Despite a larger mums-er of submarines to start with, Germany has obtained less in the way of results from the submarine arm than in 1917.

The long training and the careful selection required make it impossible to turn out submarine crews ragidly enough to re lace those w o fall victims of the e th charges of British and French es- troyeters and the bombs or allied air- cra. .
