pient one.\u201d Move of Government.On the other hand the Daily Mail j argues that if revolutions is talked i about in Germany, it is because the ] Government wants it to be talked ; about.It says that it is virtually true | that no strike can happen there in j war time unless the Government sees ! profit in it.The Daily Mail regards ; the movement as really an appeal to j British and French workmen to strike and says, that if the appeal succeeded, the Germans would immediately suppress their own strikers and renew the war with increased energy.In the editions the morning news- ; papers print further items on the ; strike received by way of Holland,1 but all apparently refer to happen- j ings on Wednesday.Strike at Dantzig Yards.The Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung says that the shipyard hands at Dantzig struck on Tuesday.The strike began in the Seined hau yard and the strikers were joined by four thousand workers in the Government yards.Up to Wednesday the workers in the arms and artillery plants at Dantzig had remained at work.The general commanding the Leipzig district had posted placards in that city threatening to send ail the strikers to the fighting front.It is reported that the German Government up to this time had prevented thi strike from extending to the railways and tramways, and to the workers employed in the production, and distribution of foods.Martial Law in Bremen.MaYtial law has been extended to Bremen, and Hemelingen, a nearby town.The Vorwaerts in announcing its suspension for three days, says, this step was taken because incited to mass a strike.Strikes have broken out in two more Dortmund mines.The strikers at Nuremburg, Bavaria, have resumed work after a day or two demonstration strike.SAYS SITUATION UNCHANGED (Associated Dress Despatch) LONDON, Feb.1 \u2014 The latest telegrams received in Copenhagen, from Berlin report the situation is unchanged, says an Exchange Telegraph despatch from the Danish Capital.The strike has not been extended.The Berliner Tageblatt reports that the police seized the trade union building in Berlin and arrested de^\u20191* ty Koersten and other leaders.CLASH BETWEEN STRIKERS AND POLICE IN BERLII (Associated Press Despatch) AMSTERDAM.Feb.1\u2014There was a clash between strikers and the police in the northwestern part of Berlin Thursday.One policeman was killed and a dozen strikers injured] There were minor disturbances in other sections and in the suburbs of Berlin.The German press generally agrees that the outbreak has reached its climax in Berlin, and is now receding.The demonstrations are said to show lack of centralized co-ordination.Reports from the chief industrial sections of Germany indicate that the strike movement nowhere is finding the support necessary to carry it along.-«- EDINBURGH CASTLE AS WAR MUSEUM (Via Reuter's Ottawa Agency) LONDON, Feb.1.\u2014The chief secretary for Scotland announced in the House of Commons that the Government had agreed to the conversion of Edinburgh Castle into a national war museum to -'\u2022nmemorate Scotland\u2019s part in the war.\t___ j* THE S\u201dR.WO Who has the foresight to purchase con-ervative Investment Bonds around present orices will be able» at a later date, to point vjith pride and profit at the wisdom of his judgment.It is the consensus of expert opinion that, on account of the decline which has already taken place, purchases made at prevailing prices must result in substantial profits.Send for list of seasoned Hydro-Electric and Public Utility Bonds at attractive prices.NESBITT, THOMPSON & Comparu , Limited, INVESTMENT BANKERS 222 St.James St., Montreal Mercantile Trust Bldg.Hamilton !

who have access to daily and weekly reports, and shipbuilding expert, who can estimate very closely Germany\u2019s production capacity, believe they have a fairly accurate Idea of the truth.They regard it as a liberal concession to say that Germany does not possess raero than 126 submarines.Some of then* estimate the number at uot over 104.And there seems to be a general agreement that Germany rarely If ever has in excess of thirty submarines at sea at one time.For the past year and more there have been all kinds of romantic tales about the number and the size of German submarines.Germany has been credited with possessing anywhere from 200 to 400 undersea craft, and there have been yams about submarine dreadnoughts running up to 6,000 tons displacement.Twelve months ago somebody predicted that at her rate of construction Germany would hare In service a thousand submarines at the end of a year.There has been talk of heavily armored submarines, capable of withstanding the Impact of five and six-inch shells.There were tales of 22-knot submarines, and even faster ones, capable of overtaking the average passenger liner.New, all these stories, hi the belief of naval experts hare emanated from German sources and hare been spread abroad for the purpose of creating fear and panic.No ma.has yet seen one of these submarine leviathans whoso advent has been reported.Certainly none of the many submarines that bare been captured by the British and allied naval forces fill the specifications.There Is no authentic testimony concerning any submarine that displaces more than 1,000 tons, and most of them have been smaller than that.A 1,000-ton submarine Is a big fellow, some 300 feet in length, approximately matching in size the modern destroyer.The heavily armored submarine Is unknown.There are some that carry light armor about their conning towers and along the upper deck, but they will not resist five or six-inch shells, or oven a well placed three-inch shot.The armor of the submarines Is concealment, and this is testified by the anxiety they display In disappearing from sight under attack by light naval craft.If they were armored to match the German tales they could fearlessly come to the surface and engage In stand-up fights with destroyers\u2014a thing that has never yet been attempted.At the outset of the war Germany was generally credited with soma seventy of much smaller size than the modern type.Taking into consideration Germany\u2019s shipyard capacity and allowing that she may have concentrated most of her efforts on submarine construction since that time.It is the best judgment of naval experts that never at any time did she have more than 209 submarines.Her shipyards no longer possess their original capacity.There have been heavy inroads on the men, and even heavier reduction in the matter of raw material.It is regarded as certain that not one of the original submarine Ceet she had at the time tbo war began is now in service.Most of the first batch have been destroyed, others worn out.There is no doubt that Germany rapidly increased the number of her submarines for a time; that was before the Allies began to make headway against them.Within the last year Germany\u2019s submarine strength has been receding, especially within the last six months.The most rapid construction of which the German» are capable does not now equal th# rate of destruction.Whatever Germany's actual capacity for submarine construction, naval men have proved to their own satisfaction that they can sink and capture undersea craft more rapidly than they can be built.The average number at sea each day at this time Is known to be appreciably less than the average number six or eight months ago.When Germany started her ruthless campaign she began playing havoc with Allied shipping, but she also risked her own undersea craft In a wholesale way.She gave the Allies opportunity to destroy more, and the Allies have done so.Making allowances for the cruising 1 limitations of submarines, for the fact that their crews require periodical rests, for the further fact that It Is extremely difficulty to train officers and men for this kind of work, and deducting the necessary periods that must be devoted to overhaul and repair, the estimate Is that Germany cannot maintain more than thirty such craft at sea at any time.\u201cOf course,\u201d a naval expert remarked to-day, \"thirty enemy submarines la thirty too many.But It is a whole lot less than the yarns of a hundred or more.Thirty subma- | rines turned loose In the shipping j lanes can do an extraordinary 1 amount of damage.As a matter of cold calculation they ought to do ; more damage than they are doing.The fact that they do not.Is a fin» testimonial to the growing effectiveness of the campaign that Is being made against them.What I mean Is that the submarine has become a far more vulnerable type than we believed it was a year or two ago.Wo rated it too low at the beginning of the war.Then we rated It altogether too high; but that was because wo had not made rapid ac ances against It.Now we rate it gomewhere between the maximum and the minimum.with Its effectiveness ngalnst new methods of attack steadily twlndllng.As things are going now.If this war last* long enough, Germany will have no submarines at CHILDREN NEED
