Special Mine Devised. A special type of mine also has been devised which is laid in large fields which have proved particularly dangerous to submarines approach. ing steamer lines. The German methods of supplying submarines with oil and provisions either at sea or from concealed plac- es along the coasts of the British Isles, have been ferreted out and.vir- tually disposed of. This compels the boats to return to their bases at more frequent intervals and leaves them only a comparatively short time of position and equipped for ef- fective duty. [ Destroyers, the reports declare, became experts in the gate of sub marine hunting, and armed trawlers also have proved very effective, on account of their speed and ability quickly to get within easy range of their victims, But the greatest single factor, it is said, has been a newly designed and built fleet of small seagoing motor boats, armed - with one or two/3-inch guns and pos- sessing very high speed.

These boa rally swarm over - suspected expanse of the waters, and by an effectively, worked-out system of patrol, cover almost every mile of the surface /in channels of commerce adjacent 10 Great Britain. As a submarine must frequently rise to renew its air supply and recharge the storage batteries, by which it is pro- pelled when submerged, any boat in the territory covered by the scouts is almost certain to be eventually de- tected and destroyed.

Dreadnought Chief Reliance. Theése reports are being closely, scrutinized on account of the bearing | they may have upon the naval policy of the United States. They reaffirm officers of the navy in their convie- tion that the dreadnought still is the mainstay-ih warfare on sea, and tend to dissipate the profound impression created by the spectacular and for a long time apparently unsuppressed | operations of the German U-boats| around the British isles. . According to the reports, destruc- tion or capture of fifty submarines actually had been reported several weeks ago, and it regarded as pos- sible that the number might have reached seventy. A dinuer was given recently in Stale affair, was attended by high government officials, in celebration of the destruction of the fiftieth un- derwar enemy. Reports of the din- ner apparently were suppressed by the censor in accordance with Great Britain's policy of keeping Germany in doubt as to how many of the boats have been destroyed.
