with gasoline engines or electric

When these cars reached their

the hay was soon blown bodily

There is a decided saving of time

 COMPLETES PLANS
 FOR BRIGHTER SUB

NEW YORK, July 2z The Elec- tric Boat Co.,. which has built sey- eral hundred submarines since the war began. has completed plans for cargo-carrying submarine 335 feet long. which would be larger than the Deutschland. Submarine experts have concluded that the Deutschland has a total submerged displacement Of about 5000 tons. This would give her a cargo capacity of at elast 1000 tons. Experts agree that a submarine 1000 feet long and displacing 50,O00 tons would be practicable But 1t would be impossible for her to submerge in the shallow waters of the North Sea or the Atlantic coast. This would mean that a submarine, in order to submerge at all effectively, would have to be not more than 8G feet from top ot coming tower to keel. A boat Of this depth, with other dimensions in proportion, would be of approximately 5000 tons displacement
