GERMANY'S CHANCE OF STARVING BRITAIN.
SUBMARINE FRIGHTFULNESS REAPS POOR CROP. . BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS ON SITUATION, XAuttrallao and N.Z. Cable AMOolitloo-J • (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, February 11. The newspapers consider that the first week's fruits of submarine frightfulness is disappointing to the enemy in view of Germany's proclaimed object of starving Britain, as small vessels constitute a large portion of the victims. The newspapers point out that it will be impossible to stop Britain's overseas trade unless the record of the submarine improves. Torpedoings are, however, likely soon to decrease, as the Admiralty's anti-submarine tactics have been improved and extended. The merchant service is not dismayed, and sailors from torpedoed vessels are signing on for new voyages.
