PROBABLE MISSION OF
VESSEL is OF INTEREST

WASIlNGTON, oct. while the
dying visit OF the German war sub
marine to Newport harbor was the
main topic OF discussion among navy
officers tonight. II was tho probable
mission Of the submarine on the
American coast which Interested
them rather than the mechanical fca-
lures OF the submcrgible or the sig
niiicance OF its trip from Germany
aa II might affect naval warfare in
general.
Tho distance covered by the sub.
marine from Wnhelmshayen Is well
within the cruising radius OF much
smaller vessels than the U-53 lnclud-
ing some of the older craft Of the
American navy However. II Is he
lievcd that oven the big L boats
which Journcycd from the North sea
to the Mediterranean and back long
ago. could not carry enough fuel for
. round trip across the Atlantic Ms
we'll as for a tour OF cruising duty
on this side.
For this reason many officers ap-
pcared TO believe that the purpose ~
the trip OF the U-53 must have been
more to give u demonstration OF the
possibilities NJ submarine warfare
than actually to lie in wait for Brit
!sh or Canadian vessels blowing
across the Atlantic
To Create Impression.
The merchant submarine Deutsch-
land crossed the Atlantic and re-
turned. but II n realized that the ap-
pearance Of an armed naval under
water boat will create a much more
profound impression. particularly
upon the public mind in this country.
II was expected that the visit
would revive immediate rumOrs OF
n German submarine buse on the
North Atlantic coast and OF secret
radio stations maintained along the
American coast line by German In
terests Tor the purpose OF communi-
eating with the undersea boats.
Navy Officials Puzzled.
For a submarine patrol of Amer
lean or Canadian ports provision
would have to be made to supply the
fuel. torpcdoes and food supplies.
The average submarine carries not
more than ten or twelve torpedoes at
most. and since the chances are that
several Of these would be fired for
every hit recorded. It would seem
necessary that n reserve supply he
kept close at hand.
While they are without any def
mite basis for IN opinion. majority
OF the officers around the navy de-
partmeut tonight appeared to think
II likely that the U-53 had been sent
over either as n conyeyer for n slower
merchant submarine or with the view
OF threatening Caraudian transports
and ammunition ships sailing from
American ports.
Not First Journey.
The first transatlantic submarine
boat journey was made by British
fighting craft similar to the AmcrI-
can navy's II type boats. ten of which
were constructed in Canada by an
American firm which held the con-
tract. One OF the ten went from the
Canadian coast TO Gibraltar without
stopping It's engine and ten OF them
arrived at their European destina-
ton without accident.
Naval constructors have never
doubted the ability Of Cermany's biz
war submarines to make the trip
since they have greater specd.
greater fuel capacity and less dead
weight to carry than had the Deutscn-
land, which brought more than 700
tons Of general cargo.
