To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have seen that the worst losses of the war were in April 1917, and that the con- tinuance of the rate of loss at that time would have been fatal to the Allied cause ; but there was not a single month after April when the German Admiralty did not have more submarines operating than in that month, and in some months indeed they had 50 per cent. More. That they failed to continue their success was due not to failing numbers or failing skill but to the convoy system. By the Armistice 607 homewar...d bound convoys had been brought in, including 9, 300 ships of a tonnage of 68, 000, 000 tons dead weight ; of these only 73, with a dead weight of 500, 000 tons, had been lost. By the same date there had been 527 outward convoys with 7, 300 ships of 52, 000, 000 tons dead weight, of which only 45 ships, of a dead weight tonnage of 387, 000 tons, had been lost. This gives a total loss of 118 ships (890, 000 tons dead weight) out of 16, 600 ships (120, 000, 000 tons dead weight), or 0-7 per cent.
