GERMAN PIRACY.
SHIP FOR SHIP,
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON", Wednesday.
The "Pall Mall Gazette demands that the Government shall adopt a policy of demanding ship for ship as a punishment of the Germans' piracy. The paper says: "Tho Hamburg- America, and North German-Lloyd lines are building ships without cessation, and announce that their fleets after the war will be of larger tonnage than ever before, and will include a 50,000 tonuer of the I'mperator type. At least five aro over 1)0,000 tons. Other lines are laying down a vast number of new cargo carriers. Germany's deliberate policy is to destroy as many British merchant ships as possible. The only way to defeat the plan is to determine that the peace terms shall include the forfeiture of the exact equivalent to the ships sunk contrary to tho Jaws of civilised warfare.''
