LONDON. May 4.—A grave warn
ing that the submarine menace may lie
an importable factor in deciding the
outcome of the war was sounded to
day by Sir Albert Stanley, president
of the British board of trade. Ad
dressing a luncheon of business men,
Sir Albert said:
"We have not yet found a way of
dealing with the submarine so as to
remove the danger of their being an
enormously important factor in de
termining the outcome ot the war.
The effect of the submarine war upon j
the existence of the British Empire
is simply this—that we cannot con
tinue to bring into this country all
the material and supplies required for
our existence for the continuance of
the war and for the actual needs of
our industries."
