DEUTSCHLAND'S CHANCES

What are h echances of the allies
to catch the Deutschland?
They are not as great as people
might think. The thought of numer~
GUS British and French warships
waiting outside the three-mile limit
probably doesn't strike dread to Capt.
Koenig The submarine merchant
mans ability to travel under water
is not only a method of avoiding a
meeting with hostile warships, but it
is a method of escaping the conse-
queces of such meeting if one oc-
ours. In other words, the Deutsch-
land, in all probability, will be able
to avoid meeting the large numbers
of warships of the allies in the At
lantic. And in the second place, if
she sights warship she can duck
under" and remain under for a pc
riod as great as four days.
There is little danger of submarine
nets being used outside the three
mile limit to catch the Deutschland.
Frank L. Polk, solicitor of the state
department, stated that the allies
have right to drop their cts there,
but he doesn't think there is any like
lihood of their doing so. 1--WE will
worry about that when some one in
vents net that can be placed and
kept outside the three-mile limit" he
said.
Franklin Roosevelt, assistant sec
rotary of the navy, says:
"A submarine can run under water
fifty miles. Therefore, it would be
necessary to place nets fifty miles
each way from tn epoint of departure
100 miles in all. A battleship's |
torpedo net, which is like a subma-
rine net, is 500 feet long and costs
$4,000. At that rate a mile of net
would cost 100000, and 100 miles
would cost $5OOOO,OOO Supposing
cost to be no object. there isn't that
much submarine net in tn eworld, nor
,oufd it be manufactured
The Deutschland is likely to en-
counter more danger on the other
ide than just outside the three-mile
INIT off the American coast.-Chatta-
