New Undersea Craft Built to Cut Wire
Hawsers.

All Germany now appears TO have
come to the conclusion that the subma

German nation.

largest submarines being used solely
for the purpose of training news. and
this is by no means the only center.
The most striking features of these
new vessels are their great size and
the new and extraordinary shape of
the bows.
The outline OF the bows Is described
as being much like the blade Of a
scythe pointing upward out of the wa
