.U.BOAT WAR FAILS,

marine warfare results ran In strong
curves. There have been weeks In
which scarcely q single enemv ship was
torpedoed. others In which ono or more
dozen ships were destroyed. Thus the
Reuter- bureau reported that In the
week ended August I six English mer-
chant and nine fishing vessels were
sunk bv German submarines. 1t was
added that 1.4s5 ships had arrived at

this number as possibly too high. and
may think that probably they were in
manv cases the same ships. But 1t is
events at least 1000 ships traffic with
British ports In week. II we con-
slider the results OF our submarine ac-
tivities un till now-that Is to say, OF
these 1000 ships ten were destroyed-it
Is understandable that many a one will
not declare himself satisfied.
To attack about 1900 vessels which
visit English ports in a week requires
not small number Of submarines.
According to the Nauticus of 1914 We
ed submarines. The statements OF the
book are also based upon official
sources. There Is no reason why they
should not have unqualified belief.
Now. 1t is often assumed that such a
little submarine can be completed in
the briefest time. But a modern high
seas submarine Is by no means small
1t displaces 1000 tons or more, and Is
thus considerably larger than a tor
pedo boat. 1nasmuch as 1t represents
ture mechanisms. and in view OF the
lact that everything aboard a subma =
rine must be fashioned for the small
est possible space. IT becomes evident
that the period for building a U-boat
cannot be quite as short as we might
wish. There Is nj n fed
instrument of battle than the subma-
rine. and that means also that Its di-
rection and manipulation cannot be
quickly learned. and that before a
ed to their boat and before 1t can be
reported ready for service a consid-
cradle time must elapse.

WAR SITUATION.

London, Oct. Is COPS a. M J
Bulgaria has declared war on
Serbia, says a Central News dis
patch from Paris.
A dispatch from the Bulgarian
frontier states that a declaration
of war against Serbia Will be
posted throughout Bulgaria.
The Vossische Zeitung repub-
fishes a dispatch to the Zurich
Neue Nachrichten to the effect
that Bulgaria declared war on
Serbia, with this comment:
I'VE can say this report is, in
form, premature. 1t is a fact,
however, that Serbo- Bulgarian
relations have grown so much
more acute in the past few hours
that an armed conflict between
Serbia and Bulgaria must appear
unavoidably near"
The Austro. German invasion
of Serbia is making progress,
the War Office announced, al
though the Serbians by their re.
sistance are interfering to some
extent with the advance. A vii.
liage and other positions south Of
Belgrade have been captured.
