WAR HOLDS BACK HER COMING OUT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. It is true that the Teuton submarine have materially slackened their ravages late

ly, and there is warrant for the question, what does this comparative lull portend? Some naval experts believe the Germans, finding it harder to operate in the waters about England, are planning to change the terror zone to include, the ; east coast of the two Americas. Within a -range of 2,568 nautical miles along the Atlantic-seaboard the United States has only eight stations, and just five of these are capable of lending really substantial aid to battle craft of large size. All five lie between Chesapeake Bay and the Pis-

cataqua river. This point brings out the hazard to which transports, supply ships and other large vessels vital to the conduct of the war would be ex

posed were the GermanB to bring theii submarine to this side of the Atlantic And that they can do so has been established by the voyages of the cargo carrying Deutschland and the military U-53. It is well established In official circles that the Germans have boats of 1,200 and 1,500 tons, and craft of these sizes should certainly be able to go further and maintain themselves longer than submarines of the U-53 type.

do what they could not have don had they depended solely upon submarines of the U-53 class. That la to say, the U-boats that have scored so heavily during the present' year by means of gunfire, and which have operated hun

dreds of miles seaward from the British Isles, have, so far as report go, generally been of displacements in

the neighborhood of 1,000 tons. .

And now we are told that the Teu

tons have -well advanced still greater

seagoing submarines of about 3,000

tons boats capable of making niteea

knots on the surface; armed with guns

of six-inch calibre; - and said to be able

to keep the sea for two or three

months. If this be so and there is

nothing mechanically or technically

prohibitive in such a design, then what

is more likely, than that Germany

should elect to send these craft right across the Atlantic? . , : "

Commerce Raiders on Atlantic? Only a month ago it was announced

that reliable information had reached

the British admiralty to : the effect

that Germany was Intent upon supple

menting the winter activities of her U-boats by commerce raiders . which would cruise in the Atlantic and possibly, operate sporadically off the American coast. These speedy blockaderunners have scored, heavily in the past, and they have uniformly carried armaments ' superior to those aboard our destroyers. Why couldn't vessels of this sort serve the double purpose of preying upon commerce and providing mobile bases of supply tor

offensive submarines? With ships of

this kind to draw upon, the hostile radius of action of the U-boat becomes

Immensely widened. The underwater craft would no longer have to seek a

home port for the replenishment of fuel, edible, stores., etc.. nor , would

there be any difficulty in providing thus for a fairly frequent relief of crews. After all, the range of a U-boat is determined by the endurance of her personnel. Knowing the vital -part that America Is bent upon playing in heartening and materially helping Germany's enem ies, there Is very reason why the kaiser's naval strategists should want to strike our ships on this side of th Atlantic hoping in this way to stagger us and to make us hesitate. Patrolling forces would have to cover out coast, the breadth of the North Atlantic, as well as the waters neighboring the British Isles. Instead of a compact

COLLAR

or short line of defence the problem would be to protect one lengthened by

thousands of miles. Is this the tasx

that will confront us in the near fu

tore? If so, the slackening up of German's U-boat campaign in European waters is not one from which to draw comfort.

Do you have any letters, written by James Whitcomb Riley, Indiana's most loved poet? Edmund H. Eitel, administrator ot the estate of the famous children's poet, is preparing for publication a set of Riley's let-' ters and . he will be very grateful if any one who has letters or who knows of their existence, will communicate with him or will send the letters which will be returned as soon as copied. He can be addressed in care ot the Riley estate, Indianapolis, Ind.

Manifestly In covering the greater part of the stretch between the German

coast and . our Atlantic seaboard

enemy underwater craft would run at

a cruising speed of about ten knots

and do this on the surface. Once In the open sea a submarine in light con- j dition would be an inconspicuous object, and it could count with measurable confidence upon getting under cover of the waves long before hostile vessels would be aware of its presence At least this would be generally the case in clear weather. Fog or a very dark night might change the situation but the submarine should be able to escape surprise by "listening in" with her microphones. Big U-BoaU Not Vulnerable. The fact that British anti-submarine patrols have sunk big German

U-boats does not mean that they would not have sent to the bottom quite as easily underwater craft of lesser displacements. They destroyed big boats, in all probability, mainly because they had only large submarines to contend with. This does not warrant the conclusion that underwater craft of 1,500 tons are necessarily more vulnerable, on account of their size, than U-boats of half that displacement. Increased tonnage has made it possible for the Teutons to
