It is not the actual ship ton- nage per week now being de- stroyed that makes the subma- rine so threatening. it is the fact that no “specific,” as the doctors say, has been found to cure It. If 100 submarines can get 40 ships of 1,600 tons in one week, how many ships of similar tonnage could 1,000 submarines get in a year? That Is the problem of the mar. And the answer is obvious. specific must be found or the land empire” is doomed may Germany be beaten on land before the submarines can gnaw| their way to Britain's vitals.
