When a ship is lost the nawa i immediately telegraphed to all parts of in said about the the world, but nothing submarines “which asver return.” Ad miral VON CAPELLE recently told a private menting of the Reichstag that the Ger man Navy's expectations from ruthless submarining had been surpassed, and accused the British Press of concealing the extent of the sinkings. He spoke on February 21st, and raid there was no Teason to think that a single submarine had been lost since the beginning of the month. Against this statement we have Admiral JELLICOES statement that he is satisfied with the results achieved by the British Navy in its warfare upon under- seas craft. The assurance is vague, but its vagueness 1s in accordance with the traditional policy of the Silent Ser vice It is a moot point, however, whether the time has not arrived for some, at least, of this reserve to be aban- doned. The policy of secrecy may be "most distasteful" to the enemy, but if we knew little more definite y how many submarines were put out of action, it would certainly help to maintain public confidence. It would be encouraging, for example, to know that "the wastage." is in excess of the supply. It is patent from the comparatively small WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS, number of British steamers sunk that the measures taken to guard certain defined commercial routes are effective, but we are now almost as vitally interested in neutral shipping as in our own, and prac tically the only effective way of safe guarding our interests lies in the destruc TRAIN CRAWFORD.At H.B.M.

STONE THROWING:
In connection with the charge against two school-boys of throwing stones at E motor-car occupied by Mr Shelton Hooper, one of the boys was discharged by Mr. Wood yesterday, and this lad gave evidence against the other boy, who, it was stated was not at home when the stone throwing took place, and this seem- ed to point to the fact that he knew some thing about the incident.
The lad who was discharged said thas when he was in school on Friday even ing he heard a great noise, and then saw an European come into the school He did not know anything about the stone throwing.
Defendant alleged that it was that boy who actually threw the stones; he saw him throw one down when the Europena cune into the school.
