SHIP FOR SHIP.
SUGGESTED METHOD OF DEALING J WITH PIRATES, (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) ' LONDON, July 19. The Pall Mall Gazette urges that the Government adopt a policy of demanding ship for^ ship as punishment for the German's piracy. It says the HamburgAmerica and North German Lloyd* lines are building ships without cessation, and announce that their fleets after the war will be larger in tonnage than over, and will include a fifty-thousand tonner of the Imperator typej while other lines are laying down a vast number of new cargo-carriers. The paper adds : Germany's deliberate policy is to destroy as many British merchantmen as possible, and the only way to defeat the plan is to determine that the peace terras shall include the, forfeiture of the exact equivalent of ships sunk contrary t^o the laws of civilized warfare."
