What dt>es "starvation" mean, and how quickly ean England be reduced to helpless ness It Is a complex problem, and we can deal with It in only the broad* est approximations. And since the de gree of deprivation which a nation will endure before it collapses is Impossible to state, the safest method of approach Is to ask, What must the German sub marines accomplish In order to reduce England to the condition in which CJor manv herself stands ly the matter ofj food? Two arithmetical factors enter to the calculation. The Mr.M is that be fore the outbreak ,>f the war Emr bind imported probably two thirds of her food requirements.

' And if prosperity Uml success finally i crown my devoted efforts, the public j will never have reason to regret ha i ing assisted me.
