RIVAL OF SUB

Carson-Big Problem.

London, April 26.-Mines laid In the
important British shipping lanes BY
the German U-boats are proving just

that lin the olden times the laying OF
mines was dangerous, but II was
nothing then to what 1t IL now, when
submarines are employed not only 70
sink ships, but to lay minis below the
surface OF the water"
Mines Of this character have caused
heavy loss in the English channel
since the submarine campaign began
on Feb. /, and from the promiscuous
way In which these machines were
scattered they were much more dim
cult TO deal with than when placed by
surface craft in more or less defined
areas.
"A submarine can follow our mine
sweepers," said Sir Edward Carson,
"and as quickly as we sweep up mines
they can lay new ones without our
knowing or suspecting. Do not UNDER
estimate the danger and diffieulties Of
that operation" Necessarily, this
practice involves the navy in a gi-
tive immunity. Complete immunity
cannot in Ihe circumstances be ex-
pected.
Submarine mines Of this character.
freshly laid, were swept up in the
path of the American Liner st. Louis.
Similar mines, from which it had
providential escape. were found at a
place where the st. Louis was anchor
ed for several hours.
During the past two months Of ruth

stroyers have been sunk in the Eng
