The value of protection of this kind, even under these handienps, against the enemy submarines in the earlier campaign was amply proved over and over again. The experience of any captains in the mercantile marine was that the enemy submarines did not con- tinue to attack steamers provided with guns. They were afraid of them. It might have been expected, therefore, that this ineasare having proved its value, every merchant ship would have been armed This, however, has ret been done, and probably very few of the merchantships bringing food- stuffs to England are armed at the present time.
