the British Admiralty to the House of Commons in London, Allied losses are less than one in 1,000 in the second half of 1943, the statement declared. This in spite of the long supply lines which Britain and the United States are main- taining to all parts of the world. At the same time Admiral Chester Nimitz, in Washington for conferences, said Allied submarines are pl ag an increasing important part in the fight against Japan. The toll of enemy shipping to date has been heavy. Our underseas fleet is increasing in size and is keeping up with its schedule of sinkings, in spite of the fact that the number of available targets has materially decreased, the Admiral noted. He warned, however, that the Jap sub still is a very real and important danger. It will become greater as our own supply lines lengthen. This war, more than any conflict in history, is preponderantly maritime. So far as Europe is con- cerned, not much of the fighting has been between naval units. But our every land move has depended upon oceanic transport. Germany’s inability to cripple seriously that transportation system spelled her doom. She even has been unable to prevent the flow of supplies and materials to Russia, although the Mur- mansk route cbviously has been vulnerable to Nazi power stationed in Norway. In Japan naval strength has been a great factor. | Not only have our combined navies guarded and | protected supply lines as they have done in the west, | but they have won major battles as well. They will be an increasingly important factor as we move toward China for the establishment of land bases. It would be a mistake to believe that we have HAPPY BIRTHDAY | MARCH 23 Phyllis Andrews Darrell Cole Mrs. Delia Glifford Christine Pennock J. F. LaFloure Maxine Schiller Mrs. R. M.
