BRITISH NAVY NOW
READY TO MEET ANY
SUBMARINE ATTACKS
Admiralty Only, Knows Plans
That VIII Be Carried
Out in War
GERMANS CAPTURE
5U,UUU PKlSUNEkS
General Battle From Swiss
Frontier to North Sea
Starting
(By Ed L. Keen.)

London, Feb. 1.-THE British navy
is ready to meet Germany's submarine
raids. Only the admiralty knows just
what the plans are, but there is evil
dence of more confident feeling than
has existed at any time since Germany
served notice of her intention to estab-
lish war zone.
Escorts, it was believed, will be pro-
vided for the British merchant fleet
and q majority Of the sailings will pro-
eeed on schedule time. A flotilla Of
destroyers and torpedo boats will be
assigned to duty along the steamship
lanes.
1t was believed the Germans will
attempt to strike hard at the outset
in an effort to terrify ship owners and
keep English vessels in port. The sink
ing Of the Dulwich was accepted as
the opening of the German submarine
campaign. Advices from Havre say the
crew was given time TO collect its eff
fects, but officials here declare they
have information TO the contrary.
Government officials here say th,
German submarine launched a torpedo
and then disappeared Immediately. The
crew escaped, they said, only because
the Dulwich did not sink at once,
All Scandinavian vessels reaching
English ports today had national col
ors painted on their upper works anC
their names permanently displayed
