Sub Pirates
New Danger Grows From
Example Present War.

Three or four years ago We thought
that most of the romance in the world
had heen swept away, and that hui
Slnahlty had settled down to a hum
drum existence for the balance of its
Gays. All of the continents had been
explored, all Of the mountains climbed
ana men no longer rescued fair ladies
from frowninS castles Then came
the war with new deeds of daring
ana many OF horror. such as the world
never had known, even in its darkest
times Most terrible of al, crimes
nave been those of the l'-boat raiders.
Now the suggestion has been mnaa
that when peace comcs-as Il must
souhe dag-We may have q return OF
piracy. Suppose that a bold spirit
possessed of Il submarine decided to
turn pirate? Who would check him
or stop his maranding. Multiply one
such spirit by a dozen or fifty, and
| we have a condition of piracy inf
nitely worse than anything known in
the past ages
The difficulty of running down sub
marines is well known. If q pirate
craft of this kind had n base on soma
faraWay island and went unon 4
cruise of destruction. it would be a
| pretty task to trace the raider to his
base. We have seen that a t--boat
could cross the Atlantic and sinl, ships
almost within reach of our guns. OF
course that was before America en-
| tered the war, but it showed the cruis-
ing radius of the German submarines
50 the possibility of under sea pirates
that come to the surface, board peace
able ships, perhaps scuttle their prey.
and then disappear. is n problem that
! already has received thought from
some of the large shipping interests.
