VERY HARD SUBMARINE WORK
Germans Nov Using Their Under-Ses
Boats to Strew Mines for
Enemy Warships.

Mines have always been laid in the
sea by vessels especially equipped for
that purpose The warning powers Of
Europe have built submarines to kill
and destructive engines Of warfare
they have proved to be.
The Germans have recently utilized
submarines for mine.laying. That re
port has not been rife long. but az
far as anyone can learn it is authen
tic. Laying mines by this. means would
not be impossible. and it is very prob
able that it is being done in war zone
waters today The mines themselYe
are carried on the submarine. A hoi
low. alright compartment contain
the mines: the chamber. or compari
rnent, is vertical. and the mi0es ar
placed one above the other in the in
closure. The submarine then sallie
forth with its death-dealing load.
When the area designated for tbt
mines is reached and a mine is to be
laid, the mine-layers let water into the
chamber. The door which seals thel
bottom Of the chamber is in the ex
terror she'll Of the submarines hull
This door is opened. and one after an.
other the mines are liberated from
their submarine prison They are not
simply dropped into the ocean as one
might drop stone; placing them prop
erly takes care and skill and special
appliances.
Each mine has its anchor. which
goes to the bottom. The so-called AN.
chorage cable is manipulated in such
way that it allows the mine to float
from its anchor at a certain specified
depth below the top Of the water.
The complete secrecy insured by
miHe-laying in this method would ap
peal particularly to any belligerent. be
cause the more secret niinelaying can
be kept the more pcrilous it is to the
foe.
