GERMANY'S MERCANTILE MARINE. The Kolnische Zeltung, in the course of an ihterestlng article, deals with the losses of the German mercantile marine during the war, and' its present position after deducting all probable losses, apparently with a view to showing Its readers that, notwithstanding the losses,.German tonnage will still be sufficient to make Germany one of the principal shipping nations. It is pointed out that, when war broke out, there Were 5% million tons gross Sailing under the German Hag, which is reduced to 3.T million tons at the present time. Of this tonnage 2% millions are in Home waters or the immediate neighbourhood thereof, three-quarters of a million are in ports in neutral countries, 625,000 tons have been requisitioned by neutrals for their use, and 65,000 tons are placed In enemy hands by the Armistice, the remaining 1.8 million tons being reckoned as lost. It is also assumed that, of the ships In German Home waters, 250,000 tons have been lost on War service (it being added that this estimate Is undoubtedly high), so that there are atiU 3% million tons in German ownership. To this, it is stated, must be added the ships built during the war, which amount to at least 1,600,000 tons, so that the German mercantile marine at the present time still comprises about 4% million tons. While, undoubtedly, these statements are intended to encourage the enemy, Allied readers will also And satisfaction In the figures, in view of the fact that they expect the losses caused by the submarine piracy to be made good out of German tonnage.
