GERMAN SUBMARINES
TORAD CANADA TRADE
Undersea Base to Be Estab-
lished Off Dominion Coast,
Naval Reserve officer Says.
NEW YORK. July

NEW 1OEshs tuiy -
Germany plans to carry her submarine
warfare into American waters, according
to a reserve officer of the German navy,
who is understood to be cognizant Of the
intentions of Great Admiral Won Tlrpitz,
Chief of Staff Of the German Admiralty
The plan as outlined provides for the
establishment of submarine bases off the
Canadian coast with view to sinking
every vessel leaving Halifax and Quebec
for British ports.
The scheme can be carried out, the
Germans are sure, without any question
arising as to the Legality Of the proceed
ing or the violation of the Monroe Doc
trine. The latter will not be affected.
1t is pointed out, because 1t can be shown
that the establishment of such bases
would be in the enemy's territory and
would not be done with a view to terri
torlal conquests. Also no question of the
neutrality of the United States would be
involved.
Since the beginning of the war. and
especially since the establishment in Feb
ruary of a war zone around the British
Isles by Germany, the bulk of arms and
other munitions of war has been shipped
via Montreal and Quebec, This has been
particularly true OF elllpIHSlts VI mHe'''
horses and mules. Since the Lusitania
was sunk many business men of the
United States have preferred routing their
products through Canada to shipping
them on steamers leaving ports in this
country.
Another feature that has made the
Germans especially desirous of stationing
submarines off Canada is the opportunity
that would thus be afforded of sinking
transports conveying Canadian troops to
England and France.

For four hours an extremely intense
artillery fire as directed upon our lines
and ON the rear zone of the Franco
British troops. Following this the enemy
attempted several infantry attacks, but
not one succeeded in reaching our
trenches.
"Decimated by our fire and moved
down by rifles and machine guns, most
of the assailants were left dead on the
ground.
During the entire action the enemy's
batteries on the Asiatic coast kept up an
incessant fire. A Turkish cruiser. cross
ing between Maidos and Chanak, took
part in the action.
Several of the enemy's avlators under
