ZEEBRUGGE Is NEW
 GERMAN NAVAL BASE,

BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The steady ex- tension of the sphere of activity of German submarines is the subject of a recent article by the German naval expert, Count ReventlOw, The sink ing of the British battleship FOmid- able in the Channel, preceded as it was by the sinking of a patrol boat off power and later by the destruction of two commercial steamers off the French coast, gives evidence, says the writer, that German under water crafts are able to operate almost any where even in the most freQuented waters.
 He dismisses the suggestion that the revival of German submarine ac- tivity has been due to the restoration of the locks at Zeebrugge, Belgium, Germany's new naval base, stating that to his knowledge the locks were never damaged by British gunfre as had been maintained. AS matter of fact, he argues, German submarines are not dependent on Zeebrugge as base in order to make successful raids in England waters. That their radius of action is extensive enough without it he says is proved by the fact that submarines have gone as far as the Shetland Islands and to points even more distant, referring evidently to the well-authenticated report that one of the little craft had circumnavigated the entire British Isles.
