ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, March 10.-A young Ameri.

of a mine-sweepCr, sends the following
account of one of his trips out into
the North Sea:
" Order: You will proceed at once to

the order which sent us to hammer

us on the staggering trawler at that

of sweeping the sea has been i'm

in the far East, when Japan and Rus

ern naval fighting equipment to the
benefit of keenly interested Spectators
That discovery was the offensive value
Of the submarine mine. Japan led The
way in the matter, but Russia. once
awakened, followed with such clticlcn-
cy that at the final balance it was
found that Japan had lost ten
warships through mines and Russia
fourteen. The mines had done practi-
cally as much harm to the respective
navies as the ships had been able %
inf1ict upon each other.
Therefore it was that We were

Our partner was an old friend and

The little vessels separated, found

Hour after hour, through a succession
