NOTHING KEPT BACK.
Britain’s Frankness.
(Received May 4, at 11.30 a.m.) New York, May 3
Lord Northcliffe, interviewed by the United Press, made a statement that Britain will shortly publish the • losses arising from submarines. She was not hiding any facts of importance connected with the war, on land or sea, save those likely to , benefit the enemy. Submarines were the strongest cards that Germany bad placed, but they would never win the war. British official reports were perfectly frank, and there was no concealment of any losses, while the Germans were afraid to publish theirs. The German people do not yet know of the fall of Bagdad. Th 9 war is certain to be a long one. The German mixture of science and brnte force was not easily broken. Britain was ready to settle the Home Rule difficulty. It lay entirely with Ireland itself. The provision of new, secret war implements was under way in Britain.
