N«w York. Oar. If.—Artllur Pollen,
tha British naval n^trt, who haa sail
ed for Europe after spending m
months in the United State*, gave Ui
the As*oriat*d Pros* a statement in
{ which ha Mud that the campaign of
tha allied navie* against tha aubmar
| ina haa at laat reaultad in keeping tha
I world'* ahip tonnagr from showing a
' monthly dacraaaa or will noon do ao.
I Mr. Pollan gives cradit for thia lucces*
to tha chanie in tha chief commandar
carried out by tha Britiah admiraJi
tj laat ipring and tha participation of
tha Amarican navy.
Mr. Pollan pointed out that aU
month* ago tha German submarine*
were causing a nat attrition in tha
world'* tonnage at tha rata of nearly
25 par cant annually. While the pres
ant rata of attrition la difficult to anti
mate it appeared that laat month
Great Britain launched aa much ton
nage aa aha lost; tha flrat ahip laid
down by the Unitad Statea sine* tha
war haa bean launched, and. within
tha nest 12 montha, a aubataatial por
tion of the 6,000,000 tons provided for
in tiha country will undoubtedly be
afloat. Great Britain'a shipbuilding
program will similarly increase month
by month and moreover the campaign
of the allied naviea against tha aub
marine will grow tn value week by
week, he aaid.
"The aigniftcance of thia to the for
tune* of war doe* not have to be point
ed out," Mr. Pollen continued. "It
mean* that Germany'* flank attack on '
fkiluui roma»naia**'« • v - * " ' ]
there la no reason why ultimately the
full military power of Great Britain,
France and Italy, and moat impor
tant of all of the Unitad Statea ahould
not be felt in the western theater of
war. Thia ia a tremendoua result."
Speaking of the change in the
chief command in the Britiah admiral
ty, Mr. Pollen aaid:
"In bringing about thia new order of
thinga at Whitehall, the refonaera
were undoubtedly assisted first, by the
fact that an extremely effective, well
equipped and briliantly commanded
contingent of American deatroyers
waa already at work In a very impor
tant area of the theater of war, and
next by the British government wak
ing up to the truth that the belliger
ency of America meant not only the
■o-op* ration of a very gallant and en
terprising ally, but the domestica
tion. so to speak, of a new and ex
tremely intelligent critic."

han 100 different foods. These ilems
ire divided into 10 general group*:

lucts, canned goods, fresh fruits and
'egetablea, dried fruits, nuts and pea

the owner or an sucfiorixad official.
Schedules will b* sent to all deaWra
in food materials, all manufacturers
of food producLa, and all holders of
such commodities in lota substantially
greater than family supplies. Re
ports, therefore, will b* exported from
wholesale and retail grocers, bakers,
confectioners and all other dealers in
commodities containing food mater
ials ; from warehouaemen and cold
storage concerns; from commissiariea
of institutions and commercial and in
dustrial establishments; from export
ers; from maunfacturars employing
any food product in thfir operations;
and from representative of foreign
governments who buy supplies in this
country. The government desires re
ports even from concerns using food
stuffs as ingredients in products not
ordinarily considered food; from bot
tlers of soda water and similar bever
ages, and from chewing gum manu
facturers, for example, because of the
sugar employed.
The act of Congress providing for
th* war emergency food survey fixed
a fine not exceeding $1,000 or impris
onment not exceeding one year, or
both, as punishment for any individual
or concern who wilfully fails to make
report when requested, or wilfully re
ports incorrectly. The bureau of
markets, however, counts on the full
co-operation of the affected trades and
induatries, and hopes that there would
be very few caaes in which It will be
neceasary to enforce compliance
through prosecution.
