WASHINGTON, May
The United States has already
placed a considerable amount of
24,—3.1
1 ship tonnage at the disposal of
the Entente Allies. Lord Eustace
Percy, ship expert with the Brit-
the govcinant had supplied cer
tain vessels to be used according
to the Allies‘ needs, but refused
to indicate what they were or if
they were the seized German
ships.
Lord Percy declared that the
present rate of British construc-
tion of ships and the present esti-
mated American rate could not.
keep pace with the present rate1
of destruction by submarines.
The balancing figure in the
world struggle, said Lord
Percy, is the tonnage the United

dication of any change in the mili-‘
tary Situation which would cause
them to retire. In fact, the Rus-
sian armies further south and
their British allies in Mesopo-
tamia have won a series of strik-
ing victories in the last few
months.
