The Homeward Dash

Now that the German commerce submarine Deutsch-
land loading cargo and making ready for the return
voyage, the United States and, might weH say,
the world watching for that dash out into the open
sea In defiance Of bellgeTent warships.
1t IS well known that French and British cruisers
are lurking off the three mile limit, awaiting chance
at the big submersbie VIII they succeed in catching
her? Capt Koenig says he will duck and get past the
Gordon unless the warShips make inside the three
mile limit. That would be a violation of American
neutrality British warShipS great respecters
Of neutrality, however as Chile testify.
Looking forward to such possibility, II IS under
the United States to send several torpedo boat
destroye1s out to the verge of territorial waters to
guard against such d violation.
We shall then, have this picture: An Entente
fleet vigantly watching for the submarine to make
its dash into the ocean; small American fleet watch
ing the Entente ships, and the Deutschland herself
slipping along through the waters, lodging and duck
ing like great fish, looking for chance TO break
through the Gordon go under it. 1t should be most
interesting spectacle when the test comes, and even
interesting If the Uboat tries to the English
channel with literally hundreds of hostile craft look
ing for her.
The feat of the Deutschland has inspired the
creators of submarine craft efforts still greater It
Is announced by the North German Lloyd line that
American fleet of submarines consisting Of boats
eral times larger than the Deutschland is contem-
plated. And with the example of the Deutschland to
pave the way, such fleet really may materialze.
Also, it would appear, Germany herself has another
card TO PLAYA transatlantic fleet of cargo carrying
zeppelins.
Thus, high in the air and under the sea, Germany
hopes to break BTittania's rule of the waves
