At the beginning of this year our navy consisted only of dreadnaughts and battleships of the Heligoiand, Kaiser and Markgraf type, and some few battle cruisers. | “All the ships which Von Tirpitz constructed, from 1897 to 1916, at a cost of innumerable millions, had been destroyed, and the U-boats were | never able to fight against the Brit-| ish warships | “Von Cappelle constructed very | few submarines, but in official quar- | ters it was stated that Germany | an enormous number of | U-boats, and that the losses were | practically nil. 66 Subs Destroyed “In 1917, 83 submarines were con-| structed, while 66 were destroyed. | In April, 1917, Germany had 126 submarines. In October she had 146. In February, 1918, she had 136, and in June, 1913, 113. Those were called | “front” submarines, tho, as a matter of fact, few of them were actively occupied. “In January, 1917, when condi tions were favorable for submarine work, only 12 per cent were active, while 30 per cent were in harbor, 28 per cent were undergoing repairs and 20 per cent were incapacitated “U-boat crews were not sufficient ly educated and trained, and they looked with distrust upon the wea pon. In the last points, indeed, it ‘was very difficult to get men for submarines, as experienced seamen looked upon submarine warfare as| political stupidity. “When, at the beginning of No- vember, the navy was ordered out for the purpose of attacks, a mutiny broke out. Had the seamen obeyed, innumerable lives would have been lost.
