ON THE SEA.
THE MARITIME SITUATION. London, July 25. Mr. Archibald Hurd writes: Although the losses by submarines continue to decrease, the sinkings still greatly exceed the output of the shipyards. This is due mainly to the shortage of labor. The net reduction of tonnage during the war period must now be four million tons. The general maritime situation is now far better than a year ago, but is still far from satisfactory. Our seamen are fighting piracy more successfully, and the Americans are speeding up ship construction. A considerable number of neutral ships have been obtained by the Allies, but the situation is an anxious one in view of the war after the war position.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc. THE JUSTITIA FIGHT. , Received July 26, 9 p.m. London, July 25. The Admiralty states that as the result of the first explosion fifteen of the Justitia's staff are missing. The submarine sunk by the Marne was endeavoring to get into position to attack the Justitia.—Aus. N.Z, Cable Assoc, and Renter.
