BRITISH NAVAL REFORMS
ANNOUNCED BY CARSON
Admiralty Board Will Be Relieved
Of Administrative Concerning
Construction of Supply.

LONDON. May 15.-Naval reform, long
demanded by public opinion. and which
is the direct outcome of the submarine
menace. has been announced by Sir
Edward Carson, first lord of the adj
miralty. 1t takes the shape of giving
to the admiralty stronger board for
doing for the navy what the committee
of imperial defense does for the army.
Heretofore the admiralty board has
been hampered by heavy administrative
duties concerning construction and
supply, which interfered with it's CIV
ing it's best attention to the fighting
side of the navy This now Is to be
remedied. The new board consists Of
Admiral Sir John r. Jellicoe, Admiral
Sir Henry Oliver, sRear Admiral Alex
ander L. Duff. Rear Admiral Halsey.
Sir Eric Campbell Geddes and H. H. d.
Tothill.
Sir Eric Geddes, the new Civilian
member of the board, with temporary
rank of vice admiral, has previously
been in charge of all communicate
and supplies of war material in France,
where he performed most valuable
work. He now will undertake similar
work for the fleet. as well as organize
the production of ornaments and NUM-
tions, and will control all shipbuilding
requirements for the admiralty. This
will relieve the naval members of the
board of a great load of administrative
work and enable them to devote them
selves entirely to the fighting side of
the fleet, especially the submarine
menace.

AMSTERDAM, via London, May 15.-
The Germans have about 325 subma-
rines in operation. and about so to 100
have been lost through British nets
which prints an interview with a mem
ber of the crew of the submarine U-5s.
This is the submarine which sank the
Dutch grain ships in February
The U-5S is commanded by Capt.
Count Won Plastau. According to the in
teryiew the submarine discharged
three or four torpedoes against the
Dutch ships and then zig-zagged be-
tween them, sinking them with bombs
and shell fire.
When at sea the submarines assemble
at given point every morning and re-
ceive wireless instructions presuma bly,

boats OF the newest type, each carrying
a crew of fifty-six men, and this fleet

The first-class boats have a speed cal
culated at sufficient to overtake any
cargo boat. Two-thirds of their crews
are experienced and one-third novfces.
The boats carry fortnight's stores and
have maximum period of submerg-
ence of from eight to ten hours. Each
is equipped with two. periscopes and

COPENHAGEN, via London. May 10
Prof. Oswald F1amm, privy councillor
and resident of Char1ottenburg, Prus-
sia, in an article in Die Woche (Berlin)
advocates harsher treatment of neutral
ships by Germany with the object Of
intimidating them into remaining in
their home ports and compelling the
British to risk their own ships.
Such reaction against British ton
mage" he says, would be more quickly
enforced if fewer crews of torpedoed
neutral ships were saved. If neutrals
were destroyed so that they disap-
peared without leaving trace. terror
would soon keep seamen and travellers
away from the danger zones and thus
