UNDERSEA WARFARE
England COmbats Submarines
With an Under Water Tele-
phone and Motor Boats

Washington.-Great Britain has dis
covered and put into operation means
OF combating the submarine which,
according to official reports TO the
United States government, have re-
suited in a loss estimated at between
90 and rs German submarines The
reports declare that the British Ad-
miralty believes it has crushed the
German undersea campaign.
New methods of offense and de
tense that may revolutionize naval
warfare have been adopted, and high
British naval officers are of the opin-
ion that unless the effectiveness of
the submarine is increased it no
longer will constitute the menace
that it has to commerce and battle
fleets.
Swift Motorboats Are Best.
A submarine telephone has been
developed by which it is possible to
detect the approach of a submarine
by sound from observation boats or
stations planted off shore connected
with points in the mainland.
The greatest single factor, Il is
said, has been a newly-designed and
built fleet of small seagoing motor
boats, armed with one or two 3-inch
guns and possessing very high sweed.
