American Naval Officers Say
Purported German Plan
Would Tax Teutons.

Reports from London that Germany
intends 20 proclaim a formal submarine
warfare zone along the American. Cana
dian and Cuban coasts are doubted by
many American naval officers. 1t was
pointed out today that any effort to
carry the U-Luat warfare across the At
lantic would add enormously to the tax
upon the German submarines and de-
crease by just that much the effective
ness of their work in the zones where
they now are operating.
Presumably the only purpose OF ex-
tending the submarine zones to this
side of the Atlantic would be in the
hope that the United States would be
compelled to withdraw its forces from
European waters for the protection Of
shipping on this side. 1t would have
to be made effective enough to be Sc
rious menace. however. before any such
result could be expected. and present
in dicationS are that the U-hoats have
more than they can do in their effort
