AUSTRIA'S BOUNDARIES.
Londos. April
In the House of Lords the Austrian and Bulgarian Treaties Bill passed the third reading.
Winding up the second reading Lord Milzer declared that sympathy with the sufferings of the Central peoples almost amounted to injustice to the victors. Respecting the boundaries of the Tyrol he pointed out that the Allied military experta opanimously believed that this border was the best strategically, refating the contention that because Avatria had only six to seven millions the Tyrol boundaries were barsh. He asked who knew that it would always be poor little Austria. She might become the southern end of Germany, if that was permissible with the consent of the League of Nations Hence Italy was entitled to the strongest border against the whole Teutonic want, because Įpaly had sufered invasions for more than two thousand years. He emphasized that the principle of nationality should be observed as far as circumstances permitted.

THE SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN.
NUMBER REALLY
DESTROYED.
The German Marias Office has issued a detailed table, showing the number of U-boats built {and destroyed during 1914-18 (The German table, when read in conjunction with the highly de- tailed British White Paper Merchant Shipping (Losses)," givea us, at last, a complete and accurata summary of the T-host campaign during the whole war. The Chairman of the U.S. Engineering Committee of the Submarine Defence Asso- ciation informed a New York cor- |respondent that Germany com- menced. the WAY with 36 submarines. This is not so; the German Marine Difice says that 28 boats were in service on August 4th, 1914-a figure con- ormed by the independent testi- mony of German naval officers and our own intelligence. Down to the end of 1914, the German shipyards finished three now sub marines, but five were destroyed, while 2,350 tons of British ship- ping were sunt by the hosile on- derwater boats during August- December, 1914.
U-DDAT LOSSES, YEAR BY YEAR.
On January-1.–1915, Garmang had 26 submarines in service. In the ensuing 12 months 62 new boats were added and 20 were destroyed, the net increase for the year being 42 boata. About 748,000 tona'groes of British ship-| ping were destroyed.
January, 1916, opened with Germany in the possession of 68| submarines actually in service. During the year 95 new boats. were completed, but only 20 wate destroyed. The net increase in German U-boats was therefore 10, British shipping destroyed! amounted to about 838.600 tons gross. The meagre results of our anti-submarine measures in that year allowed Germany to increase her Botillas by a little over 100 per cent with the result that we reaped the whirlwind in 1917.
The year 1917 will ever be re membered as the "Black Year" of the U-boat campaign. Germany commenced this period with 138, completed sub-surface craft. Dur ing this year 103 new bosts were finished, but. under Lord Jellicoe's direction our anti- submarine Campaign beca be formidable: 72 T-hosts were destroyed. Still, the year ecded with Germany in the possession of 35 further sub- marines, as a ne: advance. About 3.325,000 tons of British shipping were sunk.
On January 1. 1918, Germany had 169 U-boats in service. Down to the Armistice Day she built and completed 81 extra boats, bat in the same period we destroyed ex- actly 81 boats too. Sir Eric Ged- des was therefore quite correct in announcing, during the last few months of the war that we had the German submarine campain held. All the efforts of the Ger man shipyards failed to add a single boat to the enemy's flect in Tas the last 11 months of war. 1913 toll of our shipping WAS about 1,786,000 tons gross.
In all, Germany built and com- pleted are U-bosta-23 before the war. 314 during the war. 203 were destroyed and 169 left at the conclusion of hostilities.
boats 177
were surrendered. bcx the extra eight жете boished after the Armis- tice so that they could make the passage to Harwinis for surrender. Finally, 54 incompete U-bosta were destroyed on the stocks in Germany after the Armistice; they never took any active part in the war.
THE FINAL TWELVE MONTHS Detailed lists have been ex- awined of the German submarines destroyed in the last six months of the war against the penultimate last six months of the conflict. It is impossible to analyse the results closely, because 35 U-bosts were destroyed by unknown means during these two periods. In the other cases, there are numerous records of U-boats rinking after being attacked by gunfire, ram and depth charges. It is is impossible to Bay, which method of attack inflicted the decisive injury. Depth-charges. however, show an enormous, pre- ponderance Over all other successful methods of attack. The curiosity of the anti-sub- marine campaign is the destruc- tion of DB65. On July 10, 1918, UB65 fred a torpedo at the U.S. Submarine L2 of the southwest Irish coast. The torpedo travell ed in a circular course, returned to its starting point, and destroy- ed the U-boat from which it had been fired. ("Information con- cerning the US Navy."
