Submarines.
SOME DRIFT TO SEA
AND ARE BIG MENACE
Liable to Blow Up Ships at
Any Moment; Fisher
men in Danger.

Correspondence of The Associated Press
DARIS, April 15.-German subma-
L rines and minelayers place an es-
tmated number of one thousand
mines each month in the waters oi
the entente allies. The question as
to what becomes of the great ma
jority-those which do not accomplish
the object for which they were post
eds dealt with Interestingly in re-
port prepared by Rear Admiral De-
gouy afer a careful calculation which
includes figures as to the mine-carry-
ing capacity of submarines, the num-
ber of voyages of submarines and
mnelayers, and the number OF
mines located and destroyed. Admiral
Degouy believes that the presence oi
these engines Of destruction will be
a formidable danger for ships for sew
erai years after peace comes.
Captured i'm Nets.
Quantities of mines," this navy Of
fiical declares, ARE carried away
from their anchorage by the currents
into wide ocean, perpetuating the
danger perhaps. but diminishing i'm
mediate risks; quantities of others
drift ashore where they are immedi-
ately made harmless; the fishermen.
to their great peril, capture a great
number in their nets.
The adjustment of the exploding
apparatus of the engine is not so sim
pie and it's apparatus for stability at
the proper depth doesn't always
work. To produce its full effect the
mine must be held at depth Of from
three to five yards. IL the stabilizing
apparatus doesn't work, it will de-
scend too deeply or will come to the
surface, where it will be readily dis
covered and destroyed. Where no
stabilizing apparatus Is used, floaters
are required and they also are easily
discovered by good observers. More
over, mines too close to the surface
have not the maximum destructive ef-
feet.
Drifting Danger.
Notwithstanding the conditions
that reduce to very small proportions
the mines that really explode out Of
the twelve thousand laid each year,
they constitute a formidable danger
that will not disappear for several
years after the war is over All the
mines that drift to sea risk some day
or other encountering ship. Such
accidents have already occurred, as in
the case Of the French battleship
Bouvet destroyed by drifting mine
at the Dardanelles.
The logical defense against the
sowing of mines broadcast would be
to go to the origin of the evil to
strike the Germans in their ports -
demolish their pirate nests and block
ade their coasts so closely no mine
layer could pass. The allies, how
ever. have adopted plan of action
that particular circumstances have
dictated and it is probably the most
effective possible, in spite of logical
speculations that might indicate the
contrary. History alone can decide
between the partisans of an active and
an expective attitude"

Germans Now Making Thread
From the Stocks of Alfalfa

1t Is the more so since experiments
have proven that the best thread
from the lupine comes from the ma.
ture plant. which means that the
lupine culture will not have to be
checked at the expense Of the see.l
In order to obtain thread. Nor does
threshing injure the thread part OF
the stalk in the least.
captain Won Bluecher's machine
Just invented, can be moved from
farm to farm, much as a threshing
machine is moved. so that the lupine
grown on each estate can be handled
there without any transportation dif-
iiculties! After the thread material
has been extracted from the stalk the
remainder is available as straw for
bedding. etc.
AS a further advantage. the two
kinds of lupine prevailing in Germany
will grow in almost any kind of soil,
but especially In sandy. dry places.
such as abound in the eastern part Of
Germany, and which can be used
for hardly anything else. Beside the
thread material from the stalk, the
plants seeds yield oil and its roots
