WAR ON DIVERS TOLD
BRITISH NAVAL COMMANDER
GIVES SECRETS TO THE U. S.
Admiral De Chair Does Not Believe
German Submarines Will Attempt
to Raid America.

Washington, April 28.-Rear Admit
raj Sir Dudley r. S. De Chair, the vet
eran naval officer of Great Britain's
war commission to the United States,
gave group Of Washington newspa-
per correspondents frst-hand story
of some of his experiences during the
two years he commanded a patrol fleet
chasing German submarines. Without
minimizing the gravity of the subma-
rine menace, he confidently predicted
that 1t would be overcome.
Commenting on suggestions that
Germany might undertake a subma-
rine campaign on the American coast,
the admiral said this would not be
profitable from the German point of
view without extensive supply bases
on this side Of the Atlantic.
The admiral spoke of the memorable
lessons the allies had learned in the
war, and said he and his colleagues
had come to place them at the dis
posal OF the American govern
ment.
Il only WISH he said, that I could
tell you the number of German SUBJ
marines that we have sunk. Unfor-
tunately, however, that is a naval Sc
cret as also are the means of detec-
ton of submarines and>ef combating
them, which 1t will be necessary to
guard In closest secrecy until the end
OF the war. Your navy has been fur
nished with full details. however, by
the present mission.
Nobody knows exactly how many
submarines the Germans are building,
but we know they are working at
feverish speed, and have heard reports
that they are turning out from two to
three week"

BY THE THROAT

London, April 30.-Writing Of
the submarine menace, A. G.
Gardiner in the Daily News
says:
LET US face the facts. What
Is the dominating fact Of the
war today? 1t Is this: We have
got Germany by the throat on
land. Germany has got US by
the throat at sea.
ave are trying to force q
military decision. Germany aims
at starving us before we can
get that decision. Our hope Is
in the guns of Artois. Germany's
hopes are In the torpedo of the
submarine. The whale is fight
ing on land; the elephant Is
fighting at sea. Germany is los
ing command of her element,
and we are losing command of
our element"

Noah Webster, the dictionary maker,

tween crullers and doughnuts. His
definition of cruller is: "a small sweet
into rings, strips or twists, and fried
brown in deep fat" His definition of
doughnut is: "a small cake usually
sweetened, often made with yeast, and
fried brown in deep fat" But diff
