JELLIGOE WARNS OF
SUBMARINE MENACE
Danger Far Greater Now Than
Ever, Says First Sea Lord
of British Navy.
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.

fact that Oreat Britain, with her new

He said that the SO miles held by

'Besides the numbers facing us,'
General Maurice continued, "it must
be remembered that both climatic and
