eERMANY's INTENTIONS.

Some surprise is expressed in Great Britain that the first of March has arrived and gone and there has not appeared along the routes of trade a large fleet of new submarines of greater size and power put forward by Germany to carry out the new or der concerning armed merchantmen. There has also appeared stories to the effect that Germany does not intend to enforce It's policy by means of underwater boats but that it is plan ming to do 1t by means of disguised cruisers O. the type of Moewe which vessel has been responsible for the sinking of large number of ships of the allies since 1t began it's opera tions.
 Whatever may be the surmises in regard to Germany's intentions, ex- perience shows that little advance in formation can be expected and that it will be necessary to await develop ments.
 If however, 1t should be Germany's plan to send out onto the high seas a fleet of sea raiders, equipped with powerful guns and provided with the required speed, even though 1t Is i'm possible for others to figure out how it is going to be done, 1t must be re- alized that it could raise havoc just | as long as 1t was able to carry on operations, and if governed by the | methods which have been attributed to the Moewe there would be nothing | in the conduct to which exception could be taken either by the neutral or enemy nations. So far as learned l the Moewe has been governed by in- ternational law. It has long list of vessels to it's credit but 1t has not | been carrying on a campaign which disregarded the rights of humanity o1 failed to protect the lives of the pas sengers or crews. It has operated entirely within it's rights and the greater is the credit that belongs tc it for doing so. The Moewe has shown what can be done 1egitimate1y
 to cripple enemy commerce if the dis, | position exists

States vessel finished in the super dreadneught class and yet 1t is three and a quarter knots slower than Brit tsh warsfips of a like class which have been in service for some time. Speed is an important factor with war vessels and the Pennsylvania would be in a bad position should 1t attempt to give battle to the British Queen Elizabeth or others of like speed and armament, because of the speed hand icap alone.
 This is one of the reasons why Ad- mfral Knight in his recent testimony laid so much stress upon battle crui- gers, of which this country has none, but which have been shown to be of so much importance in naval engage ments during the present war because of the combination of speed and pow erfu1 guns.
 That the Pennsylvania is a power full floating fortress which could give an excellent account of itself against a ship that could not outdistance 1t, cannot be questioned, but while 1t has the big guns, an6 a broadside which far outweighs ever the Queen Elizabeth, it lacks the speed to make it the worlds greatest fight ing craft.
