U-53 A WARNING,
MAXIM ASSERTS
Bids u. S. Take Heed OF
What Germany Could
Do Unhampered.

The coming Of the U-5S is great
stunt" said Hudson Maxim, inventor
and member of the Naval Consulting
Board. last night, "but it will not
be able TO cripple English activities.
To my mind, the principal significance
of the feat is as q warning as 10 what
we might expect il we should have war
with Germany or any other great
Furopean power. If Germany can spare
the energy now TO produce submarines
of such power, imagine what she might
be able TO do in times OF peace, with
the Allies off her back and more energy
at her command.
"Of course, every time ship carry
ing munitions is sunk England is hurt
in some degree, but il does not seem 10
me that Germany would be able TO get
enough submarines over here inside OF
eighteen months or so TO do any ap-
preciable damage. IL must be remem-
bered that a fishing pole 5000 miles
long is a pretty long pole. Further
more, A submarine cannot carry very
many torpedoes, probably not more
than six or eight, and when the boat
now operating around here uses up its
available supply there isn't anything
for il 10 do but go home. 1t is eX-
tremely impossible that the craft can
have a base on this side of the At
lentic.
THE U-53 is manned by a picked
crew, and it would be very difficult for
Germany TO find the crews with the ex-
perience and other qualifications neces-
sary for a voyage Of this character. 1t
must not be forgotten, too, every i'm
plement of war gets It's answer. Eng
land has not the naval equipment on
this side Of the ocean that she has on
the other, but with her Canadian bases
II would not be very long. should the
submarine menace become grave on this
side Of the Atlantic, before she would
have the seas swarming with trawlers
ana torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers. She could have the waters
off every American port patrolled by
trawlers, and il is common knowledge
that the trawlers Of the English Chan
mel and the North Sea have accounted
for a great many German submarines"

By CUSHING STETSON.


In connection with the activities OF
the German submarine U-53 at Newport
Yesterday, the suggestion was made
last night by a naval officer of national
reputation that Germany may try to
throw an effective Gordon of subma-
rines along the lines Of commerce on
the eastern coast Of the Unite States.
The arrival of the U-53 was no sur
prise to American naval officers. For
more than year they have been say
ing in confidence the arrival of such
a submarine was merely a question of
time. Some officers were OF the opin-
ion when the mercantile submarine
Deutschland suddenly appeared at Bal
timore a few months ago, that the trip
was in the nature of an experiment
to test the effectiveness Of the present
English blockade" and to discover any
unforeseen obstacles in the way OF a
successful transatlantic trip.
1t has been limited from time to time
the German naval authorities have al
ready established base CT supplies
within striking distance of Norfolk or
New York. Some naval officers believe
this entirely feasible and possible al
though they also point out that Ger
man submarine would have little prac-
tical difficulty in obtaining supplies OF
fuel and food from some supposedly
neutral ship without the three-miie
limit
Easy to Get Supplies.
The larger types of German subma-
rines are equipped with wireless can
easily make their whereabouts known;
and again they could arrange meet,
inc with a supply ship in advance OIL
sailing. 1t is pointed out that the tug
Timmins was waiting for the Deutsch-
land at q prearranged place before the
outside world even knew Of the suoma-
rine's existence.
In view, however, Of what is known
of German efficiency and foresight,
many naval officers assert they would
rely on no such haphazard arrange
ment as supply ships, whicA after the
first week or so of espionage of out
going and incoming ships would be
located by the Allied fleets. 1t is these
officers who believe that regular base
of supplies has been systematically
stocked with fuel oil, repai- parts and
food by the Germans, preparatory TO
any espionage of United States ports
which they may undertake.
A United States battleship can carry
supplies and food for only six months.
II was stated on board the U-53 they
had been at sea for seventeen days and
had ample supplies to last for three
months. This some naval officers con-
slider frankly impossible, considering
the size of the vessel, the fact that
there are thirty-three men aboard to
be fed and who must have sleeping
space, and the fact that the submarine
probably carries at least eight torpe-
does in the neighborhood o twenty
feet long.
Their ability to remain at sea for
another three months must be, in the
opinion of these officers, merely an
other German way of saying that they
