LONDON, Feb. 24.--The German cubmarine blockade ot the Uritiah Isles has been in effect one week. The result, so fur as .ts: known, is that t\v.?

On the other-ride o? the* account ! two Gorman submarines ure reported missing und a third hit and possibly Hunk by a French destroyer. Beatdea the vessels which foll vic tims to the submarines, two Ameri can and one Norwegian steamers have been sunk by minos nenr..t][lfivGer'man coast and the Swedish steamer Spccia and one or two British .steamers are overdue and it is fenred they' have been lost. Nearly all the steamers torpedoed by submarines were small and slow VC38O1B and at least three were caught while at anchor or while barely un der way. Thia fact, with the failure ot a submarine to hit a fast cross-: channel steamer at which it fired a torpedo, apparently proves lo the sat isfaction of British naval writers that I steamers with moderate speed, which j observe obvious precautions, can es cape .the under-water craft, and such vessels ar ? continuing to cross the seas. The blockade, however, has incr?as- I cd insurance rates and some neutral owners are keeping their snips in neutral waters. With such conditions obtaining the public In England and In neutral! countries aro curious as to the latest proposal of the Arrarlcan government to Great Britain and Germany con cerning thc blockade and also as to what reprisait, the allies will make to] tho blockade.
