Invading Fleet Could Defy
II, View of Naval
Officers.
| BRITISH SUCCESS
TEACHES LITTLE
Battlesllips Still Nations Rel
ance - UnderSea Protection
Talk Called TWaddle.

Washington. Oct. Fresh proof that
the submarine cannot defend the United
States against a foreign feet. and that
dependence for years, at least, will have
TO be in the older types Of ships, was
seen by naval experts to-day in the re
ports of British. successes against Ger
man undersea boats.
There were few lessons to be drawn
from the British campaign, 40 far as
the experts are concerned. for this view
has always been automatic with them.
The experts point out that there Is no
danger TO the United states IN an at
tack by any number Of submarines
The Navy Department takes the pub
lished figures OF German losses with
good deal Of salt. The best intorma-
ton that has reached the department Is
so conf citing that no reliance IS placed
on II statements from men apparently
equally well informed put the number
of U-boats DESTROYED all the way from
thirty TO seyenty-five. But it is recOg-
nized that Great Britain has mad con-
siderable success against the raiders.
Small Area Can BE Made Safe.
The results of the British efforts are
believed TO show cOnclusively that 1t is
now possible, with scout cruisers. a
flock of motorboat guards and aero
plane searchers, TO make any small area
of the ocean absolutely safe from sub
marine attack. Thus, IL would be pos
sible for hostile feet approaching the
American coast TO throw around itself
such safeguards that 1t could defy the
efforts of any number of United States
submarines to turn It back. or even to
cause it serious losses.
Only the approach of American ships
powerful enough 10 drive away the
scouts would allow a single submarine
TO come within range of the enemy, and
as these vessels would have to be able
to meet and engage the enemy's fleet
/ they could consist of the only rell-
able kind of fighters -battleships.
/ When the battle was on between these
great vessels the submarines would for
the first time come into use; then they
might dec de the fate of the day.
"All talk of defending the coast line
Of the United States with nothing but
submarines is the merest twaddle,
said a prominent naval officer. IF an

boats no submarine could 90 near

GAFFNEY DEFENDS
CONDUCT AT MUNICH
Recalled u. S. Consul General
Denies Criticising Wilson and
Accuses British Press.

Berlin, Oct. "A statement to the
press In reply to recent criticisms of
his conduct was made to-day by T. St
John Gaffney. American Consul Gen
eral at Munich, who has been requested
by the State Department at Washing

"The contention that |, with or with

declared in his statement. Equally

Respecting statements published in
the United States that he had enter
tanned Sir Roger Easement, who has
been in Germany for several months
devoting himself 10 the cause of Irish
freedom, Mr.. Gaffney said:
"The story of the celebration | am
supposed 10 have held in honor of Sir
Roger Easement is a malicious Ier-
version Of facts. A few weeks ago
George b. Mcclellan, ex-Mayor Of New
York, was in Munich. A dinner was
given in his honor. which was attended
by several ambassadors and diGnitar-
les. Sir Roger was then in Munich.
and was invited at the express wish Of
Mr.. Mcclellan.
"The efforts Of the British press 70
involve me are due entirely TO the
fact that am an Irishman. This fact
is enough TO convict me of having lit

consists in the fact that !, as Consul

Boston, Oct 2.-Franklin D. Roose-

Reports on the submarine situation

that we must have no submarines as

"The submarine still is valuable

increased speed in the future cannot
be predicted. But, and this cannot DC

FORMER MEXICAN PRESIDENT
ARRESTED In TEXAS

Ell PASO. TEX, JUNE 2S.-The
arrest of Generals Victoriano Huerta
and Pascual Orozoc here last night
ON charges Of violating the neutral
ity laws of the United States by at
tempting to set ON foot an armed ex-
petition, has forced the abandon
ment temporarily at least. of any
movement to launch new revolu-
tionary movement In Mexico. Huerta
was released on $4,000 and Orozco
was given his liberty under q bond
of half that sum. It is understood
that adherents of the former persi-
dent Of Mexico were prepared to
furnish surety greatly in excess of
the amount fixed.
With the former generals at lib
erty today, Mexican and American Of
ficials were watching developments
among their adherents. Apparently
the tendency Of other factional lead
ers was to await the next move of
their opponents.
Despite the declaration of General
Huerta that he would never enter
Mexico again at the head of an arm
ed force and would not return to his
country until peace had been restored
local and federal officials did not re-
lax their vigilance in watching the
movements of the former president.
A large crowd that gathered at his
daughters home continued to shout
"vivas" for Huerta until long after
midnight.
AS to the local phase of Huerta's
arrest there is nothing looked for un-
til July /, the date set for the Huerta
Or0zco hearing.
Yesterdays happenings is still the
chief topic of discussion.
General Huerta, enrOute to Ell
Paso, left Southwestern train at
Newman, N. M. intending to complete
the twenty mile trip by automobile
with General Pascual Orozco and
Luis Fentes. Instead. the former
president was invited to accompany
states officials to the federal build
ing for conference with represent
atives of the department of justice.
The trip to the city was made under
guard of the Fifteenth United States
cavalry under Col. Geo. H. Morgan.
Huerta made no objection.
News of Huerta's arrival spread
rapidly and SO great a crowd gather
ed around the federal building that
on request of the mayor of Ell Paso
the federal authorities agreed to take
the two officers to Fort Bliss pend
ing action by the department of JUS
tice officials. Last night both were
released and Huerta in conference
with newspaper men expressed his
appreciation of the courtesy shown
him.
