Opposition to the Admiralty over I lis liiubillty to lemovc Ilio Heiinaii suli l marine menace Iihs i eat lied Its highest point. It is rumored that certain membeis of the House of Commons aic preparing to stall it movement to lestoie Colonel Win ston Churchill to the post of Fltst Lord of the Adinlralt) . In spite of the harsh criti cism directed againvt him for his pait in the Halllpoli campaign The admission of sir IMtv.ird Carson, present I'iisl I.oid of the Admiralty, that the loss of ships is Increasing aroused the prtss to tenewed attacks tod.iv U-BOATS' RAVAGES AT ONCE, WARNS BRITISH EXPERT I WASHINGTON, May I. Keeping up with the submarine Is the paramount ptoblem facing the war confer ences now in ptogres.s here between Anieil can, French and llrltlsh experts. It Is con sidered even more Important than the food exigency, for without the ships to transport It lo Kurope, American food will be of little value. Lord Hustaie Petcy, of the British for eign trade department, emphasized this to day when he received Washington cone spondenm for his first Interview, lie made no attempt to conceal tho fact that the ton n.igc situation today was a serious one. Ho reiterated I.lo.vd Ucorge's warning of sev eral weeks ago that If tho war Is to bo won, tf PrusslanlMii Is to bo crushed, theio nuibt bo "ships! ships! and more ship!' Lord Percy has been in constant com municatlon with tho government's shipping e.pctts, notabl) the Fcdcial Shipping Hoard, flnce his arrival here, and lie was warm In his praise today of tho aid and co-operation li has ricelved. Questioned as to whether this co-operation had taken on a material form, he replied: You may say that some ships already have been placed at he disposal of the Allied (Sovcrnments by the fulled States 1 can say no more An) thing wise on It must come fiom your Govern ment. Lord Perc) fiankly admitted that Herman submarines were sinking British tonnage much faster than it can be turned out by llrltlsh yaids "And It is a question ' he said, "whether the combined production of both British and Ametlcan )ards can keep up with It They will have lo speed up considerably If llicy do." IIo added: Thn shipping situation councils, and dominates everything at present. Tho British empire itself has more than enough tonnago to caro for Its own needs. But at theo nd of March, 13 per cent of our total tonnago was di rectly and solely In the service of France, carrying war supplies from America In nddltlou to this, coal must bo supplied to Italy and to our naval coaling stations In various parts of the world. At tho cud of .March the British ship ping situation stood roughly as fol lows: Twenty-two per cent of our total tonnago was directly In the military and naval service: 31 per cent had been requisitioned by tho Government; from 1'2 to 24 per cent was working under an agreement with the empire to reserve from JO to Si) per cent of their cargo spaco for Government use and 20 to 22 per cent was out of Government con trol. Theso latter esscls aro for tho most part engaged In passenger catr). Ing and In foreign tneichant seivice to Africa, Australia and so forth. I cannot glvo you geqtlemen any figures on the rate of German subma rine sinking That has been refused even to our own Parliament, but ft can't be madu too emphatic that the situa tion Is sci Ions. Little aid in ship construction Is coming from France. Italy or any of the Alios. Much of the steel that goes Into the ships comes from America and here again the transportation prob. lem crops up, Japan Is building a few fchlpa. "The United States," said Lord Percy hopefully, "haB shown that It is urgently Impressed with tho seriousness of the situ, atlon. That Is a hopeful sign. I was some what surprised and very glad to learn of the preparation that already has been made on tills side. There has been an enormous amount of work done In this country to mobilize the industrial resources." The British mission spent a busy day to day. Arthur J. Balfour, head of the mis sion held a long conference with Secretary of State Lansing this afternoon. He lunched with Daniel Wlllard, of the Council of Na. tlonal Defense, Lieutenant General Bridges spent the forenoon addressing officials of the United States war college. He laid before them the military status op the western front at the time he left England and explained to them Just what Is most needed there.
