City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 9, 1916.
it appears Horn tire reports tirat
Britain has turned the tables on Ger
many in the matter of the submarine
warfare and is at present enjoying an
almost complete monopoly of the busi
ness of sinking vessels through sub
marine attack. Of course Britain is
not making ^he showing that Germany
urd but tills is probably due to the
iact that she has a far mbre restricted
neld for her endeavors. German com
merce is at present almost driven from
the seas and such few vessels as are
engaged in overseas transportation are
eontined to the Baltic. Still it is ap
parent that the British vessels are
playing havoc with the enemy ships
and have brought about a considerable
destruction within the comparatively
orief period of operation. From all
accounts it appears that Germany is
unable to cope with the situation and
has been compelled to see her commerce
i arriers interned or sent to the bot
lom. All of which indicates that she
in a sense caught by her own de
. u es and is compelled to suffer by
the same instruments she was wont to
employ with such eminent success until
the British found a way to circum
vent their activities. While -the Brit
i have paid a heavy price for their
success in stopping' the German at
;acks, they are doubtless striking the
Germans a hard blow through cutting
off their last remaining avenue of sup
ply from foreign sources. Befo.e the
commencement of the British sub
marine activities in the Baltic, Ger
many was enjoying practically unre
uicted trade intercourse with the
.'candlnavian countries and was draw
■ therefrom an immense amount of
commodities essential to the conduct
of the war. Iron, cotton and a great
variety of other products including ,
much necessary food stuffs were ob- ,
lained from those sources and the cut- ,
Bug off of supplies from that quar- -
ter is unquestionably a hard blow. It
is probable that Britain is inflicting j
upon her enemy through the medium ,
of her submarine activities an even
greater loss than she was herself com
pelled to sustain. The best efforts of
the Germans could not more than
slightly restrict the commerce of Bri
tain and the losses inflicted were but
small when compared with the wide
extent of British commerce and the
1
immense size of her commercial fleet.
The loss of a hundred ships or so
meant to her but little as she was still
possessed of hundreds of vessels and
could carry on her commerce in spite
of the losses. To her the sinking of
a ship and its cargo meant a monetary
loss alone as she had but to send forth
other commercial vessels to secure
everything essential to her affairs.
With Germany, however, the reverse
is the case. At this juncture the loss
of a vessel is a matter o( considerable
import and if such loss also involves
the loss of a cargo of necessary pro
ducts or material it is indeed a hard
blow. To Germany It !■ not only a
matter of ships but also of supplies
nnd every restriction which tends to
sever her means of obtaining them is
i blow struck at her existence. If
Britain's submarines succeed in ac
complishing but half of the destruction
visited upon herself the effects will be
felt in Germany with an intensity a
thousand fold greater. Germany’s
losses cannot, like England's, be sum
med up in terms of pounds and pence
for the value of everyq loss sustain
ed will be measured largely by
the need and the greater the
situation means to Germany something
very big and very vital.
