THE GERMANS AGAIN
SURPRISE THE WORLD

EARLY in the war the Germans
astonished the world by the
wonderful preparedness Of their
armies, and then followed .ex-
ploits by their naval rommanders
which outclass all socaled so
mances of the seas, e. g., =. the
cruise of the Emden. There was
also the thrilling voyage of a
submarine from Germany s ports
to Constantinople during which
she lead havoc with the. enemy s
ships.
And now comes the Deutch-
land crossing the Atlantic. Some
months ago some American made
submarines crossed for service
in the British navy, but this
boat has made the long trip
Through hostile waters and is
said to have dived under fully
200 enemy craft. Its arrival
becomes notable in several ways.
1t destroys our timeworn
feeling Of security behind ocean
barriers. The ocean is no
longer a barrier; it is high
way Of approach and we must
reconstruct our entire naval de-
femse.
In arming the Deutchland with
only two small guns the Ger
man Imperial government has
accepted the American decision
that merchantmen may be al
lowed this much for protection
without being classed as men
Of war.
With a large fleet of such YES
sells Germany could minimize the
British blockade, although over
Importance is apt to be given to
the cargo carrying possibilities
Of this biggest Of submarines.
The freightage of $50 tons is so
small that it would take an i'm
mense fleet Of them to carry
enough to give any relief to a
starving nation.
However, with such boats di-
rect mail communications with
Americt can be kept up and
enough munitions could be
transported to at least prove the
falsity Of the German COM
plaint that we are favoring the
allies in our sales.
1t is an achievement the pos
sibilities Of which are not yet
entirely understood, but it is
worthy of the genius of a great
people and in spectacular cf-
fects will not soon be Forgotten.
