Washington, Feb. l5.-Although Rear
Admiral Grant. who is in charge OF the

Inmates there should be at least 1853

ness, "the crews cannot stay for more
than ten days. There is not enough
room. In the larger boats they can
stay . much longer time, say q month.
Tha. adds greatly 20 their efficacy.
"The simple fact that a submarine
can take long trip on the surface does
not mean anything 70 me, because the
boat is meant 20 do its work sub

pacity and speed characteristics are
what are important. The question
