SUBMARINE FROM GERMANY
TO Be SENT OFF CANADA
German Naval Officer Says PIungers
win be Sent Across to Stop
Exports of Munitions.

New York, July 7.--Germany plans
TO carry her submarine warfare into
American waters, according to a re-
serve officer Of the German navy, who
is understood to be cognizant of the
interests Of Admiral Won Tirpitz Of
chief of staff of the German admiral
ty. The plan as outlined provides for
the establishment of Submarine bases
off the Canadian coast with vew to
sinking every vessel leaving Halifax
and Quebec for British ports.
The scheme can be carried out, the
Germans are sure, without question
arising as to the legality Of the pro-
ceeding or the violation of the Mon
roe doctrine. The later cannot be
effected, it is pointed out, because it
can be shown that the establishment
Of such bases would be in the enemy's
territory conquests. Also no question
Of the neutrality Of United States
would be involved.
Constantinople, July IAN Of
fetal statement issued says:
"In the Dardanelles a German sub
marine July sank large French
transport steamer off Seddul Bahr.
