IN THE WARZONE,,
What THEY MEAN
by J. w. Il. MASON,
CWritten for the United Press)


NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-G1 a. m.)-
Fifty German submarines at most,
begin today the impossible task of
trying to blockade the coast line OF
the British Isles, which measures
about two thousand miles. This
gives a maximum of one submarine
for every fifty miles of water; but
even then, only for a very brief time,
since under-sea boats must return to
their bases frequently for new fuel
or more torpedoes.
There Is no evidence that any coun-
try has succeeded in establishing sup
ply bases for submarines on the
ocean bed. AS far as is known, no
navy has submarines capable of be-
ing opened, with safety, below the
surface. Otherwise. submarine crews
could rescue themselves by bobbing

Germany's submarines cannot keep
! the seas for a considerable period un-
less they remain inactive and their
offensive power is thus lessened by
their necessarily frequent returns
home.
IT, therefore, Germany has as many al
fifty submarines ready for action in the
new war zone, this number must be cu
in half as far as continuous activity i
concerned. One half will be reftting a
lCuxhaven OF another base, while the sec
ond half of the lotilla is making wa
