GREAT BRITAIN'S
SHIPS ON GUARD
Keeps a Police Patrol of the North
Atlantic with Her Cruisers

New York, Aug. 26.-With hostile
warships prowlin5 about, Great Brit
ain has brought into action care
fully planned police patro. OF the
Atlantic ocean. Cruisers are the po-
licemen and the naval bases are the
police stations.
The scheme has been tried out In
reports Of sighting the British fight
,tfons show it is working most per-
fectly. Depending on this the Brit
ish admiralty has announced that
the Atlantic is safe to neutral mer-
chantmen and those friendly to
Great Britain.
The British plans for ten first
class cruisers on the main ocean
routes between ports o. America AM
the United Kingdom Nine of these
reported on duty, the Suffolk, Ber-
wick, Bristol, Good Hope, Drake,
Aboukir, Euryahus, and Lancaster.
1T is thought the cruiser Cornwall is
the tenth.
Naval men who have studied the
reports of sighting the British fight
ing ships believe the cruisers on pa
troll are stretched over course
passing north from the Bahamas to
bermuda, thence to off Cape Hat
teras, thence past New York to Nan
<ucket Shoals and thence to the
Grand Banks and finally the Irish
coasts.
The naval bases depended upon
for coal and provisions are st. Lucia.
and Barbados in the West Indies.
Bermuda, Halifax and ST. Johns, New
foundland
The cruisers range from 1000 to
$4,000 tons In size and at a fair
speed can steam two weeks at a
stretch.
The British Admiralty weighed
carefully the relative advantages of
conveys for merchant craft and a
trade route patrol before deciding on
the latter.
In recent maneuyres the British
placed so-called station ships on
trade route at 800 mile intervals
These ships were directed to be on a
specified meridian each day. They
changed positions daily. but the ex-
act locality for each day was known
to all other vessels in the patrol by
preconeert. The station vessels
cruised over regular police beats. IN
this way, merchant vessels could be
passed from one station ship to an
other.
It is this scheme which now, ac-
cording to the best information in
shipping circles here, is being carri-
ed out. There We're to be smaller or
intermediary vessels between the
larger station ships, but so far the
British do not appear to have been
able to spare more than the nine
cruisers, which does not allow for
any reserve after assigning for the
New York to Ireland and the Ber-
muda to West Indies routes.
1T is a coincidence, perhaps, that
during the war of 1912 the first
British naval fleet on the American
coast. consisted of five ships of war,
namely, the shannon. the Africa, the
Aeolus, the Guerriere and the Belyi-
dere. Tt was this force which attempts
led to overhaul the Constitution on
the New Jersey coast. The above
4 five British vessels were patro1ling
0n the North American trade route.

Using peat in Germany.

Peat coke in Germany is proving
serviceable in many ways. 1t is not
only valuable for generating cleo
tricity at moorland stations, but is
much used by blacksmiths and for va

cially as substitute for charcoal
In producing high-grade iron A new
turf-cooking plant at Elizabeth ehn,
Oldenburg, converts 80 tons of peat
into nine of coke, with gas and tar
as by-pr oducts. Specially designed
ovens are used and the gas generated
is made to heat the retorts and to
generate electric current to drive
the peat dredging machines. The
tar yields creosote oil, gas oil, par

He states business is very quiet on the West Coast with the eX- ception of Craig, but that place he says is booming.
