Paris, March 23.-(By mail to New
York. )-German and Austrian owned
hotels. villas and private residences
Of all kinds on the famous French
riviera are to be used as hospitals for
the French soldiers whom the former
are wounding If Deputy Georges Bous-
senot can have his way. He has writ
ten to the minister of the interior de-
manding that all such properties be
taken over by the government and
equipped at once as military hospitals
The delightful winter climate of the
riviera, it is pointed out, would be
most important factor in the conva-
lescence Of the wounded. As a goodly
portion Of the hotel industry on the
riviera is in the hands of German con-
Germs it is estimated that the seizure
of the hotels alone would afford all Of
the hospitals accommodations that
could possibly be needed.
Rebuilding Towns.
France has just begun it's first step
towards the rebuilding on the most
modern lines of the hundreds of
French towns and villages destroyed
in the present war AS many of these
were centuries old, even their historic
interest and Importance could not al
ways offset the disadvantage of unsan-
itary location and construction result
ing from the more or less primitive
times in which they were built. A
commission composed of NJ. Brissac,
director of public hygiene, Drs. julien
Rensult. Potteyin and Labbet techni-
cal sanitary experts, M. Martel, the
famous geologist, and M. Pelissier, one
of the greatest modern authorities on
agricultural improvement, has just
been appointed to inspect the pro-
vinces invaded by the Germans for the
purpose of preparing sites and plans
for the reconstruction of the towns
and villages under modern sanitary
requirements. Similar commissions of
experts for passing upon other essen
tial elements in the rebuilding of the
towns will be appointed later as the
work is carried on step by step.

Submarines Cross Atlantic?
BY J. w. T. MASON.

written for the United Press.)
New York, April 5.-Germany NAV
te preparing to send submarines
across the Atlantic to resume her
naval warfare in American waters.
This possibility is contained in the
news that British steamer has been
sunk by German submarine off Cape
Finisterre, Spain. The affair is small
in Itself, but it establishes a new rec
ord for submarine voyage. For that
reason it is the most important Incl
dent. from technical standpoint, that
has occurred since the German under
sea warfare began.
Finisterre is about 1900 miles from
Cuxhaven and the route passes through
the Bay of Biscay, one of the rough
est pieces of water on the globe. Only
a very recently designed submarine
could have undertaken the voyage,
which doubtless is chiefly for expert
mental and scientific purposes. Other
wise, there would be more certainty
Of results proportionate to the energy
expended, by confining operations to
the waters of the British Isles.
The newest type of submarine which
It is known Germany is constructing,
has many tentative features. On these
the future development of underwater
warfare partly depends Undoubted-
ly much Of the German submarine ac-
ticity is planned primarily to try out
these innovations The recent ap-
pearance Of a submarine off the west
coast Of Ireland was an experiment.
So is the presence of another of the
vessels off the Spanish coast. The
sudden announcement that still an
ether German under-sea craft had
had been sighted off New York might
some day become the logical third.
The radius of action Of the newest
submarines is 5000 to 1000 miles, at a
speed of eight and one half knots per
hour. This would permit subma-
rine, in theory, to cross the Atlantic
and return to Germany. Whether tho
feat is practically possible depends on
the weather The radius Of action for
submarine is a surface radius. Oil
fuel is used for surface propulsion,
while electricity must be substituted
as the motive power when the vessel
is submerged. 1t is impossible that
enough electricity can be stored away
by the best of the super-submarines
for more than hundred miles jour
ney, without recharging. Therefore, a
long voyage must be made almost en-
tirely on the surface where there is
grave risk OF serious damage during
the stress of North Atlantic weather.
Nevertheless, now that the winter
gales are giving way to milder atmos-
pheric conditions it is by no means
impossible that a German submarine
will attempt to make journey to
America. The game would be worthy
of the fearlessness and daring shown
by by the German naval officers There
are several warships of the allied pow
ers keeping watch outside New York
and other American ports. A surprise
