SHIPBUILDERS URGED ON Tour Thousand War Vessels of All Classes In Service of Nation in All Parts of World 7,000,- 00 0 Men Transported. liOXDON", Jan. 11. "The submarine menace to tne merchant service Is far greater now than at any period ef the war. and It requires all of our energy o combat It," paid Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, First Sea Lord. In a speech at & luncheon given In his honor in Lon don yesterday. Admiral Jellicoe said the menace must and would be dealt with. Of that he was confident, but the British would have to mako good their Inevitable losses, and to do so were dependent on the shipbuilding- industry of the coun try, to which ho appealed to put forth Its best efforts continuously and un KTudgringrly to maintain the strength of the mercantile marine. 4O00 Vessels la Xavy. After expatiating on the extraordi nary difficulties with which the navy had to contend, owing to mines, sub marines, torpedo craft and other men aces. Admiral Jellicoe said: "The approximate number of vessels of ail classes comprising the British navy today is nearly 4000. Our activi ties range from the White Sea, where we are doing our best to assist our gal lant Russian allies, past the North and South Atlantic, where cruiser squadrons are at work on the far Pacific, where we aro co-operating with our Japanese allies. In fact, there is no part of the world where the navy has not duties and responsibilities In connection with this war." 80 Ships Examined Weekly. Referring to the work of the cruiser squadron in home waters. Admiral Jel licoe said it was mainly engaged in preventing supplies from reaching the Teutonic allies. He added that on an average this squadron intercepted and examined on the high seas SO ships weekly. The Admiral paid tribute to the mercantile marine, saying: "Upon it we have been dependent for the movement of our troops overseas. More than 7.000.000 men have been transported by It. together with all guns, munitions and stores required by the army." In addition to manning the trans ports. Admiral Jellicoe -continued, the mercantile marine had been largely re sponsible for the manning of the entire British patrol and the mine-sweeping flotilla, nearly 2500 skippers being thus employed.
