LOSS OF BRITISH SHII'B. . SpenkoM at a meeting of the Chamber of Umpiring dit March 6 urged that the Government should be more candid concerning tbe cllcct of tlio submarine war. Lord luchcape, chairman of directors ot the I'. and 0. Company, said that many parts of the Country allowed a curious lack of sense us to tho realities of the position. The sinking of vesnels was going on at a rate of which the people had no conception. Comments on the speech oi Sir Eric Geddcs dwell oil shipbuilding. The "Times," which describes the position as exceedingly grave, believes that the tlagging output is not duo to the failure ot labour in the ordinary seiiße, but perhaps to the system which substituted official control for individual initiative., It suggests i a searching inquiry by a body representing the trade unions and the employers. Tlio "Daily News" says that the main responsibility for the mercantile marine situation rests with the Government. The policy of secrecy has been disastrous. If the public is allowed to sco and understand the naked facts, it will not be slow to act. The "Morning I'ost" remarks: The trouble in the shipyards Is more serious limn the submarine war. Wo believe that if tho men in tlio shipyards had been honestly and fairly treated from the first by the Government, and the hordes of Gov'ernment officials, they would cordially have responded. Tlio Government ■ must deal with the situation immediately. The "Daily Chronicle" thinks that the on'.v way to get the workmen to realise how much 'depends on them is to give greater publicity as regards the progress of the German submarine war and the progress made in British and Allied shipyards. WAT! RISK RATES. London cable advices received in Svdney state that the war risk rates for Australia and New Zealand are:—To and from French and Mediterranean ports, 9k; Italy, via Suez, 80s., via Cape 100s.; United States o-.

Mr. A. W. Bagley, fourth engineer on the Xlonowai, lias signed oil the articles. Mr. A. T. Bloomficld, wireless operator on the Pateena has transferred to the Monowai, relieving Mr. F. N. Davidson. Mr. G. Donnelly lia3 joined the Pateena. Tne Putiki is to . sail at 3 p.m. to-day for Nelson to load sheep for Lyttelton, from which poll she is due at Wellington on Saturday. A special general meeting of the Merchant Service Guild will be held at 11 a.m. to-day to discuss- what provision should be made for the dependants of New Zealand members interned in enemy countries. Ot the steamers set down for sailing last night, only a few got away, tile others being delayed by a shortage of wharf labour. The Nelson-owned scow Kapua, wl.cli left Nelson at 11 p.m. on Friday for Awaroa for a load ot (las, struck Bark Bay lcef at about 1 a.m. on Saturday, and turned on her side. A shortage of labonr at. New Plymouth has delayed the Waimea .which will not arrive at Wellington until to-morrow. She will sail for Nelson and tho West Coast In the evening. . . .... En route from Patea to Wellington the Waverley will call at Tarakohc to load cement, arriving hero to-inorrow. On her return from Havelock. and Sounds on Thursday the Blenheim will go on the slip for overhaul. The Canterbury Company's Storm is due here to-morrow laden with 4000 sacks of produce from Timaru.

Amongst those taken oil vessels dealt Willi by the German raider Wolf was a Newcustlo woman, Mrs. Oameron, wife of Captain Cameron, master of the American barque Beluga. Mrs. Cameron is a -'daughter' of. Mr. and Mrs;' Gregory, well-known residents of Newcastle. She was aboard the Beluga with her husband and two children. A cablegram has been received ■'by her parents stating that their daughter, Captain Cameron, and the two children nro safo in Denmark. The Beluga left Kan Francisco on May 6 for Sydney with a cargo .')f case oil, and was not heard of. again until a few weeks ago, when news was received, stating that the Beluga was Bunk by the German raidor Wolf. On February 1 tho price for bunker coal at Gibraltar was raised to 1855., f.o.b.
