GERMANY’ POSITION.
Discussed in Lords (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association and Reuter.) (Received March 29, at 11.10 a.m.) London, March 28 In the House of Lirds, Lord Charles Beresford said he did not think the captures of aubrav i res wore equivalent to the German output of new boats. He predicted a world famine in the
next three years. He believed that Germany had more food than we imagined. The Foreign Office had too much power over the Navy, We were much blockaded. The losses of British, allied and neutrals in Fobruary was 281 vessels of a total of 505,000 tons, and in March to date 255 vessels of a total of 420,000 ton*. The losses will be worse in the longer days and calmer weather. Lord Lytton, Emmott, Lansdowne and Findlay emphasised that it was
impossible to blockade neutrals, unless we were prepared to go to war with them. Destroyer Lost. (Australian & N.Z. Gable Association and Renter.) Athens, March 28 The Admiralty reports a British destroyer was recently mined and sunk in the Channel. Four officers and 17 men were saved.
