THE SUBMARINE WAR.
COULD NOT HAVE SUCCEEDED. THE SHIPS AVAILABLE, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. tu T Berlin, Nov. 0. ine \\ar Inquiry Committee examined Admiral Kolh and other officers of the Admiralty staff. They contended that thev never expected the submarines to bring England to her knees, but to dispose her to peace by showing that Germany could hold out longer than Britain. This would have been accomplished in 1917, but Herr Erzeberger'3 revelations regarding Count Czernin's pessimistic report to the Emperor Karl and the Reichstag's resolution in favor of peace encouraged England to continue the war. Dr. Struve, the Reichstag Deputy for Kiel, informed the committee tliat the Admiralty's statements during the war concerning the number of submarines available for duty were grossly untrue. Only 54 were available out of 203 during 1917, though the Herman yards could have turned out 139.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
