Within range of 2,56S nautical

and do this on the surface. Once in
the open sea a submarine in light con.
dition would be an ineouspicuous OBJ
ject, and it could count with measur-
able confidence upon getting under
cover of the waves long before hostile
vessels would be aware of its presence
At least this would be generally the

Big U-6oats Not Vulnerable.
The fact that British anti-subma.
rine patrols have sunk big German
U-boats does not mean that they
would not have sent to the bottom
quite as easily underwater craft OF
lesser displacements. They destroyed
big boats, in all probability, mainly
because they had only large sub
marines to contend with. This does
not warrant the conclusion that under
| water craft Of 1900 tons are necessar
| lily more vulnerable, on account OF
their size, than U-boats Of half that
| displacement Increased tonnage has

Each Society Will
Have DUN Budget in
Nero Charity Bureau

Several changes in the budget pro-
visions of the constitution made sew
eral weeks ago, were made Wednes-
day at a meeting Of the Social Serv-
ice Bureau.
1t was decided to change the con-
stitution in such manner that each
charity organization of Richmond al
filiating with the bureau will have
charge of its own budget.
Each club will have two representa-
tives on the board
The board will include twenty
members, two from each society, the
remainder to be elected by the board
at its annual meeting.
A permanent organization will be
made in two weeks when an effort
will be made to secure secretary to
take charge Of the work.
Rev. r. L. Semans presided at the
meeting. Professor N. c. Hetronimus
acted as secretary. Fifteen members
were present.

do what they could not have done had
they depended solely upon submarines
OF the U-53 class. That is to say, the
U-boats that have scored 50 heavily
during the present year by means OF
gunfire, and which have operated hun
/ dreds of miles seward from the
British Isles, have, so far as reports
go, generally been OF displacements in
the neighborhood of 1000 tons.
And now we are told that the Teu-
tons have well advanced still greater
seagoing submarines OF about 1900
| tons-boats capable OF making fifteen
knots on the surface; armed with guns
| OF six-inch calibre; and said to be able
to keep the sea for two or three
months. II this be so-and there is
nothing mechanically or technically
prohibitive in such design. then what
| is more likely than that Germany
should elect to send these craft right
across the Atlantic?
Commerce Raiders on Atlantic7
Only month ago It was announced
| that reliable information had reached
the British admiralty to the effect
that Germany was intent upon supple
menting the winter activities OF heI
U-boats by commerce raiders which
would cruise In the Atlantic and pos
sibly operate sporadically off the
American coast These speedy block
1 ade runners have scored heavily ir
the past, and they have uniformly car
ried ornaments superior to those
aboard our destroyers. Why couldn'1
vessels Of this sort serve the double
/ purpose OF preying upon commerce and
providing mobile bases Of supply FOL
offensive submarines? With ships o.
this kind to draw upon, the hostile
radius of action of the U-boat becomes
Immensely widened. The underwater
craft would no longer have to seek {

home port for the replenishment Of
fuel. edible stores, etc., nor would
there be any difficulty in providing
thus for a fairly frequent relief OF
crews. After all. the range Of a U-boat
is determined by the endurance OF her
personnel.
Knowing the vital part that America
IL bent upon playing In hearteninG
