Washington, Feb. TO-
Back of the mathematical
Lloyd's reports on ship de-
struction in Germanv's T.
boat campaign probably lies
a dramatic story of British
counter measures. inasmuch
as the tonnage reported
wrecked now seems dwind-
ling. While the falling off in
tonnage sunk the past two
days may be only temporary,
some authorities here see in
it the possibility that Ger
many's era of ''fri ghtful-
ness in the barred area is
to be short lived.
According to British circles today
England prepared for Germanys sub
marine drive some time in advance.
She set out new patrols, and took steps
to see that liners were armed.
LANES OF CRUISERS.
Perhaps, 1t was suggested, England
already has established guarded lanes
of cruisers within the barred area, and
moreover it Is believed by naval au-
thorities Germany has lost many OF
her observation-disclosures on this point
the British admiralty never will tell
any tales. Some of Germany's under
sea craft have undoubtedly put back
to their base before now. having used
UP their supply of torpedoes.

AMERICA 10 HAVE.
WITH
EARS AND BRAINS
One Of the Surprise Weap-
ons That Will Be Sprung
When the Proper Time
Comes.

Pittsburg, Feb. 10.-A torpedo
that can detect and single out an
enemy craft, release itself and at a
speed of 40 miles an hour rush to
attack it is one of the surprise"
weapons in the hands of the United
States government today, accord
ing to Montraville Wood. Chicago
scientist and inventor. Wood de-
clared in a lecture here that he has
turned over to the government such
a defensive weapon, together with
another invention which will i'm
munize ships of the home fleets to
attack by his torpedo or anything
similar to 1t.
RUSH TO ATTACK.
at is really a torpedo with ears
and a BRAIN he said. THE ears
work on the same principle as hui
man ears. They detect an enemy
ship at distance of 10 miles and
at a distince of one and onehalf
miles they slip from their anchors
and rush to attack.
THE BRAIN" he said. Il cannot
tell you so much about. That Is
my little secret"
Wood, who invented the detecta-
phone, also told OF wireless con-
trolled aeroplane being tried by
the government. 1t carries no av-
iator.

sisted upon by the German govern
ment, two American freight ships. the
| orleans and the Rochester, will sail to-
day for Europe, the first American
vessels to leave this port in defiance of
the submarine order.
The ships, according to their owners.
will carry no contraband. They are
not armed.
The Orleans carries crew OF 80
men, of which, in addition to Captain
Tucker, 80 are American citizens. She
sails for Bordeaux.
ROCHESTER GOES TO FRANCE.
The Rochester will attempt to make
Rouen, France. She carries provisions.
but no absolute contraband.
1t will be the first voyage for the
Orleans under the American flag. She
recently was transferred from Argen-
tine registry.
The American liner St Louis so far
has not been armed Efforts to get
guns have met with no success, al
though the country has been combed.
She probably will not sail until next
week.
TO TRANSFER MAIL.
Mails from the st. Louis may be
transferred to the White Star liner
Cedric, which will sail next week with
huge cargo and no passengers. The
Cedric is armed.
The Rochester was anchored off
staten Island before noon today. Six
tugs pulled her out from her Iier last
night and officials of the company
had declared she had sailed. Later re-
ports, however, suggested some trouble
with the crew. The official explana-
tion was that the departure of the Ro-
chester had been delayed when il was
discovered there was no cook aboard.
The company officials admitted however
that the members OF the crew were to
be paid a Handsome bonus" for max
ing the trip and it may be the Roches
ter may have been halted while their
demands were adjusted.
CAPTAIN HAS NO FEAR.
A pilot went aboard the freighter
Orleans shortly before noon today.
Captain Allen Tucker at the same
time appearing at the offices of the
line to clear up an irregularity in the
papers Of the ship.
Il see no difference between sailing
now than before the submarine decree
went into effect" the captain said.
1--WE could not fight a submarine any
way, so we are going unarmed and
we will go direct to Bordeaux. l don't
think we will be molested.
when we transferred from Argen
tine to American registry there was
some minor detail in the ships papers
which was enteted wrong. We are
clearing that UP.
THE crew will receive a so per cent
bonus on this trip, as on all others
since the submarine activities made
our trips dangerous. They are salts
fled with this arrangement and there
has been no hint OF a demand for a
larger bonus"
