The additional consumers taken on in 1914 and 1915 warranted the manufactur installation of additional equipment, but in a general way, all industrial appliances of this nature were side-track- ed in the one great endeavor to win the war, and the prices which we received for new machinery at this time would not justify the éxpenditure. During the last few with a m over-taxed P Jears, the Commission, t, endeavored to fur- nish a supply as best they could under existing con- ditions until the steel and iron market became nor- mal. Contracts are to-day in the hands of the Manu- facturers for new Purifiers and Generators, capable of supplyi 10 a continuous service and every ex- ency will be brought to bear to have these var- us machines erected with the least possible delay. In the meantime, we sincerely trust you will bear patiently with us in our endeavor to furnish ithe best supply. possible under our very much crip- pled condition.

"The submarine war wad lost," says Tirpits, "because Germany did not hold consistently to the thought to apply every justified means avail- able." : Von Tirpits offers ' documentary proof that he opposed beginning the U-boat warfare in February, 1915; also that he o) the magner of proclaiming the plan. Von Tirpitz explains that he was persongily am- bitious to _fake command of the high seas fleet "20 out to meet the British.
