(By Associated Press.)

off Dover and later by the destruction
of two commercial steamers OF tha
French coast, gives evidence, says tina
writer that German underwater
craft are able to operate almost any
where, even in the most frequente6
waters.
He dismisses the suggestion that tho
revival of German submarine activits
has been due to the restoration of the
locks at zeebrugge, Belgium. Ger
many's new naval base, stating that to
his knowledge the locks were never
damaged by British gunfire, as hal
been stated. AS a matter of fact, he
argues, German submarines are not
dependent on Zeebrugge as base in
order to make successful raids in Ergs
lish waters. That their radius of ar.
ton is extensive enough without it ne
says is proved by the fact that sub
marines have gone as far as the Shet-
land Islands and to points even more
distant, referring evidently to the we'll
authenticated ranort that one Of the
little craft had circumnavigated the
entire British Isles.
